Three Little Words & Vintage Vogue

Here is a card I will be making with a class in Rising Sun, MD today.  Isn’t it lovely!  I used the Vintage Vogue and Three Little Words stamp sets along with the Very Vintage jumbo wheel.  The colors are Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.

Very Vintage Jumbo Stampin' Around Wheel

When I do anything vintage in style I always like to use one of our sponges and some ink to give the edges an older look.  It’s amazing how much difference a little sponge and ink can make!  If I made this same card and did no sponging on either the Sahara Sand or Very Vanilla cardstock there would be a very big difference and the vintage style would be lost.  The un-sponged version would look very stark and I guess you could say “new.”

Chocolate Chip Epoxy Brad

Do you see the smallest little flower, the white one?  That is one of our Chocolate chip Epoxy Brads from the Occasions Mini catalog.  I just love those little brads!  The pack comes with half of the brads being these little flowers and half are Chocolate Chip and white stripes.  It’s easy to overlook these on page 13 of the Occasions Mini catalog and since the catalog is only going to be around until the end of April, I want to make sure you don’t miss them!

Of course I also used the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Trim Border Punch, it’s one of my favorite punches!  It’s hard to believe this punch and the other Sale-A-Bration times are only going to available for free for just a little longer.  If you haven’t gotten your free items yet be sure to contact me soon!

Thank you for stopping by and maybe even leaving a comment!  I look forward to stamping with the ladies in Rising Sun, MD this afternoon and I hope they will enjoy making this card along with the others!

Vintage Label Card

This is a card I’ve been wanting to share with you for a little while now.  I just like it so much!  Of course you know I love Chocolate chip and it goes so wonderfully with Pretty in Pink and our new Sending Love Specialty DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boho Blossom Punch

I made these little flowers with the Boho Blossom Punch and mounted them onto the image stamped from the Vintage Label Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  Doesn’t it look so very neat?  This particular image fits beautifully inside the Curly Label Punch!

Vintage Label & Wings of Friendship Stamp Sets

The flower stamped inside the label here is from the Wings for Friendship hostess stamp set, it fits perfectly inside the label and “Best Wishes” is included in the Vintage Labels stamp set.

Sending Love Specialy DSP & Epoxy Brads

It’s not easy to tell in the picture but I used the Bella Toile background stamp inked in Pretty in Pink on the Pretty in Pink cardstock.  I didn’t have it there at first but it did a lot for the card!  All three of the brads you see are from the new Epoxy Brads we have in the Occasions Mini catalog.  There are also some Dazzling Diamonds around the outside of the Whisper White cardstock

I hope this card will be an inspiration to you.  Truthfully, I got the general idea for this card from another demonstrator and then changed it up to work for me.  I hope you will take this idea and change it up to work for you now!  I put these ideas out here to inspire you in your creativity.  Most likely you don’t have the same supplies I have but I bet you can take my idea, change the colors and/or the stamps and come up with your own!  Give it a try!

After my post yesterday with the rose I’ve had multiple people ask for a tutorial on the rose.  My schedule for the next couple of days is rather busy with church and the Birthday Card Class but I’m planning to post a tutorial on Wednesday, March 10.  I hope you will stop by to check it out!  (Of course you’ll want to stop by on Monday and Tuesday to see what I post then too!)

Animal Stories Stamp Set

I’m sorry for the quality of this picture!  Unfortunately, our water heater decided to go out today and drip water everywhere.  I’ve had to take down my picture studio until the water heater can be fixed.  I’ll just have to take a picture for you later in good lighting!

Anyway, this is the card I made for the card swap.  The swap was a birthday card theme but I decided to take it literally and make it a Birth Day card.  I used stamps from three different stamp sets; Animal Stories, Warm Words, and Whimsical Words.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Handstamped Card

I decided to get creative with the Wings of Friendship stamp set which is a level 2 hostess set.  This is a beautiful stamp set and I had fun coming up with this card!

Stampin' Up! Satin Ribbon & Pretties Kit

I’ve been wanting to give this a try with ribbon.  I’ve seen a lot of people lapping the ribbon over and I decided to give it a try adding half pearls from the Pretties Kit.  It’s really easy to do the ribbon like this it just takes some extra ribbon and Sticky Strip.

Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware

Of course Hodgepodge Hardware is always one of my favorites.  I’m so glad the sentiment in this stamp set fits inside the Designer Label!

Adhesive-backed Rhinestone from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit

Remember the “diamonds” I used on the Stampin’ Bonnet yesterday?  Those rhinestones were in a strip from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit.  Today I want to show you that the Eggcellent Eggs Kit also has individual adhesive-backed rhinestones like the one I used in the middle of this flower.  I really hope Stampin’ Up! will start selling these outside of the kit.  I can see a lot of potential for them!

My handstamped card

To make the background of the card I used the vine stamp and stamped it all over in both Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke inks onto Mellow Moss cardstock and then sponged the edges with Always Artichoke.  For the bird stamp I used Stampin’ Write markers in Bravo Burgundy, Pretty in Pink and Always Artichoke to ink up the stamp.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you’re enjoyed seeing my card!
