NC Demos Blog Hop March 2020 Pineapple Punch

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop for March 2020! Here are the guidelines:

It is almost time to say goodbye to the 2018-2020 In Colors, so I thought this month we could share our In Color Monochromatic Masterpieces using our favorite retiring In Color.

Your project can ONLY use one of the retiring In Colors. You MAY use Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock and Black ink (Foil colors are ok too!). ALL other ink and cardstock MUST be your single retiring In Color.

So when Tracy & I got together, we decided to make one for each color, see the collection!

~Enjoy!


We used a little inspiration for this background paper card. I tore the edges of the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and inked up the flowers with a sponge dauber. For the larger flowers I gave it a couple of coats to make them darker & the smaller flowers only a light tap to keep them lighter to give the background some more interest. I also crunched up the paper, but did not like the result, so instead I ran it through my embossing machine with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder.

A strip of Pineapple Punch was embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder and all tied up with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Black Ink and the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set. I ran the sentiment though my dies cut machine with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies using the second largest die, then turning it 90 degrees & cutting it again.

The envelope is stamped with the flowers from the Sweetly Swirled Stamp Set.




Now go check out these other amazing projects!!

Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin Alternative Double Snowflake

Here is another card which solely focuses on the stamp set included in the Winter Woods October 2019 Paper Pumpkin.

~Enjoy!


I first stamped a layer of Night of Navy snowflakes in an all over pattern for placement. I then went back in & strategically added an additional layer of snowflakes over the first one to give it a unique pattern from the plain one. The top left one is done in navy both times and the bottom right one has one done in navy & one done in Pool Party. The background also has a layer of Pool Party all over snow and is layered on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. A strip of Pool Party is embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder & trimmed with a few strips of Silver Glimmer Paper. The banners are hand cut from Night of Navy and the bow is made from the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon. The sentiment is tamped with Night of Navy & the snow in Pool Party and trimmed with the retired Decorative Label Punch. The envelopes snow is done in Smokey Slate.

Sailing Home Faux Embossing

Since I moved to North Carolina, I found a great group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to have the great privilege to hang out with twice a year where about 150 or so demonstrators from across North Carolina meet, craft & network. For the September meeting, they were looking for volunteers to make display boards for the event. At the time, I was heavily crafting with the Sailing Home Stamp Set since it was new to the catalog AND it coordinated with the July Paper Pumpkin "On My Mind". So I signed up to make 6 cards for the display board showcasing the stamps with a fall/winter theme. Here is the first card I made in the collection.

~Enjoy!

This card was sparked from a #simplestamping card I made. I started by adding a background layer of Pretty Peacock and a strip of Soft Suede embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder. The colors on the card are Pretty Peacock, Night of Navy and Soft Suede. The net and seaweed is from Sea of Textures and the sentiment is from Seaside Notions. For the net, I only stamped around the edges of the net so the center stayed white to highlight the anchor.


I was trying to find something to spruce up the background and I already added an embossing folder layer and I did not want to stamp the seaweed a million times, so I thought it would be cool if I die cut the seaweed from Smooth Sailing Dies but left the pieces in tact. I cut the background in half to make this a little easier, then added 3 strips of Tear & Tape along the backside to hold all of the piece in place, then ran them through my die cut machine. It turned out really cool! The tape did cut in a few places and was a little tricky to get off, but it worked! I added some Silver Glimmer Paper, a bow made from Silver and White Baker's Twine and Silver Sequins. I love it!

Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin Alternatives Banners

There were so many little leftover pieces from the August 2019 Paper Pumpkin Bone Appetit, so I decided to send some of my non-spooky Halloween friends a festive card instead (and I used up all of my little skeletons (boo-hoo).

~Enjoy!


Again, #pinspiration to the rescue! I love, love, love Lemon Lime Twist, it was such a  great color & since I bought a ream before it went away, I have lots to still play with! Here I embossed it with the Corrugated Embossing Folder for the background. The little banners are hand cut from this kit & also It's a Sara Thing Paper Pumpkin from April 2017. The sentiment is stamped with Gorgeous Grape and the Cauldron Bubble Stamp Set as well as the elements on the envelopes. I colored some Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon with a Basic Black Blends Marker & tied that around a piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. A little stip of Silver Glimmer Paper was added to the sentiment for a little more bling! Check out another version using the banner elements!

Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Coffee

The elements from the Gift of Fall for the September 2019 Paper Pumpkin are just gorgeous!  I did not make any of the little gift bags, instead I came up with several alternatives cards.

~Enjoy!


The first card uses the envelope flaps as the background background layered on Whisper White. The Merry Merlot border strip is a remnant leftover after I cut the zig zag pattern with the Delicate Lace Dies and then embossing with the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder (my favorite!)  The coffee cups were stamped with the retired Merry Cafe Stamp Set and Merry Merlot strategically on the envelope corners. The one on the left is actually 2 envelope corners & hidden by the coffee band embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder and Crumb Cake and the other with the Coffee Cup Framelits Dies. The sentiment stamps for this set are some of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen! The whole thing is topped off with a Linen Thread bow. The stamps on the envelopes are from a retired set.


The background for this card uses the sweater pattern from the October 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Season of Gratitude layer over Cajun Craze & inked up with Early Espresso. The ribbon was from the kit & I colored it with a Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker, the yellow in the ribbon altered the color to a nice Cajun Craze! The Yellow background banner is from the April 2015 Paper Pumpkin: Love you a Lot.

Tasteful Textures on All Black

What a surprise! A Bonus craft day with my friend Tracy. We usually only get together once a month, but the stars aligned for us, so we went for it! We created 3 projects this day and this was the second one.

~Enjoy!

We decided on a sketch challenge Tracy wanted to participate in as well as an "All black" challenge. We chose the colors from the sketch challenge with the big exception that the background had to be black. The colors we used were Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Whisper White.  We both were excited to use the Tasteful Textures bundle. Wait until you see Tracy's card! We only decide on a few elements & then let the day take us where it will - this time it shocked both of us with the results!


The background is new technique, at least for me, where you take a die and cut repeatedly on the background to create a faux embossed pattern, while keeping all the little die cut pieces in place. I really like the effect and this is the second time I have used it. See my Sailing Home example!


Here is the Sketch challenge image and other inspiration from the All Black challenge.

#simplestamping with Sailing Home

This month's Stampin' Up #simplestamping challenge is Birthdays! I always always needing birthday cards since I send out a ton of birthday cards every month! Here is a #simplestampnig card I made for the challenge as well as the #casualstamper and #avidstamper versions.

~Enjoy!

I wanted to create more #simplestamping cards and when I was stamping the envelopes for another card I made, I noticed how pretty it was and thought it would be a great #simplestamping card! I cut down the card front to a 3 x 4.25 Whisper White piece and stamped Anchor from Sailing Home in Soft Suede. I inked up the net from Sea of Textures in Coastal Cabana but only inking around the edges so the center stayed white to add a little highlight to the anchor. The Seaweed is stamped in night of Navy, Pretty Peacock and Soft Suede. The sentiment is stamped with Seaside Notions and Pretty Peacock.


For the #casualtstamper I added a background layer of Pretty Peacock and a strip of Soft Suede embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder. A little finishing touch is a bow made from the Braided Linen Trim.


The #avidstamper might like this one a lot because it introduces a new technique (well new to me since I just thought it up - but there have been many who have come before me). I was trying to find something to spruce up the background and I already added an embossing folder layer and I did not want to stamp the seaweed a million times, so I thought it would be cool if I die cut the seaweed from Smooth Sailing Dies but left the pieces in tact. I cut the background in half to make this a little easier, then added 3 strips of Tear & Tape along the backside to hold all of the piece in place, then ran them through my die cut machine. It turned out really cool! The tape did cut in a few places and was a little tricky to get off, but it worked! I added some Silver Glimmer Paper, a bow made from Silver and White Baker's Twine and Silver Sequins. I love it!


Here is a closeup of the "embossed" seaweed and I added a little sparkle with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Just Because meets Playful Backgrounds

Today was a Tracy play day, we decided to use a stamp set we both owed & have not used yet, so we decided on the Just Because Stamp Set. The inspiration for this one came from a friends card that I received in a swap, thanks Trish Todd! 

~Enjoy!


I first stamped the Playful Background Stamp Set in Pineapple Punch on Pineapple Punch card stock & layered that on Basic Black card base. I ran a piece of Crushed Curry though my die cut machine with the Corrugated Embossing Folder (one of my favorites!). I stamped the image with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored the focal image with a Light Pineapple Punch Blends Marker and Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker. The sentiment is cut from Gold Glimmer Paper and shadowed with Basic Black cardstock using the Sunshine Wishes Dies. I added a few gold sequins from my stash & topped it off with a bow made from 1/8" Black Cord.
