Beautiful Banners

When I get stuck in a lack of creative mojo-I always pull out my Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog!  There are so many ideas, layouts, and color combinations right at your fingertips!  I have kept all of the catalogs after they retire!

I saw the Beautiful Banner set and needed a quick card for club.  I look at page 88 in the current catalog and changed up the colors and some of the elements. To create the splatter look, I took the paper that the Glue Dots come on and inked it with Night of Navy.  Then I spritzed water on it liberally and flicked with my finger onto the card.

Here is the layout from the catalog:

And here is my finished card.  I just love the elegance of this set and I can’t wait to make banners for Valentine’s Day with what I have seen in the Occasions Catalog sneak peek!

So, if you need a quick idea or having  a low mojo kind of day….look around and CASE a card!  Or just use one as a jumping off point!

Happy Stampin’!

Fall Branches

I have realized the past couple of days that I LOVE this new limited edition bundle and Crumb Cake as the base!  But I had this idea in my head and it turned out pretty cute!

I took the stamp from Thoughtful Branches and stamped it in Crushed Curry ink.  Then I took markers and tapped them on the stamp to bounce color randomly!  I used Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke. Chocolate Chip, and Tangerine Tango.  Stamped a little grass and the trunk before cutting out a bird and an apple.

I love the new burlap ribbon!  I also dyed the Whisper White baker’s twine with rubbing alcohol and Always Artichoke reinker.

Hope you like today’s card!!

I love this limited edition set that Stampin’ Up! allowed demonstrators to pre-order!  So pretty, delicate, and elegant!

This card was made for my quarterly team meeting last week!  The linen thread has been frayed with the paper piercer to get in between the individual threads.  I added Wink of Stella Clear (of course!!) to the hydrangea.  Another tip, to add a little more dimension, I punched out an oval to place behind the flower plume.  I raised the flower with tiny pieces of dimensionals as well.

You will be able to order the bundle between August 2 and 31 (while supplies last). That’s just in time for them to use your Bonus Days coupons!

Click here to view the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Branches Thinlits!

Included is the wonderful photopolymer stamp that can be used as hydrangea flowers or tree leaves to add to a trunk. It also includes the stem and other great accompaniments! The sentiments are very versatile too!  It’s a must have!

I had a Stamp a Stack of cards last week and this was one of the cards I made.  I love the softness of the colors together.  We used 2 way glue for adhering the sequins to the card.  I will say that I love the Smoky Slate stitched ribbon!  Just ordered another spool!

Floral Phrases and Sugarplum

I saw a card on Brian King’s blog and was inspired to make this card!  I took the floral stamp and used Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry markers to color the flower part and Mint Macaron for the leaves.  This set just is beautiful! And the Mint Macaron Ribbon is lovely to work with too!

Be sure to have the Precision Plate and Big Shot Die Brush to make the flower cut outs!

Thank you for stopping in!

Stampin Hugs,

I think just about everyone just fell instantly in love with this Foxy Friends stamp set and coordinating punch!  The matching DSP stack is super cute too!  I have made several critters and this was the first card I made with one.

This is a great bundle to make scrapbook pages too!

You can punch them out and build them or stamp them out.  Even combine the two! I can’t wait to make Christmas Tags with this too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fresh Strawberries!

lkvenvert1 Comment

IMG_0952

I was looking around Pinterest and my list of blogs I love to check out-and this shadow box was so cute! Super easy too!  Dawn Olchefske was kind enough to share her instructions on her blog.

I used the Fresh Fruit set with Whisper White for the front piece and Daffodil Delight for the back piece.

  1. You will cut 2 pieces of cardstock to 4 1/4″x 5 1/2″.
  2. Score each piece at 1/2″ x 1″ on each end
  3. I stamped the Strawberry and other accents randomly on the Whisper White piece.
  4. Place Layering Circle Framelits (largest 2 7/8″)
  5. Place the stamped top piece on top of the back piece and mark points with a pencil to help with stamp alignment.
  6. Stamp sentiment inside
  7. Fold on all score lines (fan fold)
  8. Place Tear & Tape long far sides only of the base and adhere to the top piece.
  9. Push sides inward to create shadow box effect.
