Wildflower Meadow with Deb Valder
Hidy Ho Stampers
Whew…nasty storms last night but all is good. I was at Hoosic Valley Continuing Education last night teaching my Rubber Stamping classes and it was a little hairy drving home. I was singing country songs the whole way home…oh dear! Still NO baby but soon! I can't wait.
Wildflower Meadow is becoming my new favorite (this week). You can use so many different techniques with this stamp set and it has a matching folder for instant POP! and dimension.
This card has a Very Vanilla base card cut at 4 1/4" x 11", the top layer is Baked Brown Sugar 4" x 5 1/4".
I used Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink to ink up the stamp BUT before you stamp it onto the matching cardstock, spritz the whole stamp with water. When I did this, it gave the card a watercolor look. After it dries, run it through the matching folder. I popped this on the Very Vanilla base with dimensionals.
Next ink up only one of the flowers. I used Crisp Cantaloupe for the flower and Pistachio Pudding for the stem. Spray this with water and stamp on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla. When it dries, cut it out. I popped it on with Dimensionals. Next I made a fork bow (see my YouTube video on how to make a fork bow).
Then I added one of our NEW NEUTRALS CANDY DOTS!!! These are sooooo much fun. Do you see it? It's in the middle of the flower. This new product is so fun. They are just like our Pearls and Rhinestones. You scoop them up with your scissors and they are pre-glued so you just add them to your card. I added a Very Vanilla one here then surrounded that with the smallest pearls. What do you think?
Side View! Look at all the dimension!
I sure hope you enjoyed my post. What do you think? You can start to order these products on FRIDAY, MAY 31st starting at 12:00 pm. MOUNTAIN TIME (which is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time) just go to my website www.stampladee.stampinup.net and be the first to get your new product order!

Hidy Ho Stampers,
Another day and still no baby! If "Nana" is this anxious, can you imagine mom and dad???? Soooooo patiently awaiting.
Anyway…..Today I'm going to show you how to make this adorable candy holder. How cute would this be for a bridal shower or a sweet 16 party or a dress up party or…well you get the picture. This was one of our "Make and Takes" at my Stampin' Up! team get together Sunday. It was shared by Barb Stomieroski! She is so stinken talented.
It's made with the Dress Up Framelits and
my new favorite In-Color — Pistachio Pudding!
LOVE IT!
So the first thing I did was to take a piece of Pistachio Pudding that
measured 2 3/4" x 7 1/2" and folded it in half.
Next lay the dress framelit on the FOLD
making sure that the "shoulders" are hanging off the card stock!
The reason you do this is so there is still a fold, you don't want
two separate pieces but you do want one piece that has a fold!
See picture below…
See, framelit hanging over the folded edge!
Now run it through the Big Shot!
Now you need the little box on the inside.
Cut a Piece of Pistachio Pudding 3 1/4" x 2 1/4"
and score at 3/4" on all four sides.
Now put the box together……easy peasy! :0)
To finish off the party favor I ran the dress through the Fancy Fan Embossing folder.
I also stamped the Thank You from Itty Bitty Banners with Pistashio Pudding Ink
and cut it out with the Itty Bitty Framelits.
Added a pearl and wah lah…we are done!
Now that wasn't so hard was it?

Mosaic Madness with Deb Valder
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Needed a thinking of you card today so this is what I came up with…It's got some good dimension and the color that I used here is Elegant Eggplant. I think the stamp set Mosaic Madness lends itself to the Rich Regals suite of colors. Love them with this set. If you like my card, and are on my blog, can you pin it to Pinterest?! Thank you so much! :0)
Simple and Elegant! Look at the cute little pop-up!
I bet you are wondering how i did it :0)
First the Whisper White cardbase is cut 11 by 4 1/4 and folded in half. The next layer is Elegant Eggplant measuring 3 3/4 by 5". My Whisper top piece is 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Before you run this piece through the embossing folder, stamp the straight line image from the stamp set Mosaic Madness (#130246 wood mount or # 130249 clear mount) - then run it through the embossing folder Modern Mosaic (#129984). Adhere these pieces together.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock, stamp one of the images from the above set FIVE times with Elegant Eggplant classic ink then punch out with the Mosaic Punch (#131267). I need you to punch one more Whisper White mosaic image (which will be used for your base).
To make the medallion on the card, you will need to fold FOUR of the stamp medallions in half the long way. Next glue these four pieces together back to back and then adhere these to the white base. Take this piece and place it in the middle of the straight line stamped image on your card. The remaining stamped image is placed in the upper left corner on one of the coordinatng images that are embossed.
Last but not least, stamp the image "for you" in one of the medallions. This image is from the hostess set Sweetly Framed #129702. If you have a big wish list from this new catalog, why not save up so you can have your own party and get this set as part of your benefits! Email me and I will explain to you what the "sock method" is for saving for your own workshop! It's easy and affordable. Do you need a catalog? Email me and let me know, I will get one right out to you.
And I want to thank you once again for taking time out of your busy day to look at my creations - THANK YOU! I hope you follow me on the following to stay in touch…click here to place your order www.stampladee.stampinup.net !

Mosaic Madness with Deb Valder
Hidy Ho Stampers,
I've been having so much fun with my new stamp suite called Quatre Fancy found on page 120 in the new catalog – Oh Oh …you don't have a new catalog? Goodness, contact me and I will get one right out to you!
In the suite, there is a stamp set called "Mosaic Madness" and a coordinating punch called Mosaic – go figure ha ha ha
(if you purchase these together as a "bundle" you will get a 15% discount (#132734 wood mount for $36.50 or #132733 clear mount for $29.50). But it doesn't stop there, there is also a
coordinating embossing folder called Modern Mosaic – go figure! :0)
and the coordinating Designer Series Paper is called Quatrefancy - hmmmm not sure why it's not called Mosaic Madness but we'll go with it! :0)
I needed some thank you cards for some very special people
so I came up with this card.
See the folder? and the stamp set? I used only a portion of the folder.
But I started playing with the rest of the suite and here is a different version…
You can't tell here but I used the punch and punched out the pattern on the folder.
I also used some punchouts for the layering on the bottom.
Here is the layering. See how the folder is punched out?!
Then I had all these punch outs and needed to do SOMETHING
with them so this is what I came up with!!!
Isn't this just beautiful? You can't see it here but I put little pearls on each of the punch outs.
Fun Fun! I can't wait for the new catalog!!!

Quilt Card with Deb Valder
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well I'm back from Fiji and boy do I have "jet lag"! Getting ready for my Continuing Education class tonight (hope I don't fall asleep on the way there)! It's always so much fun teaching people in the community how to stamp, I'd hate to miss any of it while I was snoozing – wonder if I'd wake up with stamps all over me!?!. :0)
Didn't I tell it was gorgeous. This is from our hotel overlooking the pool and the ocean!
Heaven!
Okay back to some fun stuff. We did a quilt card in one of my clubs this month. So much fun. This was taught to me many years ago by my good friend Jennifer Thomas! She is an amazing stamper and I've learned so much from her.
so how is it done?
First I used a set that is retiring (Spring Sampler #125512 clear mount or #125510 wood mount) and a new set called A Round Array (#129090 clear mount or #129087 wood mount).
Cardstock needed:
Turquoise one 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
whisper White 4 x 10 1/2
Lucky Limeade 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Scrap piece 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
1/2" strips of Designer Series Paper (I used Sunshine and Sprinkles from the 2013 Spring Catalog)
The card:
Stamp the tulip from the the Spring Sampler set using our Stampin' Up! markers, then punch out with our 1" square punch – MAKE SURE YOU STAMP IT POSITIONED AS A DIAMOND. Punch a square from Tempting Turquoise using our 1/1/4" punch and pop these two together. Now adhere this piece to the CENTER of your 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" scrap (this should be positioned as a diamond onto the larger square).
*Start gluing your strip closest to the turquoise square. Continuing gluing so that you go all the way around the square. Trim off what hangs over the scrap piece.
Your project should look like this at this point:
*Then switch to another design of your 1/2" DSP (you can just flip the double sided paper over) and repeat the process above. Continue this until you have your entire 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" square complete. (Your 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" square will now be completely covered with Designer Series Paper).
Add this to your 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Lucky Limeade square. Next attach that to your Whisper White card (folded in half) and attach that to the Tempting Turquoise base. Finish with your A Round Array piece that was stamped and punched with the 3/4" circle punch and backed with a Lucky Limeade 7/8" Scallop. Tie a ribbon and you have your little medallion.
I hope you missed me while I was gone! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop by. Remember to follow me:
