Stamp Camp North - May 2022

Stamp Camp North in May will be an awesome camp. First, we have our semi-annual craft sale starting at 9:00 (believe me you don't want to miss this) and then camp will follow at 10:00. Here is the card the campers will make at my table:

I absolutely love the dsp in the Waves of Inspiration pack. Although not carrying over to the new annual catalog, I managed to snag some packs and hope to use them over the next few months to create some great cards! This card has a Pacific Point card base with a layer of white emossed with the Painted Texture embossing folder. There is a strip of the Waves of Inspiration dsp topped by a die cut from the Scalloped Contours dies stamped using stamps from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pacific Point ink. I wrapped some thread and added some gems from the suite  and called it done! The inside is stamped using Balmy Blue in and uses the wave stamp from Waves of Inspiration and a sentiment.

Here is some information about this awesome camp:

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!

Sassy Stampers - May 2022

Here is the card the campers will be making at my table:

I am in love with the Oceanfront set and was so happy to see that it is carrying over to the new annual catalog. I used Basic White and Coastal Cabana for my card stock colors and stamped in Coastal Cabana (sky), Bermuda Bay (water) and Crumb Cake (sand). The sentiment and grasses are stamped in Mossy Meadow. Campers will have a choice of Happy Birthday or Happy Father's Day for the inside. The birds are die cut in Basic Black and are from the Waves of Inspiration dies. I will also have this card I made to illustrate how versatile the stamp set is:

Card stock colors are the same but I used a mask and blending brushes to add the color (Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake) and then stamped the grasses and sentiment in Mossy Meadow. The birds are from the Let's Set Sail stamp set and are stamped in Basic Gray. This is such a fun set and presents so many possibilities! Here is the information about this fun camp:

Waves of Inspiration

SU  recently introduced a new collection of products. There is a great package of paper that unfortunately will retire on May 2. I made these cards using some of that lovely dsp:

These are called joy fold cards and I am loving this technique. The bottom one features a die from this suite of products that I am in love with! Luckily, the die and the stamp set will carry over to the new Annual Catalog and I am thrilled. Colors used are Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green and I also used the DSP and the aqua-colored foil that is also being retired. The top card uses the Label Me Lovely punch and the bottom card uses the retired Pretty Label punch. I used some of the sold out gems from this suite on the top card as well. This is a gorgeous set of products and I wish more of them had carried over. Oh well, I have a stash!

Crazy Card Chicks - April 2022

Here is my card for this month's Crazy Card Chicks virtual stamp camp:

I used a piece of Basic Black for the card base with a layer of Gorgeous Grape topped with a stamped piece of Simply Marbelous dsp. The stamp is called In the Meadow from Technique Junkies. Every month I look forward to seeing the month's offering from TJ - always a fun experience. The sentiment was computer generated and die cut with a die from the Stitched Rectangles set. The inside was also layered on a piece of Gorgeous Grape and was computer generated as well. We are looking for a place to hold in-person camp but haven't found an affordable option just yet.

Stamp Camp North - April 2022

It's time for our monthly Stamp Camp North gathering of creative stampers! Here are the card choices for the campers who will visit my table:

The card utilizes that gorgeous paper pack I used in my last post - Expressions in Ink. I just love this paper pack! The card base is white with layers of the dsp along with a layer of Basic Black. The sentiment is computer generated and cut using a die from the Stitched Rectangles dies. While the beautiful dsp will be retiring, at least the dies will hang around for another year! I also added some Champagne Rhinestones for just a little more bling! The inspiration for this card came from Jennifer Cotton (The Stamp Therapist). She is a wonderful stamper from Texas, USA and I would encourage you to visit her blog and get inspired!

Just Playing

I've been making a bunch of cards lately that are not really for anyone in particular, just general stash cards. Here are a couple using some of the beautiful Expressions in Ink designer series paper:

I just love this paper and am so sad that it is retiring. Luckily, I have a stash!
