 Favorite #4:  Let’s get down to the BASICS!  

Did you notice all the great BASIC ESSENTIALS that are on sale?  Remember 10% off on all the products below.  That pays for your shipping charges!  These days, shipping is always an expense I’d like to get free!

Check out the Stampin’ Dimensionals and Tear & Tape, two of my ‘go-to’ adhesives.  The Tear & Tape is perfect for 3D projects that you do not want coming apart!

The 12″ x 12″ Cardstock is a great bargain.  Don’t forget that you can create SIX front panels at 4″ x 5 1/4″ from one piece of 12 x 12 card stock, and have a strip left for sentiment banners.  That is very economical.

The Very Vanilla and Whisper White notecards are a sometimes-forgotten workhorse.  Notecards do go through the mail with a regular stamp, and are the perfect size for thank-you cards and gift enclosures as well!

NOW is the time to stock up on these necessities.  The sale goes through this Sunday only!

September Paper Pumpkin – Spooky Sweet!

My September Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived from Stampin’ Up! and I couldn’t wait to put some together.  This month the kit is called “Frights & Delights” and the kit created 24 cute Halloween treat bags!

A Fall Bouquet with Copper Bling

I couldn’t wait to try a new product from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog:  the Bright Copper Shimmer Paint.  There are many techniques you can use with this paint, and I’ll be trying each of them.  Here is my project:

First Frost - Colorful Seasons - Bright Copper Shimmer Paint - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin' - Stampin' Up!

I used the Gray Granite cardstock to make a card base, and then cut a piece of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper — any wood grain you like is fine!  I took the bottle of Bright Copper Shimmer Paint and shook it, pouring out a dime size dollop onto an acrylic stamping block.  I then used the leaf stamp from Colorful Seasons and inked it up, spreading the pain out on the block and covering the stamp in a light coat.  I stamped directly onto the wood-grained paper.  I repeated this step to create a background of copper leaves.  So fun!  It takes only a few minutes to dry.

I used a scrap of Gray Granite to stamp the sentiment from a new stamp set called Flourish Filagree.  I love this stamp set because it coordinates with the Pretty Label Punch – so easy!  I love a punch!  Remember this one?

Flourish Filagree

 

Pretty LabelSo I punched out the sentiment after having stamped it with Cajun Craze.  I took some Whisper White Thick cardstock and stamped some flowers of both sizes in Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze, and then cut them out with my Big Shot.  I used the Joyous Noel 6 x 6 Glimmer paper in the copper color to cut out some small berry elements as well.  From here, all I had to do was build my Fall Bouquet onto the background of shimmery copper.

First Frost Close Up - Bright Copper Shimmer Paint - Filagree - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin' - Stampin' Up!

 

I made a bow using the 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and frayed the ‘tails’ of the bow before adhering with a glue dot.  And done!  I love the effect of the copper paint.

A Snowman Obsession?

I may very well be under the spell of the snowmen from the new “Spirited Snowmen” stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Spirited Snowman Tranquil Tide 1 - Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper - Up North Stampin' - Mary Hanson

Thank you to fellow stamper Tina Wandell for the inspiration!  This card starts with a base of Tranquil Tide card stock.  Upon that, I built a layer using a panel of Whisper White cardstock embossed using the Softly Falling Textured Embossing Folder, 4 1/8″ X 2 1/2′.  I also used a panel measuring 4 1/8″ X 3 3/8″.  Overlap them a little in the middle and adhere.  I wrapped a piece of Tranquil Tide ribbon around to the back and adhered with SNAIL.  I tied a small bow and attached it with a glue dot.

From there, I stamped the cute little skater guy with Memento Ink onto Thick Whisper White cardstock.  I used an Aqua Painter to shade in the snowman with Tranquil Tide, Cherry Cobbler, and Gray Granite.  You can do whatever you’d like — that’s the fun of coloring with the Aqua Painters — no right or wrong, just fun!

Spirited Snowmen Close Up Tranquil - Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin'

Click HERE to see a video on how to use Aqua Painters with ink pads.

I used the Stitched Shape Framelits Dies and my Big Shot to cut out the snowman.  I adhered with a few Dimensionals.  I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White and cut out using the Banner Triple Punch to finish off the two ends.  I adhered that with Dimensionals as well.  All done!  Click on any of the products below to shop online with me!
