Ahoy, Stampers!!

A post/project by Jen C. at Stampin' Up!

Ahoy, Stampers!


I may live in a landlocked state, but the nautical look is everywhere. I love the bold colors and the strong patterns. Nautical denotes summer, water, and warmth—all things I love.

I recently bought a pair of navy and white striped shoes. Love ‘em! They were pretty much my inspiration for a couple of simple nautical-themed projects.



First, I made an easy card by cutting strips of Midnight Muse Cardstock and adhering them to a Whisper White card base. My greeting is embossed in Whisper White on Real Red Cardstock. This is a simple card, but the stripes make it bold and striking.



I also created a banner. I tried to replicate the look of nautical flags. There’s a ton of inspiration online for different nautical flag patterns. This would make a darling theme for a backyard BBQ or summer birthday party. However you choose to infuse nautical elements into your projects, just let your creativity set sail!

Bloomin' Bouquet Project Kit


 
 

Bloomin' Bouquet Project Kit

Avaliable NOW while supplies last!!

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you".

Introducing Photopolymer by Stampin' Up!

Written by:
Lisa W.
Stampin' Up! Catalog Design Manager

I’ve always wanted to be a graphic designer. In fact, my aunt had one of those original Macintosh computers with the itty bitty screens and when we’d visit, she’d let me use it. It had this awesome program that would let you design cards. It was pretty cutting edge back then. Obviously, the time spent in my aunt’s home office foreshadowed my professional choices as an adult.

My favorite part about design is typography. I adore type. There’s just something inherently beautiful about letterforms and what happens when you stack them to create different shapes and combine them to say different things. So when I was asked a few weeks ago to create some artwork for our first-ever photopolymer stamp set, I jumped at the chance to do something that would speak to my typography love. Can I get a holla?! Additionally, I wanted to focus on the cool benefits of photopolymer stamps (but we’ll get into that in just minute).

So without further adieu, let me introduce you to the Designer Typeset Stamp Set. It’s based around a really great san serif font that will work well on just about any project. And then there are embellishments and shapes to take whatever you want to say to the next level. The possibilities are seriously endless.




132956 $13.95 Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set
Stamp Set of 57!

I’ll admit, once I started playing around with the stamp set, I had a hard time stopping. The mess that has taken up residence in my craft room attests to this fact. So many witty one-liners, so little time.




But before I get too carried away, let’s get to talking about the benefits of photopolymer stamps. For those who are unfamiliar, let me point out a couple of things I personally find really cool.

First, they’re completely clear, making it oh-so-easy to stamp exactly where you want. They come unmounted, on an acetate sheet, and temporarily adhere to our clear blocks. Awesome!


Second, they are pliable. Want your arrow to shoot a certain way? No problem! Want your banner to have the perfect sag? Easy peasy! Being able to play with the shape gives you even more creative freedom.


So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The Designer Typeset Stamp Set is in the online store starting now. Go to http://www.lorraine.stampinup.net to order yours today!

Boxed Card Gift Set

I got the idea for this set from another fabulous stamper but I cannot find my original picture. As soon as I find it I will give the proper credit to the person that inspired me.
This is a boxed card gift set I created for my Sister and one for my son's teacher. I made 2 of each color so they would each have 10 cards.
Then I created the box to hold them. So sorry I forgot to write down the dimensions but all you need to do is hold your 10 cards and envelopes together and measure the thickness. The boxes are 2 pieces. I used 12x12 cardstock and made score lines for the sides, top and bottom. Then repeated the process for the back piece adding 4 inches so the top would fold over. I know this probably doesn't make sense and I'm sorry. I will try to recreate them and get all the dimensions for you later.
The cards are pretty simple but have such an impact with the pretty, bright colors and their initials on each.
The box was made using the awesome SU! Simply Scored Scoring Tool. It really makes life easy when you have one of these.
The name plates were cut with the Sizzlits Labels Collection Framelits in 3 layers of the 6.
The ribbon is our fantastic 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Certainly Celery and Crumb Cake.

I used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper and Crumb Cake Cardstock for the base. Then used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Marina Mist cardstock for the monogram labels layered on Soft Suede cardstock.

I also stamped the background in Soft Suede (stamped off once) using the Mixed Bunch stamp set.

So, what do you think? Do you know someone that would love to receive this as a gift?
