All the Good Things Stamp Set
Happy Friday, My Hoot-a-riffic Peeps!
Today, my family and I are on the road from Wisconsin to sunny & warm Florida for Spring Break. We are taking the scenic route and enjoying some close-knit time on the way. We will arrive in Florida on Sunday and splitting our time between two resorts. I cannot wait, we have nothing planned but to sit back and relax…which is much needed after an end to a crazy winter and hockey season.
I didn’t have time to make any new creations while prepping for our trip, but I did remember this card that I made back in October 2018 and had yet to share it. This stamp set is from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, which I feel has been lost in the shuffle of the Holiday and Occasions Catalogs. If you haven’t sat down and looked through the annual catalog lately, take a minute and see what you’ve missed. Need a catalog? Request one here.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
Cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4. Using an Aqua Painter, add a watercolor wash of Calypso Coral Classic Ink. Let dry completely. Use the Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment in Cajun Craze Ink. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color the Koi using the brush ends of a Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker. Huff on the stamp to rejuvenate the ink, and stamp onto Whisper White Cardstock. Snip with a Paper Snips and adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels that have been colored with a Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend.
Watercolor wash is such an easy technique to create a background fit for a masterpiece. Tips: Use an Aqua Painter (water only) to first wet the cardstock. This helps the ink float arounds and not soak immediately into the cardstock. Let dry completely and add more layers of ink to get the ink edge created when the two layers dry.

Geared Up Garage with the Stamp Review Crew
Geared Up Garage!!
I love to make masculine cards and the Geared Up Garage Bundle and Classic Garage Suite are amazing products from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Occasions Catalog.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Use a Stampin’ Trimmer to cut a piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of Basic Black Cardstock to 4 1/16 x 5 5/16″. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Zip a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock through the Big Shot, with the Garage Gear Thinlit Die and Big Shot Embossing Mats. Stamp the background (Geared Up Garage) in Smoky Slate Ink, using 2nd Generation Stamping (stamp off onto scratch paper first). Adhere to the card with Snail Adhesive.
- Use the Big Shot and Garage Gears Thinlits to crop various gears in Basic Black Cardstock.
- Stamp the toolbox in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White Thick Cardstock. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and coordinating die. Color with Light & Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends. Adhere the gears to the back with Snail Adhesive. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment (Itty Bitty Birthdays) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Smoky Slate Cardstock. Trim to size and flag the end with the Tailored Tag Punch. Adhere as shown with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Add three pieces of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape in the upper left corner. Add a Classic Garage Metal Element with a Mini Glue Dot. Add three Best Route Enamel Shapes for a final touch.
I love using the Big Shot Embossing Mats to get more ways to use my dies. The large gear die was the perfect for showcasing what the Embossing Mats can do for you!
Smoky Slate is the perfect color for a masculine creation. Add in a touch of black and some REal Red for a pop of color and you have a simple birthday card for that special man in your life.

The Geared Up Garage Bundle is perfect for a masculine paper craft creation. I decided to stick with two cards to inspire you.

Stamp the “Best Dad” image in Pumpkin Pie Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Blend with a Blender Pen. Crop with the Big Shot and coordinating die.
Use the Big Shot to crop a piece of Basic Black Cardstock with the coordinating die (sign frame). Press the edges into a Versamark Pad, cover with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Stamp the car image in Jet Black Stāzon onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, and coordinating Garage Gear Thinlit Die. Color with an Aqua Painter, Smoky Slate and Pumpkin Pie Ink. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
