From Where I Stamp by Amanda Farlinger

Snow Much - Kylie's International Blog Highlights

December 07, 2020 in Blog Hop, die cutting, Embossing Folder, Stampin' Cut & Emboss, Thank you

Happy December 7th! Today is Kylie's Monthly International blog highlights where demonstrators from all over the world share their project using the theme of Thank You. You can vote for your top 5 favourites on Kylie's blog, I hope you enjoy my card and vote for me!

My upline Lisa gave us a colour challenge awhile back to use Rococo Rose, Rich Razzleberry and Petal Pink to create a project. While I'm not a fan of pink (Team Purple here!) I have been challenging myself to create with colours I wouldn't normally. First I stamped different sized snowflakes and my chosen sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock. Originally the white stamped piece was going to be the top part of the card but then I remembered there was Champagne Foil sheets sitting in my drawer waiting to be used. The Champagne foil sheet is cut to 4" x 5.25", then run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine first with a die from the Stitched Rectangles dies and then with the Winter Snow embossing folder. The whole Champagne piece is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals with the white stamped piece glued to the Gray Granite card base.

Tip: Take a piece of printer paper: cut in half so it will fit into the die cut machine (8.5" x 5.5"), then when putting your sandwich together place the printer paper over the foil/die sheet before placing the top plate on. This will protect the foil from imprinting from the top plate.

If you have a moment please vote for my card and check out all the other great projects! Click here to vote. The top 10 winners of this vote will participate in an International Blog Hop later this month.

Snowflakes in Wood

November 22, 2020 in card, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing, Holidays, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

The snow started to fall this afternoon! It's very pretty when I can sit in my craft room, watch it collect on the truck in the driveway and don't have to leave the house. Have you had your first snow storm of this season? Days like today was my inspiration when stamping the snowflakes onto the wood design paper from the In Good Taste designer series paper. The snowflakes are from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, stamped using Versamark ink and heat set with Whisper White embossing powder.

Pretty Cards and Paper Blog Hop - Forever Fern

November 20, 2020 in Blog Hop, card, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Holidays, Pretty Cards & Paper, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

Welcome to October's Pretty Cards & Paper Blog Hop and thank you for stopping by! This month we are using the Forever Fern designer series paper.

Some of the designs of the Forever Fern DSP work really well for Christmas like the piece on my card. I think it looks like a waterfall or tall grass. The In The Pines bundle is a good way to make some beautiful cards for Christmas or for other occasions.

Crop Kingston - 'Tis The Season Virtual Crop

November 19, 2020 in card, Christmas, Crop Kingston, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

On Saturday we held our November 'Tis The Season Virtual Crop in our private Facebook group. It was fun to create some additional projects for you and to watch what Lisa created!

This is my original card that the instructions were included in the PDF. I picked out strips of the 'Tis The Season designer series paper that were left over from our other cards. For my sample card I used strips featuring the colour green. The strips are 4" x 0.75".

Cozy Moose with Foil

November 12, 2020 in card, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Embossing Folder, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

Hello my name is Amanda and I LOVE the Moose stamp and punch in the Merry Moose bundle!❤️ Don't get me wrong, the little racoon is adorable as well BUT that moose! To create this card I've used some of my new favourite accessories as well. Can you spot the Iridescent Pearls? In the catalogue they looked very bluish but in real life they can have a greenish hue to them as well. And the Silver foil embossed using the new Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder really pops behind those stamped trees and the moose.

Quite Curvy Notecards

November 11, 2020 in card, Designer Series Paper, Punches, Variety

Aren't those birds adorable? You can find them in the Quite Curvy stamp set, a lovely set that will be in the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalogue and an early release available right now. It was so quick to snip out the birds from cardstock after stamping them in Early Espresso ink. With the beautiful warm weather we had this week it feels more like summer and creating with this new set was a nice change from creating fall and Christmas projects.

What makes these cards quick and easy is using Note cards & Envelopes to quickly create some lovely cards. You can also add some of the pretty Christmas Classic designer series paper to the outside flap of the envelope and stamp the front with a birdie to brighten the envelope.

These note cards were created during my Facebook live last week. The video is below if you missed watching it. Join me this Thursday at 7:30pm for my next live!

Smoky Plaid Anne's Lace

October 29, 2020 in card, Designer Series Paper, Thank you

What do you think of this Smoky Slate and Seaside Spray colour combo? It pops against the Plaid Tidings designer series paper. To create this card I've used the Stamparatus to help me position the 2 stamps. The Stamparatus is a great tool, allowing you to put the stamp where you want it to go. If I had tried to line up the blossoms with the stems they would have been off!

A Curvy Merry Christmas

October 20, 2020 in card, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Facebook Live, Holidays, Stampin' Cut & Emboss, Videos

For this card I drew inspiration for one of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Design Team - Nina Waldschmidt. I love her card with all the layers but I wanted to show a simpler card. I pulled some of the colours from the Classic Christmas designer series paper - Sahara Sand and Shaded Spruce and added Pool Party! I'm so not ready for winter but I love this colour combo as it makes me think of snowy days. The Curvy Celebrations bundle is available for demonstrators to order now! And will be available for customers to order from Nov 3 to Jan 4. The Quite Curvy stamp set and matching Curvy dies are an early release from the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalogue while the Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Classic Christmas designer series paper are exclusive and limited time offerings until Jan 4.

Squirrel Birthday Card

October 19, 2020 in Birthday, card, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

A special fold birthday card to celebrate my nephew's birthday! This fun fold was shared with me by another team member at our Fall Shoebox swap we did over Zoom. It was a fun night and so nice to see those that could make it! I miss in person events but being online with others and stamping makes the night go by so quickly. To create this fun fold your card base is 4.5" x 11", scored at 2" and 7.5" on the long side. The designer series paper was cut to 4" x 1.75" and 4" x 3.25". The Plaid Tidings designer series paper has so many different colour combinations that it can be used for every occasion! And the best is the Plaid Tidings DSP is on sale for 15% off until Oct 31!!
