Family Love Galvanized Hanger by designer Patty Folchert

Have you had a chance to play with any Mix the Media surfaces yet? I just love them and wanted to share a project made with the small galvanized surface today. This little hanger just needed a new Hampton Art chevron stamp, some paper, ink and stitching to transform it into a playful home décor piece.

Family Love Galvanized Hanger by Patty Folchert

First I started with some Yellow Salt paper as a backer mat, layered on some brand new Sew Sweet Sunshine Soup rainbow chevron paper called:  Sew Creative. Then I stitched them together for texture and to add to the “sew sweet” theme. Then using red sticky strip tape attached it to my surface. Then I added my family photo with adhesive centered as shown.  Then I grabbed the fun new mini placemat cut-out shapes from Sew Sweet Sunshine collection and add the hoop and heart . As backers for them I stamped in rainbow colors the New Hampton art chevron background stamp and adhered to the back of the cut-outs. Then I added a sheer white ribbon behind the heart and a wood star button on top of the heart. Last I added a mini rub-on sentiment of “LOVE” in cross-stitch design with a wire word “family”.

Can’t wait to hang it up in my house, but this would make a great gift project too…

Family Rocks,

Patty Folchert

Happy Birthday Pillow Box by designer Patty Folchert

Occasionally I want to give someone special a gift card but also want to add just a little something extra, like candy or jewelry. These kraft pillow boxes by Jillibean Soup are the perfect solution, and add some new Hampton Art clear stamps and you can personalize for any occasion.

This is so quick and easy. Grab your kraft pillow box and stamp an image in your chosen color, I used pink for the balloons. Next stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock; I used navy ink and fussy cut as shown. Last I layered the sentiment with 3D foam dots onto some new Jillibean Soup Sew Sweet Sunshine Soup paper and cut in triangle shape as shown.

Then just slide in your giftcard and any little goodies like candy or a small gift and seal by tying a ribbon around it and finish with a bow. Presto!; a super easy and quick gift that you can customize for any occasion.

Party On,

Patty Folchert

Time to Shine card by designer Patty Folchert

Here is a go to card for all those princesses in our lives. This card is a sweet combination of KI Memories papers and two new Hampton Art Wood stamps.

Time To Shine card by Patty Folchert

I just adored the crown stamp and had to try it out. I began by stamping it in pink ink onto plain white cardstock and then fussy cut it out and set aside. I also found some really fun KI Memories paper tape with the multi-color flower on it and decided to use it to create my mat panel. The base of the card was covered in KI Memories 6x6 paper with teal herringbone print as shown. Next I stamped in navy blue the sentiment “Time to Shine” onto grid paper. With just one additional plain teal cardstock I had all my pieces ready.

Next I layered them all together as shown adding the orange matted cardstock to the sentiment cut-out with 3D foam dots for dimension. All that was left was to go bling crazy on the crown, and so I did. I used several different sizes and colors of gemstones for that final touch.

This card sentiment allows for several different occasions, could be Birthday, promotion, baptism, dance recital, even a big ball game. Anything for the royalty in our lives!

Shine On,

Patty Folchert

Embrace Today card by designer Patty Folchert

Share a colorful card made from scraps encouraging a friend to embrace today. This stamp is from a fabulous brand new Hampton Art clear stamp set.

Embrace Today card by Patty Folchert

I reached for a coordinating orange print from the Cool as a Cucumber Jillibean Collection as the card base. Next I made a template and cut out from scraps the parallelograms, these are all from the wonderful new Sew Sweet Sunshine Soup collection. Then I sorted and aligned them in lines as shown and machine stitched them in place to add some texture. Then I stamped the sentiment onto plain white cardstock in navy blue ink, loving how it pops right off the card. I attached with 3D foam dots and added the bakers twine in green and white to finish it off with a bow.

A fun, enjoy the moment, type card- perfect for the summer months distribution. Are you enjoying your summer? I am too!; Can’t wait to head to the County Fair tonight with my familyJ.

Embrace Today,

Patty Folchert

Let's Celebrate card by designer Deborah Nolan

Good morning, card makers, and welcome back to the Hampton Art blog!
Today's card is a one layer affair that focuses on color and sparkle to carry the day.

Let's Celebrate card by Deborah Nolan

S  U  P  P  L  I  E  S
Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup stamp set (Jillibean Soup); Cardstock; Inks (black, peach, grapefruit, rose; Colored Pencils: Spectrum Noir, PrismaColor; Other: silver glitter, double-sided tape, Sakura rollerball glue pen; Tools: paper cutter, scoreboard, bone folder, MISTI, Post-It notes, Eclipse Masking Paper
I  N  S  T  R  U  C  T  I  O  N  S

1. Make a 4.25” x 5.5” card base and round bottom corners.
2. Make two masks of flower stamp.
3. Stamp left flower and adhere mask. Stamp top flower and adhere mask. Stamp bottom flower and remove both masks; correct halos with black fine point pen if needed.
4. Ink sentiment and stamp using graduated colors of ink (see TIP below for instructions).
5. Color flowers with pencils.
6. "Color" stamens with glue pen and apply glitter.
7. Adhere strip of double-sided tape to bottom of card and apply glitter.

T I P
You don't need an hombre ink pad to get great hombre results with a sentiment! Using a MISTI, stamp the top portion of the sentiment using the lightest ink color, then wipe off the ink, and cover that portion of the stamp with a Post-It note. Reink with the next darkest color, stamp, wipe ink from stamp and reposition the Post-It note further down the stamp. Repeat using a darker ink and repositioning the Post-It note until you're finished! (If you use the MISTI and don't remove the stamp, you will have perfect placement of each layer of ink: no blurriness, no fuzzy edges, etc.
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
