It's the 1st Wednesday of the month so its time for another Stamping Techniques to Try Blog Hop, I'm going to be using Dragonfly Dreams! This month we are focussing on 2 Step Stamping, or 3

Hi everyone, I am so glad I got a few minutes left in today to blog and share a little cute card with you. I had to make some cards and quick today. Now whenever I am strapped for time which is let's face it, nearly every time I make a card, I tend to look for something cute to case and today was no different, only in that I cased myself !!!! I made this beauty while away last November to fabulous Cuba and while I loved it, I wasn't quite happy with the sentiment placement which was a result of a poorly positioned stamped elements, basically I didn't have room to add the sentiment between the stamped lace and stamped bee. So I thought I would re hash that card at home with all my supplies on hand and this is what the second lot turned out like. This time I added more layers behind the centre panel and popped the bees up onto some dimensionals. This gorgeous bee is from the stamp set Dragonfly Dreams If you are a long time visitor of my blog you will know that I have a sweet friend, Carol who helps me stamp when I have tons to make. Well recently she was laid in hospital with a nasty infection but wanted to do something with her time and was limited as to what she could do. I stamped and coloured quite a few bees and she kindly cut them all out for me... thanks Carol <3 p=""> I love the FREE Delicate Details stamp set and used it as a background you can just see it peeking out here... And of course the wings and lace got some glitter treatment, simply dab some glue on the pieces and sprinkle with some dazzling diamonds... love the bling I do !!!! I will bid you farewell now and go and make some tea for the builders, they are working hard and we are making progress. Last time I updated you there were no floors and no ceiling in there. Well, by Tuesday we had firm floors once again, all electrics and plumbing were in and ready.... then at the end of today we even have some ceiling IN. We had a couple of set backs, the new roof had a few leaks which have now been dealt with so by tomorrow we should have a full ceiling ready for the spotlights to be fitted. Exciting stuff but so time consuming, I didn't realise I would have so many decssions to make I thought all I had to do is organise my craft stuff *laughing hard* ready to move in there. Thank you for your visit, I will see you again on Friday with a Fun Fold Blog Hop. Till then much love xoxoxo Monica

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing one of the quick and easy cards we made at the Stamp-a-Stack last Sunday. I CASEd the idea from Mary Fish over at www.stampinpretty.com when she did a similar card using the butterfly thinlits. Check it out ... I just finished putting 10 of these together last night, with the leftovers from Sunday. Seriously. So quick! Standard card base of 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Top Whisper White layer of 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" Sweet Sugarplum Layer of 3 1/2" plus two ticks x 4 3/4" plus two ticks :) Any DSP of your choice cut 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" - I used patterns from the Falling in Love pack Step 1: Run the top Whisper White layer through the Big Shot using the Dragonfly Dreams thinlits. I used the magnetic plate plus the precision plate for this cut but be warned - you aren't SUPPOSE to use the magnetic plate with the precision plate. Why? The pressure is a little too much for the clear cutting plate and it warps it quite badly. Why do I use it? This one particular die just needs the extra pressure to cult all the way through. With other plate combinations I need to keep adding card stock shims underneath and … well … it's just a pain … so I sacrifice a clear plate and if it warps it warps. It's ok … I can buy another one *lol* Step 2: Stamp your sentiment using Rich Razzleberry ink - I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Rose Wonder set Step 3: Tape the DSP square to the back of the white base - TIP - apply the tape to the back of the white layer, not to the DSP … I can pretty much guarantee if you put the tape on the DSP you'll end up with tape showing through the hole you just cut! Step 4: Use your bone folder to curl the dragonfly wings up. You have the wing between your thumb and the bone folder … like the old days when we used to curl ribbon with our scissors … Step 5: Use a small piece of foam strip on the dragonfly torso and attach it to the DSP Step 6: Attach the white layer to the Sweet Sugarplum layer with dimensionals Step 7: Attach the Sweet Sugarplum layer to the white base using snail adhesive. Step 8: Attach some rhinestones to finish it off Done! LOVE how quick it comes together. This is a great card for most occasions making it a great one for a Stamp-a-Stack! OK … guess I should run. I'm in the middle of figuring out a new videoconferencing system (called Zoom) so my long distance downline members can join me virtually for my Breakfast Stamping Spectacular Feb 25th. Wanna join us? Canadian crafters who buy the Starter Kit through my by Feb 24th and you can! Message for more info. Enjoy your Friday - I hope it's a stampy one! Tam

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams stamp set to create a clean and simple card to share today.

I was designing a card for my Team Swap a few weeks ago and decided to use the Dragonfly Dreams and Inside the Lines Designer paper. I thought they went beautifully together. Dragonfly Dreams is a beautiful new stamp and dies bundle in the Occasions catalog. It was among my top 5 picks! The Inside the Lines designer paper is from our Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's one of the free choices you can get with a $50 order. It's meant for...

Stamps, paper and ink… that’s what stamping is all about… and this card illustrates that perfectly. Last week, I attended Stampin’ Up!’s “On Stage” semi-annual event.

De laatste weken ben ik heel veel met kleur bezig door alle voorbereidingen voor de kits voor de Kijkkast-Stempelzomer. De eerste lading Kits gaat bijna de deur uit! Ik heb er vanmiddag zelfs een extra tafel bij gezet om alle pakketten met al die losse onderdeeltjes te kunnen maken, en als je al die kleuren zo bij elkaar ziet, kun je niet anders dan vrolijk worden! Dus ik ben helemaal in "the mood"om jullie vandaag ook een heerlijk kleurige kaart te laten zien! De kleuren zijn echt heerlijk fris en fel en zomers! Deze kaart maakten we pas geleden tijdens een Dragonfly Dreams workshop. Deze stempelset stond deze keer centraal en we hebben er een hele berg mooie laagjestechnieken op losgelaten om een sprookjesachtig effect te krijgen.... Genieten! Je ziet maar liefst 12 libelles terug op de kaart... Hoe langer je kijkt, hoe meer je er ziet! Heerlijk om te maken. Laagje, over laagje, over laagje en dan diverse technieken combineren! Dat geeft zulke mooie effecten! Dan als blikvanger nog een mooi uitgewerkte libelle er bovenop. Deze stanste ik uit met de Deatailed Dragonfly Thinlits. Door de allergrootste libelle onder de andere libelle te stapelen geeft dat ook weer een schaduwachtig resultaat, wat weer erg mooi bij de achtergrond past. De bovenste laag heeft een watercolor stempelafdruk gekregen, wat een mooi onregelmatig effect geeft. Door er wat Metallic Thread in Copperkleur onderuit te laten komen krijgt de kaart wat beweging en net een klein metallic glimmertje. Door bij het maken van de achtergrond meteen een extra stukje papier mee te kleuren had ik meteen een mooie strook om de banner voor de tekst van te maken, die hierdoor mooi opgaat in het geheel. Door de banner een beetje vorm te geven met de Bone Folder en ietsje gebold op de kaart te doen geeft het net wat extra structuur. Deze workshop was best even hard werken maar het resultaat dat de deelnemers bereikten was verbazingwekkend!! Ze waren dan ook ontzettend blij met hun creaties! De dames hebben die dag enorm veel opgestoken en inspiratie opgedaan. Gelukkig konden ze meteen de stempels en dies mee naar huis nemen na afloop en er meteen thuis mee verder oefenen! (Mocht je ook eens een ärtsy"of sprookjesachtige techniekenworkshop willen doen,... dat kan!.. Deze workshop kan ik namelijk op verzoek ook op locatie komen geven! of je komt met een groepje naar mij toe!) Mocht je zin hebben om mee te doen met de Stempelzomer, en lekker de hele vakantieperiode voorzien te worden van leuke, verrassende, en totaal verschillende stempelprojecten en van allerlei leuke toepassingen, tips en trucs en bijbehorende stap-voor-stap videotutorials, dan kun je je gewoon nog aanmelden hoor!

We made this card at last month's Card Club and they loved it! I absolutely love this fun fold! I cased my friend Susie Wood; like I've said before she is a genius at fun folds. We frequently 'stamp' together even though she lives in Iowa and I'm in North Dakota. We send each other photos of our projects, asking and receiving help with the final touch on some of them. Sure wish we lived closer! I used the Dragonfly...
