You’ve Got This 2

For the second card using the You’ve Got This stamp set, I used almost the same products plus some DSP.  I added the Delightful Daisy DSP, another favorite.  It works perfectly with both the Peekaboo Peach, and Night of Navy (yesterday was Dapper Denim).

 

You’ve Got This, 139575

 

When I use DSP, I like to put a layer between it and the base layer.  I don’t want it to fade into the base.  Instead of Dapper Denim, I went with Night of Navy due to the little pieces of it in the floral DSP.  Other than that, I used the same inks and ribbon.  I left off the glitter dots from yesterday.  I think the bow is more than enough for the decoration.  As I said yesterday, this ribbon is a dream to work with.  My bling for this card is that I went over the entire flower with Clear Wink of Stella.  In person it adds quite a bit of shimmer.

I hope you like today’s card.  It has more layers and a bit different layout.  I hope I have I have given you pause in considering some of these retiring items.  Please place your orders soon to insure that you get the items you want.  You can click on any of the items and be taken directly to my online store, or click on the Shop button at the top of the page.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Tomorrow I will be showcasing a different stamp set.  So please check it out.

Birthday Wishes

I made this card with the stamp set Varied Vases, which commemorates Mary Fish’s Million Dollars sales!  And I have to say that it is the best ever two step stamp set.  The pieces line up perfectly!  I am in love.  As if that isn’t enough….there is a matching punch.  Woohoo!!  I love punches.  The card is a asymmetrical in its layout, but I think it works.

 

 

Varied Vases Bundle, 148381

 

 

The background DSP is a super new one for the New Annual Catalog.  As is the stamp set and punch for that matter.  This is definitely a perk of being a demonstrator.  We get to order and play with new catalog products ahead of everyone else.  Anyway, back to the DSP.  It is Tranquil Textures DSP and is part of a Suite.  (Note:  It is not listed in the supply list.  Apparently it has not been added to the resource I use for my links. ) All I ordered to start with was the paper because I thought it was beautiful.  And trust me…..it is beautiful.

I know the Powder Pink layers are unexpected but I was looking for something to tie in with the flowers and vase choices I chose.  I am thrilled with how well it pairs together.  I love the unexpected fit.  I used a variety of colors and instead of listing them a couple of times, you can see it all in the supply list at the bottom of the page.

Other than deciding on the multiple colors, this was an easy card to put together.  Now I want to do another with more of a monochromatic look.

Thank you for checking in today.  I hope you liked this card and will return on Monday to see what I have for you.  Please remember that the Retiring Items are While Supplies Last on the ink, paper, DSP, etc.  So don’t wait if you have a color that you simply love.

From The Heart

You should have seen today’s card on Friday.  I had some technical difficulties…….called “scheduling for the wrong day”!  Duh.  By the time I realized it had not posted, it was Friday afternoon.  When I discovered it was set for Saturday instead of Friday, I just changed it to Monday.  Sorry about that.  I’ll blame it on being retired and not knowing what the actual date is!!  So here is the delayed card.  A quick and easy one that is great for leftover DSP.

 

Petal Palette Bundle, 145974

 

 

I love simple and this is definitely a simple card.  Although you could step it up with some texture on the heart or the white background.  Probably my favorite part of the card is the banner from the DSP.  It is from the Bubbles and Fizz DSP from Sale-A-Bration.  I hate that I did not notice it before SAB was over.  But I found a strip laying on my cutting table and decided it was perfect for the card.

A simple background color change to anything with matching DSP and you have an entirely new card.  That is why I love posting here for you to check out my ideas.  Just use what you have laying around and it will be wonderful!

Thank you for visiting today!  I very much appreciate you checking my posts and your sweet comments.  The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Masculine Any Occasions Card

Sometimes it is hard to find just the right feel for a more masculine card of any kind.  The True Gentleman Suite in the Occasions Catalog is just perfect.  It is great colors, some fun, and some classic DSP, and great sentiments.  It is a winner all around.  So here is my card.

 

Truly Tailored Bundle, 147752

 

I love the fun designs of the DSP in this suite of products.  I am not usually into buttons, but for this I believe it really works.  And that corduroy ribbon is awesome!  It is soft and easy to work with.  Plus it adds great texture to the card.

The DSP is where my color choices came from.  The base of the card is Tranquil Tide with a narrow border of Chocolate Chip ( which is retiring).  The cute sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla in Dapper Denim ink.  I used the Tailored Tag Punch for the sentiment.  To get the background for the tag, I adhered the punch layer to the Tranquil Tide and just paper snipped the straight edges.  It was very simple and easy to do.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Do not forget to go over the retiring lists I have added below.  And if you do not have a demonstrator , I would love to send you the new catalog when it is available and help you to make your wish list.  Also, demonstrators get to purchase ahead of everyone else!!  So if you have ever considered joining, this would be a great time.  And I would love to have you on my team.  Contact me and let’s talk about it !!

Birthday Wit

The card I have for you today is quick and easy, but super cute and funny.  I needed a quick card for my Stamp Club on Sunday since I was preparing for Brian King’s Spring Event and the Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event for the last week or two.  Actually I needed to have all three cards ready to go so I could unload the car and go again on Sunday.  But cute, quick , and easy are what I always try to do.  So enough of the babble, here is one of the cards we made at Club.

 

Birthday Wit, 145753

 

I adore this sentiment, and the matching inside sentiment is just as good.  Although I forgot to photograph that. It says “Nothing Says Happy Birthday Like A Piece of Paper Folded In Half”!  I love that !

Do you remember when we were kids?  Assuming you are anywhere close to my age…….  And Blue and Green were never placed together on anything.  Now I say that was so dumb!  Because I love these colors together.  They really pop!  The best part of this DSP is that it is another unexpected find.  It is the “back” of the Pick A Pattern DSP that has the animals and trees on it.  I cannot believe I never noticed it before!  I believe this package of DSP is one of the best ever.

Thank you for visiting today!  I will be sharing the other two Club cards  this week as well.

Pick A Friend

I am sharing with you today the card that I made for a card swap with other demonstrators over the weekend.  I received a similar card several years ago in a different swap and have used variations of it several times.  I love it and I hope you will see the versatility of it as well.

 

Beautiful Bouquet, 143666

 

 

This stamp set has such gorgeous and sweet sentiments.  The entire stamp set is wonderful, from the different fonts of the sentiments, the variety of flowers, and of course…..the matching framelits!  It is definitely a keeper.  The sentiment I used here is my favorite though.  Who would not feel extra special receiving a card with that sweet thought on the front.

I went a little over my norm in terms of the amount of layers and embellishments.  The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder.  It is a great folder in that the impression is great on either side.  The splatter on the Wild Wasabi layer is from Touches of Texture stamp set.  I used it again beneath the flowers on the top layer.  The edge of the white layer is the Ticket Tear Border Punch.  This is an awesome punch that I need to use more often.  The ribbon is from the Occasions Catalog and is the Whisper White Organza Ribbon.  And of course the elegant pearls at the bottom just finish it off.

Since this is a CASE card, I would love to see a CASE that you do of my card!  I think that would be so fun.  If you will send them to me, I will add them to a post.

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a good week ahead.  The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the page.
