It’s back to school!  So this month we made cards consistent with the school theme—an owl librarian, a new friend, crafty ribbon and scissors.  Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Owl Librarian and Bookworm

All of the images in these cards are from the Check You Out stamp set.  The books are actually 3 separate stamps.  We used the stamparatus so that they were stacked perfectly.  For the script embossing on the granny apple green cardstock, it was brushed with granny apple green using a sponge to draw out the design.  It is called the Scripty 3D embossing folder and is turning out to be one of my new favorites.  (You will see it again on the scissors card.)

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Check You Out
• Pool Party cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"
• Granny Apple Green cardstock 2 1/8 x 5 ½"
• Early Espresso cardstock 2 1/4 x 3 1/2"
• Whisper White cardstock 2 x 3 1/4"
• Scripty 3D embossing folder
• Ink Pads: Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral
• Stamparatus
• Stamping sponge

Card 2: Walrus Window

I just loved this window card and got the idea from a card that I received from Cindy Baughman my sweet friend and SUI leader.  You can check out her design using the On To Adventure stamp set on her blog post dated July 18, 2019 (stampedwithaloha.com).  The window was cut using one of the larger labels from the Stitched Nested Label Dies.  (Note: You can purchase these dies on their own or as a bundle with the Free as a Bird Stamp Set for a 10% discount.)  Then coordinating sentiments were stamped on each side of the Mango Melody cardstock.  I used the We’ll Walrus Be Friends set which has coordinating messages.  Then I chose walrus images to stamp for the front and inside.  I punched the images out using the 2” circle punch.  Then punched 2 circles of 2 ¼” from black cardstock to adhere them to.  Then I assembled the card and you can see what it looks like from the front and inside.  Here are two of many options.  I just love the walrus with the seagull on his head!  For the epoxy heart, it was clear, but we colored it using a Blends Cherry Cobbler Dark marker.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: We’ll Walrus Be Friends
• Basic Gray cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"
• Coastal Cabana cardstock 4 x 5 1/4"
• Mango Melody cardstock 2 x 4”
• Basic Black cardstock 2 circles 2 1/4”
• Whisper White cardstock 2 circles 2”
• Epoxy heart, medium
• 2” Circle Punch
• 2 1/4” Circle Punch
• Stitched Nested Labels Dies
• Blends: Smoky Slate Light, Crumb Cake Light, Mango Melody Dark, Pool Party Dark, Cherry Cobbler Dark
• Ink Pads: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink

Card 3: Ribbons

Here is a fun stack of ribbons from the It Starts with Art stamp set.  The sentiment is from this set too.  The coordinating designer paper is called Follow Your Art.  Like the previous card, the epoxy heart was colored using the Blend Calypso Coral Dark maker.  Perfect for late night crafters!

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: It Starts With Art
• Coastal Cabana cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"
• Calypso Coral cardstock 3 x 3”
• Whisper White cardstock 2 3/4 x 2 3/4”
• Follow Your Art DSP 2 x 5 1/4"
• Epoxy heart, large
• Ink Pad: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
• Blends: Daffodil Delight Dark and Light, Calypso Coral Dark and Light, Bermuda Bay Light
• Wink of Stella Clear

Card 4: Scissors

The images for this card are all from the Crafting Forever stamp set.  The scissor looks just like our snips!  A small rhinestone was used on the pivot point.  We used the Scripty 3D embossing folder, this time on silver foil.  I like how it makes the script stand out.  For the Basic Black Cardstock, the Corrugated 3D embossing folder was used.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Crafting Forever
• Smoky Slate cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2”
• Basic Black cardstock 3 1/4 x 4"
• Lovely Lipstick cardstock 2 1/2 x 3”

Happy summer!  School is starting again soon and is already underway for some!  So thought we'd get the year started off with some books, arts and crafts supplies, and a friendly walrus.  Reminders of the fun of stocking up on school supplies and looking forward to reconnecting classmates.  We will be using more new products from the annual catalog.  Here is a sneak peek of the projects.

Here are some of the products that will be featured in class:

We will be making 3 each of the 4 designs for a total of 12 cards.  The class fee of $20 includes all supplies to make the projects including envelopes.  There are still spaces available in all classes:

Hope you are having a great summer!  Thought it would be a good time to take a trip to the farm.  We’ll be making cards that include animals you’d find on a farm-a pig, a dog, a cow and a rabbit.  Plus, a pick-up truck to transport them.  Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Hula Dancing Pig

This card uses a pig from the stamp set This Little Piggy.  The image originally included a flower, so I removed it by cutting around the rubber stamp.  We gave her an island touch by adding a frosted flower embellishment colored with a Stampin’ Blend Cherry Cobbler Dark marker.  The skirt is just a strip of granny apple green snipped like grass.  Then one of the most popular stamp sets from last year, Tropical Chic, was used for the sentiment and hibiscus flowers in the background.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: This Little Piggy, Tropical Chic
• Granny Apple Green cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2", 1/2 x 1 1/8’ for skirt
• Real Red cardstock 2 1/2 x 4 1/4"
• Basic Black cardstock 2 1/4 x 3"
• Whisper White cardstock 2 x 2 3/4"
• Frosted flower embellishment
• Blends: Petal Pink Light and Dark, Granny Apple Green Light and Dark, Crumb Cake Light, Cherry Cobbler Dark
• Ink Pads: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, Real Red

Card 2: Dog Riding Pick-Up Truck

This pick-up truck was stamped on Granny Apple Green and cut out with snips.  The window of the truck was also cut out.  Then the truck was accented with Stampin’ Blends and the tires were colored black.  The hubcaps were made from silver foil by punching circles from it.  The sentiment and the dog were stamped on the whisper white background.  For easier placement, I put both stamps on the stamparatus.  To stamp the heart, a clear block was used.  Then I attached the cut-out truck using dimensionals.  This cute little dog looks so happy riding in the back of this truck!

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Ride With Me, You Always Deliver
• Crumb Cake cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"
• Pool Party cardstock 2 1/8 x 5 1/2"
• Basic Black cardstock 3 x 4 1/4”

• Ink Pads: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, Real Red Classic pad

Card 3: Dreaming Cow

Here is a cow daydreaming in the field on a nice, breezy summer day.  The basic gray background was embossed using the Corrugated 3D embossing folder.  The bell and heart got some sparkle using the Wink of Stella Clear pen.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Over the Moon
• Balmy Blue cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"

Card 4: Rabbit in Sweater

This card is scored at 2 1/8” from each end so that it folds towards the center and opens like a French door.  The left panel is Rich Razzleberry cardstock and was embossed using the Country Floral 3D Embossing folder.  The rabbit’s flower is a frosted flower embellishment.  The rabbit piece was attached with dimensionals only to the left side of the card. 

Here is the recipe:
