Oh Hello Swallow Tail

Hi Stampin' Friends

I must apologize - I forgot to mention the name of the winner for Hostess Code QUTKNGC3.  It's Alicia Gonzales and she won $50 in free product!  I'll have another hostess code for you in a couple of days.  I mean if you are going to order online anyway, you might as well use a hostess code because you just might win free merchandise.  Of course, if your order is over $150, don't use the code because over $150, you receive the hostess benefits.

I love the gorgeous plus size image that is the Swallow Tail.  And I've seen so many beautful cards made with this stamp - from vintage/shabby chic to modern/clean and simple.

Elegant Eggplant and Very Vanilla is one of my favorite combinations though I don't use it very often; but when I do, it reminds how much I love it! (go figure).  

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest - that place is so full of gorgeous cards and I come away inspired.  The best way to find a card is to type in the stamp set name and you can add the type of card, i.e., shabby chic, vintage, bold, simple, etc.

The wing was stamped on the Elegant Eggplant Card Stock with Versamark.  I added White Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool.  The oval image was stamped off several times before stamping on Naturals Ivory Card Stock.  The sentiment was stamped with Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink.  The flowers are from the 5/8" Flower Trim and were lightly sponged with Elegant Eggplant.  The leaves (Subltes Collection Designer Series Paper Stack) are from the Bird Punch.

Dapper Tanner

Hi Stampin' Friends

I was fortunate enough to be in California for my grandson's (Tanner) prom.  The kids always look so gorgeous when they dress up for prom.  When I first saw Anissa's (Tanner's girlfriend) dress, I immediately thought Strawberry Slush!

I made a card to send him to let him know how proud I am of him and the fine young man he is turning out to be.

I used the Dapper Dad Clear Mount Stamp Set from the Spring Catalog.   This set was not in the big catalog but it still might make it if it comes out in the Spring Catalog carry-over list.  I hope so because you can use this set for more than Father's Day - it's so vertsatile.

If you need any supplies to make this card, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or if you like send me you list and I'll be more than happy to place the order for you.  Email me at  [email protected] or (479) 876-7453.

Goodbye Fan Fair

Hi Stampin' Friends

• Retirement List is out - get your favorites before they are gone!
• Online Retirement List Party (ends 7 May 2013)
• Free Card Kit tutorial (Ombre Technique) (ends 15 May 2013)
• Internet Hostess Club #2 now forming (need one more!)

I cased this card from Regina BD off of splitcoaststampers.  Usually I am inspired by a card and don't copy exactly as is but change things around to make it my own.  In this case, I copied it to the last detail - that's how much I loved this card!  I kept trying to change it but it just didn't look as good as the original. Thanks Regina for the inspiration!

If you case a card from someone, do you usually copy as is? Or do you change it to make it your own.

The focus is on the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper.  It was layered with More Mustard Card Stock and the base card is Island Indigo Card Stock - both are retiring this month.

Somehow the Vintage Faceted Designer Button got lost in the flowers from the 5/8" Flower Trim.

The sentiment, from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped with Island Indigo Ink on a scrap piece of Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and  die cut using the Itty Bitty Banners Framelights. 

The button was attached to the card using embroidery thread.  I usually try and do this because in the past, the buttons have fallen off even when I use the MiniGlue Dots or Tombo Adhesive.

All Dressed Up!

Hi Stampin' Friends

• Retirement List is out - get your favorites before they are gone!
• Online Retirement List Party (ends 7 May 2013)
• Free Card Kit tutorial (Ombre Technique) (ends 15 May 2013)
• Internet Hostess Club #2 now forming (when filled)

I had so much fun making this card - felt like a little girl playing with paper dolls!  I used the Dressed Up Framelits die to die cut the dress using the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  The polka dot dress reminds me if the 1950's - I remember having a polka dot dress but it was navy blue with white polka dots.

The inspiration for this card came from Pinterest.  I love that site, I could get lost and lose so many hours surfing that site!

The button and ribbon is part of Sale-a-bration's Sycamore Street's Ribbon Pack and the sentiment is from the Petite Pairs Clear Mount Stamp Set.  The base card is Calypso Coral Card Stock - did you know this color is retiring?  I use this color a lot when I use the Tea for Two DSP but they are both going away this May so grab the colors before they are gone!

The ladies at my Big Shot class scheduled for Monday, 29 April 2013 will be making this card the card found here.

I made a mistake when I put this card together.  Can you guess what it is?  I didn't even notice it until I took the picture and was adding it to this blog.  Oh well!

The Bridges of Madison County

Hi Stampin' Friends

• Retirement List is out - get your favorites before they are gone!
• Online Retirement List Party (ends 7 May 2013)
• Free Card Kit tutorial (Ombre Technique) (ends 15 May 2013)
• Internet Hostess Club #2 now forming (when filled)

I forgot to let everyone know abou the winner of the "Guess Which Stamp Sets are Retiring" contest.  The winner was C. Wright of Oklahoma.  She won ten out of ten guesses and has a $20 certificate off her next order.  Congratulations C!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest.  It was interesting to see all the guesses that you guys came up with.

Today's card is for my friend Jane.  I usually give her a shabby chic girly card but because I am giving her the book, The Bridges of Madison county as a gift, I decided to use an image from an old Stampin' Up! set called Changing Seasons (2003).  I loved the Bridges of Madison County - when I first read it, I cried and cried.  Then I saw the movie and was very disappointment.  Clint Eastwood is not a romantic type of guy - he was known for his action movies!

The image was stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock with Early Espresso.  I used the retiring colors (sniff, sniff) Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, and Certainly Celery to color in the bird, sky, trees and cover bridge. I also used Soft Suede for the roof and fence, Daffodil Delight for the daisies, and Basic Gray for the rocks.  A blender pen was used to blend in the colors.

I covered the book with Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and added a band which you can pull off to read the book

 

The shabby chic flowers are ones I've had for a long, long time - they were attached to the band which holds the book close. 

I used the retiring Lovely Letters Stamp Set (letter J) on the lower right hand corner.

Amazing Sister

Hi Stampin' Friends

Free Clothespins

Free Scrapbook Tutorial

Frequency Buyers Rewards

Hostess Club #2 now forming

I have such an amazing sister!  She has alwas been there for me throughout the years and I love her dearly.  Today's card is for her - or for her birthday!

I used the Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set and the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  I love the vintage look of the stamp set.

I'm not sure which version I like the best.  With the pearls or without the pearls?  I'm not sure about the pearls - they look like a bird's egg on a nest.   Let me know which one you like.

 The flowers are from the 5/8" Flower Trim and were dyed using the Calypso Coral Reinker.  The leaves are from the Bird Punch.

 The base card (Calypso Coral Card Stock) was embossed using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.  The sentiment was stamped with Calypso Coral Classic Ink on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  It was then spritzed with the Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker and the Color Spritzer Tool for an airbrush look.  This tool is a must for your creative tool belt!

Note:

I received my old fashion vintage clothespins and will be sending out them out to  my online orders - thanks ladies!

Blooming with Kindness

 Hi Stampin' Friends

The stunning Blooming with Kindness six-piece stamp set gives you plenty of options for sending your best regards. Includes expressions of support, gratitude, and even birthday wishes. Or use the floral image as a breathtaking focal point for your next scrapbook page!

This card is for my cousin whose birthday is in April - I am way ahead of the game in this case!  Usually I'm making them at the last minute (LOL).

I colored in the flower image using Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Markers.  I then lightly spritzed it with water to give it a soft look.   If you look closely you can see where it's darker in some places and lightly in other places.  That's from the spritizing.

The background was embossed using the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog and it's still available.  The pattern paper is the First Edition Specialty Design Series Paper and  which was punched on the left edge of the DSP with the Eyelet Border Punch (retired).   The gorgeous, gorgeous lace is from the Artisan Embellishments Kit from the Spring Catalog.  Did I say it was gorgeous?

I recently learned that it's easier to attach the lace if you use Sticky Strip.  I was using Tombo Multi-purpose Glue and it would go all over the place (too messy) though I do use it to adhere the card stock together.  But the Sticky Strip is so much better for the lace!

If you need any supplies to make this card, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or you can send me your wish list and I'll be more than happy to 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 Birthday BJ

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's card is for my nephew Bobby John.  His birthday is the 1st week in March but since I'll be on a cruise, I thought I'd make it early and get it in the mail before I leave.

I cased this card from Nancy Riley and I love it for its simpicity.  All the squares are retired designer series paper but it is still available on the Clearance Rack.  Since it's such a quick and simple card, I won't include any directions but I will tell you I used the 1 1/4" square punch for the squares.

I'll have some blog candy while I am gone so stay tune for the details!  I also put out a special via my newsletter that's good during my cruise.  And I will send out a reminder right before I leave so if you are not on my newsletter list, please subscribe now (upper left hand).  You don't want to miss this special!

Feels Good Redux

Hi Stampin' Friends

Are you ready for Sale-a-Bration? 

WEBSITE COUNTDOWN

 

I used the Feels Good Clear Mount Stamp Set again for today's card. 

 

For the background I added the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  Love this paper with it's vintage look.  I also used the roses from the Artisan Embellishment Kit  - aren't they beautiful?   I do hope the roses are sold separately in the new catalog when it comes out in July.  I love the lace and paper roses in this kit and want to hoard them instead of use them!  Do you ever feel that way about a certain item?

The leaves are also from the same DSP and were punched out using the Bird Punch.

I spritzed the upper left and lower right with the Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Marker and Color Spritzer Tool.

If you need any supplies to make this card or need any supplies  period, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  And don't forget you get the free card kit tutorial shown here for any online order.

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.

Beautiful Birthday and blog candy winner

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's cards features the single stamp called Beautiful Birthday.  Sometimes all you need is a sweet and simple birthday stamp--and this is it! Use it to make cards in advance--so you're always ready with handmade birthday greetings for those you love.

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this card and it was so much easier using a premade sketch than to try and figure out what looks good.   Do you know of any other blogs that have sketches?

The background paper is from the Spring Catalog and is called Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  I used one of the flowers from the 5/8" Flower Trim.  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite accessories - love the dimensional flowers.

The leaves are from the Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack and were punched out using the Bird Punch.

That is hard to just pick one. I love the lace tape but I am seeing lots of DP that is pretty awesome also. The secret garden bundle looks neat too.

Linda - please send me your address and I'll get the lace tape out to you.

Thanks to everyone who submitted comments.  I also found it hard to select one because so many fit my style of stamping.  I have to absolutely say that this is my favorite catalog ever!

A Card for Anna - Sneak Peek

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's card is for my sister-in-law, Anna, who is going through chemo right now.  I wanted to give a beautiful lady a beautiful card!

I used the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper from the Spring Catalog.  This DSP is absolutely beautiful and "just my cup of tea"!  I love the shabby chic look of it.  Please note:  Stampin' Up! has added the coordinating color card stock to the back of each package.  We've been asking for this for a couple of years and they finally delivered!  WHOOOHOOO!

I also used the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder from the Spring Catalog on a strip of Lucky Limeade Card Stock.  I added the new 5/8" Flower Trim from the same catalog.  The vintage dimensional flowers are gorgeous! 

Anna's name was printed on Very Vanilla Card Stock using My Digital Studio 2.  I then stamped the frame in Lucky Limeade - it's from the Four Frames Clear Mount Stamp Set.  It was punched out using the Decorative Label Punch.

I also embossed the inside of the card using the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder on Very Vanilla Card Stock. 

All of these items will be available for purchase on 3 January 2013.  If you are a customer of mine, you should have received your copy of the Spring Catalog by now.  If you have not, please let me know and I'll get one out to you.

If you are not a customer and don't have a demonstrator, please send me an e-mail and I'll send you one.

Thanks for stopping by today
