How about a little Spring Time?

How about Daisies?

Hello,

I made this card by using the Stampin' Up! Color Coach. I love this tool! I knew that I wanted to use Marina Mist card stock, so I looked up Marina Mist on the Color Coach and it suggests using Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze together. I love how these colors coordinate together! After selecting my card stock colors, I used an image from the Elements of Style stamp set (120045) to stamp my background using Marina Mist ink pad. The daisy was made with Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze card stock ran through the Big Shot using the Flower, Daisies #2 Bigz Die(114520). The brad in the center of the flower is from the Antique Brads (117273) Other products used are: Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (115370), Finial Press Embossing Folder (115963), Marina Mist 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon (119965), Basic Pearls (119247), Word Window Punch (119857) and Modern Label Punch (119849).

Punch Fun

Hello,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. The weather has been absolutely beautiful this weekend! I am ready for Spring/Summer to arrive!! How about you?

The card I have posted today uses so many fun products from Stampin' Up! I started off using Basic Black card stock, Very Vanilla card stock, Riding Hood Red card stock and Love Letter designer series paper. I used 1 of the 6 images in the Artistic Etchings stamp set to stamp the background on the Riding Hood Red card stock on the left hand side of my card. Once stamped, I added Basic Pearls to the center of each image. The Basic Pearls add so much dimension to a project and I seem to use them on many of my projects. I also used the Tiny Tags stamp set with the Jewelry Tag punch, Scallop Edge punch, 1" Circle punch and 1 3/8" Circle punch. After adhering my circles to the Basic Black card stock, I then ran this through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I love how this makes the circles look like they are inlaid into the card stock. I then ran Very Vanilla card stock through the Big Shot using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die to make the 3 small butterflies. I added Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon to my card and then added the Tiny Tags to the ribbon with a safety pin from the Vintage Trinkets.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

Perfect Punches

Hello,

I hope everyone had a great weekend and survived this crazy Indiana weather. We had some really strong storms come through Indiana last night and into the early morning. We just had a lot of rain, lightning, thunder, with high winds. I know some surrounding cities had a lot of storm damage and my heart goes out to those families.

The card I want to share with you today uses the Perfect Punches stamp set. I found the idea for this card in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love looking through my Stampin' Up! catalogs to find an inspiring idea! If you haven't seen the Occasions Mini Catalog, let me know and I would love to mail a FREE copy to you! There are so many awesome products in this Mini.

Product used on this card: Perfect Punches stamp set, Basic Black card stock, Sahara Sand card stock, Newsprint designer series paper, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, Scallop Oval punch, Basic Pearls, 3/8" Twill Tape and Vintage Trinkets.

I also wanted to share a photo of my 3 year old grandson Lucas. He had surgery today to remove his tonsils and adenoids. This photo was taken about 2 hours after his surgery while still in the recovery room. He is one tough little boy!! He was such a trooper the whole time he was in the hospital. I want to wish him a speedy recovery!! Love you Lucas!!
