I am hosting a Use Your Stash Valentine's Day Challenge! I hope you will join me this month and play along.
Each week, there will be an assignment. Play along and by the end of the month, you will have 4 (or more) Valentine's to send to family and friends, just in time to arrive on Feb. 14th!
Week 1: Jan. 4th Go through your dies and punches. Cut out images that you could use on your cards. Think outside of the box...use banners, alphabet letters, flowers and postal images. Also, many of my Christmas die sets have hearts so be sure to check those as well. Now organize all those pieces into a muffin tin or similar container.
tags and xoxo's, arrows, birds and bows.
I hope you'll join me in the Valentine's Day Challenge! See you next week for the second part of the challenge!
Week 2: Jan. 11th
Week 3: Jan. 18th
Week 4: Jan. 25th
January 31st:
Tomorrow, Jan. 6th, the new Paper Pumpkin Add On die set becomes available so I thought I would share some ways I've been using it to get the most from it!
The first way I used it was to cut the image out with white card stock, but leave the die on the image and ink blend the paper. This leaves a thin white border on your die. I used Pretty in Pink ink on the top left image and Real Red ink on the image on the top right.
The second way I used the die was to cut it out once, then realign it and cut it again to make smaller stamp images. I especially like this technique because I can cut lots of different sized pieces.
The third way I used the die was to use washi tape and grid paper to tape off a border and paint a watercolor wash over it. Allow the watercolor to dry before gently pulling off the tape.
I hope this has given you a few more ideas on how to utilize this great die. The item number is 168666 and will be available Tuesday, Jan. 6th. Stampin' Up! will also release the next Product of the Month, so be sure to check that out as well!
“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
Do you have a special someone that you would like to share a memory with? This cute little memory album is just the way to do it!
Directions for Creating the Album
This accordion mini album has six pockets, but you can easily adjust the design to include fewer or more. Each finished pocket measures 3-1/8" x 5" (7.9 x 12.7 cm) and holds a 3" x 5" (7.6 x 12.7 cm) tag. To create the album:
For each pocket, start with a 3-5/8" x 10" (9.2 x 25.4 cm) piece of Designer Series Paper and score it at 1/4" (6.4 mm) and 3-3/8" (8.6 cm) on the short side, and at 5" (12.7 cm) on the long side.
Assemble each pocket with Tear & Tape Adhesive, then join them by placing a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive down the center between pockets to form the accordion.
Create six 3" x 5" (7.6 x 12.7 cm) tags and put them in the pockets.
Wrap a piece of 7-1/2" x 2-3/8" (19 x 6 cm) Designer Series Paper around the album and adhere the ends together to create a belly band.
Honestly, I have struggled with this kit...until today! I kept thinking winter vibes but the leaves looked tropical to me. So I decided to give the stamps a bright burst of color and try an island theme. I'm very happy with how it turned out!
I began with a piece of DSP from the True Blue December Product of the Month gift. I added leaves in colors of Blueberry Bushel, Parakeet Party (retired) and Timid Tiger inks.
I stamped my sentiment from the kit in Timid Tiger ink and added some die cut leaves from Parakeet Party card stock (retired). I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals to finish off the card.
