Detailed Smiles

I have another quick and easy card today.  I am also showcasing the beautiful Highland Heather from the Stampin’ Up! Color Revamp.  It is gorgeous!  And I am once again using the Detailed With Love stamp set.  It is a very versatile set for sure.

 

Detailed with Love, 146606

 

I have also, for the first time, used the new Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats.  I used it for the detailed cutting in the center of the card.  I may not have needed to do that, but I did not have a lot of time and didn’t want to mess up the card.  So I played it safe and I love the outcome. I will definitely be playing with these mats more in the near future.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  This is a very simple layout that could be utilized in a variety of ways.  I hope you will give it a try.

Detailed With Love

The card I have made for today is a little bit different.  I have mostly focused on the punch instead of the stamp set or paper.  It is the Detailed Trio Punch.  I really like it.  As described, there are three punches in one.  A Corner Rounder, YAY!!, a Flower, and a Ribbon Slot.  It is a great tool to have in your tool bag.

 

Detailed With Love, 146606

 

I wanted to focus on the punch, so I kept the rest of the card pretty simple.  The ribbon is the gorgeous Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.  It comes in Whisper White or Very Vanilla.  Other than the ribbon the layers are the focal point.

Thank you for visiting today.  I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new card.  And please check out the Specials Deals going on.  The Join and get a SET of Ink Pads is an all time greatest offer!! I would love to talk with you about joining my team of stampers.

I Am Back!!

I am back from my awesome sightseeing tour down the west coast.  We went from Seattle to San Francisco. I must say the Oregon Coast is simply breathtaking!  All of the scenery and sights were wonderful.

Today I have a pretty quick card for you.  I am trying to get back in the groove and have a lot of cards to make.  So we will get right to it this morning.

 

Dandelion Wishes, 146747

 

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

I used the beautiful Tropical Escape 6X6 Designer Series Paper Stack as the main color scheme for this card.  I am really in love with this paper.  The colors are so bright and are some surprising combinations.  The colors I have used today are not something I would normally have put together.  So keep this combination to try yourself.

The three triangles, or squares if turned another way, are a great way to have a different look with stamp sets.  I chose the Dandelion Wishes set and stamped them very subtly with the Gray Granite. I used the Layering Squares to cut them and the Blushing Bride scalloped background.

Thank you for coming back to see me today!  I really appreciate it.

There are two fabulous promotions going on right now.

Granny Apple Coffee for GDP 144

I am submitting today’s card for the Global Design Project #144 Challenge.  It is a CASE the designer.  I used her layout for my design .  To CASE can mean using a little, a lot, or just the layout.  I was a little in the middle of that on my card.

 

Stampin' Up!, stampinup, Jackie Beers, jackiebeers, coffee Cafe, Coffee Cups framelits

Coffee Cafe, 143677

 

And here is the challenge card I cased.

 

 

I was so thrilled when the Coffee Cafe set and matching framelits carried over to the new catalog.  Then I realized I had not used them in quite some time.  So here they are paired with the gorgeous Tropical Escape 6X6 Designer Series Paper.

All of the supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page.  Thank you so much for visiting today!  I very much appreciate it and love to hear from you.

COLOR COMBINATION:  Of course these are in the Gorgeous DSP.

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • The wide strip of DSP is 5 1/2 X 2 1/2
  • The banner strip of DSP is 5 X 2

 

 


 

It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  I would love to have you join my team.  A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first.  Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early.  For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator.  Of course, the discount helps!  If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.

A Wish for InKing Royalty June Blog Hop

 

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs – this month’s song is “Here Comes the Sun.” As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with projects that are inspired by the joy of the summer sun. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

To me Sun = Summer, at least it did when I was a child.  Another childhood summer memory is blowing on the little dandelion flowers and watching the fluff float around.  Now I think of allergies and where I was spreading those little seeds!!  But let’s stick with childhood summer good times!  This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the stamp set Dandelion Wishes in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog.  And when I saw the theme for this  month’s blog hop, again I immediately thought of the dandelions!  So here is the card made from my summer memories.

 

 

Dandelion Wishes, 146747

 

 

I totally love that sentiment!  I love the font as well as the statement.  And I am pleased that the card did come together as I envisioned it.  That is a super win for me.  Almost all of these products are new, which is another thing I love.

The colors I chose obviously were to match the Sun theme.  I believe they totally worked to create the summer feeling.  The new Pineapple Punch is a serious WOW and packs a punch (of color)!!

 

Color Combination:

 

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, the sun is from the Painted Harvest sunflower.  I stamped the center and then the least defined of the flower section.

All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Brian King. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Pearl Flowers

The Stampin’ Up! Share What You Love Designer Series Paper is by far my favorite of all time!!  I have used it several times since I received my Pre-Order for the new catalog.  And I cannot stop using it.  I may need intervention!  But in addition to the AWESOME paper, I am showcasing a new fold.  Or it could be a new cut, or both!  Here it is and then I will explain what I mean.

 

Stampin' Up!, stampinup, Abstract Impressions, Share What You Love DSP, jackiebeers, Jackie Beers

Abstract Impressions, 147513

 

 

That DSP just shines!   Actually it really does shine.  This is one of the sheets that has a pearlized look to some of the flowers.  The little pearls in the flower centers are the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.  They are just too cute!

The Fold/Cut is a little different.  Since the DSP is card stock weight, it can serve as a card base without feeling flimsy.  To achieve this look, I cut the Smoky Slate card stock to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2.  I scored it at 4 1/4, the normal folding point for an A2 card.  But I did not stop there.  I went back to my cutter and with the score line at 3/4 on the trimmer ruler , I cut off the rest of the panel.  (And I was able to use that cut piece to make the top layer with a bit leftover.)

The DSP is cut to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2.  I burnished my fold on the Smoky Slate layer and placed adhesive on the inside of the 3/4 section.  Then all I had to do was line up the DSP with the rest of the base and fold the small section over on top of it.  Easy Peasy and perfect alignment.   An added bonus is that when you open the card, you get to see the other side of this beautiful DSP!!  WooHoo!!  That is always a problem for me when the DSP is gorgeous on both sides.  I hate to hide one of them.  With this Cut/Fold, I do not have to hide either side.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!  I greatly appreciate it and would be happy to answer any questions if I was not very clear on the instructions.  I have listed all of the products used at the bottom of the post.  I hope you have a great rest of your day!
