Friendship

I am finally using the gorgeous purples that were part of the Stampin’ Up! Color Revamp.  I have used touches previously, but this card is “PURPLE” !

 

Tea Room Bundle, 148410

 

I was not really over the moon about this bundle until I began seeing the Framelit my sentiment is cut from.  Then I took a closer look at the entire set and was sold.  I adore the sentiments and the framelits.  The cute little cup is perfect as well.

I wanted the sentiment and it’s frame to be the focal point so I really did not want a bright DSP to take away from it.  Then I thought of the Tufted Embossing Folder and knew that was the right touch.  Of course I had to add a few pearls to highlight the tufting.

Thank you for visiting today!  I really appreciate that you take the time to stop by and check out my projects.

The Greatest

I have found myself using quite a bit more Designer Series Paper in the last few months than I ever have.  I am not sure why, but I am loving all of the DSP in the new Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!.  They do know how to pick beautiful paper.  Today’s card is carrying on that trend.  I have used the Tropical Escape DSP.

 

Tropical Chic Bundle, 148339

 

Since this DSP debuted I have  used more Blushing Bride card stock than in the last several years.  Suddenly it is perfect to pair with several different colors.  Here is my color combination for today.  It came from the DSP of course.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

The Granny Apple Green layer is the Bokah Dots stamp set.  I love the look of texture it gives!  For the flower, I used the Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker to color the entire flower.  I then took the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Marker and lightly went around the edges and the inner lines.  Mango Melody is the perfect bright color to compliment the others.  The sentiment is stamped in Poppy Parade as well and punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch.  The edge is also from the Poppy Parade marker.  I simple ran the side of the brush tip around the edge of the cut out.  Easy Peasy!  Having the matching Framelits for this stamp set makes this a very quick card.  I love that….

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Base Card of Blushing Bride is 4 1/4 X 11
  • Shaded Spruce layer is 5 1/4 X 4
  • DSP layer is 5 3/8 X 3 7/8
  • Blushing Bride small layer is 3 5/8 X 2 1/2
  • Bokah Dots layer is 3 1/2 X 2 3/8

A Friend

I have another sneak peek of the Blended Seasons Stamp Set that will be available only during August.  It is a super stamp set with Christmas, Fall, and Summer stamps.  And the font of the sentiments is just wonderful!

 

Blended Seasons, 149016

 

This sentiment is probably my favorite and I love the combination fonts for it.   Can you tell that I just received my new Stampin’ Blends?  I had to give them a try.  On this card I only used the Highland Heather one though.  The blends make coloring so quick and easy.  And you definitely do not need to be a great colorer.  I am for sure not one of those!!  But the blends make it look good anyway!  Yay!!

I did a little more layers than normal on this card.  Again, that was done to show off some of the beautiful colors from the Color Revamp.  These are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and of course Old Olive.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I very much appreciate it.  I hope you will return on Monday for some new card ideas.

Another Detailed With Love

Punches are one of my favorite crafting products.  I think of them as a staple of paper crafting.  So I was thrilled when Stampin’ Up! came out with this new Detailed Trio Punch to pair with the Detailed With Love stamp set.  Yes, they are a bundle!!  The 3 in 1 punch is perfect.  All three corners are almost must haves and here they are all in one.  I have used the same center piece as I did on my previous card.  But the look is very different!

 

Detailed With Love Bundle

 

Would you believe that this Designer Series Paper is the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP?  I rarely do baby cards, but loved this DSP.   I believe it is perfect for non-baby cards!  And it is a totally different look from the first card I made using this bundle.  You can see that card HERE.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Center = 2 1/2 X 3
  • Center background = 2 3/4 X 3 1/4
  • Pool Party = 4 X 5 1/4
  • DSP = 3 3/4 X 5
  • DSP strip = 1 1/2 X 4 1/2
  • White strip = 1 5/8 X 4 5/8

Watercolor Notecards

It helps if you put the correct date on the scheduled post.  Sorry about that!!

Today I have a one layer card.  That is super unusual for me.  I do love my layers!  But I hope when you see this one, you will consider these great notecards as quick and easy cards to have on hand.  Half of the work is already done for you.  Take a look and then I will explain what is already on the card.

 

Delightfully Detailed Notecards, 146911

 

 

I love how this card turned out!  These notecards are delivered with the watercolor wash look already on them.  They are half in Mint Macaron and half in Blackberry Bliss.  I love the subtle watercolor look which screams for you to just stamp on top of it.  The Blackberry Bliss has a darker background and is maybe even more beautiful.

These notecards would be the perfect way to make and have on hand some quick Thank You type cards, or for a beginner crafter to not have to worry about doing layers.  You get 20 notecards and envelopes for $9.50.

I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede and the tree by coloring with my Stampin’ Write Markers in Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede.  And that is the completed card!  It cannot get much simpler than that.  The stamp set is Rooted In Nature, a wonderful set, especially for more masculine cards.

I also stamped on the envelope to give a little “something special is in here” look to it.  I try to always remember to do that.  It is a leaf from the same set stamped in Mint Macaroon.

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you will return on Monday.  Please remember to review all of the current specials.  The JOIN NOW is the best ever!!!

A Chocolate Gift

I have a bit of an unusual, at least for me, project for you today.  From my West Coast trip I brought a friend ,who loves Ghirardelli Chocolate, a gift.  Of course I had to make a decorative box to hold it.  This is definitely not my specialty!!  But I measured and winged it, and here are the results.

 

Treat Time, 146626

 

 

I did used retired DSP.  I wanted a thicker paper for my gift box.  There are some great new ones, I just did not have a large enough piece.  I have been really using my DSP lately!    And here is the inside of the box.

 

 

 

I used Julie DiMatteo’s favorite mini magnets as the main closure.  I did add a decorative slide off band as well.  In doing so, I fell in love with this stamp set, Treat Time !  Oh My, who would not LOVE to get a card or gift with the sentiment “It’s A Real Treat Being Friends With You”?  I think that is my new favorite sentiment.

Thank you for visiting today.  Remember to check out the specials, and especially the FREE Ink Pads for joining!!

MEASUREMENTS:

  • 8 X 12 Thick DSP
  • Score at 2, 3 1/8, 5, & 6 1/8 on the short side
  • Score 1 1/8 from each end.
  • Choose the top, and remove the first two sections on each end of the top.
  • Adhere and close as you choose
