February is about love....people and coffee and chocolate!

 

Stampin' Up! has several new items in their Online exclusive section. LOOK at this DSP called A Little Latte! It coordinates with a stamp set and die bundle called Latte Love. It is amazing. You can almost smell the coffee as you work with this set. 

I know the picture does not do this justice. The French Press is so unique! It has a die that will cut window sheet for the "glass" and another die to even cut the "coffee" on the inside. Just so you know, I tried glueing real coffee grounds to the "coffee" for a more realistic image, but it was an epic fail. The coffee beans are stamps and dies also. You see the three "stages" with the images? Watch the short video below to see the action as the card opens. 

Here is another card  (for my precious niece who just turned 18) using some of the same DSP but with another theme.






So what do you think? This card can be made in any size card really, but you have to adjust the size of the inner cards on the flip mechanism. For the A2 card, the flip mechanism is 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide, scored at 1 1/2 inches on the long side. Score also from the left upper corner to the mid right corner; also score from the mid right corner to the lower left. Fold and burnish all score lines well. For a video on exactly how to make a similar card and all the details (for a 5x7 card), check out Kylie Bertucci's PDF store and choose the Zoo Crew class tutorial bundle. Kylie's PDF store
Of course here at Newstalgia Stamping, I love to mix up the "old" with the "new." I combined the Nothing's Better Than bundle with the brand new Latte Love bundle and the A Little Latte DSP (visit the online exclusive site on my website). In card number 2, I also added in the Share a Milkshake bundle.

Happy New Year 2024!

 I can't believe it has been so long since I posted something! Well, I have a pretty good excuse though. I have had my son and his family (he and his wife, plus a 4 and 2 year old) living with us until their house was finished. They have moved in and loving their new home. As most can imagine, you don't craft seriously with a 2 year old nearby! Don't get me wrong....I let them craft and use their imaginations and creativity....under somewhat controlled situations however. 

I love to follow Pinkbuckaroo's blog and You Tube channel (Erica Cerwin) from San Antonio, Texas. I recently purchased her calendar tutorial. I had the most fun creating them! I began trying to copy her tutorial verbatim but then I ventured out and began designing my own. I hope to continue this every year! Using the stamp set from Stampin' Up! (SU!) called Days to Remember (page 104 in the Annual catalog) is SO easy use. As chance would have it, a seven day numerical length is exactly the size of a SU! stamp pad width!  I have other calendar sets from other companies in fact, and have tried this endeavor many years before.....it was so difficult that I gave up. I whipped these calendars out in a matter of 5 days, working only a few hours a day. 

I enjoyed using current products and retired products, melting them into one fun project. That is what Newstalgia Stamping is all about! 

This box was designed from a tutorial by Maymay Made It. 

Katelyn, my 8 year old granddaughter decided we needed to start marking out past days with a highlighter. Good idea Katelyn!


I think this one is my personal favorite.









Do you have a favorite?

New projects and opportunities for fall 2023!!

Check out the new links on the right to take you to the new catalog and see the new DSP in the Online Exclusive section of the website!

Here are some cards I made this month using some of the products from the new Mini catalog as well as some pre-existing products. The Autumn DSP is so pretty! It has a copper tone running through the paper on one side; the other side shows gorgeous autumn photos. 

New Masks used with blending brushes and Crushed Curry, Wheat, and Copper Clay. I cut out masks of the flowers before stenciling the leaves with Old Olive. The centers the flowers are sponged with a Delicate Copper Ink pad. The flowers and leaves are outlines with Pool Party to add a little depth. I love using metallic paint markers to outline layers to give them some shine and tie in the colors a little better. I used a copper paint marker on the edges of both layers. The embellishment dots are the made using the new Enamel Effects drops in copper.
