Apothecary Art Birthday Card

Hi Stampers! Today's card was SO easy to put together using Stampin Up products.

I used the stamp set, Apothecary Art (125527), that can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog (link on the left of this page).  After stamping the image on Whisper White card stock, I colored the flowers using my Stampin Write Markers.  I used the Framelits Labels Collection (125598) dies to cut out the shape around the stamped image, as well as the layer of Crumb Cake card stock behind the stamped image.

As long as I was cutting Framelits, I thought I would cut an even larger one to stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card :)  I also used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder and Rose Red Seam Binding,

Loving Thoughts Wedding Card

Hi Stampers!  Today's card is one of many we made at a recent Card Buffet class I held.  I used Very Vanilla card stock and Basic Black.

 

The stamped floral image is Elements of Style, still a great set!  The sentiment is from the new word stamp set, Loving Thoughts, that can be found in the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder for the first layer on the card, and the Labels Collection Framelit Dies for the layers.

The butterfly added just the right touch to this card :)  It is the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.  I added some Basic Rhinestones to the center of the butterfly to finish it off. 

Here's how I decorated the inside of the card.  If you are interested in ordering any of the supplies used for this card, be sure to visit my online store any time.  Or, if you need assistance email me anytime, I'm happy to assist you with your order and/or any questions.

Language of Friendship - Mary Fish Inspired

Hi Stampers!  I totally CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) a project made by Mary Fish, and turned it into a card :)  I love Mary's clean-and-simple style of stamping, thanks for the inspiration Mary!

Isn't this color combination great?  The stamp set is called Language of Friendship, and is actually one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration sets with a $50.00 order.  The coordinating punches for this set; the Bird Builder punch and the Boho Blossom punch.

 

I used the Scallop Square Duo die and my Big Shot to make the first scallop layer, and then layered Pool Party card stock and Very Vanilla card stock on top of that.  The main card is Island Indigo layered with a piece of Early Espresso ran through the Big Shot using the Houndstooth Embossing Folder.

A Cup of Thanks!

Hi Stampers!  This card was made using the adorable stamp set, Tea Shoppe (w 125545 c 125547).  This set can be found in Stampin Up's Occasions Mini Catalog through April 2012.

The base of the card is Pool Party, with a layer of Poppy Parade card stock.  I ran the Poppy card stock through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to get the embossed dots :)  I thought the embossed polka dots would compliment the paper pierced "steam" coming from the cup.

The cup colors are Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.  I scalloped the edge of the Very Vanilla card stock using the Scallop Trim Border punch.  The Designer Series Paper is called Everyday Enchantment and is FREE with a 50.00 order during Sale-a-Bration.  I just attached a little piece of ribbon with a staple, easy!

I always have to add a little something to the inside, just for fun :)

If you have questions on placing an order or questions about Sale-a-Bration, email me anytime, I'm always glad to help :)

Bordering on Romance

Hi Stampers!  This was a card we made at a recent Card Buffet Class I held.  The stamp set is called Bordering on Romance and can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog (link on the left of this page).

 

I stamped the image in Basic Gray, and colored in using Calypso Coral, Peach Parfait and Pool Party markers.  I added Basic Rhinestones to the center of the flowers for some added bling :)  The card stock for the main card is Pool Party, and the scallop circle around the stamped image is Calypso Coral.  I got the designer series paper, Everyday Enchantment FREE during Sale-a-Bration!  The sentiment at the bottom of the card is from the stamp set, Tea Shoppe.  

To finish off the inside, I simply stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink.  If you have questions on placing an order or questions about Sale-a-Bration, email me anytime, I'm always glad to help :)

Mixed Bunch Butterfly

Hi Stampers!  I love the new set, Mixed Bunch (w 125535 c 125537) and the coordinating Blossom Punch (125603) found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  As always, talented stampers out there have come up with ways for us to use these products other than what they are intended for.  I first saw the idea of making a butterfly out of the flower stamp and punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog, how clever is that?!?

The card stocks I used are Island Indigo, Baja Breeze and Twitterpated DSP.  The Bakers Twine is Island Indigo (125575) and  is only $2.95 for 25 yards, what a bargain!  The sentiment is from the stamp set Kindness Matters, and is available for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration set with any 50.00 order.

I embossed the butterfly with white embossing powder, and layered it on another butterfly I made out of Island Indigo card stock before popping up with dimensionals.

Mixed Bunch + Blog Candy Winner!

Hi Stampers!  Today's card I made for a swap I participated in last month.  Don't you love the color combination?  I LOVE how Stampin Up does all the guess-work for us with great color combinations in their Designer Series Papers.

The stamp set is Mixed Bunch, and is in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  My favorite part, there is a coordinating punch so we don't have to cut out the flowers - yay! :)

For the leaves I used the Blossom Petal Builder Punch, easy peasy!  This beautiful pleated ribbon can also be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog,

For those who know me, know I LOVE punches, so here's yet another one..lol!  This sentiment is from the stamp set Tea Shoppe, also in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Finish it off with a couple of Basic Rhinestones, and that's it!
