Blended Seasons

I've been dying to show you this beautiful bundle called Blended Seasons!  It's only available for a limited time starting August 1-31, and while supplies last.  I pre-ordered it and it's a beauty!!  There is a double outline of stitching so that you can use the negative and the cut out.  I will have samples coming soon.  In the meantime, feast your eyes on these gorgeous cards! 

Feminine Roots

Hi Stampers!  Hope your summer is going well.   I was dying to make a card with my new Rooted in Nature bundle, and I had to make a card for a female friend who likes green.  I decided to see if I could get it to work.  Here is the result.  I started by stamping leaves in soft colors (Soft Sea Foam, Gorgeous Grapefruit) and then I used a Sponge Dauber to add the darker colors on the edges.  I cut a bunch out and started placing them behind that wood piece, on top of a panel of Wood Textures dsp*.  The wood stump was stamped in Crumb Cake and edged with Early Espresso for the bark.  I decided it needed more color so I cut two Celebrate pieces in Gorgeous Grapefruit.  They were glued on top of one another for more dimension.  I kept searching for something to add to the layers, and finally found these flowers which were a freebie from a Paper Pumpkin a few months ago.  I never realized they were white on the back!  A tiny pearl from the Share What You Love suite was added to the top of each flower.  I think it makes it a bit tropical, don't you?  Anyway, let me know what you think.  Did I manage to make Rooted feminine? Let me know if you have questions.  Thanks for stopping by!

p.s.  You can click on either of the graphics to purchase from my online store if you're interested!  *DSP (designer series paper) is on sale until July 31st!!  Buy three, get one free.  Check out the deal below.

Put your sunglasses on!

I made this card with the specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  I really love the intricate papers, especially the circles.  On the first, I started with a  Thick Whisper White card base and used Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape.  Yes, I was very daring with this color combination!  I also added a few Granny Smith Green and Coastal Cabana dots behind the circles.  I simply punched a few different sized circles with punches and the smallest circle dies I had. The sentiment is from the hostess set called Hand Delivered.

On the second card, I started again with Whisper White Thick card stock and used a layer of  In Color dsp and added the Delightfully Detailed circles and did the same with Pool Party, Granny Smith and Real Red circles.  This sentiment is from Detailed With Love.  I then added a few sequins.  Which do you prefer? 

Holiday Catalog

Oooh, I can hardly wait for the Holiday Catalog to arrive!  I will have access to it in a couple of weeks.  I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for us.  In the meantime,  I will be ordering some Christmas dsp so I can be ready to start my cards for this year.

Did you know you can still buy a select 3, get 1 dsp free?  Yes, the sale will end on July 31 so get your list together!  I know I'll be doing another order.  The papers are so pretty!  This time, I will get Under The Mistletoe along with others I didn't get the first time.

In case you missed my previous post, they can all be seen close up in this video.  Please be sure to leave a comment and let me know your favorite!  I might just send out a couple of samples to you!

Share What You Love

I LOVE this dsp!!  It's card stock weight and some of the papers are shimmery.  It's gorgeous!  I made this card and several others with it.  I wish I had taken inside pics of this card.  You can see the other side of the dsp inside. I made the base from Rich Razzleberry (8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4).  I cut off a panel at 1 1/2 inches.  I then cut a piece of Share What You Love specialty designer series paper (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I adhered it inside the card stock, wrapped it with this pretty velvet ribbon and added a Linen Thread bow.  The sentiment is from the Stitched All Around stamp set and cut out with Stitched Labels Framelits.  This was made for one of my team members for her birthday.  I can't even count the July birthday cards I sent out!  I think half the people I know were born in July.  I would love for you to leave me a comment.  It'll make my day!  And feel free to ask questions. Thanks for stopping by.

A few of my favorites:

Nature's Poem

Twinkle Twinkle

Animal Expedition

Tranquil Textures

Tropical Escape

Impressions

I love the Springtime Impressions thinlits dies!  Did I mention how excited I am that Coastal Cabana is back?!!  I truly love this color.  I could live the rest of my life with only Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay for colors!  I paired the Coastal with Petal Pink.  This is a color I didn't think I would like, but I haven't stopped using it!  It's a pretty peachy pink that's very easy to blend in with other colors.  The sentiment is from Abstract Impressions.  Such a pretty and versatile stamp set!

I cut the die in Whisper White and then used Sponge Daubers and colored in with Soft Seafoam, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Poppy Parade.  I finished it off with Faceted Dots.  Just click on the graphics to shop.  Please leave me a comment to let me know your favorite new or returning color.

From the Heart...

I feel like I've been making a lot of "from the heart, thinking of you, with sympathy" cards lately.  I'm thankful I have new products to make it easier!  Here is one using the beautiful new blue called Balmy Blue, and the specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  There are pieces you can use as strips and some as a mat, or you can simply cut to size and use the flowers and leaves as layers.  I scattered a few of the tiny colored pearls from the Share What You Love suite.  The sentiment is from Petal Palette on a Stitched oval.  Let me know what you think!  And click below to view the catalog.  Feel free to contact me for a free copy if you are not working with another demonstrator.

Purple, purple

I think Stampin' Up! has made a purple lover out of me.  I've never been a big fan of it, but the two new purples are so pretty and easy to work with!  The first is Highland Heather and the second Gorgeous Grape.  I decided to put Gorgeous Grape to work with the Abstract Impressions stamp set and some watercolor paper.  I used Granny Apple Green for the leaves.  I love this color, but I've always loved greens.  Aren't these new colors beautiful!  I've been using a lot of Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam too.

I stamped on watercolor paper and spritzed it enough for it to bleed a bit.  The sentiment piece was made from Stitched Labels framelits and I added a tiny piece of Highland Heather to make it stand out a little.  Let me know what you think!

Note cards

I made this note card for a make and take at my Stampin' Up! Open House.  I then decided to create another.  I used the In Color designer series paper.  It's so easy to use!  I also used Stitched All Around framelits and the sentiment from a hostess set called Hand Delivered.  This pretty green is Call Me Clover.  Oh, I forgot...the pretty floral piece behind the sentiment is the Artistic Impressions thinlits.

On the second card, I used the gorgeous specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  The sentiment is made from the Make a Difference stamp set.  It's a great alphabet set to have!  The dsp color is Blueberry Bushel and I paired it with Gray Granite. You can click on the products above to shop in my store, or on the flower on the side bar.  Let me know if I can answer any questions and please leave me a comment!  I love reading them.  Thanks for stopping by.

And don't forget, if you are not working with another demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.  I'd be happy to send one to you!

New Stampin' Up! Butterfly!

I used the new Stampin' Up! thinlits called Springtime Impressions on this nice and easy card.  The sentiment is from Detailed with Love.  And I love this new Lovely Lipstick color paired with black!  The butterfly has an added layer of vellum.  Let me know what you think!
