Gold enhanced!

I used the new Stampin Up Snowflake Embossing folder on the base done with Glossy Photo Paper. The gold snowflake is accented with some gold thread and sequins.
The card base is Soft Sky.

Have a great day and enjoy the warm weather while it's here!

Until next time!

Wooden Scare Crow

Too cute! Saw this on Pinterest and had to CASE. I used Soft Suede stamped with the Hardwood Stamp Background and Crumb Cake for the bottom of the card. The card is seven inches tall so I will be making an envelope for it.

It was easier to make than I thought. Used 1/2" Basic Black and 1/4" Whisper White for the eyes. I then glued white, orange & yellow together and hand cut the candy corn for his little nose; the mouth is free-hand using the Stampin Up Journal Writer.  Enjoy!

Until next time!

Starbucks here I come

This is a cute gift card holder especially for Starbucks and all my coffee lover friends! The card slips down behind the greeting. I used brown twine to make the embellishment and a Silver spoon adds a great accent.

I am an avid coffee drinker and so the paper is so fitting. Then once you open the card there is plenty of room for a sentiment. Can be for any occasion gift - coffee always works!

Until next time!

Halloween is on the way...

Until next time have a blessed day!

Swan Lake

The stamp set is Swan Lake (142977). I colored the flower borders using Stampin Up Markers and mounted the Label Framelit cut on Pacific Point. There is a discontinued overlay so you can punch the little stitching holes.

I did emboss the card front with the Butterfly Embossing Folder. Enjoy! Super all occasion card.

I hope to get some stamping done today. I did this scrapbook page yesterday sorta the last summer swim for Jacob at his school friend's house. He's a water-bug!

Christmas Around the World Quilt

Yep another quilt card. I really love the Framelits! The more I work with it the better I like it. This one was done using the Christmas Around the World Designer Paper and little wooden embellishment.

Soft Suede is my card base and mat. After adhering the quilt piece I ran it thru the Big Shot using the Quilting Embossing Folder which gives the card an impressive dimension. The sentiment is from the new Host Set Merry Patterns which you can get FREE for hosting a $300. party before October 1!

Funny thing too. Remember don't waste your precious designer paper. The designer paper mat has a quilt cut out of it BUT the Soft Suede mat covers it. (recycle)

Christmas Quilt

Another creation using the Christmas Quilt stamp set, paper and framelits. Love the color combination.

Keeping Miss Scarlett today. She's two and into everything so it turns out to be a fun day. Enjoy your day and hug your loved ones.

Until next time!

Flourish sentiment

White on white is always classy. This is Shimmering White on Shimmering White which adds even more elegance. I have to confess I put the circle too high but you can still read the words. I added pearls for accent.

A beautiful sympathy card, get well card or just letting someone know you care about what they might be going thru.

Telescoping Card

Notice the 3 raised accent squares in the middle of the card - guess that's why it is called telescoping. I used the 3 smallest squares and put the first cut on one strip of dimensional; second cut on two strips; and the smallest on 3 strips.

I do love the marbled back ground stamp. You can use it on lots of different cards! Its a fun easy card to make.

Simple Weaving

Saw this on a blog hop the other day and thought - hummmm- great way to use scraps. Can be a Birthday Card (male/female); Sympathy, Thinking of you, Anniversary - many other occasions.
It is simple weaving paper - 1/4"; 1/2" & 3/4" strips. The card base is Very Vanilla.

Vintage Leaves

Autumn is coming quickly with beautiful leaves and cooler weather. This card was created using the Vintage Leaves and matching Framelits. The sentiment is from Label Me Pretty punched with the matching Label Punch.

I used the Plank Embossing Folder on diagonal to add interest. The colors are Fresh Fig, Very Vanilla & Tranquil Tide. They are part of the new InColors and are gorgeous for Fall.

This card could be Thank you, Masculine Birthday, Retirement, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Birthday, Just for You, etc... Oh BTW the inside has the smaller leave glued in place but still room for lots of writing!

'til next time have a blessed day & see you in church!

Simple Christmas Card

Made with Hearts come Home stamp set and matching framelits! Love the little houses. The second row should be up higher but too late now. The inside has a different row of houses!

Envelope stamping adds so much to your handmade card.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It will be here sooner than you think!

Just a Scrappin'

Made this page for a friend of mine. It was inspired by a Pinterest post. I used Rich Razzleberry for the background with Pool Party and Tangerine Tango accents. The buttons and ribbon are from an older Stampin' Up kit. (12 x 12 page)

Hope she likes it. Comments are appreciated. Have a great day! I didn't do any cards today. Been prepping for Saturday's Stamp A Stack.

Until next time!

'tis the Season

The set featured on this card is called Merry Patterns. It is a hostess set FREE with a $300. order; besides your regular rewards.

I stamped the Sheet Music Background first then the greeting and deer with Basic Black. The holly sprig is from Good Tidings (two-step stamp set).

Hope every one is OK thru Irma. It was such a devastating storm. In the heart of Virginia we have not gotten anything from Irma yet; BUT tomorrow probably rain and wind. I had a great visit with my two daughters this weekend in NC.

Wood Words

This stamp set, Wood Words, co-ordinates with the Wood Crate Framelit in the big catalog. Card was inspired by one on Mary Fish's Blog.

I used the Kraft envelope and Crumb Cake as the main card base. (It looks darker on the scan). The shapes are included in the Wood Crate Framelit set. The squares are from the Stitched Squares Framelit.

Until next time!

Fidget Birthday

I saw a youtube video to make this Fidget card and I know the perfect little boy to give it to (soon for his birthday). It actually spins. I think he will love it.

I used Emerald Envy and Lemon Lime cardstock! Too Cute.

Sorry for Everything...

Great stamp set for 'Sorry' and you have nine (9) options to choose from! I used the Electic Designer Paper for the background on Soft Sky and Emerald Envy cardstock.

Oops... I thought the stars were green enamel until I scanned this card. (old age). Guess I will have to replace those. Back to the drawing board.
