Keeping a sense of calmness

in 2017, birthday, Canada, Canadian Demonstrator, Cards, Class, demonstrator, francais, Kim Assaly, Kim McGillis, Kim's stamping events, make& takes, new 2016-2017 catalogue, Occasion catalogue, Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up! on 01/25/17

I don’t know too many people who don’t like photographic waterfront stamp sets?  There is something soothing about the High tide stamp set.  It brings a sense of calmness, relaxating and peacefulness.  The bonus is that it is also available in french, “pour les clientes francophones”.  It’s called Maree haute #143462. Speaking of calmness.  I don’t know about you, but I cannot keep my craft room in order.  It’s nonesense, there is no sense of calmness there!!! I cleaned it on Sunday and I’m embarrassed to say that I have to tidy up again:(  There must be a system! If you know the answer to tidyness in a craft room, please share…  I read this quote on pinterest:  “creativity is messy and I am very creative”.  It just made me giggle.   I guess I’m creative.  More and more demonstrators are promoting videos about projects they have created.  I need to clean my studio before I venture in videos…

I chose a nautical color theme for the High tide stamp set today.  Measurements for this card are a little none tradional so I’ll share the details below.  I think this stamp set is perfect for masculine cards.  My card today has a doily but I would not be ashamed to give it to a man!  Love my doilies.  Once again, I created different versions and a step up for this project.  I coordinated the stamp set with the floral boutique designer series paper.  You need to check out this designer paper in the annual catalogue.  It is beautiful and  the projects that stampin up published are so me.  I love the shabby chic look.  Check it out on p.76 of the annual catalogue.

Card #1

Steps

1.  Cut Night of Navy 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 5 1/5,9 3/4 and and 10 1/4

2.  Tear the edge of the night of navy card stock on one side (side where you’ve scored at 10 1/4 mark)

3.  Cut 2 pieces of designer paper, one at 4 x 4  and the other at 4 x1 1/2 and adhere to card stock

4.  Punch two  holes with  the 1/8′ hand held circle punch and thread the whisper white linen and tie with a knot.  on both extremities like in the attached image.

5.  Cut a piece of whisper white card stock at 2 1/2 x 3  1/2 and stamp image with night of navy ink.  Mount on a piece of  2 3/4 x  3 3/4 night of navy card stock.

6.  Add doily to designer paper  and pop up the stamped image to the designer paper.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
