I am so excited about the new products in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday catalog!  I knew right away the Snowman Season stamp set would be at the top of my list.  If you don't already know, I LOVE SNOWMEN!!!  They make me happy!  I put them out with my Christmas decorations and keep all of my snowmen up until February 1st.  Here in Ohio it is still winter and we definitely still get snow.  

I had mentioned on Monday on my Facebook live that I would be participating in a blog hop today.  Due to technical issues, I wasn't able to participate.  Hopefully next time it will work out.  The above card is the one that I made for the blog hop.  While I was making this card I figured out a great tip using the Snowman Builder punch and the Let It Snow specialty designer series paper.   I couldn't wait to share with you!  

The snowman is so cute, I had to use him on my card today.  Also, from the same paper pack I used the strips and mittens designs.  They are actually on the same piece of paper, one design on the front and the other design on the back.  This card was easy to make because I could punch out the snowman and the hat from the paper.  I also punched out the arms from Early Espresso cardstock. 

The snowflakes were made from a die from the Frosted Frames Dies.  I then made them sparkle with Wink of Stella.  Who doesn't like sparkle!  

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.

I have to be honest with all of you.  When I first saw the To A Wild Rose stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 annual catalog I didn't like it.  I kept looking at it and still didn't like it.  Then my best friend/assistant, Robin, asked me to teach a class using this stamp set.  I thought to myself, how am I going to do that when I don't even like the stamp set?

I started playing with it, and playing with it, and playing with it and then finally, I started to like it.  Now, I love it!  I am not sure what my problem was with this set.  Do you ever look at stamp sets and think, nope don't like it?  Then you see a card made with it, or you see and person and then say "I have to have it!" 

The above card is one of the cards we made at the class.  Lately, I have been drawn to the color purple.  I have always liked it, but lately it is everywhere I look.  I must just be noticing it more now.  On this card I used the Highland Heather and Smoky Slate inks.  I haven't used this color combination before, but I like it, a lot.

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:

Smoky Slate

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

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" for the flower
• cut at 3" x 5" for the leaves

2019-2021 In Color Designer Series Paper

• cut at 1 1/2" 5 1/2"

The flower in this set is a 2 step stamp.  What that means is, you will stamp the outline first using one stamp, and then the inside, using another stamp.  You can do the inside first and then the outline, it is all up to you.  I used the Highland Heather ink for both layers. 

For the leaves, I used Smoky Slate ink, but I stamped the outline full strength and then stamped off the ink for the inside.  When I use the term stamped off, it means I inked up my stamp and then stamped it on a scrap piece of paper.  Then I stamped it on my project.  Doing this technique gives you a lighter image.  

I cut out the flower and leaves by using the coordinating Wild Rose dies.  Right now, if you buy both the stamp set and dies, you can save 10% by using the bundle item number.  I used Stampin Dimensionals to pop the flower and Snail adhesive for the leaves and designer series paper.  The sentiment came from the Stitched All Around stamp set and was stamped using the Highland Heather ink.  To finish off the card, I added 3 purple sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequin embellishments.  

When you saw this stamp set, was it love at first sight, like it, it was ok, or didn't like it?  Now that you have seen projects with it, has your opinion changed?   Mine sure has!

Tonight I am going to be sharing with you a card we made in class on Friday night using the Healing Hugs stamp set.  I am also going to be showing you the other two cards that we made.  I hope you can join us!  

See you soon!

With school starting, I thought these were the perfect gift to give to your child or to your child's teacher.  I had made one of these years ago, using Rolo candy, but I couldn't find them anywhere.  So, for these, I used Sweettarts.  

On Monday night, I shared on my Facebook Live on how to make them.  I didn't realize how fast they are to make, so it is a very short video.  

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:

Daffodil Delight

• cut 3" x 6 3/4" score at every 1/4"

Blushing Bride

• cut at 1" x 3"
• scrap for a 3/4" circle

Silver Foil Sheet

• cut at 3/8" x 3"

This is a fun project to make and easy if you want to make duplicates.  I made them for Beckett, Brielle and Blysse as they are all beginning school this week.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a great day!

Last Monday on my Facebook Live I shared with you how to make the bag in the above picture.  I had mentioned that I made a card the coordinated with the bag and would share with you how to make it too.  I wanted to share this on Friday, but I needed to get the information about my Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Paper Share.  If you would like information on it click on this link.

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Paper Share

This card is a very easy card to make and you get to have fun coloring with the new Stampin' Blends.  The stamp set, Good Morning Magnolia and dies, Magnolia Memory, are available as a bundle and you save 10%! 

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:

Mossy Meadow

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

Petal Pink

• cut at 1" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

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

Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I used the Petal Pink (both dark and light) and Mossy Meadow (both dark and light) Stampin' Blends to color in the magnolia flowers.  I love that Stampin' Up! has already helped us with where we need to put the darker colors.  When you stamp the image you will see little lines where your color needs to be darker than other areas.  

I colored three flowers and adhered them to the Petal Pink strip.  I stamped Thanks on the right hand side of the strip using Mossy Meadow ink.  I popped up the top flower with a Stampin Dimensional after I colored them and cut them out with the Magnolia Memory dies.  I added the twine from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.   I also stamped the flower image on the inside of my card and on my envelope, both in the lower left hand corner. 

If you missed the post about how to make the coordinating bag and a bag using 2 pieces of 12" x 12" designer series paper, you can check them out at the link below.

My first paper share was such a hit, I am going to do it again for the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  The paper in this catalog is absolutely beautiful.  I loved them when I saw them in the catalog and then when I saw them in person, I loved them even more.  

If you are like me, you want them all, but don't want full packs of each one.  This the perfect solution.  You will get a sample of each of the designs in each of the designers series paper packs, both 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 paper packs.  You will get the following:

This will give you a total of 30 sheets of 6" x 12" and 36 sheets of 6" x 6" for a total of 66 sheets of designer series paper. 

The cost for this share is $31 plus $8 priority mail shipping.  You have the option of picking up your paper share at my home, so you don't have to pay for shipping.

The cost for the additional designer series paper is $12 for a total of $43 plus $8 priority mail shipping for 102 sheets of designer series paper.  You have the option of picking up your paper share at my home, so you don't have to pay for shipping.  Note:  You only have to pay for shipping once since I can get all of these in one envelope.  

TIMELINE OF PAPER SHARE:

• Deadline to RSVP with payment is September 3, 2019.  
• I will place the order on September 4th
• Paper Shares will be ready to pick up or will be mailed mid September.  I will email all of the participants and let you know when they are ready.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT PAPER SHARE - PLEASE READ BEFORE PARTICIPATING:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at stampinscraper13@gmail.com.  

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stampin and 

I love to give gifts especially when I make the gift bags and cards for them to go in.  On Monday night I showed how to make these two bags using designer series paper.  I did not come up with these on my own.  Ronda Wade was so kind to share how she made them on YouTube. 

These gift bags are fast and easy and a great way to use your designer series paper.  Stampin' Up! has some of the most beautiful designer series paper that I have seen.  Are you a designer paper hoarder like me?  I have been trying to use it more and more lately.  

To make this gift bag, you are going to start out with two pieces of any 12" x 12" designer series paper.  On the above bag I used Stampin' Up! Magnolia Lane designer series paper.

The measurements are below:

1st 12" x 12" designer series paper

• score at 3" and 9"
• on other side score at 1" (this will be the top of your bag) and 9" (this will be the bottom of your bag)

2nd 12" x 12" designer series paper

• cut 4" off one of the sides (make sure it is on the side of your bag, not top or bottom)
• on 8" side score at 1" and 7"
• on 12" side score at 1" (top of bag) and 9" (bottom of bag)

To make this gift bag you are going to start with two pieces of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.  On the above bag I used Mossy Meadow with Magnolia Lane designer series paper.  

On both pieces of cardstock:

• on 8" side score at 1 1/2" and 7"
• on 11" side score at 2 3/4" (this will be the bottom)

Designer Series Paper

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

You can use the 4" piece that you cut off to make a card with it.  I will have directions and measurements for the card on Friday along with information about my Holiday catalog paper share.

On Monday night I did my Facebook live on how to make these two gift bags.  Check out the video below.

There are so many possibilities with all the beautiful designer series paper in the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I just got my preorder from the new 2019 holiday catalog and oh my goodness, the designer series paper is so beautiful.  I keep thinking about all the different gift bags I could make with it.  

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have a fantastic Wednesday.

The card I have to share with you today is from when I did my paper share for the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 annual catalog.  I created this card for all the participants as an example on how to use their designer series paper.  I also wanted to thank them for being a part of my first paper share.

The designer series paper is from the beautiful Pressed Petals paper pack.  For the sentiment I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.  Then I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes dies and the mat was cut out using the Layering Oval dies.  

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:

Mossy Meadow

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

RococoRose

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

Very Vanilla

• cut at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside the card

Pressed Petal Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I popped up the sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals.  When you are going over ribbon, put your dimensionals on the top and bottom of your sentiment.  If you put it on the sides, it will stick to the ribbon and move around.  

I am going to be having another paper share for the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  I will do a blog post with all the details soon.  

It's Monday!!!  I am very excited today as my preorder from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog will be here today.  I have ordered a lot!  I mean a lot!  LOL  I love the new catalog and I know you will too.  Robin and I are going to start designing this week for my Holiday Extravaganza in October.  

If you ordered from me in the last 6 months or are attending my Holiday Extravaganza (unless you are a demonstrator) you will be receiving a catalog in the mail from me.  If you won't be receiving a catalog in the mail, but would like one, please let me know and I will get one to you.  You can email me at stampinscraper13@gmail.com.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday and week.

Happy Stampin and

Nobody likes to make sympathy cards.  When you need to make one, you need it right away and  it needs to be special.  I needed to make one for a very special family who has been very influential in my christian walk.  In the beginning, they were right there with me and I can never repay them for that.  

The first thing I thought of using on this card was one of the Bird Ballad Laser Cut cards.  These cards are absolutely beautiful!!!  

I stamped the flowers from Good Morning Magnolia stamp set with Memento ink and colored them with the Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink Blends markers.  I stamped the sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes dies and matted it with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock stock with the Layering Oval dies.  

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:

Petal Pink

• cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Mossy Meadow

•  cut at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Very Vanilla

• cut at 21/4" x 3 1/4"  for the sentiment
• cut at 3" x 8 1/2" for the flowers and leaves

I popped up the sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals and adhered the flowers and leaves with Snail adhesive.  On the inside of the card and on the envelope I stamped another flower.  

The other day I also shared with you another card I made with the Bird Ballad Laser Cut Cards.  If you missed it click Verdant Garden with Bird Ballad Laser Cut Card to check it out.  These card bases are so beautiful.  You can add any color of cardstock to the back of the laser cut out and any embellishment you want.  You don't even have to add any embellishments and it is still a beautiful card.  They also come with matching envelopes in a beautiful tin.  Check out the picture below.  

Last weekend was an exciting weekend for our family.  Our daughter, Emily, got engaged!!!  We are so excited for both her and Jeff.  We are so happy to have Jeff join our family.

I thought I had posted pictures of our new deck, but realized that I never did.  I absolutely love how it turned out. 

The upper deck was there, we had that part redone and then added the lower deck.  I love how we have room now for the grill now and a little picnic table for the kids.  

The kids love to have their lunch and snacks outside.  This table is perfect size for them.  

Thank you to Daly Construction for the wonderful job they did on building this deck for us!  We love it!

It is the weekend!!!!  I hope you have a fantastic one!  

Happy Stampin and
