Nursery Necessities "Baby"

Another from my class featuring Nursery Necessities... this being the "baby card" - who would have thought! Had to make one card in the expected style for this set!

For this one, I used Pirouette Pink, or is it Pink Pirouette... I always forget and don't feel like checking right now... Anyway, the patterned paper is from the Sweet Always set (yes, I've been using a ton of that!), and the elephant is stamped in Regal Rose and layered over a Whisper White scallop punch circle. The verse is embossed in white on a strip of Regal Rose and layered over a strip of Whisper White punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. The ribbon is White Taffeta.

Happy Stamping!

Nursery Necessities Boy's Birthday Card

This was another of the cards from my recent class "It's Not Just for Babies". This little sail boat makes the cutest little boy birthday card.

The color combos you could use are nearly limitless, but I chose this striped paper from the Summer Picnic set to determine my color combo. The colors are Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive, with some Whisper White as the neutral. I used the 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain to join my layer of textured Bashful Blue and the DSP. No sense in using the textured card stock and covering it up, right? The wavy verse is from Stem Saying and is stamped in Bashful Blue.



Oh, yes, a little paper piercing at the bottom too, I almost forgot that detail!

Halloween Nursery Necessities

Remember those little hints of what to expect from my "It's Not Just for Babies" class back on October 8th? Yesterday was the last of my classes, so now I'll show you the rest of what we did...

This card was very simple, but shows how a change of colors can change the mood of a card. Just visualize this same card with Bashful Blue, Whisper White, and So Saffron... change the "boo" to "baby" and you have a cute, traditional baby card. But, using the Halloween palette changes everything:

On this I used Pumpkin Pie ink and card stock with the Polka Dot background, Basic Black and Kiwi Kiss, and More Mustard for the moon. The "boo" is embossed in white using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet.

If you have done a Halloween project with a "non-Halloween" stamp set, I'd love to see it! Please post a link to it in the comments below. It's great to see how we can stretch the use of our stamps!

Happy Stamping!

Where have I been?

Where have I been? I haven't posted anything in forever! Well, the photo above should give you a hint of what my excuse is this time! Yep, the whole family went on a cruise. Above you can see my kids (the two little specks) by the butt of the ship in Nassau.

It's amazing how being out of town for six days can get me behind! Anyway, enough with the excuses... Look for my Halloween card made with the Nursery Necessities set very soon!

Way to Go Ellen!

This is a large card (6 3/4" x 5 1/2") that I made for my daughter this week after learning that she was voted Student of the Month at her middle school. I wanted to make something a bit fun and funky, and I think it came out pretty well. The background papers are all from the retired Polka Dots and Paisleys Designer Series Papers. The "way" is stamped with Short Order Alphabet in Versamark and embossed with white on Tempting Turquoise, and then punched out with the My Way Jumbo punch. The "2" is chipboard glittered with the Two way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds, and the "GO" is die cut with the Serif Essentials dies and the Stampin' Up! Big Shot machine.

Not Just for Babies Class

This month I am trying something different... I'm building a class around one stamp set and showing it's versatility. It's always fun to see the different looks you can get with one set just by changing the colors and layout. Here is a sneak peek of my first class "It's Not Just for Babies" featuring the Nursery Necessities stamp set. I will be posting the full cards in the coming days, but here's a peek:

My first class is Thursday evening at 7PM, so if you are local and would like to attend, just email me: 1morestamp@gmail.com

Nursery Necessities Gift Card

This is a sweet little gift card that I did with the Nursery Necessities set quite a while back. The card is a 3" square Textured So Saffron card layered with Bashful Blue and Whisper White. I stamped the moon in So Saffron craft ink and embossed with Heat n' Stick powder and then applied Dazzling Diamonds on top.

I will be doing a class using the Nursery Necessities set this month. Check my Stampin' Up! website for the dates (www.1morestamp.stampinup.net) or email me at 1morestamp@gmail.com for more information.

Wow Flowers in Kiwi Kiss

Okay, I think this is the last Wow Flowers card for a while. I've really been giving this little set a workout. This one was one of my convention swaps in July, so those of you who have been to my place to stamp have probably already seen it, but for the rest of you...

The base card is Kiwi Kiss stamped with Kiwi Kiss ink, the next layer is Pacific Point stamped with Pacific Point ink, then the focal point is stamped in Pacific Point ink on Whisper White and layered to Chocolate Chip. Chocolate Chip grosgrain and a little paper piercing finish it off.

Happy Stamping!
