Love and Care

Today's card uses the Hostess set, Love and Care, that is found in the Summer Mini Catalog. I used Melon Mambo, Concord Crush, and Old Olive inks to stamp the images on Whisper White cardstock. I started with Concord Crush cardstock as the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" base for my card. Then I stamped the images of the flowers and leaves on the 5 1/4" x 4" whisper white cardstock. The central image is colored with Old Olive and Melon Mambo markers, on a 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock, then mounted on Certainly Celery, and then on Old Olive cardstock. Each piece is 1/4" larger than the one before it. The greeting, "Happy Birthday" is from the stamp set, Create a Cupcake, and is stamped in Concord Crush ink. It is finished off with some bling - our row pearls. Love the pearls! They add so much to just about any card! Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping.

Fabulous Florets

Today's card is made with Fabulous Florets stamp set. It was stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with Tango Tangerine on the flowers and Wild Wasabi embosing powder on the leaves and stems. The base cardstock is Daffodil Delight. The 1/8" ribbons are Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil delight. The sentiment, Happy Birthday, came from the set of stamps, Create a Cupcake. The aborder of the white was punched with the scallop border punch. The centers of the flowers have medium size pearls. Thanks for stopping by. Happy stamping.

New In Color butterflies

These little butterflies are cut with our Butterfly Die (the smallest of the 4 butterflies on the die). They are held together with one of our Glitter Brads. I gave these to the members of my Downline so they would have a ready sample of our new In-colors to show customers. The first one is Pool Party, as seen in the bottom picture. Then going clockwise, the other colors are Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, and Island Indigo - awesome new colors! I think they look really cute all spread out in a circle, but they close up and take up next to no space at all to store. Hope you enjoyed the butterflies. Thanks for stopping by,and happy stamping!

Happy Birthday America!

Today's card is a quick and easy one. I just cut strips of Real Red cardstock and glued them to a rectangle of white cardstock. The stars (from Courage and Sacrifice) were stamped in Night of Navy. It doesn't show up in the picture, but the Night of Navy background piece has been run through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. It looks really nice in person! Happy Birthday America. Hope you are enjoying this day with family and friends. Say a special thank you today for the men and women who are serving so that we may enjoy our freedom. Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping.

Owl Punch Meets Just Eat Cake

Thanks for stopping by today. I made this card for a friend of mine who fell and broke her shoulder. She loves anything with an Owl on it. I used the new Just Eat Cake Designer Paper for the background, and the other side of this particular sheet is the polka dots that is the owl's vest! The cardstock colors are Garden Green and Early Espresso. Happy Stamping!

Scrapbooking: Travel Pages

These were the pages that we did in Scrapbooking Class in June. They use the now retired Photo corner punch. I love the little map on these pages. it is from the stamp set, "Travel Log", which is in the current Summer Mini Catalog. This was the set that was given to us at Leadership this year in Nashville. (Another good reason to join Stampin Up! And now is the perfect time to do so, with the $99 joining special!) Another good reason to join Stampin Up is the access we have to Stampin Connection, which has over 100,000 samples of cards, scrapbook pages, and 3-D items. This is where my daughter found the little punch art car, which was posted by Debbie Henderson. (Thank you Debbie for sharing!) I also owe a big thank you to my daughter, who designed these pages for me.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping
