Jennifer's Stamp Pad

Pirate Party

2012-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Today I have the invitation that I made for my daughter Aimee's 7th birthday party to share with you. I got this idea from a post on Kimberly VanDiepen's blog. Aimee wanted to have a pirate party this year, so this worked perfectly! The pirate is stamped in black craft ink and embosses with black embossing powder. For added, bling I added rhinestone in the eyes of the skull. See the designer paper in the background? That is some retired Halloween paper. Since I had to make 30 of these, I did not have enough of the paper to make all the cards, so since I have this paper in My Digital Studio, I simply printed out the extras that I needed on Whisper White card stock! Worked perfectly and you can hardly tell the difference between the real and the digital! Love it!

Valentines Day

2012-02-16T07:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. It has been while since I have posted a card, but that is because I have been busy, busy, busy making my daughter's birthday invitations. They are all done, and I will post a picture of them in the coming days. However, today I wanted to share with you the cards I made for Valentine's day. First, here is the card that I made my hubby:

Next, here is the card that I made for my older daughter Aimee:

And last, but not least, here is the card I made for my younger daughter Allison:

I got the ideas for all these cards from the gallery posts on Splitcoast Stampers. Love that site for lots of ideas and inspiration!

January Technique Class

2012-01-12T07:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Today I have the cards from my January Technique Class to share with you. This month I focused all my cards around using the new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

This first card features both the new Framelits dies for the Big Shot as well as the new cherry flavored embossing powder. We stamped the ice cream cone and then used a VersaMarker to color over the cherry and cone and then sprinkled with the embossing powder. Once the powder is heated up, it gives off a yummy cherry scent! Fun!

This next card also features the Framelits dies as well as the coordinating Apothecary Art stamp set. In addition, we used the new Edgelits dies and coordinating embossing folder, as well as the 3/8" pleated ribbon to complete this card.

This card features both the new Blossom punch and coordinating Mixed Bunch stamp set, as well as the new Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.

And last, but not least, this simple birthday card features the new Packed for Birthday a la carte stamp.

Christmas Album

2012-01-07T08:00:00.000-08:00

Today I wanted to share with you the Christmas album I made. I CASEd this right out of the catalog! This is a 6x6 album. I always hear that our scrapbook albums are too plain. I always tell people that they are plain for a reason - they are a blank canvas just waiting to be decorated! I am determined to scrapbook my pictures from Christmas this year, and I hoping that having this album all decorated and ready to go will inspire me! :) Plus, since it is a 6x6 album, it is not too overwhelming and it is meant to be a small project. Another bonus - the 6x6 scrapbook pages we made during my Christmas card class fit right in here. That is two pages already done! :)

To create this, I started with one of our 6x6 linen albums. I then used the scallop rectangle from the On Board Merry Melody pack as a template to trace a bigger scallop square on Old Olive card stock. I then hand cut it out. I then took piece of window sheet and applied the Letters to Santa Decor Elements (I got 2 packs of these - one in Old Olive and one in Real Red to create the multicolored look). I used the Merry & Type stamp set to stamp the ornaments on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock with black ink which I adhered behind the window sheet using Dimensionals. I then measured out the space I would need to cut out of the center of the scalloped square and cut that out and adhered the window sheet to that. I then adhered the whole thing to the album itself using Dimensionals. I then added the ribbon and tag the album - again using the Merry & Type set as well as the Calendar Alphabet set. Cut out a snowflake with my Big Shot and added a Trinket Key, tied everything together and done! :) Here is a close up shot of the tag:

Now - I just need to print out some pictures and start scrapbooking! :)

Christmas Thank You

2012-01-06T12:00:00.000-08:00

Hi all. Today I have a quick and easy project to share with you. I recently went though all my stamp sets and found a set called Simply Season Thanks (now retired) that I had never used. I thought that this would be the perfect stamp to use for some Christmas thank you cards for my daughter to send out. So, I made a couple of these and had her fill out blanks. These are simple postcard-type cards that don't open.

My Digital Studio Hybrid Calendar

2011-11-23T08:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Today I would like to share with you this hybrid calendar I made with My Digital Studio. The digital elements used to make this were given free at convention this year to those attending the MDS hybrid class that was offered. The templates came ready to go. All I did was have the calender printed, spiral bound, and sent to me through Stampin' Up!s professional printing services. Once the calendar arrived at my door, that is when the fun began! I added a bunch of hybrid elements to this to make it a little more fun. :)

First, here is the cover. I punched out the flowers out of Cherry Cobbler card stock with my Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch. I distressed them a bit by crumpling them up, then stuck them together and added a coordinating button! Then I simply attached my flower to the cover page. Done!

I actually made this a while ago, back in July actually. Since I wanted to use my calender right away, and not wait until January, I started with August. Easy to do when you are creating digitally! You can make it any way you want! For the August page, I simply cut out a few different sized butterflies with my Beautiful Wings embosslit die and Cherry Cobbler card stock and then just layered them on the printed butterflies to add a little texture and dimension. They are kind of hard to see in the photo, but they are on the first, third, and forth butterfly on the top row and the second butterfly on the second row.

Here is September's page. There are actually no hybrid elements on this page. It was fine just the way it was! :)

Here is October's page. Again, there are no hybrid elements on this page either.

Next, here is November's page. This page is one of my favorites. For this one I simply punched out a flower with my Boho Blossoms punch and Pool Party card stock. I punched out a tiny flower with my Itty Bitty Punch Shapes punch and More Mustard card stock. I distressed the flowers and then adhered them together. I then added a Basic Pearl to the center and then adhered the whole thing to the page.

Here is December's page. For this one I simply added Basic Rhinestones to the center of all the green ornaments.

January's page is similar in that I simply added Basic Rhinestones to the centers of the blue snowflakes.

Here is February's page. For this one I punched hearts out of Silver Glimmer paper using my Small Heart punch. I then just layered those on top of the printed hearts.

Here is March's page. There are actually no hybrid elements on this page.

Here is April's page. For this one I simply added some Basic Pearls to the flower that is above the P and R.

For May's page I embellished the various flowers with punches and rhinestones.

June's page does not have any hybrid elements.

July's page doesn't have any hybrid elements either and is actually the last page of my calender. I love how this calendar turned out! It is proof that it is easy to create something digitally, but still give it that handmade flair quickly and easily!

November Technique Class

2011-11-14T14:41:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Today I have the cards from my November Technique Class to share with you. First we did this card using the Thumping technique. This card is probably my favorite from the class.

Next we did a Z-fold card.

Then to top off our Thanksgiving theme, we made the Sour Cream container. Wouldn't this little favor look cute sitting on the Thanksgiving table?

Spooktacular Cookies!

2011-10-31T13:00:00.000-07:00

Have you been intrigued by the new Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps yet? Well I bought them a few weeks ago and just got around t0 trying them myself this past weekend. I made some spooktacular Halloween cookies in a snap with these stamps! I admit, I did not use the receipe that came with the stamps. Instead I just bought the premade sugar cookie dough from the store. You know the ones that come in already cut up in little squares that you just plop on a baking sheet? That is all I had time for, and I have to tell you , they turned out perfectly! I took the advice of another demonstrator and stamped these cookies right after they came out of the oven while they were still soft, rather than before. The image took beautifully! Check them out:

To make them extra yummy, I added some orange sugar sprinkles (again while they were still hot). Can't wait to try out the Christmas stamp soon! :)

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-31T07:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone is having a great Halloween! Today I wanted to share with you the cards I made for Halloween this year. I was short on time this year, so I was so happy that I had my Pick Your Poison Quick Accents. I used Basic Black card stock with these adhesive die cuts, some Basic Rhinestones, and the Wicked Cool stamp set. So quick and easy!

October Technique Class

2011-10-21T07:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Today I wanted to share with you the cards that we made at my October technique class. First, we made this card using the Faux Clouds technique. Everyone loved this card and technique!

Next we did this card using the new Peekaboo Frames die for the Big Shot.

Next we did this cute bat candy holder. This is a CASE from Shelli's blog. So cute! For the bat, we used the Petal Cone die and the Perfect Pennants die. We embossed the wings with the spider web embossing folder and used the 3/4" circle punch to make the scallops. We also decorated some nuggets using the It's a Wrap Holidays stamp set.

And last, but not least, we make this extra large matchbook treat holder. I think that this was my favorite project of the day! :)

September Technique Class

2011-10-10T07:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Today I have the cards that we made at my September Technique Class to share with you! First, we did this card using the Gingham Background technique. To achieve this, we took the stripes embossing folder and inked it up with Island Indigo ink and the brayer. Then we placed a piece of Whisper White cards stock in the folder and ran it through the Big Shot. Then we repeated the process and simply rotated the cardstock 90 degrees and ran it though the Big Shot again. Love how it turned out!

Next we did this card using the Quilling technique. I found the layout for the card on Mary Fish's blog. Super cute and simple!

Next we did this card which shows off the new Triple Treat Flower stamp and coordinating punches. This was also inspired by Mary Fish's blog. :)

For this card we also trimmed an inch off the side so that the flower kind of hangs off and the My Friend is actually stamped on the inside.

And last, but not least we did this card. We created the pleates in the Calypso Coral card stock using the new Simply Scored tool.

Pooh Bear Birthday Card

2011-10-06T07:00:00.000-07:00

OK, here it is, the last September birthday card! :) This is the card that I made for my daughter Allison which I gave to her at her birthday party. She had a Winnie the Pooh party this year, so I made her a coordinating Pooh card. I found the cute Pooh image online and printed it out. I used last years Sale-a-bration paper and Quick Accents pack on this card. The bright colors coordinated well with image.

Now that I am done with birthday cards for a while, it is time to get started on some Halloween projects. Stay tuned! :)

I know it is October, but I still have some more September birthday cards to share with you! This is the card I made for my daughter Allison which I gave to her on her actual birthday this year.

Happy October 1st!

2011-10-01T10:00:00.000-07:00

Today is October 1st. Do you know what that means? Only 31 more days until Halloween! Yippee! :) As you know, I love Halloween time. This year, I decided to make a Halloween countdown calendar. I am surprised I haven't thought of this before. I actually saw something similar in a magazine and decided to make my own using Stampin' Up! products.

For this, I used the Pick Your Poison Designer Series Paper. I adhered a sheet of the DSP to a piece of cardboard (this piece happened to be the backing for a package of our Specialty Paper). Then I punched out 31 of the scallop pennants in the First Edition paper and then used various other designs from the Pick Your Poison paper for the inside of the pennants. I then used my Calender Alphabet and Numbers set to stamp all the dates and punched them out. I cut 3 pieces of white bakers twine to stretch across the board and attached them using black glimmer brads. I then attached each pennant to the bakers twine using a mini clothes in. The 31st pennant needed a special spot on the calendar, so I added one of the Pick Your Poison Quick Accents to highlight the spot and then stuck the mini clothes pin to it using a glue dot. I then stuck a little bow made of the bakers twine to the mini clothes pin with another glue dot. So, starting today, all the pennants come off and we start adding them back on one by one until Halloween!

Birthday Greetings

2011-09-30T12:00:00.000-07:00

Between family and friends, I have more birthdays in the month of September than any other month! Today I have another birthday card to share with you (and it is not the last September birthday card either). This one I made for my friend and downline Kim. I used several of the new in colors for this - Calypso Coral, Pool Party, and Wild Wisteria. I also used a stamp from the Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set. I love how every layer of this stamp coordinates with one of our punches! :)

My daughter Allison turns 3 today! I can't believe how fast the past 3 years have gone! This weekend we are having her birthday party. This year she wanted a Pooh Bear party, so this is the invite I made for her. I found the image online, sized it just right, and then printed it out. I then layered it on Real Red and Daffodil Delight card stock. I used the Your Invited stamp from the Inviting stamp set and Real Red ink.

Happy I Do Day

Today I have the cards I made for my brother's wedding to share with you. First, here is their main card. Lots of punching and embossing on this one. The stamp is from the Word Play stamp set. I added a little bling to it by adding a rhinestone to the ring.

Since their gift was in multiple boxes, I created this little 3 x 3 card as well to go on the other box. I of course had to add the bling again on this one.

Wedding Favors

2011-09-19T07:00:00.000-07:00

Today I wanted to share with you the wedding favors I made for my brother's wedding. For these I used the Scalloped Bag (retired from SU!) die and my Big Shot to cut out 200 of these from Cherry Cobbler card stock. Then I stamped the swirly image from the Elements of Style stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. The bags tie shut with a piece of Basic Black grosgrain ribbon through two holes I punched with my crop-o-dile. I printed out their names and wedding date on my computer on Whisper White card stock and then punched them out with my oval punch. I then layered then on top of a Basic Black scalloped oval which I also punched out. The tag is attached the bag by a piece of silver cord (retired).

Here are some shots of the favors on the tables at the wedding. I think they coordinating very nicely with everything else. :) And if you look closely you can get a peek at the bride and groom taking a few pictures before all the guests entered the reception.

August Demostrator Swap

2011-09-16T07:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Today I have the cards from our August Demonstrator Swap to share with you. The theme for August was "Christmas in August". First, here is my card. I was inspired my a similar card I saw online, so I wanted to make my own. When making my card, I realized that I had thought I had ordered the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, however after looking everywhere for it, I realized I hadn't. However, I had purchased the Frostwood Lodge Digital Download for My Digital Studio so I used that instead! All the Designer Paper on this card is actually printed out using My Digital Studio! Awesome! This card also features the new Stocking Builder Punch and Christmas Lodge stamp set. Love it!

Next, here is Melinda's card. She also used the Christmas Lodge stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here is Lenore's card. She used My Digital Studio to create her card.

And last, but not least, here is Hannah's card. She also used My Digital Studio.

Ellen's Workshop

2011-09-02T07:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. This past weekend I did a workshop for a friend and I have the projects to share with you today. First, here is the hostess gift that I made for her. We received the idea and supplies for this project at Convention in our Workshop in a Bag. I was excited to get to make it for a workshop! It turned out really cute. :)

Inside the bag are 4 little thank you tags.

Next, here is one of the Make and Take projects. This was also from my Workshop in a Bag supplies. It is a cute little pocket card using the SU! Note Cards and Envelopes.

And here is the second Make and Take project.

Hi everyone! Today I have the cards from our July Demonstrator swap to share with you. The challenge this month was to create a card, scrapbook page, or 3D Project using products from the new catalog and your favorite technique. First here is my card. I CASEd something I saw on Mary Fish's blog. My technique is paper piecing.

Next, here is Melinda's card. Her card features dry embossing using one of the new embossing folders.

And last, but not least, here is Lenore's card. She created this using My Digital Studio and her technique is digital crafting.

Dino-mite!

2011-08-19T07:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you this Dyno-Mite card I made for my girls' cousin. He had a dinosaur themed birthday party this past weekend, so I figured I should make him a card to go along with the theme. Since I don't have any dinosaur stamps I decided to make a punch art dinosaur instead! I got the idea from something I found online. I really like how he turned out!

I even made a punch art pterodactyl for the inside.

Backpack Tag

2011-08-18T12:00:00.000-07:00

Today was my daughter Aimee's first day of 1st Grade. Last night I whipped up with backpack tag for her to clip on her brand new backpack for school. I created the kitty image and her name using My Digital Studio and then printed it out on Whisper White card stock. Then I punched out the image using my 2-1/2" circle punch. Next I covered the front and back of a piece on of On-board Chipboard with Concord Crush card stock using my anywhere glue stick. I then ran the chipboard through my Big Shot using the 3" circle die. I adhered the kitty piece the chipboard piece, added a sticker on the back with her name and contact information in case her backpack gets lost, added a coordinating purple binder clip, and tied on a piece of Concord Crush ribbon.

Here are some pictures of the tag on her backpack. As you can see, the backpack was the inspiration for the tag! :) I really liked how this turned out and it was super easy to do! I love My Digital Studio for super quick, easy projects!

August Technique Class

2011-08-14T08:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Today I wanted to share with you the cards we did at my August Technique Class. First we did this card using the Postage Stamp punch. Notice how there are two different sizes of postage punches here? Well that was our technique for this card. To create the smaller postage stamp, we simply reinserted the punched piece of card stock and snipped off a piece from 2 of the sides. Also, notice the flag style tail on the piece of Baja Breeze Designer Paper? That was made with the postage stamp punch as well? We just used it to snip our the triangle shape!

Next we did this card. Notice the fancy corners on this one? We did this by using the Decorative Label punch and inserting the corner of the card stock through the underside of the punch and only punching out the decorative shape.

Next we did this Telescoping card. I CASEd this from another demonstrator. This card was a big hit this month! To make this one we simply cut / punched out various sized of circles, stamped them, then attached them together with brads!

And last but not least, we did this card. This card is a CASE from my Up-Upline Julie (she always has the best ideas!). Notice the yellow pearls on the buttons? Well that was the technique for this card. We simply colored the white pearls with a yellow Sharpie! This is a super simple technique! All you need is any permanent marker and you can make your pearls any color you want! (Unfortunately Stampin' Write Markers don't work for this technique since they are water based and the color will just wipe off the pearls.)

Decor Elements Chalkboards

2011-08-13T08:00:00.000-07:00

I really love Stampin' Up!s Decor Elements. I haven't used them as much as I should. I had these two chalkboard Decor Elements for a while now, and never put them up. So I decided it was time. They are so easy to apply it took all of 5 minutes. Don't know what took me so long! Anyway, this first one is one that I got free during this years Saleabration promotion. I applied this one of the inside doors of my Hobby Hideaway (my crafting armoire).

This next one is actually 2 different Decor Elements. I first cut out a piece of the plain Decor Elements chalkboard sheets the same size as my To Do list. I applied that to the inside of the other door of my cabinet. Next I simply applied the To Do List Decor Element on top.

Now I just need to get some chalk! :)

My Digital Studio Journal

2011-08-05T07:00:00.000-07:00

Today I wanted to share a journal I made in My Digital Studio. This was so easy to make and turned out super cute! First, here is the MDS image I put together. I used the Play Date papers and embellishments:

After creating this I simply ordered it to be printed, and a few days later, I had this:

The journal is a hardback book and inside are nice ruled pages (hard to tell from this picture though):

Both the front and back inside covers are covered with coordinating Designer Series Paper:

And last, but not least, here is the back:

This is the first journal I made and had printed using My Digital Studio, and I have to say I am very impressed with the quality! How cute would something like this be for teacher's gifts?

Lauren's Shower Card

2011-08-03T07:00:00.000-07:00

My brother's fiance had her bridal shower last weekend and today I wanted to share with you the card I made for her. Her colors are red and black. For this card I used Cherry Cobbler as my red. I also made all the wedding favors for the wedding reception. I used Cherry Cobbler for those as well, so this card coordinates nicely! :) The stamp set I used is called Blissful Bride, and is retired. I didn't have any Cherry Cobbler Designer Paper on hand, so I made my own. I took some of my Presto Patterns paper (also retired) and sponged it with Cherry Cobbler ink. For extra bling, and to make the card extra special, I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and some pearls.
