So Charming!

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments it’s all about being charmed. So I decided to create a stamped insert for my Simply Adorned charm. I also created a matching gift card. Wouldn’t this set be perfect for gift! I used the Charming stamp set to create the insert and the gift card. For the Simply Adorned charm I stamped the medallion in Poppy Parade then embossed with Iridescent Ice. The butterfly is die cut from the Beautiful Wings Sizzlit then also heat embossed with Iridescent Ice.

For the matching gift card I stamped the script in Silver Encore then stamped the medallion in Poppy Parade. The flower swag is stamped in Silver Encore then heat embossed with Iridescent Ice. The charm hanging from the ribbon is stamped with the medallion in Silver Encore then also heat embossed with Iridescent Ice then die cut with the 3/4″ circle punch. I used silver cording to attach to the ribbon. So easy!

Clean and Simple

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

Clean and simple is not easy. It’s difficult to create a card where you have just enough and not too much. My card is mostly white except for the butterfly and sentiment. Dimension is created with layers and texture. It came together very quickly once I decided to use the Floral Fest stamp set. I stamped the flower image two times with Whisper White Craft ink and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The outer layer is punched with the Large Scallop punch and the next flower layer is hand cut with paper snips. LOVE the Iridescent Ice embossing powder. It adds so much without being too glitzy. Click the image to enlarge and see the Iridescent Ice sparkle. Here’s a sneak peak of one of the new In Colors Island Indigo. The butterfly and sentiment are stamped in this new In Color. The punch used for the sentiment is the Decorative Label punch. Click here to see how to punch.

Here comes the bride!

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we invite you to participate in our wedding theme challenge. Create an invitation, a place card, a card, thank you cards, favor or table decoration. My wedding creations are a Vellum petal favor box, Vellum flower decoration, place card and table number card. The petal favor box is from a template I created and I’m selling it for $1.95. Go to my Tutorial page to purchase. The flower was created using the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die. See below more details. The place card and table number card were printed using My Digital Studio.

For the table card I printed on Vellum the the table number and flourish from My Digital Studio then attached it to the silver card stock by punching two holes at the top of the Vellum and silver card stock and tying with ribbon. For a simple embellishment I punched the corner of the silver card stock with the corner Scallop Trim punch.

I love the Strength and Hope rubber and digital stamp set. It’s so versatile. The flourish image was perfect for these wedding projects.

I hope you’re inspired to create a project for this challenge.

Sympathy card for a friend

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

Recently my friend’s mother passed away and I needed to make a sympathy card. She’s a dear friend and I was saddened to hear of the news. I wanted my card to be elegant and to also let her know I was thinking about her and wished her comfort. I wanted my card to be mostly neutral with a hint of color. So Saffron was perfect. I used a butterfly image because I think when our time here on earth is over our soul or energy, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, we transform into something else. The butterfly image I used is retired Stipple Butterfly.

I stamped the butterfly image with Versamark and Basic Black ink then embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I then used a yellow watercolor pencil with a blender pen to color the wings. The embossing powder adds just a bit of shimmer. Click on the image below to see the shimmer. I embossed the background and the envelope flap with the Vintage Wallpaper folder then sponged with So Saffron ink. See card recipe below for more details.

A Fitting Thank you

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is paper piecing. This is a fun technique that adds lot of pizzazz to your hand stamp cards, and it’s easy to do!

All you have to do is stamp your image on paper or cardstock, cut it out and add it to your project. You can keep it simple, or use a more detailed stamp, stamp it on different colors and/or patterns of paper and layer your heart out!

For my project I used the Chic Boutique stamp set and the Love Letter DSP to paper piece the dress forms. I used my Stamp-A-Ma–Jig to position the design on my form then stamped it with Versamark, Classic Black ink then heat embossed it Iridescent Ice Stampin‘ Emboss Powder. I love this powder because it adds just the right sparkle. I cut out the dress form images. I stamped three dress forms on a Very Vanilla Top Note Layer that has been altered to look like a square. I trimmed the Very Vanilla Top Note square layer by cutting along the perfed edge. It’ very easy to make this shape. Click here for tutorial on creating this fun shape and a circle. I die cut another shape in Riding Hood Red to layer behind the Very Vanilla. So easy! See below for card recipe.

Happy Birthday Cake Slice Box

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

Yesterday was my hubby’s birthday and I made him a cake slice box. I put photos of me and our fur babies inside the box wishing him a happy birthday. The challenge was in trying to decorate the box in a masculine way. I was inspired by The Paper Players Color Challenge – Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy and Early Espresso. These colors are so rich together and masculine. I am also submitting my cake slice to Piece ‘O Cake Paper Craft Planet 3D challenge.

I made my cake box from Early Espresso card stock then covered with DSP printed from My Digital Studio – Cherry Cobbler polka dot and Not Quite Navy Villa DSP. I trimmed a 1-1/4″ strip of Early Espresso with the Eyelet Border punch and adhered to the lid. I also used the retired Take a Spin stamp set , Striped Early Espresso ribbon and Birthday Banner to decorate the top. I couldn’t resist and added clear rhinestones to the banner and the sides of the box. I also used an Antique brad for the back.

I also used My Digital Studio to print the photos and then used the 2-3/8 inch circle punch. I attached the photos with mini glue dots to 1/4″ Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon. I adhered each end with mini glue dots.

No calorie birthday cake

Posted on May 12, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

The slice of cake I made for you today has no calories. It’s a fun box you can decorate as a party favor or to fill with goodies or a gift card. The box is made from a die I’ve had for a while and it was time to use it. One of the great things about the Big Shot is you can use different kinds of dies from different manufacturers. I die cut the cake slice then embossed with the Finial Press Folder. I decorated the slice with doilies punched from the new Doily Triple Layer Punch, pearls and ribbon. I served up my cake slice on a circle scallop plate I embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder. The candle is made with Very Vanilla card stock then decorated with a strip of Melon Mambo. I freehand the flame using Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight card stock. Making this cake slice was a lot of fun.

If you’d like to make a cake slice box but don’t have a die click here for a template.

I have also entered my cake slice in the Piece O’ Cake Paper Craft Planet Tuesday 3D Challenge.

Floral Fest Birdhouse

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

I recently received the Flower Fest stamp set and I was so excited to get creative with it. I was looking for inspiration for color and PPA had one of my favorite color combos – Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait. These colors together are great together for summer projects. I put together this project for Hand Stamped Sentiments Anything Goes Challenge. The box and Cardinal are from a template I created then stamped the floral and leaf images with Versamark and matching classic ink as the card stock and heat embossed with iridescent powder for that shimmery look. I also added clear rhinestones for additional bling. Hop on over to HSS get inspired and upload your project.

Beyond the Garden Scrapbook Page

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

As promised here’s a hybrid 8″ x 8″ scrapbook page I created on My Digital Studio with the Beyond the Garden Digital DSP and the Digital Fabulous Florets Stamp Set. I also had to include the scooter or Vespa from the On The Grow rubber Stamp Set and the sentiment. As yesterday I gave my scooter a custom paint job. I paper pieced it with the Beyond the Garden Digital DSP pattern #6. I love this digi DSP it’s so bright and perfect for your summer projects.

Paris on a Scooter

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

Doesn’t the scooter in On the Grow stamp set remind you of touring Paris? I love this stamp set! This set is available in the new Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini and for some inspiration I used the sketch from Mojo Monday. I wanted to create a card that was bright and full of flowers so I used the digital Beyond the Garden DSP. I printed four patterns on an 8.5″ x11″ paper and then used them on my card to create a hybrid project. I stamped the scooter image on the yellow flowers dsp and gave my scooter a custom paint job then colored the rest of it with watercolor pencils and blender pen. Creating this card was a lot of fun. See my blog tomorrow to see the scrap page I created with this set.
