The Silver Stamper

. Hiya, Stampers! Haven't posted in ages, and here I am doing several posts in one day.  Well, one of the reasons is that it is an absolutely gorgeous September day here and I have the laptop out on the screened porch!  Another is that I wanted to get caught up with my blog because I want to start looking online for inspiration and play around with some Christmas card ideas. Yes, another Plaid Tidings* card!  This particular plaid is my favorite.  I think because it contains several colors:  Black, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Bumblebee. We embossed the Bumblebee CS withSupplies below. the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder, lined up and adhered a 3" square of Rich Razzleberry CS cut with the largest scalloped square die, and cut through both layers with the largest leaf from the Stitched Leaves dies.  A 3" square of plaid DSP was added behind these layers with Dimensionals before layering onto the card base.  We die cut leaves in Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Gold F

  Hey, Stampers! These two September stamp camp cards are a combination of two ideas from the blogs of Connie Babbert (Inkspired Treasures) and LeeAnn Greff (Flowerbug's Inkspot).   The Plaid Tidings* pieces shown here did not originally contain the blue line. Connie shared that she simply took a ruler and the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blends and drew her own accent color!  I would never have thought of that. The angled DSP was shared by LeeAnn and is a great way to decorate 4 cards with one sheet of 6x6 DSP.  She shared a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0WfVafXZ8&t=537s    For the mat layer, I cut a piece of colored CS 6-1/4 x 6-1/4 and marked each edge at 1-5/8 instead of what LeeAnn tried, although you will still have to do a little trimming on on or two sides. This will mean more to you once you check out LeeAnn's video. The leaves on the daisy card were cut with the Poppy Moments Dies. Supplies, colors, etc. are below. *15% off DSP Sale Octob

  Hello, Stampers!     Just love this cute set, Way to Goat.  We all need a little humor right now.  Minimal coloring on this one, just a few Stampin' Blends or Markers, the Layering Circles Dies and DSP, Artistry Blooms.  The 4 x 5-1/4 mat is Granny Apple Green and the circle mats are Coastal Cabana.  Some ribbon or twine (we https://sueduffy.stampinup.net used a retired thick baker's twine) and a little bling - that's it!  Products below.

  Hey, Stampers!     These peek-a-boo sliders are so fun and really easy - just scoring and adhesive in the right spots to get the slider.  Notice that what is inside the window on the inside of the card is different than what you would expect looking at the outside!  ;-)  Leave a Comment or email me and I can email printable instructions to you.  You can also watch an excellent tutorial on Jennifer McGuire's YouTube channel under the heading "Peek-a-Boo Cards," where she also provides a few helpful tips to keep your card "moving."

  Hi, Stampers!     The Whiskey Business set is fun to play with and has such fun sentiments.  My photo, unfortunately, doesn't show the Cinnamon Cider background as rich as this color really is.  Here are the details.     The card base is Very Vanilla Thick CS, with a Cinnamon Cider 5-1/4 x 4 layer embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder.  The brick-look overlay is a 3 x 3-3/4 piece from the In Good Taste DSP. The decanter is stamped on a 3" Shimmery White die-cut circle and the glass was fussy-cut.  The whiskey was colored with a combination of Stampin' Blends and marker, and the top was colored with Copper Delicata inkusing a Blender Pen.  The sentiment is stamped on a 3/4" scrap of the DSP and the ends punched with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.
