I love the new washi tape!

Washi Tape Card

 

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, but I will be back to posting more cards and ideas again.  The new Stampin' Up catalog is out, and it has many fabulous new items, such as washi tape and the hexagon punch I've used in the above card.

 

I used Whisper White cardstock (#100730) for the card base and background.  I used Crumb Cake cardstock (#120953) for the hexagons that have the greeting stamped on them and the Epic Day This and That DSP (#130814) was punched out and placed with dimensionals under the crumb cake hexagons. To stamp 'thinking of you,' I used both Calypso Coral and Early Espresso ink before punching it out. 

Hexagon Punch (#130919)

This and That Epic Day DSP (#130814)

 

Sweet Essentials Stamp Set (W#132085, C#126457)

 

To create the sponged look behind the greeting, I used the Calyspo Coral ink when sponging with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder (#129378) on Whisper White cardstock.  On the left side of the card, I tore various sizes of the Epic Day This and That Washi Tape (#131269) and placed the different colors of it on top of each other. 

This Epic Day This and That DSP and Washi Tape coordinate with the Epic Day This and That Journal (#131268), which is a great journal or book to add your pictures, notes, or other ideas to help create memories.  I'm having a great time add our vacation pictures into mine, so get one for yourself today, and have fun creating in it!

 

 



Ready for Spring

 

After all the snow we had lately, I was ready to create and bring some spring to my stamping, so I created this card using some of the things from the Stampin' Up Spring Mini catalog.  It makes a beautiful card for mom.

 

I started with So Saffrom paper as the card base.  To add texture and worn look to the edges of the papers, I ran the paper snips scissors (#103579) across each of the edges of the papers (First Edition Specialty DSP 121878, Lucky Limeade).

 

I cut the Tea for Two DSP (129311) into strips size 3 1/4"x1 1/2" and used adhesive to adhere them to the Very Vanilla before adding the textured impressions using the Vine Street folder from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Spend $50 and you can receive this impressions folder free through Sale-a-Bration!

 

I then stamped the small flowers (Language of Friendship W122750, C122752) into a cluster using So Saffron and Lucky Limeade on Very Vanilla, punched them out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and used the Vine Street impresions folder on these, as well as on the Lucky Limeade and So Saffron circles behind the flowers.

 

Finall, I stamped Mom (Family Reunion W122710, C122712) and punched it out and added pearls around the word and in the middle of the flowers.

Have a good week and happy stamping!

 

 

 



Amazing Cheering

 

I love scrapbooking with Stampin' Up materials!  Here is my newest page!

My oldest daughter, Kyla, loves to cheer each school year at the mini cheer performance.  This is the page I created from the last two years of her mini cheer experiences. 

 

I started with one of the 12x12 divided page protectors in the current catalog.  There are 10 protectors in a pack (#127690).

I also created the background papers using the In-Colors.

 

Paper:  First Edition Specialty DSP, 2012-2014 In-Colors, Very Vanilla, Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink:  Primrose petals, Midnight Muse, Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen (105021)

Stamps:  You're Amazing (W126720, C126722)

Punches:  Ticket Duo Builder (126833), 1/16" Circle Handheld (101227)

Accessories:  Stamping Sponges, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Paper Daisies, 1/8" Mini Brads, In Color Dahlias, Linen Thread, Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon

 

To create the flower on the page, I used the mini brad to hold the paper daisies together, placed a dahlia on top of the brad, and used the sponge and midnight muse ink around the edges. 

 

Enjoy and have fun creating a scrapbook page of your own with these materials!  Any of them can be ordered on my Stampin' Up website!

Happy Birthday To You

This birthday card uses supplies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Remember, for every $50 you spend you get a free Sale-a-bration item!  Check them out and order them today on my Stampin' Up website.

The base of the card is Island Indigo paper (122923) and has been cut and scored.

1.  I had fun trying out this Color Spritzer (#107066) on this card spritzing it with markers on the background Pool Party paper (122924) after I used an Adorning Accents Edgelits (125601) to shape the bottom.

2.  Labels Framelits (125598) were used on Sycamore Street DSP, island indigo paper, and white paper.  The white label was then spritzed and stamped with the Up, Up, and Away stamp set (W122755, C122757).

3.  I embellished the top with ribbons and a button from the Sycamore Street pack in the Sale-a-bration.

See what fun you can have with the new Sale-a-bration items!

Sweet Baby Card

Welcome!
I have an adorable baby card to show you today that I'll be giving at a baby shower this week.

1.  For the card base, I used Calyspso Coral paper (#126983) and rounded the corners using the Corner Punch (119871).

2.  Using the Big Shot (113439), emboss the Tea for Two DSP (129311) using this Perfect Polka Dots Folder (117335) to put on the front of the card.

               

3.  I then used the same DSP as above, except the back side of the paper to coordinate with it, and cut it out using the Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003).
                                                       
4. On top of this Apothecary Framelit, another framelit cutout was added.  I stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Very Vanilla paper with the words Sweet Baby from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp (W126255, C126257) and punched it out with the correlating Bitty Banners Framelits (129267).
5.  Embellisments:  Pearls (119247)
                             Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon (122976)
                             Designer Builder Brads (129329)-use the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch
                                 Pack (118309) to put the DSP in the brad

Love You Card

Here's my first post, and I'm so excited to show you what I've created for a Valentine's Day card!  I have tried out some of the new items in the Stampin' Up spring mini catalog.  There are so many great items in this new mini to check out through my Stampin' Up site!

 

I sponged the edges of the vanilla cardstock (8 1/2"x5 1/2"-scored at 4 1/4") and sponged, after embossing, the crumb cake (4"x5 1/4") with Primrose Petals ink.  I then sponged with Raspberry Ripple ink on the doily and used the heart framelits to create the 4 small hearts from the dsp.  Love You was stamped with Raspberry Ripple, punched with the extra large oval punch, and pierced around the edge.  I then added a flower embellishment from the artisan kit to the raspberry ripple and crocheted ribbon.  To create the bow, folded the crocheted ribbon in half and tied the raspberry ribbon around it and attached the flower through it.  Have fun creating it!

Vanilla Cardstock

Crumb Cake Cardstock

Artisan Embellishments Kit

More Amore DSP

Seasonal Sayings Stamp Set

Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
