Vellum, Roses and Silver Oh My!

Hey Guys!

Here is another beautiful yet simple card!

This card is inspired by one I saw on Pinterest by Kristine McNickle.  I LOVE Basic Gray and Grapefruit Grove  together!  It is a great pairing, don’t you think?  See that cut out at the bottom? When the card is closed you can see the Grapefruit Grove peeking through.  It is a pretty design element.  The square floral paper is Designer Series Paper!  Such a pretty and easy way to bring elegance to a card.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed with White Embossing powder.

The Beautiful Promenade stamp set, has a thinlit that goes with it called Beautiful Layers.  This is where I got the feature at the base of the card.  You can get 10% off the Bundle when you purchase both the stamp set and the thinlits.  My next post will have another thinlit from this set, so check back in!!

Simple any occasion no stamp card

Hey Guys!

Today I thought I would share with you a card that is elegant and no stamping was used.  What?!  I know, what in the world am I doing NOT having stamps?  It just happened that way and I didn’t really notice until I was done.

I used the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper.  I really didn’t have any ideas on how to use it, but fell in love with it!  Here is my card:

The Leaf pattern going down the side is normally white, but I sponged it Granny Apple Green so it would pop on the card and show up on the White frame.

Here are the specifics for this card:

Paper
Blackberry Bliss 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
3 7/8″ x 2 7/8″
Whisper White 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, 3 7/8″ x 2 7/8″, 5 1/4″ x 4
Granny Apple Green 4 3/8″ x 3 3/8″
Copper Foil 3″ x 4″
Inks
Versamark
Granny Apple Green
Accessories
Delightfully Detailed cut outs
Leaves Trinkets
Wink of Stella
Layered Leaves Folder
sponge Brayer/Dimensionals/Glue dots

You can’t see it on the card, but I went over the Laser cut outs with Wink of Stella, it adds to the elegance of the card.

Want some Peace?!

Hey Guys!

Do you want some peace?  This card makes me peaceful just by looking at it!  I hope you agree!

I used the Winter Woods stamp set from the Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up!  Guess what!?  It is one of the stamps that is NOT retiring!  I am so happy!  This stamp set is sooooo pretty and I just love it, bet you couldn’t tell, right?

I used the Woodland Folder to get the background.  This is about as ‘simple’ as  I can get…….you would think that making cards with more details would be harder, but NO, I have problems making cards that have less stamps, less layers, less embellishments……ok I have problems with LESS!  LOL  I try really hard to make quick and simple one layer cards and I just can’t do it!  Who’s with me!?

Chicken Wire – Retiring soon, don’t wait!

Hey Guys!

Today’s card was a really fun one to make.  The sad news is that the Chicken Wire (which I LOVE) is retiring!  Say it ain’t so!

I decided to play with it before it was gone…..    Here is the card I made for you today!:

I know that this picture looks like I used Tempting Turquoise, but the colors are all wrong, this was made using Bermuda Bay.  Bermuda Bay is one of my very favorite colors!  Not sure why my camera decided not to show the true color.

I used the Stamp set from SU! called Sitting Pretty.  This stamp set is so much fun to stamp with, all the stamps work together so you don’t ‘color’ anything, you stamp it.  Using the Stamparatus makes it even better!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp Sets Pg #
Sitting Pretty
Paper
Bermuda Bay 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Soft Sea Foam 4 1/4″ x 3 3/8″
Black 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″

The Galvanized Buttons are no longer available sad to say.  So make sure if you want/need the chicken wire, get your order in now!!

Sneak Peek!! Amazing Life

Hey Guys!

Sorry it’s been a couple weeks, ok maybe longer…… I went to Orlando to attend the Stampin’ Up! ON Stage get together that SU! Demo’s attend.  I had such a great time! It was great rooming with my ‘SU! Besties’ (my girl friends and I only meet up at SU! functions) and learning/seeing all the new things coming out in January!!  I then spent a week with my Husband in Orlando for our 30th Anniversary!  The bummer is that I got sick the day after he got there. 🙁  I am STILL sick, and it’s been a MONTH!  Hence the reason why I haven’t been posting!

The card I am sharing with you today is from a stamp (Amazing Life) that we got for FREE while at OnStage!   I came up with this all on my own!!  I LOVE making my own designs, but time allowances don’t always make it to where I can do it.

I used this stamp from the set:

Doesn’t look like much right?

Well, I stamped it along the bottom with the two swirls going down, in Soft Suede ink. Repeated it along the bottom, lining up the swirls so they touched, then flipped the stamp over and lined up the two lines that are in the middle of the stamp.  I repeated this on top of the ones I stamped along the bottom and then flipped the stamp so the swirls were on the bottom again, and started all over to make a pattern!

After making the pattern, I stamped the 3 dot stamp in Petal Pink between the stamped pattern.  Don’t you LOVE how it came out!?  I was so tickled to see the beautiful pattern that this stamp made!!  If you watch the video I made you can see how It was done, if this doesn’t make sense.  I used other stamps for other designs, so be sure and check it out!

Here are the particulars for this card:

Paper
Petal Pink 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3/4″ x 3 7/8″, scrap
Gold Foil 4″ x 5 1/4″ (x2), scrap
Vanilla 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ (x2)
Inks
Soft Suede
Petal Pink
Versamark
Blend: Soft Suede dk, Petal Pink light
Accessories

Sympathy card using Bokeh stamp

Hey Guys!

I love the Bokeh stamp from Stampin’ Up!  When I stamp with it, just looking at it makes me smile.  It is very subtle and makes me relax for some reason.  For this card I inked the image using So Saffron on one side and Soft Sea Foam on the other, then I huffed on it and stamped it in the middle of a piece of Very Vanilla.  I then stamped ‘With Sympathy’ from Flourishing Phrases in Black in the middle.

I will be teaching this in a class at our Local Senior Center in Kernersville on Wednesday.  The Gold Foil paper surrounding the Very Vanilla sets off not only the stamp but the black background.

Hope you like this card!!  All the supplies used for this card are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store! I would love if you would choose me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator if you live in the US!
