All Jazzed Up!

Today is the 10th and the day we are to post our Stamp What? challenge with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me! We started this in January of 2020, so we are now well into our second year of this fun challenge.  Kelly came up with the challenge to randomly pick a Stampin' Up set and make a card with that set.  Get the dust off of those forgotten Stampin' Up sets! 

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Jazzed Up set!  The year on the stamps is 2004, so it is an oldie!

I picked the piano keys and the words, Just A Note, for the card.  The patterned paper is a sweet black and white pattern from Stamping Station called Band.  I stamped both of the wooden stamps with Hero Arts Intense black and layered with Basic Black.  I die cut the words with Sizzix Tim Holtz Stitched Squares. I added a black note brad to the mini pennant on the top! 

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the patterned paper:

I like the look of my card this month and I hope you do too.  Be sure to check out Jeanette and Kelly's cards.  I am sure they have some fun cards with those "oldies but goodies" stamp sets by Stampin' Up!  And be sure to check back every month on the 10th to see what we create!

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Lifecycle set!  The year on the stamps is 2005, so it is an oldie!

I first picked out the patterned paper so help in deciding where this card will go.  The paper is a very fun pattern from Authentique called Seasons--Summer Three.  I die cut this layer with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 4.  The image was stamped on Crumb Cake and I colored some parts to match the patterned paper with my Copic Sketch Markers.  A few Vintage Shimmer Pearls from Studio Katia complete the card.

For The Love of Chocolate

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the For The Love of Chocolate set!  The year on the stamps is 2002, so it will be 20 years old next year.  This is one set I will never part with!

I stamped the huge candy Kiss with Basic Gray and fussy cut it out.  I layered it on a circle I die cut from Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitched Circles.  The patterned paper in the background is from a Stampin' Up 6x6 pack called Have A Cuppa--I love the the tiny hearts.  There is a layer of Bindakote Silver Cardstock to give the card a bit of shine!  I added some silver elastic cording under one of the sentiments from the same set.   A few Taylored Expressions Black Drip Drops complete the card.  

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the patterned paper:

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Kind and Caring Thoughts set!  There is not a year on this set, but I am sure it is more than 10 years old--and it is still one of my favorite stamp sets to use!

I picked a background that is in my basket that I made in some virtual class this past year.  I cannot remember which class or exactly how it was made--I probably should be writing some notes on these so I can recreate.  I know I used a embossing folder and then scored some lines across and horizontally--like planks of wood.  I think I used Distress Inks on it too.  I stamped the main image in Marina Mist and the sentiment is in Night of Navy.   A few white pearls complete the card.

Wild About You

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Wild About You set!  The year on the stamp set is 2006--only 15 years old!

I decided the images would be perfect with a slimline card.  I stamped the images with three colorful Stampin' Up inks.  The slimline card and triple square window, along with the gold metallic layer are all from The Paper Cut in Appleton, WI.  I punched out the Wild About You sentiment and a gold scallop layer from my long retired Stampin' Up Punches.   A few white enamel dots complete the card.

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Kind and Caring Thoughts set!  There is not a year listed on this set, so it must be a newer one--but it still is a wood set.

I  decided the image would be perfect with a mini-slimline card.  Two posts in a row with a slimline card!  I stamped the image in Pear Pizzazz and wish it had better coverage of the ink.  I also stamped one of the sentiments from the set in the same ink on Pear Pizzazz.  I again used a set of Taylored Expressions Mini-Slim dies--this time the Stitched Dies.  A few clear drip drops complete the card.  

Here is the inside of my card:

For The Love of Chocolate

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the For The Love of Chocolate set!  This is also an older set as the year 2006 is on the box. I started stamping in 2004 and I remember buying this set used a few years later.  It is such a "sweet" set.

I embossed the set of truffles on ivory cardstock and colored the small parts with my Copic Markers.  I also embossed the sentiment.  I cut all of the layers of ivory and Early Espresso from my Memory Box Wrapped Rectangle Dies. I embossed the back panel with Stampin' Up Hammered Metal Embossing powder.   I added some pearls to the center of the flowers.  

I like the look of my card this month and I hope you do too.  Be sure to check out Jeanette and Kelly's cards.  I am sure they have some fun cards with those "oldies but goodies" stamp sets by Stampin' Up!  And be sure to check back every month on the 10 to see what we create!

Close as a Memory

Today is the 10th and the day we are to post our  Stamp What? challenge with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me! We started this in January of 2020, so we are now starting our second year of this fun challenge.  Kelly came up with the challenge to randomly pick a Stampin' Up set and make a card with that set.  Get the dust off of those forgotten Stampin' Up sets! 

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked the Close as a Memory set!  This is also an older set as the year 2006 is on the box.  

I  also decided to go old school when inking up the image and pulled out 2 of my very old Stampin' Up write markers!  I am not sure the last time I used any of them and I still have most of the colors.  I used my Brocade Blue marker to color the blooms and a Gumball Green to color the stems and leaves.  I then spritzed water on the stamp before placing on a piece of watercolor cardstock to get a muted, soft look.  I no longer have a Brocade Blue ink pad, so I used the same marker on the sentiment and "huffed" the stamp before placing it on the cardstock.  I really liked the look of the  first card, so I decided to make two more!   I cut two of the panels with a Memory Box Matinee Rectangle Layered die. I embossed the back panel with three different embossing folders and they are listed below.   I added some pearls to the center of the flowers.  

I like the look of my cards this month and I hope you do too.  Be sure to check out Jeanette and Kelly's cards.  I am sure they have some fun cards with those "oldies but goodies" stamp sets by Stampin' Up!  And be sure to check back every month on the 10 to see what we create!

Stamp What-Silent Night

Today is 12th month of the Stamp What? challenge with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me! Kelly came up with the challenge to randomly pick a Stampin' Up set and make a card with that set.  Get the dust off of those forgotten Stampin' Up sets! 

I decided when this group challenge started to only use the wooden Stampin' Up stamps that are on my bottom shelves.  So this month, I randomly picked a Christmas set called Silent Night!  This is also an older set as the year 2005 is on the box.  It is also one of my favorite Christmas sets from any company and I might have made a few cards from the set!

I decided I wanted to try some of the numerous embossing powders I have on this card.  I picked Night of Navy as the base color and use a few different colors--clear, black, white, silver, and some with sparkle.  I also was a able to toss out a few tubs as they did not stick at all.  The one I highlighted as a single card was using black embossing powder.  I add a layer of black glossy cardstock behind the image and behind the card front.  I used glossy cardstock on all of the other cards too.  I also embossing the card layer base with a few different embossing folders for a bit of dimension.  I did not add any thing else as an embellishment, as I wanted the image to be the focal point!

I like the look of my card this month and I hope you do too.  Be sure to check out Jeanette and Kelly's cards.  I am sure they have some fun cards with those "oldies but goodies" stamp sets by Stampin' Up!  And, we will continue in 2021, so we will be dusting off more of our stamp sets!
