Peace Within Rustic Card

Wow, has it been a week since I've posted?  Well, good news, I am working on some more beautiful things to share with you very soon!  For example, I loved this set with the cat on the chair and had to have it as soon as I saw it! The new Stampin' Up! set featured is 'Peace Within' (#114312, set of 4 for $22.95). The background is the new background stamp 'Woodgrain' (#117100, $17.95) stamped ... View Post

Nature’s Nest Rustic Card

This card was a lot of fun to make, not to mention easy! I used the new 'Nature's Nest' stamp set (click on the thumbnail for a larger image) and you can be sure I will be sharing more. The colors are the new Soft Suede for both the card, a torn layer and the feather stamped image. The cardfront is Mellow Moss and there are torn layers of More Mustard and Chocolate Chip. I 'texturized' ... View Post

Nature’s Silhouettes Father’s Day Card

Okay, who still hasn't made their Father's Day card yet?  Well, this goes out to all you slackers... this is a quick one! The tree and deer silhouettes are separate stamps and were stamped in black and the sky was sponged (using a sponge dauber) with a *tiny* bit of the following colors (from the top down):  Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Blush Blossom & Mellow Moss.  How easy is ...

Upsy Daisy

I'm having a senior moment as to whether I have posted this sample already. So, forgive me if this is a duplicate. I have some wonderful new samples coming that I am working on for my May Stamp-A-Stack of stuff tomorrow.  It will feature some terrific masculine cards for that special guy in your life--or even your husband! The Upsy Daisy stamp was inked in Versamark and embossed with ... View Post

Rose Accordion Fold Bookmark Card

Clearly I have a thing for this set 'A Rose is a Rose' (#111560, set of 14 stamps - $37.95). UPDATED:  Since it was not a class, I don't have a detailed handout, however in response to many requests, this was made with a 12 x 12 piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock, scored at 3 inch intervals.  I free cut the tops of each panel to appear to be bookmark.  I used a 12" strip of the ...

Hope Illuminated

I'm having a little fun with the Illuminations set and the 'To The Nines' Specialty Designer Series paper (#114038, $11.95).  These papers are a heavier weight and are textured as well.  I'll share my 'Thank You' one next... The "H" in Hope and some of the flourishes were highlighted with Crystal Effects for a glassy 3D look. The colors are Sahara Sand, Sage Shadow and Close to Cocoa.  ... View Post

Playful Petals – take 2

One more card made with the Playful Petals card and Tea Party designer series paper.  I also used the Sizzix 'Top Note' die (exclusive to Stampin' Up!) which is quickly becoming my favorite. The greeting set is a Sale-A-Bration set "Congrats"... a terrific stamp set with many verses of congratulations. I believe that the Chunky Essentials Glitter helped this out since ... View Post

Gold on Gold Embossing – Christmas Card

I absolutely *love* the uniqueness of Stampin' Up!'s 'brushed gold' paper... I've never seen it anywhere else.  The look of gold embossing on our brushed gold is quite striking (see second photo). You need to see a photo of it on an angle to appreciate its beauty! The set is the new "Christ is Born" which is bold enough to be embossed (finer print actually *doesn't* emboss ... View Post

You can see the pop up details below: paper saving trick: I learned this trick working in a stamp store years ago. The stamp companies sell you samples for display, ... View Post

Eat, Drink and Be Scary Halloween Treat Bag

Isn't the candy in this bag awesome?!  I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)!  The Top Note Sizzix die has a 'stitched' border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer  a 'matted' look. Materials List ... View Post

Harvest Home Thanksgiving Card

Love that "Top Note" die cut for my new Sizzix machine!!! The 'stitching' look is on the die cut... it comes out that way. The pumpkin image was stamped in StazOn black and colored in with Earth Elements watercolor crayons and an Aquapainter. The fabulous Designer Series plaid paper in the background is from the 'Manchester' collection (awesome plaids!). Okay, so are ... View Post
