Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest Notecard Video ~ Your kindness means so much card. #FridayFun

Hello Friends!

I'm so very grateful to share with you today.

This is super simple card that I made out of:

• the Very Vanilla notecards that are on sale
• some burlap ribbon
• and the Painted Harvest Stamp set from Stampin! Up!

...and THAT'S IT!

Life gets crazy sometimes.  

Wait, life seems crazy ALL of the time, right? 

I made 20 of these in short order, while I was creating the video for you for this week!  

Well, because this one is so easy, there are NO MEASUREMENTS!  Woot!

Here is the shopping list of all the products I used.
There really isn't much, to create some gorgeous cards in a snap!

Thank you for stopping by today and for being a part of my little corner of the Stamping World.

Love,
Selene

How to watercolor with Blender Pens, Stampin' Up Bella and Friends Stamp Set #FridayFun

Hello Friends!

It's time for the #FridayFun video for this week!

I had a few stampers down for the count this week in my stamp club.  
So, I decided I would bring the class to them and you!

This week starts a 3 week "club" series of videos for the cards we did in stamp club this month.  We did watercoloring 2 different ways and a very different spin on an old technique that makes it WAY easier!

This week I'll show you how to watercolor using ink pads and blender pens from Stampin Up!

Here is your video link:

If you loved this week's video and need any supplies, here is the list of what I used. Please reach out if you have any questions at all!

Leave me a comment or share this blog post and I'll draw a winner to send this card to and announce it next week!  Be sure to use the #FridayFun hashtag so I can find your share!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Love,
Selene

Stampin' Up Stepped Up Watercolor Christmas Card Kit, #FridayFun, Episode 8

Greetings Superstampers!

For the past three weeks we have been running a series here. 

Today is the last video in that three part series.

You can check out Video 1 that features the card box here. 

Video 2 was last week and showed the basics of the Watercolor Christmas card kit here.

This week, I will show you how to take the WHOLE PROJECT up a notch by:

1. Creating a banner for one of the projects.
2. Embossing all the red pieces of the card kit
3. Sanding some of the embossing for effect
4. Adding Wink of Stella! (I hope you can see the sheer AWESOMENESS in the video)

Here is your video for this week's #FridayFun!

Thank you for joining me today!  Stay tuned for an end of the year special that will be coming out within the next week!  I'm ready to celebrate YOU!

Stampin' Up! Acetate Card Box and Watercolor Christmas Card Kit #FridayFun Episode 6

Hello Friends! 

It's the first day of the HOLIDAY CATALOG!

I am just.so.excited.  

Today, I would like to share this quick and adorable treat holder that I did at a team reward night two weeks ago.

It features the brand new Acetate Card Boxes from Stampin' Up!  

I cut the box in half and it made the perfect holder for cards we made with the Brand NEW Watercolor Christmas Card Kit!  

The next three #FridayFun videos will feature what we did at that reward event.

I did mail the reward to everyone long distance on my team who earned it as well and everyone had gotten their packages, so now I can share with you!    

Here is part 1 featuring the Acetate Card Boxes from Stampin' Up!

If you love these projects as much as I do, here's what I used for supplies!

8/18 Stampin' Up Just Add Text and a Daisy Punch! #FridayFun

Hello Friends,

I am so excited to be sharing a card from my workshop this week.  I do love sitting with friends doing crafts and spending time together.  This particular group I meet with them every single month, and they totally bless me.  I love how Stampin' Up brings that into my life and theirs.  This card was a big hit at the gathering this month, and I love how simple it is!  I'll post this week's video at the bottom, but first how about some measurements so you can recreate it if you like.

Here are the colors I used.

Measurements: 

Base: Crumb Cake 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"

Layer 2: Melon Mambo, 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Layer 3: Crumb Cake, 5 x 3 3/4"

Layer 4: Melon Mambo 3" square, die cut with the stitched framelits die

Layer 5 & 6: Two Daisies, punched from the Stampin' Up! daisy punch

Layer 7: Daffodil Delight 3/4" circle, popped up with a dimensional

Layer 8: Glitter enamel Dot

The video this week is very short, only about 5 minutes, but I talk about some really cool design concepts including framing things by making sure that 3 sides are equal, and the rule of thirds.  

Thanks for checking it out!  

Love,

Selene
