Stampin up simply sketched cards

One of my customers asked if we could do double embossed cards at a workshop, so of course I had to experiment to find one that would be su...

Today I used one of the layouts from page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalogue! Here are the 3 cards that I created live – you can see the full video below. Watch this video rep…

It's hard to see, but the horizontal strip is embossed with the square lattice embossing folder. I'll be using this for an upcoming card buffet. More details at: http://www.cardcreationsbybeth.com/2013/10/why-are-masculine-cards-so-difficult.html TFL!

Simply Sketched is a Hostess set in the upcoming catalog. I loved it so much that I didn't want to wait and earn it so I paid for it ;). So here is a card with one of its images. The card base is Very Vanilla with a front of Soft Suede. I ran a piece of returning Pear Pizzazz through the Big Shot in the Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I layered it onto the Soft Suede front. I stamped the image onto Watercolor paper with Stazon and painted the image with ink and an Aqua Painter. I cut it out…

I am looking forward to the debut of the new Stampin' Up! catalog. That is probably an understatement. While I am super excited to order some fun new items I am also sad to see the retiring of stamp sets. I know this set is no longer available but I...

Today’s card features the Simply Sketched stamp set from Stampin’ Up! (wood mount and clear mount). This beautiful stamp set is one of our lovely hostess items available through the St…

Sadly I needed a sympathy card this week. Simply Sketched was out on my desk from Monday - although the result couldn't be more of a contrast to this card I showed here on Monday. Come and see: I thought a peaceful nature scene would be appropriate. The leaves and the bird were stamped off the edge of the notecard and I added the sentiment using Basic Grey ink. I coloured everything in using markers, adding highlights with my white Signo gel pen. I'll be linking this card up with Make My…

It was my birthday last Friday (I’ve turned 30 for the 12th time!!) :) so I thought that I’d share some of the fantastic cards that I’ve received from stamping friends with you to…

Deployments are already difficult and although we hope that our friends & family are safe at home, tragedy strikes and we are saddened with the news of someone passing away. My sister-in-law lost her mom this week and I felt bad not being able to reach out to her right... Continue reading

Made this card with a set from Papertrey Ink, the sentiment from My Favorite Things. Used a couple Spellbinder square dies for the frame and a Papertrey Ink impression plate to emboss. Thanks for looking hope you have a great week:)!!

I created this little vignette using the new hostess set from the 2013 - 2014 SU catalog. I used a masking technique to create a 'picture' using the 3 images from the set.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Sketches stamp set to create a quick thank you card to share with you today. I made this card out on my Instagram account this morning and you can find it h…

Let's create a Simple & Easy card using Card Sketch #17! This is the third version of this simple card sketch.

Ok, ok, the title of this post is a wee bit misleading. You do technically have to host a party to earn free hostess-only stamp sets, like this great new fave of mine, Simply Sketched. I know a lot of people complain that they can't get the sets without hosting. However, you can certainly have a BOOK party or a FACEBOOK party, and get lots of free merchandise without actually opening your home to guests--and having to clean! While there's really no substitute for face to face partying in the…

The Simply Sketched set is soon to retire. It was a very fun and easy Hostess set to play with. I especially loved this flower. I had ...

I designed this Quick and Easy (QE) birthday card featuring the new Simply Sketched hostess stamp set for my video tutorial this week. Be sure and check that out tomorrow when it goes live!! This set is one of my favorites in the new catalog - have you got your hands on one yet? I have plenty in stock so let me know if you want one... I'll be handing them out at my Open House event the weekend of June 14-15. Thanks for stopping by today... don't forget that my video will be available to view…
