Textured Notes Framed Art

I enjoyed featuring a variety of different styles and techniques for the projects for my Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat to Alaska.  Not only do we create tons of cards and scrapbook pages, but framed art projects have always been a hit.  I used the Textured Notes stamp set as the main feature for this 8″ x 8″ shadow box frame and paired it with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper.

The neutral color pallet makes this a home decor piece that could work in anyone’s home.  Each piece of the Designer Paper is layered on a piece of Early Espresso card stock.  We used the Basic Beige Ribbon and colored it with a Mossy Meadow Marker before wrapping it around the DSP layers.  Images from the Textured Notes stamp set were stamped on the “Linen” print from the Woven Textures DSP using Pecan Pie and Mossy Meadow ink.  The larger leafy image was fussy cut and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals after adhering a bit of Linen Thread to the back.  A scattering of the Neutral Matt Dots finished off the project.

Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape Cards

Comments: 2

It’s time for me to start sharing the projects I designed for my Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat to Alaska.  This set of six cards was one of those projects everyone made.  These cards feature the amazing Extraordinary Washi Tape (which is on sale for 15% off through the end of August) and the coordinating Extraordinary Floral Bundle and were a big hit with the stampers on the trip.  The washi tape is about 3″ x 10 yards long! We adhered the washi tape to basic white cardstock then die-cut the flowers out with the Extraordinary Floral Die creating tons of flowers and leaves to use on the cards.

The first three cards feature Soft Seafoam on a Basic White card base topped off with a Basic White layer that was embossed with the floral image from the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders.

The Meant to Bee dies were used to die-cut the hexagon from the Basic White piece prior to embossing it. Sentiments from the Extraordinary Floral stamp set were stamped on each card with Memento ink and inside each card we adhered a die-cut flower.

The second card features the die-cuts but we also created “Designer Paper” by using a strip of the washi tape adhered to Basic White and NOT die-cut.  Each of the cards were also embellished with the Low Profile Dots.

The last three cards in this set feature Berry Burst on a Basic White card base topped off with a Basic White layer that was embossed with the geometric image from the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders.  This card has the same layout as the first card, just horizontal rather than vertical as the first card was.Stampin' Up!

Card 6 is the same layout as card three, but this time it’s horizontal rather than vertical.  One other thing to mention about the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape is that when you unroll the tape, you’ll notice that the images of lowers have two different color palettes.  The first group of colors featuring pins, corals and light greens and can be seen on cards 1-3, while cards 4-6 feature the second color group with purples, deep berry and teal colors.

Stamp, Crop & Cruise to Alaska

Comments: 1

I recently returned from our Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat to Alaska with 63 guests.  This is the 7th cruise retreat I’ve hosted and we have a blast every time!  We sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas from Seattle with ports of call at Sitka, Skagway and Juneau Alaska and Victoria, British Columbia from July 28- August 4th.

Stamp, Crop & Cruise

We have a dedicated conference room for the whole cruise and we craft on our days at sea.  I design and create all of the projects. This year it was a total of 40 cards, 6 scrapbook pages and a framed art project.  I bring all of the stamps, ink, dies, die-cutting machines, punches… needed for the cruise projects to make it easier for my crafters, as well as printed tutorials.  Check out a quick video of the conference space we crafted in during our cruise by CLICKING HERE

Once I have everything cut and packaged up by class, I send all the crafters a box filled with their cruise tote bag and projects, including a shadow box frame, a T-shirt, water bottle, embellishment box, trash tote, and card kit.  The crafters bring this box along with them on the cruise.

Here is the box of Embellishments they all received filled with Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape, Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, Faceted Gems Trio Pack, Muted Pallet Dots, Neutral Matt Dots, Linen Thread & Stampin’ Dimensionals.  They used these products to embellish their projects with plenty left over to use at home.

When we craft, there’s always a little trash, so I made everyone one of these cute little trash bins using a blue & green plaid flannel and a wood grain print.  I thought these kept with the Alaskan theme.  I even had custom labels made that I sewed into the trash bins so my guests would have them as a memento of the trip.  I found the directions for making these totes on Angie Juda’s blog.

I also gave everyone the Birthday Fancy Card Kit to work on in their free time.  This kit is so darned cute and it has everything needed to make these 12 cards, including the stamp set, ink, and adhesives.  This kit is on sale for 15% off through the end of August. Item #166211 regular price $25 sale price 21.25

 

 

One last thing I included in their crafting boxes was a magnetic sign for their cabin doors.  It’s really fun to see so many Stamp, Crop & Cruise signs on the doors as we’d pass through the halls.

I will be posting all of the class projects in the coming days, so be sure to come back to check them out.  Also, we’ll be cruising to the Southern Caribbean in January 2026 and to the Eastern Caribbean in 2027 and I’d love to have you join in on the fun.  Click HERE for the information on the Southern Caribbean Cruise in 2026
