It has been a while since I had made an eclipse card or used the Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.   I taught my advanced card making class this technique and they loved it.  It isn't a hard technique, it just takes a little more time to make.  It is so worth the time!

I stamped the dragonflies with Memento ink and then colored them with the Dark Pool Party and Dark Night of Navy Blends markers.  The more I use the blends markers the more I like, no, love them!

When the ink was dry on all of the dragonflies I added Wink of Stella to them.  They needed that little bit of bling to really bring them to life.  It is a lot easier to do it now, then later once the letters are cut out.  You need to let them totally dry before you use the Large Letter framelits to cut out your letters.

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:

Balmy Blue

• cut at 5 1/2" x8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"

To make the letters really pop I used our Foam Adhesive Strips.  They are the perfect width for these letters.  

It's Friday!!!  Yay!  My retreat is getting closer to becoming a reality.  I am going to check out a couple more places this weekend.  I am hoping to have the location confirmed by the end of the month.  Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have an awesome Friday and weekend!

There you go!

Erica's boyfriend, Nick, needed some thank you cards and asked me to make some for him.  I saw this card on Pinterest, created by BJ Peters, and thought it would be perfect.  Thank you BJ for sharing your beautiful card.

I have some wonderful news to share with you today!!!

Last weekend I went to the Stampin Sisters Retreat in Rockford IL.  We had such a great time.  I went with two of my good friends, Beth and Mary.  This was Mary's first time and she loved it too!  We are definitely going back again next year.  Actually, I loved it so much that I am going to be having my first retreat in September.  It will be a one day retreat, I want to work up to a weekend retreat, that is going to be packed with fun projects and goodies.  Watch out for more details. 

This is a picture of all of us.  There were 95 of us!

This is a picture of my tablemates, Beth, Mary, myself and Kim.  It was so wonderful meeting Kim and spending time with her.

When Beth and I went last year, Margie and Maxine were our tablemates.  They are so fun and loved seeing them again.  We were lucky to have them sititing at the table next to us.  So, we still got to spend some time with them.

This is a good  picture of Mary and I.  We took so many, because we couldn't stop laughing.  We had the same shirt, this was planned, and the same glasses.  That was not planned!  

I love this picture of us!  We were laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes.  

Here is a picture of Beth and I on the last day.  It was so wonderful spending time with her, she lives almost 10 hours from me.  I am hoping to see her again soon. 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!

I have never  made a Triangle Fun Fold card before.  It was so much fun!  I loved it so much, that I did a Facebook Live on it.  The video is further down this post.  I used the beautiful Floral Romance Specialty designer series paper from the occasions catalog and the Colorful Seasons stamp set from the annual catalog.  I love how you can use products from both catalogs and the coordinate.  

In my video you will see how I changed up the whole card.  I used the new Painted Seasons designer series paper and stamp set from the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration.

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

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"

Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper

I used the coordinating Frosted Flowers Embellishments for the little flower by the sentiment.  

Here is a picture of what the card looks like when it is opened.

How awesome is that?!  The best part is you can get two cards from one sheet of cardstock!  

Thank you for stopping in today!  I hope you have a fantastic Wednesday!  Check back on Friday when I will have all the fun new products that are going to be available on March 1st!

Do you have a lot of scraps laying around your craft room?  I have a great card for you to use some of those small pieces of paper.  It has been pretty gray here in Ohio and I wanted some bright colors to use on my card today.  In the Happiness Blooms designer series paper, there are a lot of cheerful and bright patterns and colors.  I love them!  I saw this card online, created by Bonnie O'Neill, and knew I wanted to make it.  Thank you Bonnie for sharing your wonderful card with everyone!

Two of my favorite colors together are Calypso Coral and Night of Navy.  I could use them on every project, but I think you would get sick of only seeing those colors.  LOL  I even have those colors in my kitchen!  

I used the Incredible Like You stamp set in the occasions catalog for the sentiment and little flowers.  Did you know this stamp set also has a project kit that coordinates?  You can make 16 cards and it comes with a printed polypropylene storage envelope.  Check it out HERE.  This kit is currently on backorder, you can order it, you just won't get it right now.  It is suppose to be in the warehouse on April 1st. 

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:

Night of Navy

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

Calypso Coral

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Call Me Clover 

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Whisper White 

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

Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper

• cut 5 at 1" x 3 3/4"

I glued the 1" strips of designer series paper to the 3 3/4" x 5" whisper white cardstock.   Then I adhered them to the Calypso Coral layer and wrapped the Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon around it.  I then put Stampin Dimensionals between the Calypso Coral and Night of Navy Layer.

 I stamped the sentiment with Night of Navy ink and stamped the flowers with Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink.  The sentiment is popped with Stampin Dimensionals and to finish the card off I added a bow.  For the inside of the card and on the envelope I stamped the stem for the little flowers and three small flowers to the stem (I forgot to take a picture of it).

Anyone you send this card too, will be happy to get it! 

Today is the last day for FREE SHIPPING!!! You don't want to miss it!  Don't forget to use the hostess code if you order online.  If you order online I will send a refund for the shipping as this special is through me and not through Stampin" Soup.  

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

At my stamp camps I feature one stamp set and show how you can use it in three different ways.  Last week I featured the beautiful Dandelion Wishes stamp set.  Along with that stamp set I added the Kindness and Compassion stamp set for the sentiment.  I just love the font in that stamp set.  

I added designer series paper from the Festive Farmhouse designer series paper pack.  I love when we can take products from the holiday catalog and use them with  products from the annual catalog and the coordinate perfectly.  One of the many reasons I love Stampin' Up!  

I popped up the two top layers that have the Metallic Edge Ribbon around them using the Stampin Dimensionals.  For some extra bling I added Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.

I wanted to let you know that I think I have everything figured out with switching over to Mail Chimp.  You should receive a notification today in your email that I posted on my blog.  If you don't receive it, please let me know.  Thank you for your patience as I get all of this figured out.  I have to say, I did this all by myself.  I didn't even ask my husband, who works with computers, for help.  I wanted to prove to myself that I could do this and learn along the way.  I have definitely learned a lot and I have a lot more to learn.  

The last time I had a Memories and More class it was a huge success.  The ladies loved how many cards you can make out of the Memories and More pack.  I am offering this class again using the Delightfully Detailed Memories and More pack.  This pack is so beautiful with so many wonderful sayings and cards.  The main colors we are going to be using are Blackberry Bliss, Black, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. 

In this class you will create 9 cards using the Delightfully Detailed pack, brads and faceted dots.  All of these are included in the class fee along with all the other materials needed to complete the finished cards.  Please bring your adhesives, glue dots, dimensionals and scissors. 

The cost for this class is $30.  If you would like to purchase the coordinating stamp set, Detailed With Love, it is an additional $23.50.  Please RSVP with payment by November 2nd.

You will have plenty of supplies left over to make a lot more cards.  I will have sample up of other projects so you can get ideas on other things you can do with the remaining items in your pack. 

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

Last night I had our team meeting with my Joyful Butterflies, which was a lot of fun!  At our meetings we do a swap (exchange cards with each other) and our theme was grateful.  This is my card that I made using the Painted Harvest stamp set.  It is a fast and easy card that has the feeling of fall and gratitude.  

I used the colors of Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Soft Suede for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves.   The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede  and cut out using the Stitched Shapes framelits.  The mat for the sentiment was made using Old Olive cardstock and Layering Oval Framelits. 

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:

Old Olive

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

Whisper White

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

Today it finally feels like fall.  The temperatures are cool and the leaves are starting to change.  I love it!

It's Friday or should I say Friyay!!!  Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?  I am going to go see Disney on Ice tomorrow.  I heard it is very good, so I can't wait to see it.  We went to get dinner last night before my meeting and there were a lot of little girls all dressed up in their princesses dresses.  They were so cute!  

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

At my Stamp Camps this month I featured the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  I haven't used this stamp set in a very long time and I thought I needed to give it life again.  I wanted to do different cards with different techniques.  I went to Pinterest to see what I could find and this was one of the cards I found.  I can't find it back, so I don't know who originally created this card.  Thank you to the creator for sharing your beautiful card.

To begin making this card, you  are going to stamp your images on the small piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The tree is stamped with Crumb Cake ink and the tree leaves are stamped with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.  When you stamp the leaves, you are going to first stamp with the Pear Pizzazz and then with the Old Olive.  When you stamp with the Old Olive ink you will want to turn the stamp just a little so you are not stamping right on top of the Pear Pizzazz.  You want to be able to see both colors and this will make the tree look fuller too.

The grass and flowers are stamped using the Old Olive and the flower buds are stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink.  I am not sure if you saw the swing or not, but that is stamped in Soft Suede ink.  

You are going to use the Layering Circle Framelits to cut out your circle in the Rich Razzleberry cardstock.  After you have finished cutting, then it is time to emboss the same paper with the Sparkle Embossing Folder.  

To make sure everything is lined up correctly, before you put any adhesive on any of your cardstock you are going to do a trial run.  Lay your stamped white piece of paper on your table and then line up where you want the the Rich Razzleberry piece to go.  This is where you can see if you need to trim your piece of white paper before you adhere it. 

Once you have everything lined up, put adhesive (I used Snail adhesive) around the circle on the back of the Rich Razzleberry piece.  With the white stamped paper on your table, lay the top layer over it and press it down.  Then take your ribbon and wrap it around the Rich Razzleberry cardstock, tie a knot and adhere all of this to a card base made from Crumb Cake cardstock.

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:

Crumb Cake

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

Rich Razzleberry

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White Cardstock

• cut at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" this will be for the inside of the card

On my inside piece of paper, I stamped flowers along the bottom and then I did the same thing on the bottom left hand side of my envelope.  On the envelope I just did a little bit in the corner, but you could easily go all along the bottom edge if you wanted too.  

Today is the day that Mark is helping Erica move!  I had to take him to the airport this morning at 3:45am!  It's a good thing I am use to getting up early everyday.  He will get to Erica's around 10:30am and then they will get the moving truck and start loading.  They will be driving part of the way back to Ohio today and finish driving the rest of the way tomorrow.  

Then the fun begins!  We will be unloading the truck and unpacking all of her stuff.  I am sure glad that none of us have to work on Monday.  However, Monday will definitely be a day of labor in our house!

Check back on Monday, September 3rd for a fun filled blog hop!  We will be showcasing projects using products from the new Holiday catalog.  I can't wait to see everyone's projects too!

    FALL FRIDAYS ARE HERE!!! 

STARTING ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH  

I will be starting my Fall Friday series on Friday, September 7th and going through Friday, October 26th.  Each week I will have a new fall project to share with you.  The projects will vary between cards, scrapbook pages and 3D projects. 

I will be doing an additional day of blogging during this time.  So, I will be posting on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  I can't wait to share them with all of you!

I hope all of you have a terrific holiday weekend and Labor Day!  Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by.  If possible, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of todays project.
