Time 4 Stamping

FB Live Recap: Simply Stamped Snow Front

The Snow Front stamp set has so many pretty images in it and is great for making lovely winter scene Christmas cards. But who says it has to be limited to Christmas cards? I’m one of those crazy people who enjoys winter and snow, and here in Michigan, we’ve been having a pretty snowy week. It reminded me of this stamp set and that pretty winter scenes don’t have to be limited to the holidays.

One of the things I love about this stamp set is that there are a variety of images so you can make your winter scene as elaborate as you want, adding deer or a snowman, a cabin, mountains, pine trees, or bare trees. Or keep it simple with just a couple of trees, a snow mound, and a cabin. Switch up the design every time you use it!

Besides making the card, I used this set to make a treat box for “Snowcaps” candy. I hope you enjoyed these projects – if you missed the video, you can watch the replay here!

I am on my group page, Friends Who Like Time4 Stamping, every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET where I make a few projects or demonstrate a technique. I hope you will follow me there and share my videos on your Facebook timeline.

To make the card, you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Seaside Spray – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Misty Moonlight – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Second Layer: Basic White – 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″, cut two

For the Box you will need:

Box Bottom: Misty Moonlight – 7 7/8″ x 4 3/4″, score at 3/4″ on all four sides
Lid: Misty Moonlight – 8″ x 4 7/8″, score at 3/4″ on all four sides
Stamped Layer: Basic White – 6″ 1/4″ x 3 1/8″

I have listed the products I used for these projects. I also used a 1/2″ circle punch. If you need any of the items listed below, you can shop with me here.

Game On Skittles Treat Box

I’m loving the Game On stamp set! I used it to create two cards and a box to hold playing cards on my Facebook Live video this week, and here I have created a Skittles treat box to share with you. Somewhere in the back of my mind where all the trivia answers hide, I remembered that there is a bowling-type game called “skittles.” What better candy to make a Game On treat box with than Skittles!

The box is a “pizza” style box, or some call it a hinged box. Whatever you call it, it’s easy to make and you can decorate it however you like!

Cut cardstock:

Box: Early Espresso – 9 7/8″ x 7 7/8″, Score the long side at 1 1/8″, 4 3/8″, 5 1/2″, 8 3/4″, Score the short side at 1 1/8″ & 6 3/4″
First Layer: Basic White – 5 3/8″ x 3″
Second Layer: In Good Taste DSP – 5 1/4″ x 2 7/8″
Stamped Image: Basic White – 4″ x 3″
Red Label Shapes: Cherry Cobbler – 3″ x 2″
Greeting: Basic White – 2 3/4″ 1/2″

Assembly:

Fold box on all score lines. Cut score lines up to the first score line to form the small tabs. I find it easier to cut just a tiny wedge from the sides of the tabs to make the corners lie smoother when you assemble the box. Use a 1/2″ circle punch to punch out a half-circle on one side to make it easier to open the box.

Apply tear & Tape or Multipurpose glue to the tabs to form the box.

Adhere the 5 3/8″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock to the box top. Layer the DSP on top of this.

Stamp the chess piece image to the 4″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Color some of the chess pieces with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends marker. Crop the piece with the label die from the tasteful Labels dies. Adhere to the box top with dimensionals, placing it slightly higher than center. See photo for placement.

Crop two small flags from the Tasteful Labels dies using Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Adhere to the box top at the sides of the stamped image piece. You may have to trim the flat ends of the flags a bit to make sure they don’t stick out from the edge of the box.

Use Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the greeting onto the 1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Trim the ends as desired and use dimensionals to adhere to the box top.

If you missed my Facebook Live making the other three projects with this stamp set, you can catch the replay here!

The products I used for this project are listed below. If you would like to purchase anything, you can shop with me here.

I also used a 1/2″ circle punch to complete this project. (I purchased the Skittles box at Walmart!)

FB Live Recap: Game On!

For my Facebook Live video this week, I used the Game On stamp set that’s in the current annual catalog. I purchased this set last spring when the catalog first came out, but this is the first time I used it. I must say, it is fun to work with – and I love the images!

Watercolored Hydrangea Haven

Last week on my Facebook Live video I created three cards with the Hydrangea Haven bundle and coordinating DSP. This set is so pretty and I just love using it! This is one of those sets that I would highly recommend purchasing if you don’t already have it. The images are beautiful, and when combined with the lovely Hydrangea Hill Designer Paper, you will easily make gorgeous cards.

Here is another card I created using gold embossing and watercoloring the flowers and leaves. And you know I LOVE the new Pastel Pearls, so of course, I added some to this card!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Gorgeous Grape – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer (front): Hydrangea Hill DSP – 5 1/4″ x 4″; For Inside: – Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Third Layer: Gorgeous Grape – 3 3/8″ x 3 3/8
Stamped Layer: Basis White – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
Decorative Flags: Hydrangea Hill DSP – 1″ x 1/2″; Gorgeous Grape – 3/4″ x 1 1/4″
Inside Bottom Strips: Gorgeous Grape – 4 1/8″ x 1 1/4″; Hydrangea Hill DSP – 4″ x 1″

Assembly:

Adhere one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock to the card front, then layer the large piece Hydrangea Hill DSP (small flowers) on top.

Use Versamark to stamp the flower image onto the 3 1/4″ square piece of Basic White cardstock, sprinkle with gold embossing powder, and set with heat tool.

Color the leaves and stem with Old Olive ink using a Blender Pen or Water Painter brush. Color the flower using Highland Heather ink, then add touches of Gorgeous Grape and Misty Moonlight ink. Since this is cardstock and not watercolor paper, remember to go lightly with the watercoloring so the cardstock doesn’t degrade! I place a little of the ink on an acrylic block and pick up the color from there with the Water Painter brush. Adhere this to the 3 3/8″ square piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock, then attach to card front with dimensionals.

Flag one end of the Gorgeous Grape and Hydrangea Hill DSP strips and use seal or glue to attach to the card front, tucking ends under the stamped image piece. Refer to photo for placement.

Tie a small bow with the Gorgeous grape ribbon and attach it to the card front over the stem with a couple of small glue dots.

Inside:

Adhere the remaining large piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Gorgeous Grape ink to stamp a sentiment onto the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock. I used a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Use Versamark to stamp the small flower image onto the upper right corner of this piece, sprinkle with gold embossing powder, and set with heat tool. Watercolor the flowers as you did for the flowers on the card front. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Adhere the gorgeous Grape and DSP strips to the bottom of the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Stamp the small flower image using Versamark to the lower-left corner of the envelope, sprinkle with gold embossing powder, and set with heat tool. Watercolor the flowers as you did for the inside.

If you didn’t see the video last week using this set, you can view it here. I’m on my group page every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET demonstrating a project or two. I hope you will join me when it fits your schedule! You can always go back and watch the replay.

FB Live Recap: Friendly Flamingos

For my Facebook Live video this week, I pulled out the Friendly Flamingo Bundle again and created a birthday card and thank-you card. I wanted to use the Flower and Field DSP that is a free item during Sale-a-bration and I thought the flamingos were a perfect focal point.

I did have a little help designing the projects from our new puppy, Bentley. He just turned 9 weeks old and as puppies do, demands a lot of attention.

Just a reminder, Sale-a-bration continues through the end of February. You can earn free products with either a $50 or $100 purchase! Purchases can be from the large annual catalog, the January-June mini-catalog, the online clearance rack, or any combination of those. View the Sale-a-bration brochure here.

For the Birthday card you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Flirty Flamingo – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Basic White – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Flower and Field Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Ornate Frame: Basic White – 3 3/4″ x 2 1/4″
Flower and Greeting: Scraps of Basic White
Flamingo: Love You Always Foil Sheets Rococo Rase – 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″
Inside Strip: Flower and Field – 4″ x 1/2″

For the Thank-you Card, the following cardstock is needed:

Card Base: Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First layer: Flirty Flamingo – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Flower and Field Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two, then cut each diagonally (this will give you enough for two cards)
Flamingo: Basic White – 4″ x 3″

FB Live Recap: Flamingo Hello

For my Facebook Live video this week, I had every intention of showing you several projects with the new Friendly Flamingo bundle – however, as we all know, sometimes life gets in the way of good intentions!

At least this time, what “got in the way” of my preparing projects this week was my belated Christmas present, this sweet little bundle of fur! We named him Bentley – he just turned eight weeks old, weighs 2 pounds, and he is such a joy!

That being said, I did manage to get one project done, combining the Friendly Flamingo bundle and the Timeless Tropical stamp set. This bright and cheery card was designed to send just to keep in touch with someone, but it could easily be made into a birthday card as well – just switch the greeting and sentiment.

To make this card you will need the following cardstock pieces:

Card Base: Basic White 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Pool Party – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8′, cut two
Embossed Layer: Pool Party – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Leaves and Vines: Scraps of Granny Apple Green
Flamingo, Flowers, and Greeting: Scraps of basic White
Inside Layer: Basic White – 5 1/5″ x 4″

The products I used for this card are listed below. If you would like to purchase any of them you can shop with me here.

Darling Donkey Valentine

This week on my Facebook Live video, I used the free Darling Donkeys stamp set to make three very different cards, including a Valentine and a fun-fold card. It’s such a cute stamp set that I couldn’t resist making another Valentine card with it!

To be honest, I usually don’t send many Valentine’s cards, but with everyone still pretty much staying at home due to the pandemic, I will be sending out more Valentines this year.

With Sale-a-bration in full swing now, the Darling Donkeys stamp set is one of the free products that you can choose to receive with any $50 order. Who can resist these cuties?

If you missed the cards I made on my video, you can watch the replay here.

Besides the Free Darling Donkey stamp set, I also used the free Oh So Ombre Designer Paper to create this card – it is Oh So Pretty! I love how the pretty paper sets off the simple heart designs. Here’s the card – I hope you like it!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Magenta Madness – 8 1/2″ x5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Basic White – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Oh So Ombre (Rococo Rose) – 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ cut one each of the solid and printed
Scalloped Hearts: Love you Always Foil Sheets (Rococo Rose) – 5 ” x 2 1/4″
Donkey and Greeting: Scraps of Basic White

Assembly:

Layer the two pieces of Oh So Ombre DSP side by side onto one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Attach a length of Blushing Bride Shimmer Ribbon to this piece, covering the seam where the DSP meets.

Punch out two hearts from the Rococo Rose Foil sheet using the scalloped heart punch.

Using Memento ink, stamp the sitting donkey onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Use Magenta Madness ink to stamp the tiny heart from the Heartfelt stamp set under the donkey’s ear. Color the donkey with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends markers. Stamp the heart outline, greeting, and tiny heart from the Heartfelt stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Use the heart punch to punch out the donkey’s head and the heart.

Layer the cardstock with the DSP and ribbon onto the card base. Use dimensionals to attach the stamped hearts onto the foil hearts, then use dimensionals to attach these to the center of the card front. Refer to photo for placement. Note- if you prefer to have the stamped hearts flat onto the foil hearts, use multipurpose glue to attach them as any tape runner adhesive usually doesn’t stick well onto foil.

Inside:

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Meant To Be stamp set and the tiny hearts from the Heartfelt stamp set onto the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Attach the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Use magenta Madness ink to stamp a couple of tiny hearts to the lower-left corner of the envelope.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you need these or any other items, you can shop with me here.

FB Live Recap: Three Cards with Darling Donkey

I used the sweet new Darling Donkey stamp set to create these three cards for my Facebook Live video this week. The images are perfect for the fun fold ‘Flip-Flap’ card. I also thought to use one of cute donkeys to deliver a Valentine message. This stamp set is a free Sale-a-bration item which is available through the end of February. (You can view the new mini-catalog here and the Sale-a-bration brochure here.)

Be sure to check back here later this week for another Valentine card using the Darling Donkeys stamp set!
