stamptastic friends blog hop

If you’re looking for some fun and festive projects, you’ll love what Stamptastic Friends have prepared for you. We have some amazing ideas for Christmas wrapping and gift giving that you can do in no time. You’ll find some brilliant ways to make your holidays sparkle and shine.

I came across these cute hand lotion tubes with holiday designs a few weeks ago. They seemed like a perfect little gift for myself or for some of my girlfriends. But I didn’t want to give them as they were. I wanted to add some flair to them. So, I made a simple box to put them in. I filled my box with hand lotion, but you can put anything you like in it. A sample of some of your favorite candy or cookies, a small piece of jewelry, a pair of Christmas socks…and more!

This is such a simple gift box to make, and I hope you’ll try it out.

Goofy and Fun Halloween Cards

For today’s blog hop, the team is showcasing Halloween cards that are humorous, eerie, and weird! 

I enjoy making Halloween cards as long as they are not too frightening. No one wants to be scared by a card! 

I have made 2 cards for you to enjoy and they are both amusing and goofy.

The Bag of Bones bundle includes a charming skeleton who loves to dance. He is very funny and adorable. You can dress him up with different accessories like hats, shoes, a cane, and some skeleton pet friends! My first card shows a skeleton with cool orange shoes dancing on a zig-zag background. I used Basic Borders dies and Designer Series Paper to make the background. I like to use purple, orange and green for Halloween colors. This skeleton makes me smile.

The second card has the some of same colors but a different design. The fold is fun and eye-catching.

Stamptastic Friends Share Coloring Tools

stamptastic friends blog hop

This month, Stamptastic Friends are showcasing their favorite coloring tools. It’s hard to choose one because I enjoy using all the coloring tools that Stampin’ Up offers! They have Blends, Stampin’ Right Markers, Watercolor pencils, Blending Brushes and so much more! I decided to feature Blending Brushes because they have been my go-to tool lately.

Blending Brushes

They are fast and easy to use, which is perfect for my busy schedule. The Abundant Beauty masks are a great match for Blending Brushes and Daubers. You can customize your cards with your preferred colors and create different effects. It’s a win-win situation!

Abundant Beauty Masks

My first card is very traditional with yellow, brown and green sunflowers.

I used some non-traditional colors to create the second card. I love them both!

Stamptastic Friends Share a Sketch Challenge

stamptastic friends blog hop

Welcome to our monthly Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month, we have a fun challenge: we are all making cards based on the same sketch. I find sketches very helpful when I need some inspiration or a fresh idea.

A sketch gives you a starting point and a layout to follow.

Two Tone flora

I chose to use the Two Tone Flora stamp set from the Annual Catalog. This set has beautiful flowers that look very realistic with the two step stamping technique. My color scheme was inspired by the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. This paper is a special release that came out this month. I love the vibrant colors and patterns in this paper.

I hope I have inspired you to give this sketch a try.

Please hop on to the next blog for more inspiration.

Happy Stamping!

Waterfall Card for Stamping with Friends

Hues of Happiness

I haven’t made a Waterfall card in ages. It’s such a fun and enjoyable activity! This cute card brings me joy. A waterfall card has four embellished squares that, when the tab is pulled, it flips up to show the next picture. People adore cards with dynamic elements and this one has an extra feature: your message or another picture is uncovered as you pull down the tab. A card with motion AND a hidden message is unique.

You’ll be clucking with delight over the Hey Chuck waterfall card! These whimsical hens and hilarious sayings are ideal for a waterfall card.

Hey Chuck
