I was looking through some of my cards that I had previously made before I started doing my blog to get ideas on what to share with you on my Facebook live on Monday.  I came across a card that I actually had made recently, but for some reason never did a blog post about it.  The technique I used is called Floating Frame.  

These are the first two cards that I made with the technique.  I really like how they came out.  

On Monday night on my Facebook live how showed how to make cards using the Floating Frame technique.  I made them as a fall card this time and love how they turned out.  

The internet cut me off during my live, so it is in two videos.  The second one is not very long.  

Part 1

Part 2

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Early Espresso

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White

• cut 3 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 2" x 3"

Scraps of the following to make the leaves:

• Cajun Craze
• Crushed Curry
• Merlot
• Mossy Meadow

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Early Espresso

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Crushed Curry

• cut at 1" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside of card
• cut at 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"

On this card, I added Wink of Stella to the leaves to give it a little bit of sparkle.

I used Stampin Blends to color the pumpkins and used the Gathered Leaves dies to cut them out.  The Floating Frame technique is so fun to make! I am sure I will be making more of these. 

Come back on Friday and I will be sharing with you a Fall/Halloween project.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  

Happy Stampin and

I needed a fast, easy and simple card for a friend and this one was perfect.  I saw this card online and knew I wanted to make this card because I loved the way she did the flower.  I will tell you more about that later in this post.

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4'

Whisper White

• cut at 3" x 3"

Woven Threads Designer Series Paper

• Cut at 2" x 5 1/2
• Scrap for flower

To make the flower you first punch out one flower from the 3" x 3" Whisper White piece of card stock, keep the piece you just punched out.  You will then punch another flower from the scrap of designer series paper. 

Stamp your sentiment from the Daisy Delight stamp set using the Rococo Rose ink.  Attach the long piece of designer series paper directly onto the Whisper White card base.  You will then adhere the 3" x 3" piece of Whisper White to the front of the card (after you punch out the flower).  

Take the designer series paper flower that you already punched out and you are going to line it up in the same spot that you punched out the Whisper White flower.  Adhere it using  a Stampin Dimensionals.   Add the Whisper White flower with snail on top of the first flower.

On the inside of the card I stamped Thank you and the daisy flower and on the envelope I stamped the flower on the bottom left hand corner both using the Rococo Rose ink.

Wasn't that an easy card to make?  Anyone who be happy to get this card from you.

I will be sharing with you how to make a fall card using the Floating Frame technique.  I hope you can join me on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page tonight at 7:00pm EST.  

Thank you for stopping by on this Monday morning!  I really appreciate it!  Have a fantastic day and week!

Happy Stampin and

I have been wanting to make a project with the saying "happy fall y'all", especially with Emily living in Texas.  I finally did it!  I really like how it turned out.  

I got my inspiration from the holiday catalog on page 46 the Come To Gather Suite.  Here is a picture of the project

I used the Gather Together Bundle, which is the Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves dies.  When it is bundled, you can save 10% when you use the bundle item number.  I also used the Come To Gather designer series paper and Come to Gather Ribbon combo pack.  The only thing I didn't use in this suite was the Tags and Feathers Elements (I couldn't find them LOL).My craft room is a little, no a lot, crowded with everything Robin and I are working on for my Holiday Extravaganza.  

This time I colored my pumpkins using the Watercolor Pencils.  I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp them and then colored with the Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie pencils.  I used a Blender Pen to finish the pumpkins and then cut them out the with Gathered Leaves dies.  

I love the dies in this set as they emboss and cut at the same time.  I used only the dies, no stamping on the leaves in the above picture.  I used Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz cardstock and Copper Foil Sheets.  

I used the Hand Lettered Prose dies in the annual catalog for the saying.  The frame is from Michael's, and was left over from when I did the "Home" sign project.  Miss the project?  Click Home Sweet "O" Sign  to see the project. It is Friday!!! 

This is the first Friday in a very long time that I don't have a class or other commitments.  I don't know what I am going to do.  Yes, I do!  I am going to spend time with Mr. Wonderful and Erica.  I hope all of you have a terrific weekend and get time to spend with your loved ones.

Happy Stampin and

Have you ever looked at a card and fell in love with it immediately?  I saw this card online and fell in love immediately.  I don't remember who created it, but if it is yours or you know who did,  please let me know so I can give her/him credit.  I love to color so this was right up my alley.  The Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Magnolia Memory dies are perfect for coloring.  You know what else is awesome? You can get the stamp set and dies as a bundle and safe 10%!  I love when Stampin' Up! offers bundles.

For the pink card, I used the Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow - both dark and light - Stampin Blends.  I love these markers, they are perfect for coloring different layers of color on your projects.  

For the blue card, I used the Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow - both dark and light - Stampin Blends.

What is really nice is I used one sheet of paper.   This one of the simple stamping cards, which is ink, paper and stamps.  You will need 

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

I stamped the flowers and the sentiment with Memento Ink and then used the Stampin Blends for all the coloring.  

I like to start with the darkest color first and go to the lightest color when I color in an images.  If you look closely you can see where I left a couple of spots white.  I wanted it to look as realistic as possible.  When you look at a flower the next time, see if you see some white spots?  Especially if the sun is shinning on it.  

To get part of the flower to stick up like in the picture above, it is actually quite easy. 

• stamp your image with Memento ink
• using the die in Magnolia Memory dies line up the flower
• put the Big Shot plate edge where you want it to stop cutting (I did it at the score line)
• put through the Big Shot - make sure you are cutting the side you want up to stand up
• once you reach the score line, stop and crank the Big Shot handle the other direction
• you don't want to cut it all the way through

You may have to trim it a little with your Paper Snips if you don't get it all the way to the score line.  When you fold your card on the score line, that part will stay up.  

Now is when you want to color it.  You don't want to color the whole thing, then go to cut it, make a mistake and ruin the whole card.  Ask me how I know not to do this.  LOL

To finish off the cards, I added Wink of Stella to the flowers and stems.  I love to color, so this card was especially fun for me to make.  We also made this card in my advanced card class, not because of difficulty, due to the amount of time it took to color everything.  The ladies loved it!

I will be showing you how to make my project from my first Fall Friday of 2019.  It is the post right below this one.  I will be also sharing you a Christmas version of the same project.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a fantastic week!

Welcome to my Fall Friday series!  Every Friday from now until October 25th I will be featuring a Fall/Halloween project.  You all know I love Fall, so of course, I love this series.  Today, I have a cute treat holder for Hershey miniature candy bars.  

I used the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder punch from the 2019 Stampin' Up! holiday catalog.   I love punches, so when I saw this bundle in the catalog, it went on top of my list.  When you order a bundle you get 10% off  of the stamp set and punch (you need to use the bundle item number when you order to get this discount).  I just looked and there are 6 big punches and 4 little punches in the holiday catalog.  Yay!!!  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Early Espresso

• cut at 4" x 4"
• score one side at 1 1/2" and 2 1/2"
• score other side at 1 1/8" and 2 7/8"

Whisper White

• cut at 3 1/4" x  6 1/2" 

Here is a video from my Facebook live showing you how to make it.  I also shared with you a Christmas version of it that is even easier to make.

I stamped the pumpkin using Cajun Craze, the stem with Early Espresso and leaf with Old Olive inks.  I then colored the pumpkin with the Old Olive - Light, Pumpkin Pie - Dark and Light and Soft Suede Dark Stampin Blends.

You can put 5 Hershey miniatures if you stand them up, or if you lay them down, you can put 4 in the holder.  

It's the weekend!  Do you have any plans for the weekend?  It is suppose to be a great day tomorrow, which will be great, since  Erica, Mark and I are going to be walking in a 5K tomorrow morning.  Have a fantastic day and weekend!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Labor Day!  As I was typing up this blog post, I was wondering who came up with the idea for Labor Day.  So, off to Google I go!  This what I found out.

                            Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with                                                                 the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day.                                                             He proposed his idea to New York's Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the                                                                 holiday was a good idea, too.

Did you know Peter J. McGuire started it?  I had no idea!  

Erica and I will be traveling back from our fun weekend in Texas.  I will be back next week on September 9th at 7:00pm.  

Have a great day!

Happy Stampin and

Time to get back to basics!  I only used one sheet of Whisper White Thick cardstock and ink on this card.  How cool is that!  I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  

I used Mossy Meadow ink for the sentiment and the leaves were stamped with Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry inks.  

I stamped the inside of my card on the bottom edge and on the flap of my envelope with the two leaves.  

You can change the sentiment and have a card in less than 5 minutes for any occasion.  You have to love that!  #simplestamping

I am so excited about tomorrow!  Erica and I are flying down to see Emily in Texas so we can go wedding dress shopping.  I think I am going to be feeling a lot of different emotions.  I am so happy for her, but also, can't believe my baby is old enough to be getting married.  How can that be?  I am only 29 years old!  LOL

If you think about it, we would love prayers for safe travel for this weekend for us and everyone else who is traveling.  I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and a wonderful Labor Day!

On Friday night I had my first Bunco Night and will be having another again.  It was so much fun!  We made 4 different cards and played 3 rounds of Bunco.   The cards were simple because we wanted to have time to play Bunco too. 

I used  the Bloom & Grow stamp set from the annual catalog, along with the Swirls and Curls embossing folder and Black Satin Ribbon.  

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Purple Posy

• cut at 4" x 4 1/4"

I wrapped the Black Satin ribbon around the Purple Posy cardstock and then popped it up with Stampin Dimensionals.  I did use a retired punch for the flower and center of it.  I put Wink of Stella on the center of the flower.   This is a fun and easy card to make and it turns out beautiful.

Here are some pictures from the fun evening.

Last week I shared with you one of the cards we had made in my monthly card class using the To A Wild Rose stamp set.  If you missed it, you can click on  To A Wild Rose, to see it.  It is one of my favorite cards I had made in a long time.  This card I had seen online and love it.  I don't know who designed it, but I am glad they shared it with everyone.  

I stamped the rose on Very Vanilla cardstock using Terracotta Tile ink and Old Olive ink to stamp the leaves.   I used the Wild Rose dies to both of them out.  The rose is popped with Stampin Dimensionals, but everything else is adhered using Snail adhesive.  The sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set.  I used the same colors as the rose, Terracotta Tile ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.  

The Mosaic Mood designer series paper is so pretty.  It is hard to see on this picture, but there are some shiny accents.   

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Mint Macaron

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Very Vanilla

• cut at 5/8" x 3 1/2"
• cut at 3" x 7" for the rose and leaves
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for the inside of the card

Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I will be sharing with you the August Paper Pumpkin kit.  This kit is so cute for the fall season.  See you then!  Here is the link to my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page.  

It's Monday!!!  What exciting things do you have planned for this week?  Robin and I are busy working on projects for my Holiday Extravaganza retreat!  On Saturday, Erica and I will be flying to Texas to see Emily and go wedding dress shopping.  It is going to be so much fun.  I have to make sure I am wearing waterproof mascara.  I will definitely cry.

Have a fantastic Monday!
