Love

Hi Stampin' Friends

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary.  In going through some pictures for another project, I came across a picture that was taken during the wedding.  I guess it's one that didn't make it into the album.

We were married on 14 February 1993 at the Loveland Ski area near Denver.  We are wearing ski clothes (even the minister!) because we chose to be married in a quaint little cabin at the top of Lift 2.  We had champagne after the wedding and I remember thinking I didn't want to drink too much because we still had to ski down to the lodge!

Anyhoo!  Today's card does not have any stamping in on it - I chose to use one of the "love" tickets from the Artisan Embellishment Kit.  I love, love this kit and I've ordered several because I don't want to run out of the gorgeous lace that's included in the kit.

The ticket, rose and lace were taken from the Artisan Embellishment Kit and the strip of DSP is from the More Amore Designer Series Paper.  The background is Primrose Petals that was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The base card is Crumb Cake Card Stock.

If you need any supplies to make this project, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or if you like, send me your list and I'll place the order for you.

Feeling Sentimental

Hi Stampin' Friends

The Feeling Sentimental Clear Mount Stamp Set is one of my favorite sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.   I love the vintage look of this set.  

I cased this from a card I found on Pinterest but I can't remember whose it was and it didn't have a watermark on it.  I changed a couple of items to make it my own, i.e., different embossing folder, etc. The ladies made this card at stamp camp today and they really liked the color combination (Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake).

Since it's such a simple card that I won't go into details on how to make this card.

These are the cards the ladies made at stamp camp today.  I thought I would attached the supply list for each card in case you wanted to make any of them.

Happy 50th Anniversary!

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's card is for a very dear friend, Diana, that I've known since high school.  The card is for her and Wayne's 50th wedding anniversary.

I decided to break open the Artisan Embellishment Kit from the spring Catalog and use the abolutely gorgeous lace that's in it.  It's the most beautiful lace that Stampin' Up! has every offered (that I know of) and I absolutely, unconditionally, categorically, totally, love it!

I also used the flowers from the 5/8" flower trim.  I sponged them lightly on the ends with Soft Suede Classic Ink.  The leaves, from the bird punch, were also sponged on the ends with Soft Suede Classic Ink.

The background is Very Vanilla Card Stock which was embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then layered on Brushed Gold Card Stock.

If you need any supplies to make today's card, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or if you like, send me your list and I'll place the order for you.

Thanks for Stopping by today!

Hi Stampin' Friends

First of all, Happy 50th Anniversary to Becky & Bobby!  Becky and I have been best friends since 1958 and even though I moved out of state we've stayed in touch.  I'm sorry I will not be in California to celebrate such a important occasion with them.

This is such a simple card that I don't know why I had such a hard time making it.  Maybe it was because it was for such a significant event in my best friend's life. 

 The names on the medium heart and the sentiment Happy 50th Anniversary (inside the card) were made using the My Digital Studio 2 in the color More Mustard and printed on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  It was the closest color to gold and when it printed out, it looked gold! 

The hearts are from the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies.  After they were die cut, I embossed them using the gorgeous new Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog.  I added Pearls from the Basic Pearls Jewels Accents for a little touch of class.

The roses are from my long lost stash I found when we moved.  I have a lot of them and they are just too pretty to throw away or even give away.  Unless it's on a card! (LOL)

I added two leaves to the left side of the roses just for interest.  I tried making them in a green color but it took away from the simplicity of the card.  The leaves were cut free hand using Paper Snips and then embossed with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder.

The lace is non-SU and also from "stuff" I discovered when we moved.  Again, too pretty to throw or give away.

It's time for some blog candy!

Hi Stampin' Friends

Here's another sneak peek at my girlfriend's anniversary card!  I started this card several times because I kept messing up.  One time I had completed the card and then when I added my personal stamp to the back of the card, I smeared the ink.  Anyway, after several attempts the card is on its way to California.

I love the way it came out and cannot wait until I can show it to you tomorrow.

In the mean time........

How about some Blog Candy!

Happy Anniversary Stephanie and David

Hi Stampin' Friends!

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood!  Love, love this weather.  Hope you are having nice weather where you live.

I made this card for my daughter and son-in-law.  Yes, his name is David (same as my husband).  They even have the same initials (DB)!

This is more my style than Stephanie's style.  She likes clean and simple, I like shabby chic.  But I think she will like this one - I hope so anyway.

I used My Digital Studio to create the sentiment and printed it out on Confetti Cream Card Stock (retired).  I then used the Extra Large Oval Punch to punch it out.  I layered it with Confetti Cream Card Stock which had been die cut using the Ovals Die (retired).

I then used the Designer Frames Folders to give the oval some interest and texture. 

The flowers are from my stash I discovered when I moved.  The small ribbon flowers matched the Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.

The base card (Confetti Cream Card Stock) was embossed with the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.

 

 The kids were going out to dinner so I inserted some money - drinks on me!  The wineglass image is from the internet, printed and punched out with the 1 3/4 Circle Punch.  The wrap was punched out using the Lace Ribbon Border Punch (retired). 

I'll announce the Free Stamp set of the Month winner tomorrow so come back to see if you won.  The winner will receive $25.00 they can use in the new catalog.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a nice weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Stampers

Before I go into today's card, I'd like to share a couple of pictures with you.

This is the card that Rachel gave to her teacher.  She picked this one out of the ones I made during the last month.

Winter has finally arrived to our neck of the woods. 

This is the card I'm giving my husband tomorrow.  I guess you are wondering why it says Happy Anniversary instead of Happy Valentine's Day?  That's because 19 years ago, we married on Valentine's Day.  He picked the location and I picked the date!  So we were married on Lift #2 at Loveland Ski area on 14 February 1993.  Yes, that's right we were married in a small cabin at the top of one of the intermediate lifts at Loveland Ski area, Colorado.  The whole party had to know how to ski (including the minister) because skiing down was the only way to get down the ski slopes.

We've finally gotten a definite date for closing and moving.  So the next 2 1/2 weeks will be a whirlwind of packing, cleaning and moving - WHOOOHOOOO!!! 

Thanks for stopping by today!
