Hi there! I’m sorry for my extended absence! I have been sick sick sick over here at the casa de Naber! Yuck!!! Thankfully, I’m finally feeling on the mend and was very excited to get back into my stamp room and create for you! Check out my card using the super cute, Baby Prints Stamp Set! This one is an oldie but a goodie, debuting about a year ago and ending up in our fantastic 2013-2014 Annual Catalog! I used the sketch from the As You See It Challenge Blog and a color combo perfect for a baby boy from over at Cupcake Inspirations!
This card came together pretty quickly! I stamped the feet in Soft Sky ink, then stamped the splatters from Gorgeous Grunge over the top in Pear Pizzazz. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to insure perfect placement of my sentiment which I stamped in Pear Pizzazz. You’ll notice the sketch has a banner below it – I totally planned to do that until I was assembling my final card which is when I realized my focal point was so large there wasn’t room for the sentiment below it! So technically, I stamped the sentiment last! 🙂 Had I known this would be an issue, I would’ve “stamped off” the Pear Pizzazz splatters before stamping them onto my project so the sentiment would stand out even more. As it was, the splatters were done full strength so I actually left my handy Stamp-a-ma-jig handle where it was after stamping the sentiment the first time and stamped it again, in exactly the same spot, to make it just a tad darker! Maybe that’s a new trick for you! It’s like the opposite of stamping off! Double inking let’s call it!
Anyway, I cut it out with the 4th largest Square framelit and then used the largest Square framelit that is scalloped to make a smaller scalloped square. I’ll have to make a video for that soon! I’ll insert it into this post when I do! I just cut the square that mats that one to be a tiny bit larger. Then I took a piece of Pear Pizzazz Core’dinations Cardstock (from the Subtles Collection Pack) measuring 1-1/2″ x 5″ and flagged the ends (I wanted a super shallow “V” or I would’ve just used the Banner Framelits Dies from the Occasions catalog.) Then I sanded it down to reveal some of that lighter inner core. I took the Gold Baker’s Twine and peeled the gold striping off of it (super easy to do) to reveal the Vanilla twine underneath! Wrapped this around the banner piece, tied a bow and attached it to the rest of the card! The layer I attached it to is a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and embossed in the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the Alphabet Embossing Folder (one of my favorites)! I attached that to a Soft Sky base measuring 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ that I scored at 4-1/4″. The sanded banner piece was popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the main focal point was popped up with double Stampin’ Dimensionals to reach the embossed piece and just one layer of Stampin’ Dimensionals where it was adhered to the sanded banner piece.
I hope you like it! It would be SUPER simple to make this card into a great girl or gender neutral card too!!! It’s a great sketch, so please play along with us over at the As You See It Challenge Blog! You have until Wednesday evening to get your entry in! Come check out what the other Design Team members have made too!!!
Hi there! I hope you’re having a great start to your weekend! Today I have a SUPER fun project to share with you using LOTS of new goodies!!! This card uses a stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Catalog, Starburst Sayings, as well as the matching Starburst Framelits Dies. Of course, Stampin’ Up! is being amazing and offering bundles again so you can get the stamp set and framelits at a 15% discount.
I also used the same Designer Series Paper as my project yesterday – the new Sale-A-Bration offering, Sweet Sorbet DSP. Starting January 31, 2014, you’ll be able to get this package of fantastic DSP for free with a $50 purchase! Oh yay! I also used the same twine too that is from the SAB Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack. AND…a BRAND NEW Sale-A-Bration Decorative Dots embossing folder too!!! Could this year’s Sale-A-Bration get any better?!?
I’m sure you also noticed my piece of 3″ x 4-1/2″ Core’dinations cardstock (can I even make a project without it?) that I cut the starburst shape out of using the 2nd smallest Starburst Framelits Die. Then I embossed and then sanded with the Stampin’ Sanding Block to reveal that lighter inner core. *TIP: Remember to do all of your cutting with framelits or other dies before you emboss. Otherwise the embossing will be flattened because of running the embossed piece through the machine without its folder. I then glued it down with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a piece of 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ Basic Black Cardstock. A 3/4″ x 4-3/4″ strip of my favorite pattern from the Sweet Sorbet DSP is layered over the top. I tied a bow of the Crisp Cantaloupe twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack over the top of the DSP and glued it down to the Whisper White Note Card base (they come pre-cut and pre-scored with matching envelopes…easy peasy!).
I stamped the “Thank You So Much” stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and used the matching framelit to cut it out (the smallest one). *TIP: I actually stamped this first and ran it through the Big Shot at the same time as the Core’dinations piece with the 2nd smallest framelit. I try to always run all of my framelits for one project through at the same time if possible to save time! Super easy, especially with the Magnetic Platform to hold each piece in place. I layered that onto a circle of Gold Foil Sheet punched out with the 1-3/8″ Circle Punch. Finally, I cut a Stampin’ Dimensional in half and put one half on the top and one half on the bottom then stuck it onto the card! *TIP: Placing your dimensionals so they adhere straight to the card (not the twine) will insure that everything lays flat. If the dimensionals were on top of the twine, then the focal point may bow around the twine a bit. Not too big of a deal, but just a little idea to add that extra professional look to your projects.

I just love this card that I CASEd for my Winter Stamp-a-Stack Class this past week, but I have NO idea who I got the idea from…sorry! So so so pretty!!! It uses a very simple color scheme and the beautiful Core’dinations card stock. I tell you what, putting it through the Big Shot in an embossing folder, then sanding with our Stampin’ Sanding Block to reveal that lighter core is like magic! Also, I think I didn’t quite re-ink my Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad enough, so when I stamped it was a bit blotchy. The Blender Pens are a quick fix when used with the ink you squeeze on the lid. I’ll make a video showing you what I mean very soon!
