Moroccan Birthday

Hi Everyone! Don't you just love our (Stampin' Up!'s) Designer Series Paper! You can do so much with it! It can be used for: gift wrap, making tags, making boxes, making cards, any sort of paper project you can think of! The added bonus is that everything is coordinated to match everything. That means all the colours that you see on the DSP (Designer Series Paper) we have matching cardstock for! No more guessing or coming really close to matching the colours. 

Since we are coming into the fall season around here, I thought the Moroccan DSP would be perfect to make a Birthday card.

Just look at that rich brown (Early Espresso)!

The colours are Early Espresso, Delightful Dijon, Very Vanilla, and Emerald Envy.

Of course I used Dimensionals! I think I just might be Queen of the Dimensionals! lol

Be sure to check out my new Etsy Shop!

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Happy Stamping!

Sending Wishes Your Way...

 Hi Everyone! Today I am showcasing another card I made using paper from the Affectionately Yours DSP paper pack. I love our Stampin' Up! paper packs, because all the work is done for you. They give us the list of colours that they use in each paper pack so that we don't have any miss matched colours! Brilliant and so easy!!

This card has a Crumb Cake base with a piece of Night of Navy embossed using the retired Perfectly Polka Dot Embossing folder.

I used the Triple Banner punch for the banners. It makes them perfect every time! 

The ribbon is in Crumb Cake.

The greeting is hand stamped in Night of Navy on a Crumb Cake decorative label.

Yes, I used Dimensionals to pop everything up!

Happy Stamping!

Affectionately Yours Birthday!

Hi Everyone! How was your summer? I miss my kids already, how about you?

Some exciting news to share with you... I am giddy with excitement... I can hardly wait to tell you! ... I have opened my very own Etsy Shop! Exciting or what??

It is for you to be able to purchase any of my cards that you see here! 

I have a button on the right side bar so that you can go directly to my Etsy Shop any time you want to shop away! (To tell you the truth I am still a little nervous about it all. Do you know how hard it is to describe your card or project!? Feel free to leave me a message here with any suggestions.).


On to my card, because that is why you stopped by isn't it!!?

This one is using the beautiful new Affectionately Yours DSP and the greeting is from Tin of Cards. It has elegant copper flower accents all over it!

The colours are: Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Watermelon Wonder, and Affectionately Yours DSP.

See those copper flower accents? Just beautiful!

It needed a little something extra and the Linen thread did the trick!

I know the Starburst Framelits have been discontinued, but that doesn't mean you can't use them!

I sponged around the edges of the circle, only a little bit. I didn't want too much ink to show, just enough to blend the circle and starburst together.

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Happy Stamping!

Make a Wish!

Hi Everyone! Normally this would be Throwback Thursday, but since it is the summer and I am not posting 6 days a week, I thought this would be okay!

Yesterday I posted about a card I made using the new Serene Scenery DSP. This is the other card that I made using the rest of that DSP. You don't want to waste any paper!

'Make a' came from the stamp set Sweeet Cupcake, and the 'wish' is from the matching framelits. I think they are perfect together with the DSP!

Confession time! I can tie a ribbon bow no problem, I can even tie a nice flat knot, but I can't tie bows with string or bakers twine! Yes, it's true!! Usually one of the loops is twisted.

I did however manage to on this card, I'm pretty proud! Do you have trouble tying bows with string and bakers twine like me??

Supplies:

Paper:

Delightful Dijon

Wish Big!

Hi Everyone! How is your summer going so far? Lovely weather here! Are you getting any crafting done? I must admit it has been difficult for me to get into my craft room. 

Today's card is made using the new Serene Scenery DSP. I am not usually a fan of real life looking DSP, because I personally find it hard to use. However, as soon as I saw this sheet I knew what I wanted to do with it!

Clean and Simple, yet still very elegant. The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts, which was perfect for this card!

Don't you just love the Bold Butterfly Framelits?? It looks so delicate!

Swirly Thank you!

Hi Everyone! It's official, today is the last day of school here! Let the summer vacation begin!! I hope you all have crafty plans for the summer! (This year during the summer I will only be posting 3 days a week instead of 6. I hope you all understand!)

Today is all about thanking the wonderful teacher's out there that do such a great job with our kids!

Not sure about you, but Swirly Bird is one of those stamp sets that are completely out of my comfort zone. Because you mostly random stamp which is not my thing! Getting better at it though!

I completely cased this one! Yep, I did! 

See those small gold dots?? There are embossed! Cool or what!? I made them using this really cool Versa Marker that one of my customers gave me for Christmas! Thank you!

We made this teacher an Aromatherapy bracelet too! 

As you can see I tried to make the card have the same colours as the bracelet. I think it worked out great! 

Of course this pretty little bracelet needed a pretty little package. It was supposed to be the same package as the other Aromatherapy Bracelet that we made for another teacher, however I forgot one score line. So, it turned into this!

I stamped all over the Whisper White cardstock. I changed it a little from the card.

It's a triangle box with no sides! Pretty cool eh? I love how everything turned out!

Confession... I completely forgot to take a picture of the card and the package together! Can't now because the teacher already has their gift! Oops!

An aromatherapy bracelet that we (my daughter and I) made ourselves! Super easy and fun too! 

There are black lava beads on the bracelet that you can put essential oils on. Great for when you are having a very stressful day, or when you need a little pick me up. You can put whatever essential oil you want on the lava beads.

Congratulations!

Hi Everyone! Today's card is a new one for me. I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. For some of you this isn't new and not hard at all. But, for me it was very challenging. 

I thought I had to have the images completely straight in order for it to look nice, however I think it looks great. What do think? Can you even tell that I did the background words?

I started stamping the sentiment in the middle and worked my way up, then I worked my way down. I have no idea if that is the way to do it, but it worked for me!

There are 2 dimensionals (on top of one another) under the middle star, while the outside two have just one.

Since this is a Graduation card, I needed a little gift bag to go with it. You can find the instructions here.

 You would be surprised a what you can actually fit in that cute little treat bag!

Here they are all matchy matchy! What do you think?

Supplies for the card only:

Paper:

Rich Razzleberry

Whisper White

Rich Razzleberry DSP
