Leadership) that I wanted to share. Anyone would be “enchanted” by this beautiful card in Calypso Coral and Soft Suede:

The next few samples use the Postage Stamp Punch and the Big Shot (along with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, our new Framelits and/or an embossing folder) in addition to the Everyday Enchantment DSP:

Freshly Made (FMS21) and a Heart Shaped Balloon

8 Comments
Wanted to make a card with the “heart balloon” idea that we made at the Valentine Stamp camp, so I borrowed a layout from the Freshly Made Sketches blog and used Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride and Baja Breze along with the Balloon Basket from the Sweet Centers Stampin’ Up! stamp set and large heart punch to create this sweet birthday card:
The clouds are created with the top of the cupcake punch! Must say I was pleased with the result 🙂

Pretty, Pretty Paper…more fun projects!

I have to thank Kira and Patty for this adorable project from our Late Night Stamper Pre-Convention Stamp Camp…it showcases the “Beyond the Garden” Designer Series Paper, but could be made with ANY of Stampin’ Up!’s fabulous DSP (did I mention that DSP is Buy 3, Get 1 Free through August 31st?)

Apologies if the pictures are dark, since we are still “sans technology” at our house, I couldn’t edit them on my Mac first!

Here is the “purse” for the cards…the handle was punched with the new Lace Ribbon Border punch:

It is filled with 4 simple and beautiful cards:

It’s amazing how a little paper can cheer you right up, and this DSP is all sunshine and butterflies to me!

Here Comes the Sun(flowers)

1 Comment

Finally! The sun has peeked through the clouds of La Nina and it has brightened my soul! I was so inspired by the light (and a card sent to me years ago by a demonstrator friend, Mindi B) that I pulled out the Love & Care stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog and my Stampin’ Pastels for a little “Poppin’ Pastels”:

This technique is really fun and easy: Stamp with Versamark onto white card stock and then use sponge daubers to apply pastels (chalk) to the stamped image and watch the color POP! It’s such a cheerful look, matching my optimistic attitude today. Oh, and the flowers embossed into the Early Espresso card stock is the new Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (also from Summer Mini). Enjoy the sunshine!

Take it and Run With it

Sometimes I find I need a springboard to get my creative Mojo running…and it happened this morning when I checked out the Clean & Simple Sketch 141:

So I took the sketch and ran with it! I immediately thought of a new Hostess Set in the Summer Mini catalog (Love & Care) and combined it with the fabulous new Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (also from the Summer Mini). In an effort to bring a little spring color to our VERY WET and overcast spring here in Utah, I used the brightest colors I could think of: Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise.

Have you ever tried the “Rock & Roll” technique? I stamped the flower in Daffodil Delight classic ink and rolled the stamp edges around in Melon Mambo ink, like this:

While you are here, let me invite you to join my Stampin’ Up! Birthday/Wedding Card Swap! I’d love to see YOUR creativity!

Send a Little Hope

Is there anyone whose life hasn’t been touched by Breast Cancer? As part of the Make a Difference program at Stampin’ Up!, we have partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in the “Strength & Hope” campaign. I created my first card (and have already sent one) with this beautiful set based on a design I recently used for my Stamp-a-Stack Card Class:

I hope you can see this detail: Add a few drops of the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to a hand sanitizer spray (the kind that looks like a fat pen which you can buy at the dollar store or Staples) and spray it over your card for a beautiful shimmer!

Hint: When you run out of hand-sanitizer spray, fill up your “spray pen” with rubbing alcohol and add more shimmer paint! These little spray pens give a perfect mist over a card and the alcohol content dries quickly so your card doesn’t get too wet.

From May 1-August 31, Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each Strength & Hope stamp set and Digital Kit to BCRF. For more information (or to order your own set) click HERE. I’m sure you know a strong woman who would love a card created from this inspiring set!
