Spring into the Occasions - More Camp Cards

Today I wanted to share a few of the other camp cards I'm teaching in April.  I already shared the two fancy fold cards a few days back.  These are the "traditional" cards that will accompany those fancy folds.  I wanted my crafting friends to see that there were complex and straightforward ideas for our stamp sets and papers. 

For this first one, I was inspired by a brief view of Tami White.  She showed how you get the light background on the patterned balloons by stamping them off.  I took that one step further and stamped a solid Curry balloon first and then stamped it again.  Then I did the striped balloon second at full strength so it has two shades with one ink pad.  I also changed the final sample I'm teaching to use the largest square Stitched Shape Framelit for the Whisper White piece.

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Whisper White, Party Animal DSP (retiring)
• Ink: Crushed Curry
• Stamp Set: Balloon Adventures (retiring)
• Big Shot: None
• Accessories: White Baker's Twine, Triple Banner Punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Scissors, Adhesive

The second sample features the Tasty Treats DSP and Cool Treats stamp set.  Excited to see this stamp set and framelit are sticking around even though the bundle and the paper is retiring, along with all the embellishments.  Don't miss out on this one either!  For the washi tape, I took a 3/8 strip of Whisper White and put the washi tape on it.  Then I mounted that on the card so the tape would show up brightly against the white.  A cool little trick whenever you are working with the washi tapes.

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Watermelon Wonder (retiring), Tasty Treats DSP (retiring)
• Ink: Pear Pizzazz
• Stamp Set: Cool Treats
• Big Shot: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Cutting Mats, Frozen Treats Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits
• Accessories: White Baker's Twine, Tasty Treats Washi Tape (retiring), Dimensionals, Scissors, Glue Dots, Adhesive

GOING, GOING, GONE

I'm pretty bummed that the Balloon Adventures set is being retired - it's so versatile.  You can see what supplies and stamp sets are being retired by visiting my online store!

Fancy Folds for Spring

Just hopping in to share two of the fancy fold cards I'm teaching on April 22nd.  These cards are paired up with simple cards using the same stamp sets and papers to offer two different ideas for each group of products. 

These two cards were based on designs by Ronda Wade that were shared via Creative Corner.  Come back tomorrow to view the cards I made to accompany them.

The first uses the Balloon Adventures stamp set and the Party Animal Designer Series Paper.

Check out how to make it here:

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Pacific Point, Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Party Animal DSP
• Ink: Emerald Envy and Pacific Point
• Stamp Set: Balloon Adventures
• Big Shot: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and Cutting Pads, Stitched Shapes Framelits
• Accessories: Balloon Punch, Crumb Cake Marker, Adhesive, Dimensionals, Tear and Tape

 

The second card features the Cool Treats suite which is my absolute favorite, though I'm pretty sure I call it Tasty Treats all through the video.

See how I made it here:

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Tasty Treats DSP
• Ink: Crumb Cake and Watermelon Wonder

Keeping Birthdays Quick and Easy

When trying to name a card that is both quick and easy and perfect for the party animal in your life, you have to be very careful how you label the post....  Lesson learned!  Today's card is super fast and will work great for any gender because everyone loves cake, right? 

This is my ice breaker card for my workshop today.  I always try to have a straightforward warm up card to get everyone in the crafting mood.  For this card, you simply stamp the Designer Tee message on the Whisper White and punch it out using your Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I pre-stamped the Tangerine Tango cake so my ink pad wouldn't get the colors mixed.  My crafting friends cut that out and mounted it on the Whisper White.  Then you mount a piece of 3 x 4 Party Animal Designer Series Paper on Crumb Cake.  Add your stamped image in the center using dimensionals.  Add a 6" piece of the Sending Love Whisper White ribbon and adhere on the back of the Crumb Cake.  Then thread a second piece through the first and tie once and trim for the bow.  Add to the Tangerine Tango card using adhesive or dimensionals!

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Party Animal DSP
• Ink: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango
• Stamps: Designer Tee (SAB)
• Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats & Platform, Stitched Shapes, Adhesive, Sending Love 1/8 Whisper White Ribbon, Scissors, Dimensionals
