Friends Never Fade

Here is another sneak peek at one of the new stamp sets coming soon in the new Stampin Up catalog! I can hardly wait! This stamp set is called Friends Never Fade and I used the matching designer paper called Greenhouse Gala. THe yellow if the new Daffodil Delight cardstock and the orange is pumpkin pie.  I also used the daffodil marker to color in the center of the flower.

I just love Hydrangeas!

I think this new stamp set "Because I Care" is my favorite one in the new catalog. It is a level 1 hostess set so you can get it for FREE just by placing an order! For this card, I used the En Francais background in marina mist on marina mist cardstock and layered that onto the concord crush cardstock. For the flower, I inked up the flower part in marina mist and then took the concord crush marker and tapped it all over, colored the stem in pear pizzazz marker and then stamped it onto the top note paper.

Watercolor Trio with Texture

This is a card I did as a make and take at my downline meeting last week. I used the Watercolor Trio set from the Stampin Up summer mini and the square lattice embossing folder also from the summer mini. I used old olive and bermuda bay for this card. I am so bummed that bermuda bay is leaving soon. It is one of my favorite colors.

Mojo Monday challenge card

Here is this week's Mojo Monday challenge sketch.

And this is what I came up with. I used the brand new stamp set called Printed Petals that we received for FREE as a pillow gift on the Stampin Up cruise. I just love it. It will be in the new Stampin Up catalog that comes out July 1st. THe paper is the Thoroughly Modern designer paper.

Swap cards from my downline!

I will be sharing some of my downline swaps from our last meeting while I am on the cruise…..This one was done by Melissa Carr who was also the featured demo for April. I posted lots of her samples a couple weeks ago if you want to scroll back and check them out.

Mojo Monday a little late

Hey everyone,

I am way behind on my mojo this week. I am leaving for the Stampin Up Caribbean cruise on Sunday and have so much to do but I wanted to make this card real quick.

Here is this week's mojo challenge and this is what I came up with…..

I am so going to miss my Bermuda Bay /Soft Suede combo when the new catalog comes out.  I love this color of blue. I used the Thoroughly Modern designer paper and on the soft suede piece I stamped the herbs from Garden from the heart. THe buttons are clear with the dsp behind them.

Card from a friend

My friend Sam made me some gorgeous cards with the Elements of Style set from the Summer mini so I thought I would share. This one was embossed and colored in. It is hard to tell from the photo but it is gorgeous in person.

Featured demo of the month part 2

Here is part 2 of my featured demonstrator of the month (Melissa Carr).

This first project is a tea tin…..how cute is that! It is filled with tea bags and she even decorated the spoon with butterflies.

Here is a view from the top….

Melissa made this card with the Spring Song set from pg 102 in the big Stampin Up idea book and catalog.

This is a triangle box she made using the scallop envelope die in the Big Shot.  The flowers are also from a big shot embosslit die.

Here is a view from the top.

This card was made with the Fifth Avenue Floral set. Melissa embossed these flowers and then colored them using the aquapainter and refill technique. It came out so pretty.

This last one is a scrapbook page of Melissa's son. I love the colors in this one.

I love pink and brown!

This is a card I did for a swap for my downline meeting last month. The theme was designer series papers. You had to pick one of our dsp packs as part of your card. I chose the Sweet Pea paper. I just can't say enough about how cool it is to have a huge slab of designer papers to flip through and with 2 sheets of every design, you can make a ton of cards! I also used the fancy flower punch, the oval punch, and the eyelet border punch on this card. Colors are pretty in pink and chocolate chip. It is hard to see, but I also added a chocolate chip corduroy button in the center of the flower. I stamped the vine image from Vintage Vogue on the punched out flowers also.
