Everybunny Easter Watercolor Card

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a watercolor technique challenge. With Easter a few weeks awayI used the Everybunny stamp set to create this card. I used blender pens and stamp pads to color the bunny image. I stamped it with black StayzOn then colored away. I used a bright color combination of Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Concord Grape. I apologize for the photo. My camera is still out for repair and had to take the photo with my iPhone. The colors don’t show up true.

Everybunny Easter Treat

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

I’m so excited that spring is almost here! In anticipation I created this adorable pillow box and card for Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge. A perfect treat to put in an Easter basket or to give just as is. The challenge this week is a color challenge. Create any paper crafting project with the colors of Real Red, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Daffodil Delight.

I used the new Easter stamp set, Everybunny, featured in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. This set has so many cute stamps perfect for Easter. I made the box using the Pillow Box die. I stamped the hot air balloon image on Crumb Cake with Soft Suede and Versamark then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I used a blender pen to add color to the bunny and the balloon. I then cut out the image and for a finishing touch I used Dazzling Details on the balloon. I punched the flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack then embellished with rhinestones. I stamped the sentiment on Daffodil Delight and tied hemp twine around the box. The 3″ x 3″ card was so easy to make. I embossed the Daffodil Delight layer with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. The chick image I stamped then clear embossed and punched with the 1-3/8″ circle. The flower layer is punched with the Fancy Flower punch.

I hope you’re inspired to join us over at Hand Stamped Sentiments. We’d love to see your creation.

Color Blocking with a Mixed Bunch

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a color blocking technique challenge. Color blocking can be achieved by using blocks of color. You can create this technique with ink and stamps or with paper and dies. My color blocking technique is achieved with die cut flowers made with the Blossom punch and stamped with the Mixed Bunch stamp set. I wanted to focus on color so I made a clean and simple card with a Whisper White card base and layer. Each flower is embellished with a rhinestone. The flowers are stamped tone on tone.

I hope you’re inspired to join us this week at HHS and show us how you use this wonderful technique.

Happy Valentine’s Day…You’re just my type!

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

Today is Valentine’s Day and I wish you love! This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a Valentine’s day Challenge. I love the old fashion typewriter image in the Established Elegance set but I also love all the sentiments in the ‘You’re my Type’ set so I combined both.

click image to enlarge

I was going for a vintage feel and used Cherry Cobbler with Very Vanilla. For a bit of sparkle I used the Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler on the embossed background. I also punched the hearts from red glitter paper. The label framelits are fast becoming one of my favorites. I love all the different sizes. The paper in the typewriter looks like it’s coming up from the rollers because I cut a notch at the paper holder on the typewriter and put the paper behind it.

I hope you’re inspired to join us this week and spread the love by posting you’re Valentine project at HSS.

Dreamy Owl Easel card

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a color challenge of Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy and Neutral (Crumb Cake, Whisper White or Very Vanilla). When I saw these colors together a cute dreamy owl came to mind. As mentioned in my earlier post, my latest addiction are easel cards. For this card I used the large Circle Scallop die to die cut the base in Marina Mist. I also used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and punch. I stamped the Very Vanilla with Marina Mist and Not Quite Navy to create the backgrounds. I used the Owl Builder, Two Step Bird, Blossom, Punch Pack and Modern Label punches. For some dreamy shimmer I smooched my card with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch. I went overboard with the pearls but I think it made my card. The sentiment is stamped with Not Quite Navy and heat embossed with Iridescent embossing powder.

I hope these colors inspire you to create a project and post it on Hand Stamped Sentiments. Check out the projects from our very talented design team for more inspiration.

Enchanted Butterfly Easel Cards

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

Okay, I admit it. I’m totally in love with the Everyday Enchantment DSP in the Sale-a-bration catalog. The colors of Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade are…do I dare say, so enchanting! I can’t stop creating with these colors and paper. Today my man in brown delivered my latest stash from Stampin’ Up! With this order I received the Beautiful Butterflies Stampin’ Up! Bigz Die. This is not a new die but it’s one that’s been on my wish list and I finally purchased it. My latest card addiction is making easel cards so I created a small butterfly and large butterfly easel card. I’m making the smaller one for my customers and the larger one is for me. I’m putting it on my desk. I think it would add a bit whimsy and color to my office. What do you think?

A Valentine gift from the Heart

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

After weeks of anticipation, it’s finally here–Sale-A-Bration is now in full swing! During Sale-A-Bration 2012, you can earn free products in three different ways.

To celebrate Sale-a-bration I’ve been creating projects with some of the products in the Sale-a-bration catalog. This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments the challenge is gift items. With Valentine’s just around the corner I made this heart box using the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper which you can earn with a $50 purchase.

click to enlarge

I used the Heart Framelits to create the box and I embellished it it with quill roses and butterflies die cut from the Beautiful Wi Sizzlit. To make this box I adapted the tutorial from SCS. I love the colors in the Everyday Enchantment DngsSP – Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede. These colors are so pretty together.

click to enlarge

I added some extra sparkle to the roses with Dazzling Details and embellished with basic pearls. The sentiment and the heart on the sentiment are embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. To make this a sweet gift I filled the box with Hershey’s kisses.

Sea of Love Valentine Card

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

How these days in January make me long for the beach. I guess I shouldn’t complain since the weather here has been sunny and in the 70’s but I just can’t help thinking of long summer days at the beach. This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a beach theme but I still have Valentine’s day on the brain. So when I began to think of what to create for this challenge I thought of the sea…love…Eureka!!…The Sea of Love! So here’s my interpretation of this week’s beach theme challenge.

Sea of Love Fish Punch Art Valentine Card

click image to enlarge

I used the Lots of Love Letterpress plate for the background. I inked it up with Versamark then ran it through the Big Shot and to add sparkle I heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped in Indigo Blue and also heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

click image to enlarge

I hope you can see how the Sea of Love shimmers with the Iridescent Ice. The fish are made with various Stampin’ Up! heart punches. I couldn’t resist the wiggle eyes. The sand is Crumb Cake card stock sponged with Soft Suede ink. This card would be perfect to give to your hubby or wife. Either way love is in the air or rather the sea.

Valentine Easel Shaker Card

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a technique challenge – Shaker Cards! I’ve never made this type of card but since I have the Stampin’ Up! Heart Framelits it was easy to make using two different sizes of heart dies to make the red heart frame for the window. For the easel base I used the large scallop heart framelit. The cute stamped image is from the Take it to Heart stamp set featured in the new occasions mini. Can you guess how I created the background? I used the Lots of Love Letterpress plate. The letter press embosses and can also ink at the same time. For a more subtle background you don’t have to ink it up. The shaker heart is filled with the scrap small hearts after using the Pinking Hearts border punch. A bit of mica flakes is also mixed with the small hearts to add some additional sparkle.

Shaker cards are fun to make but also fun for the recipient. I hope you’re inspired to join us. For more inspiration go to HSS and see more shaker cards created by our talented design team.
