Preview and Get Well Butterfly

2013-06-19T06:25:00.000-07:00

When a friend isn't feeling well, I love to send a card to let them know I'm hoping they will be back to their game as soon as possible. I also like to have at least one on hand at any given time. Having sent one this week prompted me to get another into my supply. This Daffodil Delight card looks pretty cheery to me and I'm hoping it will make someone smile when they aren't feeling so

Bring on the Cake

2013-06-12T02:30:00.000-07:00

Here is another card we made at a workshop recently. I'm not sure what the fold is called, but it's very easy to make. Card base is 5-1/2" x 7-1/4" scored at 4-1/4". The flap on the right is a piece of 3 x 3-1/2" card stock that is scored at 1/2" on the 3-1/2" inch side. Tape the 1/2" part of the flap to the back of the card (use matching card stock for best results). Tape the white

Happy Father's Day Mix

2013-06-10T08:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Monday. I was late getting my Father's Day card ideas, but they are now in the mail! I used a combination of New and Retired Stampin' Up products to complete my card. I think the centerpiece of the card is this bow tie, created from the new Smoky Slate Chevron ribbon. It's luscious! I folded the ends of a 5" strip to the center and used glue dots to hold the ends down. Then

Happy Day--I Got to Play!

2013-06-08T16:20:00.000-07:00

I. am. smitten! This 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim is so soft and silky and easy to work with. See all of those "waves" of trim above? Each color is only a portion of the entire spool!! The colors I have are Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush. I WILL be ordering the other two colors: Baked Brown Sugar and Pistachio Pudding! I LOVE this trim. For my first project with the

PPA160 Primrose Gumball Whisper

2013-06-06T02:30:00.000-07:00

It's Pals Paper Arts Challenge time! The only problem I had this week was the arrival of my brand new items from the new catalog and having to complete this card JUST before they got here! I had no new DSP that would work and no new stamps sets that would work :-( I had to think long and hard about how to make the challenge. But isn't that what challenges are for??? It should be a

By the Seashore Triple Time Stamping

2013-06-05T10:36:00.000-07:00

Hello again! I am adding another post so you can see something new from me. I had a workshop last night and this is one of the cards we had so much fun making. The technique is called Triple Time Stamping. You lay your cut card stock in layers, stamp all over and then add the matts and magically all of your images line up! The idea for this design came from Lorrie K in the splitcoast

Purple Hues Birthday

2013-05-29T02:30:00.000-07:00

Someone loves light purple, so I put together this for her birthday! My card base is Wisteria Wonder. Next, I made a "shelf" using a strip of Whisper White run through the Big Shot using the Adorning Accents Edgelits and Embossing folders. The result is a gorgeous and girly edge. I wrapped the shelf in 3/8" Perfect Plum taffeta ribbon and tied a bow in the center. For the

2013-05-26T02:30:00.000-07:00

Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper is SO cheery! This *new* sentiment from the Chalk Talk Stamp Set (debuts May 31) is also a happy thing! Put the two together and here is what you get! I'm trying to use my old designer papers and other items before they are officially retired, but I have so much paper I don't think it's possible to ever use it all! Keep your eyes peeled for blog

2013-05-25T02:30:00.000-07:00

Hi! I hope your weekend is going well. I wanted to show you some more sneak peeks from the new catalog! I used a pattern from the *new* Quatrefancy Designer Specialty Paper. It's in one of the *new* In Colors: Strawberry Slush. I love the name just as much as the color! Also *new* is this lovely Very Vintage Designer Button. I love mixing vintage and modern, so I put the Stawberry

Clean and Simple Mosaic Madness

2013-05-21T13:38:00.001-07:00

Think of the single colors or color combos you could come up with. Change your sentiment and you have a new design. Quick and easy! I used the *

Mr. & Mrs. Quatrefancy

2013-05-18T05:29:00.001-07:00

Happy Weekend! This is a clean and simple wedding card for a sweet couple. I applaud the return of Bermuda Bay! I have missed this turquoise color. I believe that this pattern from Quatrefancy Specialty designer series paper and Pool Party card stock make a great "couple" for creating a card. I colored my Basic Rhinestones using a Sharpie. The sentiment is from Label Love--a sneak preview

Tags from Chalk Talk

2013-05-14T08:04:00.001-07:00

Finally, I am able to upload some photos I took of a preview from the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog, which goes live at the end of the month. This tag uses two images from the set Chalk Talk, which I layered one over the other. There is a set of framelits which will easily and expertly cut the outer tag, but here I just used my Paper Snips. The ink colors used are Melon Mambo and Gumball
