Recycled Beauty

March 29, 2011 Stampendous8 Comments

Krissy Fossmeyer has her third BlogStar post today with a beautiful idea on recycling and reuse! This is such a fabulous look and so clever. Here’s what Krissy has to say about it:

My oldest son and I were talking about recycling one day and about all the things that we recycle in our house. We take the papers to the library every week for their paper fundraiser, we reuse as much as possible and our recycling can has more in it every week than our garbage can. I’d like to think we’re pretty good at recycling. Then he asked me if I could recycle a card. I said that since they are paper they could be recycled. He corrected me and said “No, can you make a recycled card?” That little stinker challenged me! So, it was ON!

After a bit of brainstorming, I remembered that I had a small stash of paint chips that I had picked up at Menard’s some time ago. I first trimmed them to remove all the writing that appeared on the front – although I don’t think that was necessary, I just liked the narrower size better for my layout. I chose Agapanthus Thank You for the stamped image because the long, graceful blooms were the perfect size for the paint chips. Plus, I think this stamp looks great when it is embossed in white.

I had so much fun making the first card, that I decided to make a set using a variety of colors. I think I need to go back to the home improvement store and get more paint chips!

Hope all is well in your corner of the world and that you take time today to get inky!

Party Balloons Birthday Card

March 24, 2011March 21, 2011 Stampendous6 Comments

Welcome Kristine Reynolds back for week 2 of Stamping with the BlogStars. This week she’s chosen to make a classic birthday card (can you EVER have too many birthday cards on hand). This card is simple but dynamic, and it would be a cinch to stamp up a bunch of them, cut out balloons while watching TV, and have cards ready for the whole year! Here’s what Kristine had to say:

Hi everyone! I am so excited that you stopped by to check out Stampendous! I created a clean and simple birthday card to share with you today. The card has limited embellishments but has added interest from layering the balloon images to create a fun 3-D card!

Birthday Balloons
Stamps:
Y008-Party Balloons
Birthday Assortment
Paper:
Bazzill Prismatics (Classic Orange, Classic Yellow, Baby Blue Dark)
Neenah white cardstock
Ink:
Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink by Tsukineko
Copic Markers (yr00, yr02, yr04, B02, B12, B14, Y11, Y15)
Other:
All Night Media pop dots
Directions:
1. Adhere a thin orange strip and a thin blue strip of cardstock vertically along the left side of a 8″ x 3 1/2″ white panel.
2. Stamp senitment in black ink on the bottom of the white panel and stamp the balloons in black ink above the sentiment.
3. Stamp the balloon image 2 times on white cardstock scraps.
4. Adhere white panel to a slightly larger yellow panel and then to a 4″ x 8 1/2″ blue card.
5. Color all three of the stamped balloon images.
6. Cut out the orange and yellow balloon combo on one of the stamped scraps and adhere over the image on the card with pop dots.
7. Cut out just the yellow balloon on the other stamped scrap and adhere over the yellow balloon with pop dots.
The close up picture shows the cool 3D look that the layering of the balloons creates!

If you haven’t picked up the Birthday Assortment set yet, you really need to do so! It has such a great variety of birthday sentiments that you will always have the perfect one one hand! Thanks again for stopping by!
