It's A Wrap

Can you believe I made this using It's A Wrap? I stamped the bottoms of three of the wrappers in versamark, embossed them with black powder and cut them out. I turned them sideways and got these great bags! I used some narrow black ribbon for the handles (11/2 inch lengths). I stuffed them with real tissue paper (2x2). Everything is taped on to the back of the embossed bag. I used dimensionals to attach them to the white cardstock (21/2x31/2). I also used basic black and real red cardstock, the scallop edge punch, my Big Shot and the dotted embossing folder, the triple heart punch called Heart to Heart, and the 1 inch square punch (inside). For the inside I only taped around three side, leaving the top open to slip in a gift card. I can leave a message and sign my name by the cake. I am going to have a hard time deciding which cards we are making for the January class.  It is Jan. 21st and again on Jan. 22nd. Come and stamp with us!

Every Moment

Love, love, love this card!! These colors are gorgeous together. Crumb cake and pool party. Look around the image. Do you see the new embossing folder image? It is a WOW! I colored this with our watercolor paper with an aqua painter. The trick is to go around the entire image with sahara sand and an aqua painter before you add any color. It creates a slight shadow and helps the colors pop out. If you do it after you add the colors they bleed. Stamp, color, emboss. Sponge all the edges with crumb cake, too. Our new lace punch is a wonderful addition to our punch family.

Fabulous Florets

Very simple! I used the leaves from fabulous florets then added some butterflies sponged in red. I used a maker to add the antenna and bodies. We will be making this one in the Beautiful Butterflies class on Tuesday, July 5th. There are still spots available if you would like to come. See my calendar above for details.

Beautiful Wings

I hope Santa brought you a Big Shot. I can't believe that when it first came out in the Stampin' Up! catalog  I said I didn't want it. I love everything it does. This time I used the dotted embossing folder, the beautiful wings embosslits die, and the scallop rectangle clearlits die. This was simple card to make using whisper white, pretty in pink, certainly celery, and bashful blue. Thinking of you came from Curly Cute. Don't forget to stamp before you run the paper through your Big Shot.

BECAUSE I CARE

Easy! Easy! Easy! I started with a Marina Mist base then I stamped the words using Curly Cute with Marina Mist Classic ink on Whisper White. Next, I ran that through the Big Shot with the Dotted embossing folder. I used the Corner Rounder on all pieces of cardstock. I added Marina Mist ribbon just before I taped that down. Then I used the Marina Mist and Certainly Celery markers and colored directly on the rubber, gave it a good huff, then stamped the image. Don't forget to press down a little harder in the middle of this stamp or the image won't come out all the way. I put this on a Marina Mist background and used Dimensionals to stick it down over the ribbon. I added a bow using a Glue Dot. This would be pretty in lots of colors... just make sure you have the matching ribbon!

A FLOWER FOR ALL SEASONS

I have been so busy with classes that I have not had time to create anything to post! I have enjoyed playing for the last few hours. I love sunflowers so A Flower For All Seasons is one of my favorite sets. I used Curly Cute which I think will be one of my favorite word sets. The base is Daffodil Delight. I stamped the images with black StazOn because I love the crisp clear images it makes. I used markers to color (Daffodil, Celery, Poppy Parade, More Mustard, and Bashful Blue), and the Corner Rounder just for fun. I used a small piece of the Poppy Parade Designer Paper at the bottom. Did you know you get 8 printed sheets of each color in the new paper pack? Stamping on DSP is a great little touch, too. I used the Poppy Parade ribbon to finish it off.
