Stamp Camp Sneak Peek


Welcome Friends! If you follow me on Instagram or on my Facebook Busy with the Cricky page, you know that my friend Bonnie Sanche from Calvary, Canada and I team up three times a year for a Virtual Stamp Camp. Bonnie and I compliment one another with our design styles and we enjoy working together.

This month we have our Virtual Stamp Camp coming up on July 15th at 1:00 pm EDT. We will provide a Zoom link to those who register, as well as unlimited access to the group Facebook page. Bonnie and I will go live on Zoom, joined by whoever wants to go live with us, and teach four projects each. We will also record each of the eight project videos and will have those available forever in the FB page. We will also have print tutorials available in the FB group.


The deadline for ordering the full kit package has passed, however you can still sign up for the full virtual experience. Just order your supplies through my online Stampin' Up! store (US or Bonnie's in Canada, or from yourself if you are a Demonstrator) and purchase the virtual package for $25.00. Contact me through my email (sre433@att.net) if you would like to join the fun and create some wonderful projects. 

By the way, the photo above is a sneak peek of my 3D project for the Stamp Camp. SIgn up today!!

Fox On The Run

 
Welcome Friends! Today I am sharing this fun card I call, Fox On The Run - after a 1974 rock song. Well THAT was a while ago! 

My inspiration for this card came from a momentary whim while cutting my Designer Series Paper. Seriously. I knew I was going to do a split card using the Countryside Corner dies to cut the bridging piece. I decided to add some fun and cut a second copy of the die in the Calypso Coral dsp. Originally I planned to add a strip of the dots at the top and bottom of the white die cut, but when I placed the dot die cut on my paper trimmer to cut it, I suddenly thought, "cut it on an angle!" And so I did. 

The angle cut effected everything about the card. Suddenly I ditched the stamp set I had planned to use and grabbed Zany Zoo. Then I looked at the Zany Zoo dsp and loved this fun fox!

A bit of coloring and some stamping and voila!, I had a card! 

This card uses three different packages of Designer Series Paper. The Zany Zoo dsp, the Subtles 6x6 dsp, and the Masterfully Made dsp. I love pretty paper. Luckily, there is a sale going now through the end of the month. Stampin' Up! has thirteen dsp prints on sale for 15% off through the end of the month!!

Introducing Waves of Inspiration

 


Welcome Stampin' Friends! Today I would like to introduce you to a new suite of products released March 1st by Stampin' Up!, Waves of Inspiration. Each spring Stampin' Up! releases one new suite of products from the upcoming Annual Catalog. The annual catalog will be available in May, but this early release provides you with a little foretaste of the goodies to come.



I used this suite to create my March Class To Go. I created four cards (three are pictured here) using the suite. Anyone who orders either the stamp set and die bundle, or the entire suite (pictured below), will receive a kit in the mail to create the Class To GO cards.



I will be featuring this suite on my Instagram page in the coming days/weeks. I will try to add more projects to the blog feed as well.

Simply Sketchin' Saturday Facebook Challenge

 

Welcome Stampin' Friends! Today I am going to share another sketch challenge from the Simply Sketchin' Saturday Facebook Group (click here to ask to join). This week's challenge sketch is pictured below. As you can see, I have taken a few liberties in interpreting the sketch.


I seem to have three stampin' focuses in my life right now, Waves of Inspiration, an early release suite from the upcoming Annual catalog, preparing for my upcoming March classes, and the Ukraine. I feel such sadness, sympathy, and outrage for the people of Ukraine. With that third focus constantly on my mind, I used today's Simply Sketchin' Saturday (because it is Saturday in Australia) to express my thoughts for Ukraine. 


I used a palate of Pacific Point blue, Daffodil Delight yellow, and Early Espresso, with touches of gold. I stamped the sunflower in Black Memento Ink, then colored it with Daffodil Delight light and dark Stampin' Blend Markers. I used two small rectangles of gold dot vellum and some gold leaves (both of which are leftovers from an older Paper Pumpkin kit), as well as a die cut circular mat and a scrap of gold and white designer series paper.


For my sentiment, I did not use a stamp. I created my own sentiment in a Word document and printed it onto white cardstock. I based my sentiment on the scripture in Isiah. I confess that I never truly appreciated that sentiment before. I generally think of a river as a peaceful, gently moving body of water. What I have failed to grasp previously is that a mighty river flows with such force that it clears obstacles and moves land (think of the mighty Mississippi River carving out the land of Louisiana, ever widening and changing). That is the type of peace movement I would like for the people of the Ukraine.


I am going to share one more quick Ukraine themed project I made this week (above). Straight from my Instagram page, my Ukrainian relief fund money box. A nice place to collect extra $1 dollar bills and change to donate to a relief fund.

Before I go, as luck would have have it (it truly was a coincidence), the Celebrating Sunflowers stamp and die bundle is currently on sale for 20% off, as well as 12 other bundles and our mini die cut machine. Check out the sale HERE at my online store. Select Shop Now, Savings and Promotions, and then select Savings Are In Bloom.

Thank you for stopping by today. The products used on my Simply Sketchin' Saturday card are listed below (but remember, the Sunflower Bundle is on sale for $45.50).
