Stamping With Kristen

Seaside Bay Thank you

I have been having so much fun creating cards for my Stamps In the Mail using Seaside Bay bundle. For this card I used Seashells 3d Embossing Folder.I used Early Espresso, Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink.

I made a video showing this card and how to give a punch a border. 

 

You can see another time I split the punch here: https://www.stampingwithkristen.com/2022/01/index.html

Here is what I used to create this card.

Party Wishes Birthday Cake

I designed this card this past week for Stamps In The Mail.  I really been having fun working with Party Wishes stamp set.

 

Since people are getting the stamp set and punch for the first month of Stamps In The Mail, I wanted to make sure I used the punches on at least 2 cards.  On the first card I showed you a few days ago, I used the cupcake punch so this time I chose the balloon.  I love how they made the stamps just a smidgen bigger than the punch so that you see a stamped image on all of the punched piece.  Sometimes there is a little white border when you punch out an image.

Party Wishes Wedding Card

I wanted to create a card for my next Stamps In The Mail that could be used for a wedding or shower to show that Party Wishes is not just for birthdays.  I was trying to think of a designer series paper that I could use with it, and then remembered Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper is now available!  You can get a pack of 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs FREE with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. (Now-March 31)

 

I stamped the cake using Lost Lagoon on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then used my 2 1/2" punch on it.  I wanted a slightly larger circle to border it, and so I used our Circle Collection Framelit dies to punch out the Blackberry Bliss card stock.

Party Wishes Cupcake Card

I have been busy designing cards for Stamps In The Mail round #30.  How can it already be the 30th one?  I chose to use Party Wishes this time because I think it is a fun set and I like all of the accessories that go with it.  

 Stampin Up made punches to coordinate with the little balloon, cupcake and candle.  This time they made the stamp a little bigger than the punch so when you punch it the image fills up the entire punch.  For this first card, I chose to focus on the punches and have the color from from behind.

 

I love the greeting! "A party without cake is just a meeting"  

 

Tip:

I first punched out the cupcake on a white scrap, and then I punched it with the 1" square punch.  It is easier to center it that way.  The colored pieced behind it is 1 1/4".

Natural Elements Thanks

I have had a pack of Expressions Natural Elements for awhile, and I finally opened it recently and made this card.  They are wood veneer words that come in a pack of 15.  You get 5 each of: Congrats, Celebrate and Thanks.  They are a fun embellishment to add to a card.  You can adhere them with our Fine Tip Glue Pen, Snail Adhesive, Liquid Glue...

I had this be one of the Stamps In The Mail cards using Lighthearted Leaves. I wanted to make a card that wasn't necessarily for fall.

Masculine Birthday card

I designed this card for Stamps In the Mail this month.  I wanted to make a card that was more masculine.  I started by stamping a leaf using Mossy Meadow on the top center.  Without re-inking my stamp I stamped the same image up-side-down over lapping the first image a little.  I then re-inked the stamp and stamped again.  Repeat on both sides.  

 

I just love the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder.  I embossed a strip of Mossy Meadow card stock and then adhered that to the bottom of the card.  I cut a piece of Mellow Moss 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon a little wider than the card.  I adhered it where the Mossy Meadow piece met the Very Vanilla.  I wrapped the extra bit of ribbon around and taped it. You could use Snail or glue dots to get the ribbon to stay behind the piece.

 

Below is what I used to make the card:

Lost Lagoon Leaves

I have seen many samples using the Chalk Marker or White Gel Pen with the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.  I was inspired by a card by Linda Higgins and changed a few things to make the card below.

 

 Do you ever look at a card after you have made it and just love it?  That is how I was with this card.  The white really pops on the leaves on the Lost Lagoon Card stock.  If you use the Chalk Marker you will get a slightly lighter white.

The Silver Cording Trim is in our Holiday Catalog.  It also comes in gold.  If you do not have a Holiday Catalog yet, let me know and I will mail you one.

Thanksgiving Card

I have been working on cards using Lighthearted leaves for my next Stamps In The Mail.  I wanted to have a Thanksgiving card for this first month.  This card layout is an oldie but goodie.  I have used it for just about every occasion.  Brian King made a similar card using Vintage Leaves stamp set.  Both sets coordinate with Leaflets Framelits.  

 

The card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"

Vanilla Layer is 4" X 5 1/4" (I cut 2 of these and stamped a leaf on the second one and put it on the inside of the card.  It is much easier to write on vanilla than Always Artichoke)

Always Artichoke 4 1/4" X 3"

Vanilla center piece  4" X 2 3/4"
