Hello friends! I'm sharing a FREE Card Class this first Saturday in June, 6/1/2024. This month I'm sharing the Sweet Peas stamp set from Stampin' Up! I fell in love with this adorable imagery the minute I saw this set and knew I'd want to create a class around it.Sometimes, stamp sets with smaller images can be more difficult to use in design. In this class, I'm going to share a couple of ways to work with smaller images to give them the spotlight they deserve and make your card designs shine!Y
Today is My Favorite Things December 2020 new product release. They have another beautiful release that you can find right here. I worked with the Stacey Yacula stamp set and matching die as I usually do. This month it is called Tea Party and has all of the usual darling little critters. Here is an image of the stamp set: I have a slim-line card to share with you as a regular sized card just wouldn't do as I couldn't fit all the cute images on one card! I started by creating the background. I colored it with Copic Markers keeping the top half a very light pink and the bottom a basic beige color. I wanted it to be...

If you get lost, please visit the CLASSroom blog for a complete list of all the designers. Happy hoppin’! You should have come from the one, the only, Julie Ebersole!!! I am beyond impressed with the coolness of her designs in this release. As you will see after reading this post, I am OBSESSED with her interactive bear from the All Inside set. What makes it so special is that the die actually cuts his hands! That means you can make him do a ton of things. So let's get right to it! FIVE different ways to use the cutest bear on the market 1. Give him an embellishment. Here the bear is hanging on for dear life as the balloons whisk him away to "happy" : ) Adding actual balloon strings adds another texture to the card, as well as an easy way to have the bear hold the balloons. I didn't adhere the strings to the bear, just slid them under his die-cut arm. The sentiment and balloons are from another set called Up the Happy. I wanted the sentiment to really stand out since it tells part of the story, so I embossed it with black powder instead of just stamping it in black. On the left is the original version of this card ... can you tell what I ended up changing? The crowd of bears on the original card is very compact, and doesn't really give you the impression that one bear is getting carried off by the balloons. Plus the taller bear in the middle of the crowd was competing too much for the focal point. For the final version of the card on the right, you'll see that I split up the crowd of bears so there's a space where the balloon bear would have been standing, before he got a hold of the super-charged helium balloons. And your eye goes right to the balloon bear, not to some attention seeker in the middle of the crowd below. A slight difference, but I think it tells a better story : ) 2. Give him a sentiment. Oh yes, the cutest bear ever can hold any sentiment you want him to. Isn't that so much more fun than just sticking the sentiment on the card base?! Speaking of the card base, I cut several more of the Brushstroke Hello dies in white to make the base a little more interesting, clustering them on the bottom of the card to help ground the bear. Here he is, with his chubby little hands grasping the sentiment. Aww! Both the bear and the sentiment have a layer of white fun foam underneath to make them thick and substantial. 3. Cut him from felt. Really, a whole different world opens up when you start thinking beyond paper. I had my grade-school-aged cousins over for a party last week and they all went NUTS over this cutie in felt! They wanted to make him in all different colors. This project is the cover of a prayer journal from a women's group I just joined. The bear is glued down, with some stuffing inside to make his belly round. I stamped the "hugs" sentiment and then stitched over it with metallic thread. Then the brown panel is sewn to the peach panel, which has a brown blanket stitch along the edge. I wasn't sure how to attach it all to the plastic notebook, so I finally ended up using my tiny attacher and stapled underneath the brown felt edge. You can't tell it's there. And did you know you can stamp pretty well on felt?! Yes! I like to use StazOn because it gives a darker impression. All these textures make me so happy! 4. Stamp multiples of him. What a great way to get more out of your stamp and die sets. Instead of one bear, why not make eight of them?! Multiplying something is an easy way to make it look more impressive (a common interior design trick as well). I picked the Many Thanks die specifically to go with this gang of bears. Thinking more about the sentiment, my husband suggested I decided they should literally be holding many thanks. Not having a "thanks" stamp in the right size, I just wrote them out and tucked them into the bears' paws. This card is made a little differently, with a flat panel for the back and a main focal point that swings out (folds back flat for mailing). One tip is when you know you are going to fussy cut around your image anyway, go nuts and color outside the lines. Way outside. It doesn't matter! You would never know there was all that mess before their trimming. 5. Give him a Gift Card. Yep, use two of these bears for a fun and unique gift card holder! You may be wondering, "why green bears?" Well, I wanted them to tie in with the colors on the gift card. Same thinking for the sentiment on the bottom from the Totally Awesome set ... the "amazing" is colored in with colors from the gift card. That sentiment cracks me up. "Treat Yo Self." hahaha! To make the bears into a gift card holder, just space out the bears and slip the card in. I just love him in green with the white fun foam underneath. And I love his quirky smile. He's all, "Yeah, I've got a gift card for you. I know you love it. I know you love me." My husband came by while I was working on the cards (notice that I get easily distracted and often work on many projects at the same time ... it looks like three of the bear cards are in progress here) and asked, "so, what's with all the bears?" I just completely fell in love with this guy! I'm sure your mind is thinking of a million more ways to use this little guy, but here are five of them. So versatile! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you are as excited as I am about the new goodies in this release (not to mention the prizes!)

Este foi o primeiro de dez ou doze (acabei por perder a conta...) tamanduás-bandeira que encontrei este ano. Infelizmente, antes de encontrar este, vivo, encontrei dois outros atropelados na estrada... "O tamanduá-bandeira é um mamífero que pode ser encontrado na América Central e na América do Sul. É a maior das quatro espécies de tamanduás. Tem hábitos predominantemente terrestres. Mede entre 1,8 e 2,1 metros de comprimento e pesa até 41 kg. É facilmente reconhecido pelo seu focinho longo e padrão característico de pelagem. Possui longas garras nos dedos das patas anteriores. O aparelho bucal é adaptado a sua dieta especializada em formigas e cupins. É encontrado em diversos tipos de ambientes, desde savanas a florestas. Prefere forragear em ambientes abertos, mas utiliza florestas e áreas mais húmidas para descansar e regular a temperatura corporal. É capaz de nadar em rios amplos. Seus predadores incluem grandes felinos, como a onça-pintada e a onça-parda, e rapinantes podem predar os filhotes. Apesar dos territórios individuais muitas vezes se sobreporem aos de outros, são animais primariamente solitários, sendo encontrados com outros somente em situações de cortejamento de fêmeas ou encontros agonísticos entre machos e fêmeas cuidando de filhotes. Se alimenta principalmente de formigas e cupins, utilizando suas garras para cavar e a língua para coletar os insetos. O tamanduá-bandeira é listado como "vulnerável" pela IUCN. Foi extinto em algumas partes de sua distribuição geográfica, como no Uruguai, e corre grande risco de extinção na América Central. As principais ameaças à sobrevivência da espécie são a caça e a destruição do habitat, e é um animal susceptível a ser atingido fatalmente por incêndios e atropelamentos. Apesar do risco de extinção, pode ser encontrado em inúmeras unidades de conservação, onde muitas vezes é abundante." Texto da Wikipédia ------------------------------- This was the first of ten or twelve (I ended up losing count ...) Giant Anteaters that I met this year. Unfortunately, before finding this one, alive, I found two others killed on the road. "The giant anteater is a mammal that can be found in Central America and South America. Is the largest of the four species of Anteaters. Predominantly, it has terrestrial habits. It measures between 1.8 and 2.1 meters long and weighs up to 41 kg. It is easily recognized by its long snout and characteristic pattern of coat. It has long claws on the forefeet toes. The mouthparts are adapted to their diet specialized in ants and termites. It is found in different types of environments, from grasslands to forests. He prefers to forage in open environments, but he uses forests and moist areas to relax and regulate body temperature, and is able to swim in large rivers. Their predators include big cats, such as Jaguar and Puma, and raptors can prey on the chicks. Despite the individual territories often overlap those of others, they are primarily solitary animals, being found with others only in situations of courting females or then adversarial encounters between males and females caring for puppies. It feeds mainly on ants and termites, using the claws to dig and the tongue to collect the insects. The giant anteater is listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN. It was extinct in some parts of their geographical distribution, as in Uruguay, and in it is in serious danger of extinction in Central America. The main threats to the survival of the species are hunting and habitat destruction, and it is an animal liable to be fatally hit by fires and road kill. Despite the risk of extinction, can be found in numerous protected areas, where it is often abundant. " Text from Wikipedia
