Above the Clouds

Today I'm sharing one of the card designs I did for a recent New Catalog Swap I participated in (thanks Barbara W. for hosting).  I loved this set as soon as I saw it - and knew I had to get it; especially thinking it would make a great graduation card with this sentiment.  So for this card - the square of blue was made by stamping my "D" acrylic block directly onto my Seaside Spray (one of our new in-colors) pad - then spritzing it with a little water, and pressing it down on my card base.  You can see each one turned out a little differently.
After that was done and dry - I stamped the little balloons right onto the card base overlapping that blue sky; and colored them with our markers.  I stamped the large balloon and basket onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, colored and punched out with our new Hot Air Balloon punch.  You can find this bundle on page 89 of our new 2019 Annual Catalog.  Then I added the sentiment and popped up the large balloon on dimensionals - added a little bling in the air and I was done.
If you don't have our new catalog and would like one - just drop me an email at crazystampinglady@gmail.com.  They are free for porch pick-up; or $7 for mailing, but you will get a $7 off coupon for your first purchase - so it will end up being free.  This catalog is amazing and filled with lots of creative inspiration!  I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and creative coach.

SF May 2019 Father's Day Blog Hop!

Lasts month I shared about missing my Mom on Mother's day - well the same goes for Father's day.  My dad passed away 42 years ago, and I still think of him so often and with loving memories.  I was so blessed with two wonderful parents.  But I still have some awesome fathers in my life - my hubby and my two sons-in-law, Robert and Aaron.  Blessed yet again!  My project today was mostly inspired by and for my husband, Paul.  He worked for Harley-Davidson for many years before our retirement - and has always had a love of fine motorcycles!
First the card - this was made with our retiring set - One Wild Ride.  I really hate to see this set go, and am sure I will hold on to my personal set for quite a while, as it is an awesome set.  I just repeated the motorcycle image for the background, stamping on full one toward the center as a bit of a focal point.  To direct your eyes in toward the motorcycle, I did add some texture to the edge with a stamp from the set - using gray and giving it a bit of a border.
You can see how I finished the envelope above and the inside of the card below.  I also used the "Happy Father's Day" image from our current sent - Geared Up Garage that will be returning in the 2019 Annual catalog.  Also a great, masculine set, and the ribbon from that coordinating suite of products - which unfortunately is retiring. 
As my 3D project I choose to make a coordinating little treat box using the 2-4-6-8 box pattern here - (sorry a bit blurry if you need it better - let me know and I can email to you) -
This box will be filled with pistachios, as those are Paul's favorite.
Everything is adhered to the front of the box with snail - except, I popped up the motorcycle on dimensionals.  I am now thinking what a cute favor this would have made for his retirement party - but alas - I did not think of that then, lol!
I hope you enjoyed these projects and got some inspiration for creating some special items for the fathers in your life.  I would love it, if you would leave me a comment below.  Don't forget to click through on each name below to see even more wonderful Posts with a Father's Day theme.  See you soon with more ideas! ~Maureen

More Occasions Catalog Fun!

So I am simply in love with this beautiful stamp set from page 13 of our new Occasions catalog.  Beauty Abounds is a wonderful name for it - and those BUBBLE images - wow!  Took me only a few minutes to make this beautiful set of notecards - and the impact is amazing.  This notecard size is perfect for this image and these layers.
After stamping the bubble image a few times back and forth (note this image gives you all those different depths of colors with one inking) - I took my Momento Black and stamped the flourish image right over the top of the bubbles - then added the "hello".
Next I took the coordinating marker color and colored in just the flowers to really make them the focal point.  After that, all it took was a few gems and some colored layers on black (which really make the layers stand out) and voila - all done!   These would make a great gift set for a friend, and I can always use "hello" cards!
Hope you got some inspiration for #simplestamping here.  You can check out our catalogs online to see all the great products, as well as what you can qualify for free through March 31, 2019 during Sale-a-bration.
