The title should read Thank You For Your Service!! Although we are thanking the service men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice . Remembering those who did not come home is the hardest I believe. I am very appreciative of all our Service Men and Women. So please remember them today as you are celebrating with family and friends.
To honor our fallen heroes, I could not find my military stamp set. So I created what I hope will be appreciated. I used the Ribbon Of Courage and my Stampin’ Write Markers.
Ribbon of Courage, 143855
Of course, my colors are Red , White, and Blue. I colored the stamp with the red, left the center uncolored, and the bottom in blue. I then went around the edges and inside lines with the Black Stampin’ Write Marker to define everything. It actually turned out like I envisioned it! that doesn’t happen very often.
Thank you for taking the time to check my card today. I very much appreciate it. I hope you can enjoy this day with family and friends. My thoughts are also with those having damage from the storm. The supplies I used are at the bottom of the page.
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.
Today’s card is a little Wacky as opposed to yesterday’s Bright card. I will return to normal cards next week…maybe 🙂 I have used Mary Fish’s Million Dollar Stamp Set, Varied Vases and the matching punch for my card. I am in Mary’s 3rd tier so I feel appreciative of this wonderful bundle. It really matches Mary and has her signature tulip in the set.
Varied Vases Bundle, 148381
Remember that the title for today is TILTED Vases. Actually the vases are the only things aligned straight on the card. This card came about from items left on my stamping desk. It is a bit different, but very bright and happy.
I stamped the vases with Gray Granite ink on the white layer as well as the outer two stamped onto scrap paper. I colored all three with the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and then punched the two outer vases using the matching Vases punch.
Even though the red layers are Real Red cardstock, the red flowers are Lovely Lipstick marker on the left and Real Red marker on the right , with Pink Piroutte Stampin’ Blends in the center. The Washi tape seemed to match the Tutti Frutti DSP so it serves as the table for the vases.
When I was deciding the final layout, I bumped my layers and they went a little askew. That made me rethink the normal layout and this is what I ended up with. Sometimes you just go with the flow….what’s laying on your desk and the result of moving your layers. A happy ending as far as I am concerned!
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope to see you back on Monday morning. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend with family and friends. I will be remembering those who helped us to enjoy the freedoms we have.

I have a BRIGHT Happy Birthday card to share with you today. I have mixed New, Retiring, and Carrying Over products. I call that a super combination. And did I mention this card is BRIGHT ???
Around The Corner, 147464
This DSP is the Picture Perfect 6 X 6 DSP and it screams Party!! I paired it with the new Mango Melody Card Stock and Ink, as well as the always popular Lemon Lime Twist. Since there was a scrap of the DSP leftover, I used the Balloon Bouquet punch to make the balloons from the same DSP.
The best part of this card is the layering of the sentiment. I used the Stamparatus!!! It is so perfect for this stamp. I stamped both corners in Lemon Lime Twist and then layer the bolder “It’s Your Day” exactly where it was needed. I picked it up with the plate, inked it, and perfect layering. I Love, Love, Love that! Black might have shown through better, but I did not want black swirls on my bright card.
Thank you for visiting today! I really appreciate your checking my cards and I love to read your comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. And if you do not currently have a demonstrator I would love to help you with your stamping needs and send you one of the new catalogs!

This NEW stamp set, yes I am using a New set today!, is one of my favorite. I received it in my bag at the Atlanta OnStage in April and immediately new it was going to be a favorite. And I have paired it with the best ever Designer Series Paper, Share What You Love.
Animal Outing, 146600
I am not really sure which is cuter, the animals or the bright colors of polka dots on the paper. To keep the animals and DSP as the focus, I paired this with softer colors of Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron. I think this would be a greatly appreciated Thank You card. It would definitely receive a smile.

SUPPLIES: Sorry….there was no picture available of the Animal Outing stamp set.
I have another retiring products card. I cannot seem to stop and it is usually because of the Designer Series Paper. I hate to let some of this go. I chose this stamp set specifically because of the DSP. The background stamp mimics exactly the DSP I used from Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper. So here is one more play with the Hello Friend stamp set.
Hello Friend, 144059
Actually there is quite a bit of retiring product here. The stamps, DSP, and the Enamel Shapes are all waving goodbye. The base of the card is Thick Very Vanilla card stock. I used Tranquil Tide as the background layers and the Eastern Palace DSP for the focal point. The sentiment is stamped in New Blueberry Bushel Ink. It is a beauty!!
Here are the measurements I used for this card. I actually got the idea from looking at sketches on Pinterest. You never know where Ideas will come from!
Measurements:
Base is 4 1/4 X 11 scored at 5 1/2 folded, and burnished
Tranquil Tide is 4 X 5 1/4
DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
Small Tranquil Tide is 2 3/4 X 4
Small DSP is 2 5/8 X 7/8
Small Very Vanilla is 2 5/8 X 3
NOTE: or if you don’t mind using a little extra DSP…..Make the small DSP 2 5/8 X 3 7/8 and then simply lay the Very Vanilla directly on top of it at the top with the DSP only showing at the bottom. It does make the alignment and size much easier to deal with. This is what I actually did on my card since the DSP is retiring!!

I have married new and old products for today’s card. The stamp set is Beautiful You and I am thrilled that it carried over to the new catalog. I have paired it with the returning favorite Mint Macaron and a new color Grapefruit Grove. They are great together I believe.
Beautiful You, 143637
The other new items you might notice are the gorgeous ribbon. The 1/8″ ribbon is my favorite for depth on cards. It is “Just Enough” without overpowering. I also stamped on the Natures Poem Designer Series Paper with the lady and fussy cut it out. The stripes for her dress and the added stripe on the card front are one side, and the leafy print umbrella is the other side of the same paper. I know I have said it often , but I LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful double sided DSP!!
The ink behind the lady is Soft Sea Foam, another new color. I used the Clear Block “H” as the stamp. And the texture on the background layer is the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.
