Letters for You Birthday Style

by // // 1 Comment

I was browsing the internet and came across a stamp image from another company that had the letters ‘hb2u” and I thought “I can do that with product I already have!” and thus a card was born…don’t you love when you can make something fun with something you ALREADY own?!?

The products in Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog are now available for purchase! I have a rather largish order arriving on Monday…can’t wait!

Today’s card features some products from the amazing Birthday Delivery Photopolymer Bundle. Besides stamps and dies (as if that wasn’t awesome enough), this bundle comes with pretty paper!

It is an amazing set of papers in an amazing suite of products that I know you will get tons of use from. The colors in this particular pattern are (from left to right) Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist, Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Real Red. Which gives use LOTS of options!! I chose to highlight Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Rich Razzleberry, stamping each ink onto it’s matching card stock and die cutting with the coordinating Large Letter Framelits Dies.

Everything has been framed in Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point and mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto a layer of Crumb Cake card stock. The Crumb Cake card stock has been embossed with one of my favorite, but sadly now retired, embossing folders so I thought I would give it one last run through the Big Shot while I wait for the the NEW Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder to arrive 🙂

The adorable birthday hat was die cut from one of the patterns in the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper with its’ coordinating die in the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies. So quick and easy!!

  • The sentiment from the new Balloon Adventures Stamp Set is so cheerful in a fresh fun font and pairs beautifully with this balloon die from the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and can be purchased as a bundle for a savings of 15%! Awesome!
  • I die cut the balloon from both Emerald Envy and Pacific Point and used the Fin Tip Glue Pen to adhere the pieces to my card front.
  • Yes, the Envelope Liner Die is retired but I just cannot resist showing off more of the pretty papers in this DSP!
  • The Fine Tip Glue Pen makes adhering a bit of Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine a snap!

  • I used other sentiments from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set to decorate the inside of the card as well!
  • I couldn’t stop stamping so I added some fun confetti and a balloon to the outside of the envelope…I just love Pacific Point and Emerald Envy together!

I looked to my favorite challenge blog for layout inspiration for today’s card:

Thank you to all these wonderful ladies for providing inspiration each and every week!

So what do you think? It’s pretty simple, I know, but not having put ink to paper in almost three months, I have to start somewhere!

Thank you so much for your continued message of courage and inspiration while I have been away, I have read and deeply appreciated each and every one. The world is still a very scary place for me, but little by little, I feel the fog lifting and look forward to each new day.

Stampin Up Scenic Sayings Stamp Set Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

Hello to you and an exciting long holiday weekend here in the States! The very talented Brian King has created a fun color challenge this week for the Pals Paper Arts challenge so I thought I would play along! The color challenge can be patriotic, or not, depending on your whim and I appreciate that.

PPA-307-June30

I went a bit wild experimenting with the Layering Squares Framelits Dies. My final decision is that they are perfectly sized to nest and offer SO many creative options!

Creative Tips:

  • Don’t be afraid to keep building up layers with the Layering Squares Framelits Dies…the more the merrier!
  • The new Festive Embossing Folder adds a fun element of texture and really, any embossing folder would work well here

  • I stamped this bold sentiment twice. Once in Night of Navy and then again in Real Red. I snipped just the banner out and then layered it on top of the Night of Navy image with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add a bit of depth.
  • The 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon is a dream to work with, so soft and SHINY 🙂

Here’s a quick peek at some of the products I used to make today’s project:

Bitty Bouquets – Warm Welcome Fusion Card Challenge

by // // 21 Comments

Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge! This challenge is a fun one and leaves a ton of room for interpretation…

FusionSketch-11_12_15I was pretty liberal with my interpretation this week:

Bitty Bouquets - Warm Welcome Fusion Card ChallengeThe sketch made me immediately think of this die set by MFT Stamps. Then I saw these beautiful papers and I was off to the races…

Bitty Bouquets - Warm Welcome Fusion Card ChallengeI have been a bit intimidated by the Bitty Bouquets stamp and die set by PTI…I shouldn’t have been, they came together in a snap! And the different sets of bouquets are so beautiful, this set is sure to become a go-to set! A simple sentiment by Wplus9 rounds the card off so prettily. I stamped the sentiment first in Soft Suede ink but it didn’t stand out well enough against the pattern paper so I switched it up to Early Expresso. Thank goodness for the MISTI, which made it so simple to re-stamp in the darker ink, no harm, no foul!

Bitty Bouquets - Warm Welcome Fusion Card ChallengeI used another of the patterns to add a bit of interest to the inside of the card, along with another pretty bouquet, stamped off once.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I love to hear your thoughts!
