Jeani’s Birthday Card
One of my coworkers celebrated a milestone birthday today. She is totally devoted to our school kids and is loved by all. I created this special card for her day.
Lots of Big Shot items used on this card – Circles, Stars, and Large Number framelits and the Stars embossing folder. The balloon punch and silver thread (sorry, not visible in this photo) were also used. Our school colors are red and blue so that dictated my color combo.
Hope it was a fabulous day, Jeani!
You could easily change this up for an anniversary card, graduation card, retirement card, or even a sports team-themed card.

Hello everyone~
Today my Facebook friends got to vote on what card to highlight for Wacky Wednesday. They got to choose between two holidays – National Duran Duran Day or National S’Mores Day. You guessed it – they picked s’mores.
I had a totally different idea when I went into my stamping area, but luckily, inspiration came quickly and brought some fire (yes, pun intended) into the design.
I used only three punches for this card and both the Foxy Friends and Fresh Fruit stamp sets (the phrase is from the Fresh Fruit stamp set).
I sponged the bottom of the main image and the marshmallow with Soft Suede. The stick is our new classic label punch, punched only a one-third width. The logs are the same label punch, and the flames are the tail of the Foxy Friend punch. The marshmallow is the 1/2″ circle punch.
Of course, I used a marker to adjust the saying. I’ll practice that a bit more the next time.
That little raccoon is just the sweetest little thing, don’t ya think?
Technique Tuesday – Washi Tape Peekaboo Window
I am so grateful to celebrate SEVEN YEARS on this blog. I’ve had www.stampwithjane.com for seven years. Thank you to all who visit and check out my website whether it be for inspiration, monthly holidays, or gosh forbid, by mistake!
I am going to celebrate this occasion all week. I am promising you a new card every day. Read through this whole blog post for a way you can help me celebrate.
Today is Tuesday, usually a stamping night, but I’ve got the night off. It always feels a little strange when it is 6:30 pm at my house, and the doorbell isn’t ringing on a Tuesday. Actually, tonight, a stamper did stop by right around that time. I found that kind of funny. Thanks for stopping by, Linda!
In July, I taught my stampers the Washi Tape Peekaboo Window technique. It is actually very simple. You only need scissors, an assortment of washi tape, stampin’ dimensionals, colored and Whisper White card stock, and stamps/ink.
Here is what we made:
- Cut the colored card stock and Whisper White card stock the same width, but the Whisper White can be about a 1/2″ – 1″ shorter in length.
- Cut the card stock in an interesting design (but not too intricate), dividing the card stock.
- If you plan on stamping, stamp now.
- Plan how far apart you want the colored card stock.
- Put small pieces of washi tape on the section of white card stock where it will show.
- Attach dimensionals on colored card stock and attach to white card stock.
- Trim white card stock if necessary.
- Layer on a card base.
That’s it. Really easy and fun – and a great way to use up washi tape.
Ok, now that you’ve read through all of this, I have a little contest to run. Comment below and I will enter all entries into a drawing for a new Stampin’ Up! accessory! Drawing will be held on Sunday, August 14th. I will contact the winner for their address.
Keep watching my blog this week for more opportunities to WIN!
Thanks for all of your support throughout the years! You are ALL too kind!
Wacky Wednesday – Foxy Friends Trash Can Raccoon Party Animal
Hi everyone~
Yeah, best-laid plans for July just didn’t happen. Sorry about that, but a little bit of life got in the way!
I’m starting out August in true Wacky Wednesday form. I hosted a Foxy Friends Stamp Camp last night with some very excited stampers. They have been going bonkers with this stamp set and were primed for a great night of stamping and punching fun.
I oftentimes look at Pinterest to start my planning of stamp camps; sometimes I CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) a project, and sometimes I just use it as a springboard to start my creative juices flowing.
The project I am sharing today is something that came to me late one night, and instead of sleeping, I planned out the pieces and parts of the card. I just love this one and am happy to share it. At last night’s event, the card was a horizontal orientation. One of my customers flipped it, and I actually liked this way better. Thanks, Linda!
Here it is. Even a raccoon rummaging through trash is cute with this stamp set!
Fabulous Friday – Punch Art Palette Card
Today was the last day for our summer school munchkins. We put on a Cinderella production with 1st through 5th graders. It was an amazing success, and we had five middle-school helpers who designed and painted all the stage sets.
I created thank you cards for our helpers. I tweaked an earlier version with current merchandise. Sorry for the bad picture. I took it way too early this morning!
The girls loved the cards and pronounced they would be saving them on their bulletin boards.
Celebrate Sunday – Ice Cream Sundae Punch Card
Ok, kind of fun for me to post this Celebrate Sunday card! At a recent punch class, my stampers made this ice cream sundae card:
Sprinkles of Life stamp set is used to make the scoops of ice cream and punched out with the Tree Builder punch, the bananas are the top of the acorn punch (with the stem cut off), the cherry is actually an apple from the Tree Builder punch.
The new banners punch is great because you can stamp two and layer them. Photopolymer stamp sets are cool because you can bend them to match a curve like the top of the banner!
Monochromatic Monday – Blushing Bride Cupcake
My first Monochromatic Monday starts with Blushing Bride. I usually pair this color with Chocolate Chip or Early Espresso. Keeping it to Blushing Bride and Whisper White was a challenge, but I really liked the results.
I used the brand-new stamp set, Sweet Cupcake, with the coordinating framelits, Cupcake Cutouts. This is one of the few three-step stamp sets which is gaining popularity. For the frosting, I actually stamped off once for the base image, and then stamped full strength for the next two stamps. The color variation looked perfect when I did this.
The “sweet” and the edge swirl are both framelits. Our new detail glue is wonderful to attach these pieces to cardstock.
I have been somewhat addicted to our Basic Pearls lately. I thought the pearls softened the edges.
Fabulous Friday – Cupcake Shaker Card
Ok, so I cheated a little on this one. Had the shaker card made already and just blinged it up a bit to post tonight. What’s my reason? Well, my adult son wanted to have some movie time with me. THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN OFTEN. So I hurried my planned stamping time tonight to spend it with him instead.
Wacky Wednesday – Rainbow Fish Punch Art
The new catalog is filled with amazing new items including some fabulous new punches. However, as punch art fills my creative mojo, Stampin’ Up! did retire some of my go-to punches this May. I had my first punch class scheduled even before I truly thought it through. Oh my, did I struggle for a while. Sometimes you just have to stop second-guessing yourself and start playing!
The final card for my stamp camp proved to actually be the easiest card to make AND used four NEW punches! That was truly a blessing! Plus, it used some of the new In Colors – Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, and Peekaboo Peach. Bermuda Bay was a perfect addition to the color scheme.
I used the new Swirly Scribbles framelits for the seaweed. Loved how easy that was! The greeting is from our Greatest Greetings stamp set, and it is punched out with the new Classic Label punch.
The fish is created with the Best Badge punch for the body (one full punched piece in Peekaboo Peach, and then just a third of the top part of the punch in Peekaboo Peach, Glimmer Paper, and Bermuda Bay). The fins are created with the medium leaf from the Blossom Builder punch in Bermuda Bay. His mouth is actually a cut piece from a swirl from the Sprinkles punch in Basic Black. (Thanks Melissa Cook for that improvement!) His eye is a metal-rimmed pearl with a sharpie marker center. Be sure to use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the body!
The trio of starfish are flowers from the Blossom Builder punch with a pearl in the middle.
I love this little guy – and so on trend with the new Finding Dory film this summer!
Rosie the Maid (The Jetsons) Punch Card
Happy National No Housework Day!
My recent punch class featured this little beauty – I’m calling her my Rosie the Maid card.
The phrase is from Celebrate Today. I love the Pacific Point, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and Smoky Slate color combination. This is perfect for a little boy’s card or scrapbook page!
