Ditto Day (almost) for Timeless Talk Stamp a Stack

That title is quite a mouthful!  The follow cards fit several categories.

1. Ditto Day, when I duplicate something from the Annual Catalog, or closely copy (I changed a color and added some extra card stock for more color).
2. Timeless Talk - the name of this set.
3. Stamp a Stack - this was Friday Night's Stamp a Stack set.

Stamps Well With Others Recipe:

Stamp Set - Timeless Talk (w-126605 / c-126607)
Card Stock - Whisper White (8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and 5" x 3 3/4"), Baked Brown Sugar, Calypso Coral and Island Indigo (5 1/4" X 4")

Tools - Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049)

Now, I know what you're thinking, "What the heck is a Stamp-a-ma-jig" or "oh no.... I can't use the Stamp-a-ma-jig!"  Well, I have news for you, Stampin' Up! has an awesome video on how to use it.  Check it out below.

(If you are reading this via email, be sure to go directly to my blog to see the video.)

Ditto Day Returns with Cheers Card

With the new catalog out and new projects inside, I decided it was time for a new attempt at Ditto Day.  A day where I make one of the cards or projects from the catalog.

This one can be found on page 36.  I actually was going to do this at a workshop, but decided since it was a group of newbies, that maybe fussy cutting the straw and the umbrella would be too much, so I didn't duplicate them for the card.

The hardest part of this card is fussy cutting the drink glasses and accessories, but as my BFF once told me, she loves to fussy-cut, she says it's relaxing... and you know, I have to agree, it's not so bad.  

The trick to remember is move your paper, not your scissors.  Have your scissors open to a comfortable position and slowly begin cutting, but as you cut, move the paper in your hand and hold your scissors in the same position and then just gently cut slowly around the image.

Ditto Day

Are you ready for another Ditto Day? 

This one comes from page 55 in the current Idea Book and Catalog.  I just love this stamp set!  If you've been following this blog you'll see it back a couple of days in the Thank You cards that Linda and I made.  This one uses the same stamp but with different sentiments.

Here is the recipe for this card:

Not So Seriously stamp set (w-123085 / c-123087); Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy and Old Olive card stock; Watercolor Paper; Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso Ink Pads; Brights Brads; Regals Designer Buttons; Linen Thread; Stampin' Dimensionals; Aqua Painter and the Scallop Trim Border Punch.

I really enjoy using the watercolor papers and then applying the ink from the lid of the ink pads.  Love the water color look and how pretty the colors blend and soften.

I hope you've enjoyed this Ditto Day posting.  Keep watching for more.

Ditto Day

I got this great idea from another Blogger - Diana Gibbs (also from around here and whom I hope to meet someday).  Every Monday she copies a project from the Idea Book and Catalog and calles it Mimeograph Monday.  For the younger generation, you'll need to look up Mimeograph to see what it is... lol... I personally used the Mimeograph in High School, so I'm ahead of the game.  :)

Since I obviously don't want to copy (or mimeograph) Diana's idea exactly, I've decided to do the same idea - but by making my own projects from the IB&C or a current Mini.  I know that I don't have as much time to create like some of the Demo's do, so I decided to call mine "Ditto Day" thanks to the thesaurus and bouncing ideas off of Brittney.  Thank you Brittney!  Ditto Day could come any day of the week, so keep your eyes open for Ditto Day!

SO, today is my first Ditto Day.  This comes from page 66 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  You too can find the details from my blog here in the side column or by clicking Stampin' Supplies < here.

Products use:  Bring on the Cake Set (w-121899 c-121958); Pool Party, Soft Suede and Whisper White Card Stock; Rose Red Card Stock (the recipe calls for textured, but I used smooth); Subtles Patterns DSP; Jet Black StazOn Pad; 2011-2013 In Color, Pink Pirouette and So Saffron Stampin' Write Markers; White Bakers Twine; Regals Designer and Subtles Designer Buttons; Stampin' Dimensionals; Scallop Trim Punch; Big Shot, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I hope you enjoy and look for a project to search out and try too.  Feel free to email me a picture and details and I'd be happy post you as a featured stamper! 

Thanks for peeking in.
