Stamp With Anne

Bella & Friends Card

Hello,

Have you seen this super adorable stamp set in the annual catalogue?? This new stamp set called Bella & Friends was designed by fellow demonstrator Angie Juda around her adorable dog Bella and her parrot Skittles. Angie has reached one of the top milestones at Stampin' Up! by reaching one million in sales! That is a huge accomplishment and when you reach this new title you have the option of working with concept artist to create your own stamp! How cool is that...I can't wait to reach this milestone so I have this amazing opportunity!!

My project today was one that I created for swap that I was in. Last month, my Stamp2Cre8 team had a shoebox swap. We had 14 ladies participate and I can't wait to share all the amazing cards with you! It was so much fun that we are doing it again in the fall.

 

I had to admit that I had to have this stamp set as it reminds me of Daisy. Daisy is my co-workers dog and we are her second home away from home. We get her about 3 times a year when my coworker goes on holidays. They would rather have Daisy stay with us where they know she is going to get alots of love. Most of my customers know Daisy and love her just as much as we do! She is a little princess and fits right into our family!!

I had to use my favourite colour combo of Flirty Flamingo, Cucumber Crush and Whisper White.

Come create with me...

• I stamped Bella in Black Archival Ink and let it dry. The key to this ink is to let is dry so it doesn't bleed with you start using it
• I used my Blender Pen and Sahara Sand to colour in the dog image, Watermelon Wonder for the collar and Cucumber Crush for the grass. I just add my own grass so it didn't look like she was flowing in the air
• The scallop circle and the circle were done with the Layering Circle collection and the Big Shot machine
• Add a white perfect accent to your title
• I used the 2016-2018 Incolour Designer Series Paper collection for my pattern paper. This pack of paper is great to have on hand as you always have a pattern to match your ink, and cardstock

No Bones About It- Birthday Card

Hello,

Today, I'm sharing with you one of the projects that we made last month in our Simply Occasions Class. I'm loving the new Incolours and can't get enough of the Emerald Envy. It's reminds me of my Irish background and the beautiful colours in the that county!! Oh, how I hope that Stampin' Up! will have an Incentive Trip there in the near future!! Now trust me, that is one trip the whole family will be going on!!!

My card uses a layout that I saw on my friend Erica's blog. I really liked the layout that she used on her going places card and thought it would be fun to give it a try.

 

I used the No Bones about it stamp for my project today. My goal when creating cards is to mix old stamp set in with new product. Plus, I thought it would be great to have some masculine cards on hand for my stash!!

To create my dinosaurs, I only used the Emerald Envy ink pad. For the solid image, I inked my stamp in Emerald Envy and stamped off a few times so I would have a softer tone. Then using the xray image, I stamped in Emerald Envy in full strength so it looks stronger on the image. I love how it turned out!!

I used one of my favourite framelits on this project the Swirly Scribbles. These framelits are a MUST in your collection as you can use them on any theme or occasions!!

Let's Celebrate- Confetti Celebration Birthday Card

Happy Monday!!

Sorry for being MIA the last few days! It's been a busy days few around here. I spent a few days prepping samples for upcoming classes in August and then on Saturday, the girls and I spend the day at an information session at Waterloo. It was a great day filled with tons of information for both Emily and I. She spent the day with her fellow peers learning what a day will be like for her at university and I spend the day with other parents learning how to support our child while they are away. To be honest, I'm not sure I'm ready for the next steps in the fall...too many changes and that makes my heart sad!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for Emily as she embarks in her new adventure, I just don't like the fact that she won't be here with us everyday!!

For my project today, I CASE my card idea from my friend Allison. Now I didn't have the same background stamp that she used, so I switched it up to the Let's Celebrate from the Confetti Celebration stamp set and love how it turned out!!

 

My focus point for the card was the camera and the flash behind it. The camera is from the new hostess stamp set called Pun Intended and the flash came from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set. I love when you can pick older stamp set with new on your projects!! You can see all the supplies that I used in this project in the clickable links below.

Snow Place Shaker Card

Hello,

I have another shaker card to share with you. This was the other project that we made in our technique class last week. Our focus for the night was how to create Shaker Cards!! As I was sharing with you yesterday, they are so quick and easy to create especially with the new Foam Adhesives Strips. 

It's been so hot and humid here lately and we are in for another blast the next few days. So I was trying to think of "cool" thoughts and thought it would be fun to create a Christmas Shaker card with one of my favourite stamp sets and matching framelits from last year Holiday Catalogue. I was SO happy when I saw it in new catalogue this year as that means I get to use my favourite "Snowman" again for another year!!

When I was dreaming of this card in my mind, I knew that I wanted to stick with the cooler colours so went with Dapper Denim, Silver and Whisper White.

This card came together very quickly with the help of the new Layering Circle Framelits and my best friend the Big Shot!!! It you have not seen these new framelits collection, I would encourage you to check them out as there are multiple sizes and layers that you can mix and match for you projects!

Confetti Celebration Shaker Card

Hello,

Last week in our technique class, we learned how to make shaker cards. I used to hate making shaker cards as they were alot of work BUT not anymore they are so quick and easy especially with our new Foam Adhesive strips. These new adhesive strips come in a sheet with already cut out strips, all you do is remove, stick and peel off the adhesive part and you are ready to go!

 

My project today was creating using the Confetti Celebration stamp set. I actually ordered this set during pre-order and I can tell you it's my go to stamp for creating when celebrating birthdays.

 

 

As you can see I'm loving the colour combination of Flirty Flamingo, Sahara Sand and Whisper White. This time I added a little bit of Silver accent to the card as I thought it would be the perfect fit for my metallic sequins.

Sahara Sand

Whisper White

 

I also added the scraps punched out from my Sprinkles punch to my shaker card. We found when creating the card, the more sequins and scraps punch out you had the better, it helped from the sequins getting stuck to the foam when you shook it.

Jar of Love "For you" card

Happy Monday!!

Last week was our Simply Occasion class and this is one of the cards that I prepared for everyone. My goal for classes is to showcase some new product mixed with some old product. That way we don't forget about our favourites that carried over into the new catalogue!! This card has a little bit of both on it! The new product is the Burlap Ribbon and the Jar of Love bundle. The old is the Large Polka Dot Textured Impression Folder.

One bundle that I knew that I wanted to showcase was the Jar of Love bundle that features the Jar of Love stamp set and coordinating Everyday Jar framelits dies.

Jar of Love Bundle #142342 $69.25

I wanted to keep this card simple and quick so I only added one jar filled with flowers. I used the new burlap ribbon along with my favourite colour combination of Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz and Sahara Sand.

Sahara Sand

Whisper White

There is so much that you can do with this bundle? Have you checked out pinterest for idea's? I have seen jar's with fruit, fishes, flowers, sand, bugs and so much more!! I think this is one bundle that you can use for any occasion which makes it a great set to have in your collection!!

Pineapple Thank You Card!!

Happy Saturday!!

Did you know that Pineapples are hot and trendy right now? I had no idea till I saw tons of window displays with pineapples and flamingo while we were walking the streets of Cannes in France!!

Plus there was tons of swaps cards on display in the hospitality room on the Incentive trip that used the Pop of Paradise stamp set and the Pineapple stamp set. So of course, when I got home, I had to order the new single Pineapple stamp in the Annual Catalogue.

When I was designing my classes for July, I knew that I wanted to showcase this stamp set as one of my cards. I decided it would make a fun "Thank you" card.

 

I thought the leaves of my pineapple needed some dimension. So I stamped an extra set of leaves in Emerald Envy ( I love this new colour!!) and fussy cut them out with my paper snips. Once I had the leaves the way that I like them, I add a few dimensionals and pop them up onto my leaves.

My greeting came together fairly quickly as I used the Thoughtful Banner stamp set and matching Duet Banner punch. I stamp the banner image in Early Espresso onto a piece of Crushed Curry card stock and then stamp the greeting with Early Espresso ink. Once I was done, I used the new Duet Banner to punch it out and then add it to the card with some dimensionals.

I think this would make a great thank you card to give to a family or friend as your way of saying thank you for a great summer event!!

The colour combination that I used was Early Espresso, Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. I love the richness of this colour combo!!

Foxy Friends Birthday Card

Happy Monday!!

I hope you are having a great day!! Thank you so much for all the sweet comments on my Pop of Paradise Level Card and if you are visiting for the first time to my blog, welcome!! I had so much fun and can't wait for next month's blog hop..it's going to be a really cool fancy fold!! The neat thing about participating in a blog hop, it's makes you think outside the box and pushes you out of your creative zone!!

My project today is a quick and simply card that you can mass produce for birthday or thank you cards. You could easily switch out the greeting for any occasions. I saw this simple design on Mary Fish's blog and knew that I had to recreate it. Now I did switch up the greeting as I wanted to make a birthday card!!

My greeting is from the new Designer Tin of Cards stamp set. I love the fonts in this set and can see it being used for so many different projects!!

Swirly Bird Retirement Card

Hello,

Welcome back and I hope you are having a great day so far! It's going to be a hot and humid one here so I think it will be a great day to stay inside and spent sometime in my studio stamping!!

My project today is a card that I made for the Social Committee at work. Our principal retired at the end of June and we wanted him to know that we wish him all the best in his new adventure. My principal loves to spent time at his cottage, so I thought the Swirly Bird stamp set would be the perfect fit for his card!!

My inspiration for my card came from a design that I saw on my friend Lyssa's blog!! I love the layout and colours of the card and knew it would be perfect for the occasion. The greeting I used was from the Wild about Flowers stamp set.

The colours that I used on this card:

 

Dapper Denim

Mint Macaron

Watermelon Wonder

Whisper White

Emerald Envy

This colour combinations screams "Summer Fun!!" and I can't wait to use it again on another project!!

Happy Birthday Emily!!

Happy Monday!!

It's a special day around here as we celebrate a milestone birthday in our house!! I can't believe that Emily is 18 today!She is a young adult now and we are so proud of her and all her accomlishments!! It just felt like yesterday we were waiting for that big day!!. She was actually 2 weeks early and I still remember holding her for the first time..it was a moment I won't forget!!

I had to make her a special birthday card to celebrate the Occasion!! I used the new Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper as my focus point and drew by colours for the card from there!!

One must have stamp set and framelits in your collection is the Number of Years stamp set and matching Large Numbers Framelits!! Using these two products, my card came together very quickly!!

My colour combination is

 

Emerald Envy

Melon Mambo

Crushed Curry

Whisper White

As I was telling you I pulled this colour combination right from the designer series paper pack. Did you know that Stampin' Up! listed the colours in the paper on the back, so you know what colours are in the paper pack! It's a handy little resource!!
