<br />
For more than three years, the operators here at Stamping 411 have been bringing you weekly sketches, color challenges, inspiration, techniques, tips tricks and more. I think if you look around the side bar of our blog you'll agree that we have built quite a resource over the years.<br />
<br />
In the very beginning, I thought that we could support our customers and friends more effectively together by pooling our resources and efforts, than we could as individuals. That spurred the idea for 411 or "information" without strings, without marketing. That original idea has become that shared resource for you and your customers (and my customers) as a go to for an online creative space to play, learn, and share.<br />
<br />
This journey has been filled with fond memories, team work. beautiful relationships, friendship and fun. Of course, like any journey, we hit our bumps in the road and grew as artists and individuals, always moving forward. <br />
<br />
Today, I'm happy to announce that we have decided to take a break. You might ask why I am happy. Many (not all) of the operators have had some personal challenges recently that have added so much stress to their lives. Some are having family members who are sick. Others have had a huge shift in the time that they have to devote to 411. As a result, it has become something that they have to do instead of the joy and "value add" in which it was intended. I LOVE seeing people play along and I learn from you. I really try to make the time to see what you've been up to and take the time to leave you a message that "I was there". For some of you, I've watched you grow and develop the way that our blog has through the years. We've grown together! So tonight, I bid you a fond farewell. Please don't think of it as a goodbye forever. We ~ the operators ~ will give ourselves a little break, then re-evaluate. We plan to leave the resource here for anyone to use and when we are ready come back, perhaps it will be in a different way. We are taking an extended leave effective this week. I'll still be by to leave you a comment. Much love to you from all of your operators and from me.<br />

Now. Let's get this last party started!<br />
<br />
This super cute sketch was done in MDS 2. The designer paper was colored using the new "recolor" method. You can pick any designer paper and recolor it based on one monochromatic color. Happiness! To get lots of ideas with regards to MDS, you can check out the online site for the program mydigitalstudio.net and don't forget to ask your demonstrator for help! <br />
<br />
So ~ let's jump in! Potential measurements for this card.<br />
<b>Base Layer:</b> 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"<br />
<b>Layer 2:</b> for the blue section on the bottom, you can either layer something on top, or cut something off, so that the background shows through. The operators this week showed different ways of tackling that element. :)<br />
<b>Layer 3:</b> Ribbon up across the middle (maybe a 5" strip would do?)<br />
<b>Layer 4:</b> a punched shape or two. <br />

Hello everyone! It's Patti, and do I have a sketch for you!!!! It's a square card, and you know how much I adore square cards. I love when Selene and Gretchen design their Saturday Sketch Challenge sketches. They show how gorgeous cards can be made in all shapes and sizes. </div>

Here's some measurements to get you started:</div>
<ol>
<li>Layer One -- Cardstock cut at 4.25 x 8.5", scored and folded to make the Card Base</li>
<li>Layer Two -- Cardstock or DSP cut at 3 x 4"</li>
<li>Layer Three -- Cardstock or DSP cut at 1 x 4" -- cover up "seam" between Layers 2 & 3 with ribbon or a border punched strip of cardstock. Add a bow or knot for visual interest.</li>
<li>Layer Four -- Cardstock cut 1 3/4" square. Mat with a piece of cardstock 1/4" larger.</li>
<li>Layer Five -- Cardstock cut with 1" circle punch. Mat with two larger circle punches.</li>
</ol>

Okay -- now, are you read to be inspired by the Operators and their projects this week? You'll notice that we are a few operators short this week. Life has been crazy for many of us!!! They'll be back with us as soon as they can!!!</div>

<br />
Here's some measurements to get you started:<br />
<ol>
<li>Layer One -- Cardstock cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make the Card Base</li>
<li>Layer Two -- Cardstock or DSP cut at 3 x 5.25"</li>
<li>Layer Three -- Cardstock or DSP cut at 4.24 x 5.25" -- cover up "seam" between Layers 2 & 3 with ribbon or a border punched strip of cardstock</li>
<li>Layer Four -- TWO pieces of cardstock cut at 2 x 3"</li>
<li>Layer Five -- TWO pieces of cardstock cut at 1.75 x 2.75" -- Embellish as desired!</li>
</ol>
Okay -- now, are you read to be inspired by the Operators and their projects this week? Let's go ...<br />

Good Evening Friends!<br />
<br />
It's my favorite time of the week! Saturday Sketch Time!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all that play along with us! I love seeing all the beautiful creations you come up with! <br />
<br />
This week's sketch can be as simple or elaborate as you wish! Just look at the variation in the cards submitted by the operators this week! They are all gorgeous and so very different! Happiness!!<br />
<br />
So how about some potential measurements for this fun sketch. (for specific measurements by the operators, please visit their blogs via the links below). <br />
<br />
<b>Base Layer:</b> 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"<br />
<b>Layer 2:</b> 1 1/2" x 5" with a flag pattern cut into it. You could use ribbon for this layer or whatever suits your fancy. if you're using paper, try using the corner of a square punch to get that shape!<br />
<b>Layer 3: </b>focal point. The image shown is probably about 3 x 3 1/2", but look at your stamps and try making the focal point paper the same size as the block you are stamping with (wood or clear).<br />
<br />
Check out these gorgeous samples!! <br />

Good Evening Friends!<br />
<br />
I hope you are enjoying your summer. Convention kicked off the week for a mini operator break to give us some time to spend with our families when the weather is so nice outside! We will resume doing "top 5" and other "how to" posts around the 1st of September. <br />
<br />
We are still going strong with our sketch challenge and this week's sketch is pretty fun! I hope you have a few moments to play along. With this sketch it may not take you more than that!<br />
<br />
If you're gonna try going square, I recommend trying the 4 1/4" square size with this sketch. You can easily use the focal point on a standard sized card. There's no rules! If you are going 4 1/4" square, could still use the regular medium sized envelope. You will have a little extra room, but wont have to pay the additional postage that's required for mailing a square card (sneaky sneaky selene'e). Here's one set of potential measurements. To find out what the operators did specifically on their creations, just link on over to them.<br />
<br />
Base Layer: 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"<br />
Layer 2 and 3: 2 3/4" squares. (the first one gets applied on the diamond, and the second is a square)<br />
Layer 4: 2 1/2" square (attached on the diamond)<br />
<br />
This is a super fun and whimsical layout! I can't wait to see what you come up with when using it as a jumping off point!<br />
<br />
Although we are "technically" on vacation, we still do hold true to our rules for play. check them out at the bottom before you play along (please). <br />
<br />
Let's see what the AMAZING design team has for you tonight!

Hello Stamping Friends! How are you this evening? We hope that you are
doing fine and have some time carved out for this week's Saturday Sketch
Challenge from the Stamping 411 Operators! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before we get too far into the post, I need to share an announcement with you! This week is the beginning of the Stamping 411 "vacation". Now don't panic ... we'll still have a weekly sketch challenge. However, from now until the first week of September, we won't be posting any "extras" -- Color Challenges, Whatever Posts, etc. And the Operators will not be leaving comments on your blog during this time period. Well, some of us might but you probably won't see as much of us as possible. We need a little down time and thought this would be a good time to take some.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-style: italic;">So, be sure and come back each week for the Sketch Challenge and to see the fabulous inspiration projects that the operators create! </span>And look forward to some really cool things when we get back to full steam in September!</div>

It's pretty straight-forward this week. Just begin with your regular Card Base (5.5 x 8.5", score and fold). Add a strip in the middle (2" wide) and then a large circle or other shape! Now, you thought this was going to be more difficult this week, didn't you! Fooled ya!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now it's YOUR turn! We can't
wait to see where your creativity takes you this week! Just scroll down
to see the inspiration projects from the Operator's this week! Click on
their name to find out more information about their project.</div>

As you can see, there are some layers on this week's card. But, don't be intimidated by them! It's easy when you break it down into steps! Here are some measurements to get you started:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Layer One -- Cardstock cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make the Card Base.</li>
<li>Layer Two -- DSP cut at 5 x 3.75"</li>
<li>Layer Three -- Cardstock cut at 2.75 x 3.25"</li>
<li>Layer Four -- Cardstock (whisper white) cut at 2.5 x 3"</li>
<li>Layer Five -- Cardstock cut at 1 x 2.75" -- attach ribbon over the "seam" and add embellishments and stamping!</li>
</ol>
See, that wasn't so difficult, was it? And now it's YOUR turn! We can't wait to see where your creativity takes you this week! Just scroll down to see the inspiration projects from the Operator's this week! Click on their name to find out more information about their project.<br />

Hi all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vicki here, thanks so much for stopping by today,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you but I don't consider my card done until I finish the inside. What about you? Do you always finish the inside of your cards?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would show a few of my "finished inside and out" cards to give you some ideas for finishing yours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a card I did last year around Christmas time:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While making my flowers for the front, I made another to use on the inside:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I generally start with a layer of colored card stock that matches some I have used on the front. In this case it is a layer of Crumb Cake and then I layered some Confetti Cream card stock and also some embossed Cherry Cobbler. I then added a strip of crumb cake across the embossed piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could just stop here, I finish alot of my cards like this, using embossed card stock or DSP that matches some I have used on the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this card I added the flower that I had made that matches the one on the front. You can stamp a message on the inside, but I always leave mine blank for writing a personal message.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used card stock and DSP like the front and then</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut a couple of extra top notes to add to inside, to mimic the design on the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also stamped a flower like the one used on the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leaving plenty of room for writing a note to the recipient.</div>

Hello stamping friends! It's time for another Saturday Sketch Challenge from the Stamping 411 Operators! We've got a fun sketch for you this week, one that you can make as simple or complex as you wish!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There really aren't any measurements for this week's sketch -- it's a wide-open canvas! All of the Operator inspiration cards began with a Card Base cut at 5.5 x 8.5" (scored and folded) and all added an additional layer cut at 4 x 5.25". From there, let your creativity soar!<br />

It was VERY hot here, but a good time was had by all at Bafoon Lagoon (our nickname for our pool). In fact, we need to add water to the pool because 1. the water was way too warm and 2. the kids sloshed so much out from doing their cannonballs off the diving board! <br />
<br />
On the first Thursday of every month, I am honored to present you with a brand new color challenge. Since the new catalog has been out for over a month now, I thought I would slowly introduce you to the new 2012-2014 In Colors. Today, we are going to play with one of my favorite In Colors: Midnight Muse!!!! If Night of Navy and Not Quite Navy had a baby, they might call it Midnight Muse. Oh, it's such a beautiful color!!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This month's color combination is: Midnight Muse, So Saffron, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. Of course, you can add any neutrals (white, vanilla, crumb cake) to make this combo work for you!!!<br />
<br />
Now, I had to make a sample card for you!!!! In fact, this is my mother-in-law's birthday card. You see, my MIL loves the color red and she adores roses. I grabbed my new stamp set called Stippled Blossoms and got right to work. I do suggest using a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the roses perfectly. <br />
<br />
I used Crumb Cake (a neutral) as my base card. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOK1brMUT6qoF-_rOzxq7l6U-UsNnp6ADFd3vMNP9wgwE8DeCFJU33W4aIewON-pk-FFVjB-tNQzTNWxSsD_0TVa3X1AN_nNxaXNLI5Mv7M4XYTU-WfDwWVt_o62HWi5BlwH3j9WoSCw/s1600/SU411ColorCard172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOK1brMUT6qoF-_rOzxq7l6U-UsNnp6ADFd3vMNP9wgwE8DeCFJU33W4aIewON-pk-FFVjB-tNQzTNWxSsD_0TVa3X1AN_nNxaXNLI5Mv7M4XYTU-WfDwWVt_o62HWi5BlwH3j9WoSCw/s320/SU411ColorCard172.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the next layer, I ran a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock through my Big Shot using the new Fancy Fan embossing folder.<br />
<br />
Next comes my Midnight Muse banner element. I simply took a strip of cardstock and cut the banner edge using one of my square punches!<br />
<br />
For my newsprint layer, I ran a piece of First Edition Specialty dsp through my Big Shot using one of the Labels Framelits. I dragged my Crumb Cake ink pad over this layer using the Direct-to-Paper technique. <br />
<br />
My roses are stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink. Stippled Blossoms is a two step stamp set. That means that it takes more than one stamp to build the image. First I stamp the more solid layer. I ink up this image with Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp off once onto scrap paper and then stamp onto my Very Vanilla cardstock. Using my Stamp-a-ma-jig, I ink up the more detailed image with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamp it full strength. The result is a very beautiful rose. Each of the roses are cut out.<br />
<br />
The leaves are also two step. They are stamped just like the roses but using Old Olive ink.<br />
<br />
Lastly, is the sentiment. I inked up the "Mom" stamp (from the Family Reunion stamp set) using Basic Black ink. I punched it out with the Large Oval punch and inked the edges with Crumb Cake ink. <br />
<br />
All that's left are some Basic Pearls on the left banner edge. <br />
<br />

I'm trying to catch up with all my scrapbooking--this is the 2002 Bermuda Cruise with Stampin' Up! So, I'm only 10 years behind!! :-) My two best friends went with me, and we had a GREAT time!! Here are the supplies I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set; Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and Whisper White cardstock. Scallop Edge Punch and Boho Blossom Punch. I also used the Night of Navy Stampin' Write marker for the journaling and title. Very simple, but that's the way I like to scrapbook--the photos should be the focal point!</div>

I was looking at the design team entries this week, and GHEESH, it looks like Gretchen and I called each other for colors! ;-) What's that about great minds? LOL <br /><br />I hope you're having a wonderful start to your summer and you have some time to spend with those you love. I also hope you have some time to stamp something pretty! This week's sketch can certainly aid in that process! :) <br /><br />So to get started lets talk about some potential measurements. This can be a very simple layout or more elaborate based on what you're feeling today. One possible set of measurements could be:<br /><br />Base: 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Layer 2: (represented by the dsp on the left) a strip measuring 2 x 5"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Layer 3: Ribbon, or a strip of paper 4 1/4" x 1/2"<br />Layer 4: 3 x 4"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Layer 5: 1/2" strip of paper, or any sentiment.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Feel free to substitute shapes and let your creativity go free! I cant wait to see what you'll make! Here are the operator samples for this week. </span></div>

I just want to share a little something with
y'all. Only because I discovered people don't know how to mount their
stamps properly.<br />
I guess I shouldn't say that, as everyone might do it
differently and that's all good but here is the way I do mine if you are
interested. Also a few tips at the bottom I just discovered. So make
sure to read on.....<br />

Up! Stamps come in rubber sheets as seen above. You pop one out and
then find the label on the sheet of labels to affix to it. All you have
to do if find the image and peel off the paper covering like shown.</li>

<li>Now
for the tips and Tricks!!! I take my Two Way Glue Pen and squiggle a
little of it onto the image...now you know when Two- Way Glue dries it
becomes like Post-it Note Glue!!! So for climate like mine (Sunny
Florida) I can really use a little help with my clear stamps sticking to
the Acrylic Blocks. Anyway make sure to let it dry for about 15-20
minutes and it works beautifully! AND...it leaves no residue on your
blocks!</li>
</ul>
....by the way....I do the whole set at once to save time.<br />

<ul>
<li>Just
like this and attach to the Clear Mount Case it came in. Now you have a
little organized storage for your stamps. So when you open your box
they don't go flying everywhere! I've done that several times.....hehe</li>

Hello everyone and welcome to a new Saturday Sketch Challenge on
Stamping 411! We're so glad that you've decided to visit us and we hope
you find something to inspire you here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week's sketch gives you lots of opportunity for creativity! You can change it around, flip it, add texture, embellishments, pattern and have fun with it! We can't wait to see what you are able to create with this new
sketch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To get you started, here are some possible measurements:</div>
<ol>
<li>Layer One -- Cardstock or DSP cut to 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make your Card Base</li>
<li>Layer Two -- 3.5 x 4.5"</li>
<li>Layer Three -- A strip cut at 1 x 5.25" -- finish edge with Border Punch or Edgelet</li>
<li>Layer Four -- 2 x 3" -- add embellishments, ribbon and stamped images</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can make this as clean and simple OR as elaborate as you like. It
depends on your taste, your creativity and the amount of time you want
to spend crafting! Let's see what the operators have to offer you
this week. :)</div>

This week's sketch gives you a wide-open canvas to work with and the option to either include or not include a sentiment on the front of the card! We can't wait to see what you are able to create with this new sketch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To get you started, here are some possible measurements:</div>
<ol>
<li>Layer One -- Cardstock cut to 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make your Card Base</li>
<li>Layer Two -- 4 x 5.25"</li>
<li>Layer Three -- 3.75 x 5"</li>
<li>Layer Four -- 3 5/8 x 4 7/8"</li>
<li>Layer Five -- 1.5 x 3"</li>
<li>Layer Six -- 1 3/8 x 2 7/8" - embellish as desired</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can make this as clean and simple OR as elaborate as you like. It
depends on your taste, your creativity and the amount of time you want to spend crafting! Let's see what the operators have to offer you
this week. :)</div>

Flowers, flowers, EVERYWHERE! Flowers are blooming, not only outside but also at Stamping 411! We had some gorgeous entries for this past week's sketch challenge. Here are your Operator Picks for Saturday Sketch Challenge #258.gbarron56http://www.blogger.com/profile/01908423534363122322noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570020638583005934.post-51977223641107202032012-06-07T08:45:00.000-04:002012-06-07T08:45:00.421-04:00Color Inspiration Challenge with a TwistWow! It's June.....already!!!! I think I've been in denial that June was coming because my baby graduates from high school. My goodness.....time really does fly!<br />
<br />
Just thinking about Amanda's graduation had me thinking about this month's Stamping 411 Color Inspiration Challenge. <br />
<br />
Let's try something different this month. Rather than me giving you specific colors to work with, I am challenging our readers to make a project using your high school's colors.<br />
<br />
I graduated from John Jay High School in Hopewell Junction, New York. We were called the Patriots, and our school colors were a dark and medium blue. <br />
<br />
I chose to make my card with Midnight Muse (a brand new In Color) and Marina Mist. Ooooohhh, these colors look so pretty together!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrRYNIhZV5ZT6H5r_0MAaF1jATCa7q-RGXI6U4xD1NnJ-zpaamkGS8rbGKvcdIHJRaKTTlWG9qQQi2AWadbpyrvuqnWn4Ym3O4WV404sFOot1MZGSiW1qkv7V4Cx3JWHoPdsvCHl0wOg/s1600/SU411ColorComboCard171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrRYNIhZV5ZT6H5r_0MAaF1jATCa7q-RGXI6U4xD1NnJ-zpaamkGS8rbGKvcdIHJRaKTTlWG9qQQi2AWadbpyrvuqnWn4Ym3O4WV404sFOot1MZGSiW1qkv7V4Cx3JWHoPdsvCHl0wOg/s320/SU411ColorComboCard171.jpg" width="278" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also played with a brand new stamp set called Everything Eleanor. I just love this plaque image. It's the perfect backdrop for so many things. I love the simplicity of just adding a sentiment (from Petite Pairs). In fact, the simplicity of this card is what makes me love it so much. All it needed was some texture (from my Square Lattice embossing folder) and some ribbon (Marina Mist Scalloped Polka Dot ribbon).<br />
<br />
So, are you ready to take the "high school color challenge"? I hope so!!!!! I'm going to put a Linky Tool at the bottom of this post so you can link your project's web address to our blog. You have the entire month to work on this challenge!!!! I can't wait to see your high school colors in all their glory!
