Sheltering Tree 5

Hi Everyone! Today is the last day of the Sheltering Tree cards. Hope you aren't sick of them! Instead I hope you have found inspiration to make more! The last one I have for you is a happy one. Full of bright colours. Maybe it will remind you of spring! Here in Ontario, Canada it has been EXTREMELY cold this winter! I don't mind the snow (actually we love it), but the -40 cold we could do without! Anyway, back to my card...

The DSP I used for this one is from the New Occasions catalog called Painted Blooms DSP. The colour is Daffodil Delight, however I think you could use any of our (Stampin' Up!'s) yellows (except maybe So Saffron, a little too light). 

Card Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Painted Blooms DSP, 

Inks: Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight

Stamps: Sheltering Tree, Papillon Potpourri, Express Yourself (retired)

Accessories: Starburst Framelits, Circle Framelits, Small Butterfly punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Best of Butterflies

Hi Everyone! Today's, card is a wedding card. One of my friends is getting married this Saturday! Exciting isn't it! I wanted something elegant for them. I had made another card, but I like this one much better. I hope they do too!

This Butterfly is from the stamp set "Best of Butterflies" unfortunately you can't get it any more. Absolutely one of my favorite butterflies! However, we have another really great butterfly set called Papillon (butterfly in French) Potpourri. It comes with 7 stamps, 3 large butterflies, 3 small butterflies and antennae. Stampin' Up! also made 2 punches that coordinate with both sizes of Butterflies (no cutting them out!). Totally awesome!

Sunsets!

Hi Everyone! Spring is here! The trees have buds, and the tulips and daffodils are up! So exciting! It means that summer is around the corner, and that means cottage time, which means Sunsets! (we live in the city, so we don't get to see very many sunsets from here). What in the world does that have to do with stamping, well let me tell you!

 

I recreated a sunset using the 'Work of Art and Wetlands" stamp sets. (Oh, I can wait to go to the cottage!). I used Whisper White as my card base, layered with Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, then Whisper White to stamp on. Lately, most of my cards have had multiple layers!

 

First I stamped the 'sky' in Pumpkin Pie (stamped off once), then the 'sun' in So Saffron, followed by the 'water' in Marina Mist, and the 'sand' in Baked Brown Sugar. For the greeting and the birds, I used Black Stazon. I then tied Baker's Twine, 3 times around, with the knot at the front.

 

For this card, I changed the 'sand' colour to crumb cake. I think I like it better. Which one do you like better?

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron

 

Inks: Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake or Baked Brown Sugar, Black Stazon

 

Stamp Sets: Wetlands, Work of Art, Express Yourself (retiring)

 

Accessories: White Baker's Twine

Today I have for you something a little different. I wanted to show you, that you could use the same background, but just change the main stamp set and you get a completely different card. Know what I mean? Good thing I have photos!

 

See what I mean now? (I probably should have changed one of the greetings. Oops! Anyway, hopefully you get the idea).

Best Wishes

Good day to all! The rain has finally stopped here and I think the sun just might make an appearance. However, the rain gave me more time to spend crafting!

Today I have for you a card using once again the "Simple Stems" stamp set. I absolutely love it! This one doesn't look at all like yesterday's card. I hope you can see how versatile this stamp set can be. Enjoy!

 

You can't tell from the photo, but I used Very Vanilla instead of Whisper White. It has a very Victorian feel to it I think. Maybe that is why I like it so much!
