Cheer All Year for What Will You Stamp?

Hello again.  It's Week 31 for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  The challenge stamp this week is Cheer All Year and I've personally been on a "Cheer All Year" journey because I love being on this Design Team with these talented women. .

I made a Halloween card for you today and hope you enjoy it.  

 

Did you notice that I curved the sentiment on my card?  Photopolymer stamps make it so easy to do this.  Just curve the stamp as you are attaching it to the acrylic block and stamp as usual.  I love being able to do this!!! 

Cheer All Year is the perfect stamp set to get you thru the entire holiday season.

Check out all these cute images!!!

I wonder what the Design Team has ready to share with us this week.  Let's head on over to the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and check it out.

• Cheer All Year Photopolymer Stamp Set [139839]

Lighthearted Leaves for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome back to my blog and Week 30 of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge. 

The temperatures here in Jacksonville have dropped from the mid 90's into the high 80's so that must mean that fall is almost here.  LOL  Our challenge this week was to use the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set and I chose to make my card with fall colors.  Of course I won't be seeing the leaves actually change colors here.  In my memories of home in Pennsylvania is the only place I can see those turning leaves and hear the crunch when walking thru the fallen leaves. 

I sponged three squares with Crushed Curry ink, stamped the leaf with Black Memento and colored them with Stampin' Write Markers in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry.  I cut 1/4" strips of coordinating cardstock and another strip of Gold Foil, glued the strips onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and then ran that thru the Big Shot using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.  The final touch was to add a tiny bow using the Gold Cording Trim.  Hope you like my creation this week.

Lighthearted Leaves has some amazing leaf images and sentiments.  You can make some beautiful projects when you pair these leaves up with the Leaflets Framelits. 

Our Design Team at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog is amazingly talented so make sure to check back there to see what they designed this week.

If you would like to recreate my project, these are the products I used: 

• Lighthearted Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set [139712]
• Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pad [131173]
• Old Olive 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [100702]
• Pumpkin Pie 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [105117]
• Rich Razzleberry 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [115316]

Traveler for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome to my blog and Week 29 of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  In case you don't know exactly what this challenge blog is all about I'll share a little explanation with you. 

What Will You Stamp? is a blog that has a Design Team (of which I am a member) and each week we are challenged to use a particular stamp set from a current Stampin' Up! catalog and create a project with it.  If you're like me you probably have stamp sets that you haven't used in a very long time or stamp sets that you purchased and don't have a clue what to do with.  If that's the case, then this challenge blog is for you.  You can check in with us every Monday morning and see several different ideas using that week's stamp set.  If you have the challenge stamp set we would love to have you play along with us.  Just create your own project and post it to the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and then we choose a winner from the projects submitted and invite that person to become a Guest Designer for a future challenge.  How fun!!!!

Our challenge this week was to use Traveler from the 2015 Annual Catalog.  I think Traveler is a "must have" for making masculine cards, but I wanted to do something a little different today.  My "go to" color combo for this set is usually Basic Black and Very Vanilla but I used Mossy Meadow instead.  I know it's not much of a change, but I love how it turned out.

 Check out all the great images included in Traveler.

I know the rest of the Design Team is going to have some great projects to share with you so don't forget to go back and check it all out at What Will You Stamp?

 

If you would like to recreate my projects, I used the following products: 

• Traveler Clear-Mount Stamp Set [134513]

You Little Furball for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome to another Monday morning and another week of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  You Little Furball is the Stampin' Up! set we were to use and since I don't own it I had to get together with a fellow Design Team member in order to create my furry little creature card.  Gotta say I really love how it turned out. 



I love paper piecing but it has been such a very long time since I have done anything using this technique.  This little kitty just seemed to demand a paper pieced scene so how could I refuse. 

Lots of cute furballs and sentiments to choose from in this set.

Happy Scenes for the JAX Starz Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the JAX Starz Blog Hop.  This month our challenge was simply to create a card with a fall theme.  You might just be starting the blog hop here or you may have come from Rose Ann Marr's blog, but however you got here make sure to check out the blog hop lineup below to see all of the projects created for you.

I used Happy Scenes from the 2015 Holiday Catalog as the focal point for my card.  I love all the vignettes that come in this stamp set but since our theme was fall I had to use the almost bare tree with the trio of pumpkins.

My image piece was stamped in black Stazon on watercolor paper and then colored with an Aqua Painter and several different colors which are detailed in the Product List below.  Isn't that Woodland embossing folder the best?!!!  How could I not use it on my card?!!!

 

I hope you'll continue on with the blog hop...following is the lineup for you to follow along.

Zoo Babies is the perfect stamp set to create those welcome baby cards we all need.  I paired the cute little elephant with some Bohemian Designer Series Paper and Rich Razzleberry Into The Woods 3/8" Cotton Ribbon from the 2015 Holiday Catalog to make my baby card pop with unexpected colors..

Hot Diggity Dog for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome to Week 26 of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge using Hot Diggity Dog.  I chose to do a birthday card today because a friend, who just happens to be a dog lover, has a birthday coming up soon.  The Scottie dog is my favorite and I paired him up with one of the papers from the Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper pack.  The pattern on the paper is what dictated how I created the card.  I used triangular elements to give cohesiveness to the design.  I think my little Scottie is so cute and hope you do too.

Hot Diggity Dog is the cutest stamp set and it's ideal for every dog lover in your life because there are so many different sentiments you can use to create the perfect card.  Hot Diggity Dog even contains a sympathy sentiment for that card you need to send, even though you really wished you didn't have to make it.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the Design Team has waiting over at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog.  See you there!!!!

 

I used the following products on my card today: 

• Hot Diggity Dog Clear-Mount Stamp Set [134024]
