Oh, Hello!

Hi Everyone, or should I say oh, hello!!!

I know I have said it many times before and I am going to say it again, use your catalogue for inspiration! That's what it is for! You don't have to copy it exactly. 

This is one I cased from our catalogue using different stamps. I used it as a sketch.

You could change the tree to an: ice cream cone, heart, star, flower, etc!

Find a layout that you like and make it your own!

Check out those Dimensionals!!

I did stamp off once for the clouds. I wanted really light clouds. Ink up your stamp, stamp off on a scrap piece of paper, then stamp on your card = stamping off.

Always Thinking of You!

Hi Everyone! We FINALLY have beautiful weather here! I am just itching to get to my gardens~ How about you??

I have to tell you a little story...

So, the other day I sat down at my desk all ready to work on a card. 

Guess what!?? 

My Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer was missing! The world is coming to an end!

I couldn't find it any where. 

Of course panic is setting in... then I remember I was over at a friends house Friday night using it. 

I ask her if she has seen it. Nope, she never found an extra one. 

Really starting to panic now, you know heart palpation's, shortness of breath and everything! I ask her to please check again!

Guess what!? Yep, she had it! All smiles and sunshine now!

Here is my card for you today. I saw this sketch on Pinterest and knew I had to recreate it. 

This is one of those sketches that is perfect for using up small pieces of DSP, that we all have!

I did not use any Dimensionals on the circles, because I wanted the banner to be the main focus.

You could always change the circles to balloons! Oh, I might try that. Keep checking back!

Gift Tag Cutie!

Hi Everyone! This cute little card only measures 3" x 3", perfect for a gift tag! I love making these!

My mom used to give them out with presents instead of regular size cards. They are so easy to attach to any gift. 

Plus, they are so easy to make if you are pressed for time (you know, when your kids come home and say they need a card right away!)

As not to loose the tea cup because the DSP so busy, I used our 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch in Bermuda Bay to give it a solid back foundation. Of course I used Dimensionals!

I just have to say, isn't that tea bag just so cute!

Paper:

Bermuda Bay 6" x 6"

Flowering Fields

Hi Everyone! For today's card I am using one of the FREE stamp sets you can get through Sale-A-Bration right now (need more information please send me a message).

If you like to colour than this is a stamp set for you! I also added Wink of Stella and it looks amazing! It adds just the right amount of glitter.

I was going to put a bow on this card, however there is absolutely no room for one. So, I just went with a ribbon running through the back.

The squares are popped up with dimensionals. The Pearls on each square ties it all together.

Just for You Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Today is a very special day here. It's our baby girls' 10th Birthday (okay, she isn't a baby anymore, but she will always be mine). Where did the time go!

I knew the new DSP (designer series paper) Love Blossoms would be perfect for her card, and the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set Botanicals For You matches wonderfully.

Lately I have been on a sketch hunt. I search out sketches and then remake that card. This one is from Mojo Monday sketch #418. They have amazing sketches. Try one and let me know what you think.

Sky is the Limit

Hi everyone! Today's card is all about the Free stamp set you can get during Sale-A-Bration (if you need more information please send me a message).

 As soon as I saw this set, I knew it would be mine! I love everything about it, from the font style - to the images.

As an added bonus it goes really well with the World Embossing folder, and the Tree Builder punch (makes great clouds). That is why I love Stampin' Up! so much. They have done all the coordinating for you. 

I guess I should probably tell you how I made the card! 

First I cut all my pieces, then I brayered the World Embossing Folder with Soft Sky, ran that through the Big Shot. 

Stamped my Birthday greeting in Night of Navy, then assembled all the layers.

I punched out the clouds in Vellum using the Tree Builder Punch. I adhered them with a glue pen. Make sure you put the glue in unnoticeable spots.

Stamped the plane and the tail clouds on a separate piece of Whisper White in Night of Navy as well. A little bit of Fussy cutting and they were done.

For the propeller I used the Small Flower Punch, then trimmed it to look one. Pierced a whole through the propeller and the plane, then added the silver brad. Of course the plane has Dimensionals behind it. There you have it!

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", Night of Navy 4" x 5 1/4", Smokey Slate 3 3/4" x 5", Whisper White 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", Vellum and extra Whisper White

Inks: Soft Sky, Night of Navy

Stamps: Sky is the Limit

Accessories: Tree Builder Punch, Glue Pen, Brayer, World Embossing Folder, Brad, Small Flower punch, Dimensionals, Big Shot
