This card was made with the Presto Patterns Specialty DSP which is on page 15 of the summer mini catalog. Like the Bride, Groom and Bridesmaid DSP in the Idea Book & Catalog (which is retiring), this cardstock is foiled leaving a design behind in white once you have added ink. Here's a close up. I used a Pretty in Pink Epoxy brad in the middle of the large flower. Those were available in the last mini catalog and not at this time. In the center of the other Pretties flowers I used rhinestone brads. "Happy birthday" is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I used the Word Window Continue reading
Handmade Card for 10 Minute Color Challenge
This weeks challenge is to use the colors you see above to make a card in 10 minutes. As I looked at the colors my thoughts where Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink - no problem! But Soft Suede?? I have hardly used that color and I just don't see using it with Chocolate Chip. It took me a little while to decide how I was going to incorporate that color. Okay, I've got 10 minutes - let's see how I do! I grabbed up my cardstock and ran to the paper cutter. Back at my desk again I grabbed the rose stamp from the Elements of Style stamp set. First I stamped in Whisper White Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Medallion & En Francais
This is a card I made last week. Despite my lack of posts last week, I did get a little bit of creating done. I enjoyed making this card. I used two of my favorite stamp sets, the Medallion and En Francais. Do you see the little tag hanging from the Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon? That is one of our new Mini Vintage Tags on page 15 of the Summer Mini Catalog. I stamped on the tag with a circle from the Circle Circus stamp set and then sprayed it with the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz which can also be found in the mini catalog on the same page. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Elements of Style Scrapbook Page
I used the new Elements of Style stamp set from the new mini catalog to make this scrapbook page. The colors I used where inspired by the couch in the pictures and they look great together with this stamp set! The colors used here are So Saffron, Brocade Blue and Very Vanilla. The So Saffron ribbon is retired but everything else is very much current at the moment although the Brocade Blue will be retiring with the new catalog. We will be making this layout for the Scrap Club tomorrow evening. I hope everyone will like it! I'm sorry about the 10 minute challenge I promised to post on Continue reading
Handmade Father's Day Card with King of the Grill
I wanted to share one of the cards I taught at a card class in Holtwood, PA last night. We used one of the new stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog called king of the Grill. The ladies had several options for the sentiment which all come in the King of the Grill stamp set. I personally decided to make the card into a Father's Day card, I thought it would be nice to a little ahead for a change! The colors used on this card are Whisper White, Sage Shadow, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. On the background piece of white cardstock we used the Medallion stamp along with the Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Elements of Style
I received my new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini goodies today! I was able to get a couple new things and I'm very excited about them! One of them, the Elements of Style stamp set, is what I used on this card. Aren't those flowers beautiful?! I've been looking forward to them since I first saw the mini catalog. I wish you could see the Smooch Spritz I sprayed on here! That's just one of those things you're going to have to experience for yourself as it's terribly hard to photograph but I know you're going to like it! The other items you see are probably fairly familiar. They include the Continue reading
