Our Labor Day weekend! Look back

September 20, 2014

Impromptu road trip over Labor Day to California. Beach day, Angels game, Disneyland and various roadside attractions. It was nice to get away and spend some quality time with the family.

Try adding color in a unique way! 🌊 Emboss a pattern onto your paper, then loosely apply watercolor over it—the raised areas will absorb the paint first, creating a beautiful effect. I used the Soft Waves embossing folder for this texture and the Friendly Seagulls stamp set to complete the look. #stampinup #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #friendlyseagullsstampset #softwavesembossingfolder #cardmaker #cardmakingideas

This screaming seagull cracks me up. These are fun stamps. I created a little love note thought bubble using the Bee Builder punch to help ground the sentiment.

Quick 2-color watercolor! I stamped the large orange image in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto cold press watercolor paper. I painted a quick wet wash and then dropped in color into those washes. This stamp set is called Citrus Blooms. 🍊 The card base was created by cutting strips of green cardstock and alternating colors to create diagonal stripes. #cardmaking #stampinup #citrusbloomsbundle #citrusbloomsstampset #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingideas #cardmakers #cardmakingreels

I’m loving all the green stripes on this fruity card. This card features the Citrus Blooms stamp set and I’m digging the bold contrast of the stripes behind the painterly image of oranges. 🍊 Play along with our @global_design_project theme challenge this week.

Stamp, stamp, stamp, punch, punch punch, love, love, love. A little repetition never hurt … here’s a peek at how I created this card for the USE YOUR STASH insta hop using an old word stamp set ‘Labels to Love’. Our theme this month is WORDS. I used a small dab of liquid glue to attach the bow. It would not stick! I weighed it down with a clear block until it stuck. Handy tip. #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaking #cardmaker #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #cardmakingreel #labelstolove #lovecard

USE YOUR STASH! This Instagram hop is all about digging into and using your old craft supplies—aka your stash! This month’s theme is WORDS. I’ve held onto many word stamp sets over the years, especially ones I designed. The LOVE image I used here comes from the 'Labels to Love' stamp set that was released in 2016-2017. This was a simple card to create. I stamped the LOVE image in multiple colors, punched them out, and arranged them in a grid pattern on the card front. Do you recognize that old tag punch? It's a classic that will never leave my stash—haha! To make the larger greeting, I die-cut the words LOVE and YOU and combined them. I added a bow from a 50-yard spool of black and white baker's twine that is seemingly endless. Want to see what my friends have created using products they could not give up? Me too!
