Summer Smooches Digital Designer Series Paper, Thank You!

Stampin' Up! is blessing us during the month of April with an opportunity to purchase "Summer Smooches" products that will be available in the new 2012-2013 Catalog that debuts in June. That means you don't have to wait until June to get these products, you can purchase them between April 1 and April 30.  So mark your calendar on April 1 for the availability of "Summer Smooches"! 

My card share is a digital card that I made with the Digital Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, and I think it is so cute.  This is just one example of the beautiful paper, brads, fabrics, and more in this product line.

Again, mark your calendar for April 1 when you can begin purchasing these products!

Beautiful Wings, Paisley Petals, and With All My Heart

Who doesn't love butterflies and the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit?  I see no hands raised (lol).  Well, I love this embosslit and I purposely plant butterfly plants and bushes in my garden so I can enjoy the butterflies and their remarkable beauty.  Today's card share is all about butterflies.  The Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit did all the work for me.  I hope this embosslit never goes away!  

Other Stampin' Up! supplies used is the absolutely gorgeous Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP).  What a popular DSP!  The With All My Heart Stamp Set is featured on the card with the floral stamp image and the greeting.  I covered the stamped floral layer with Stampin' Up! Paper Vellum to tone it down, and I think it worked beautifully.  The second picture is a different angle of the card so you can see the dimensions.  Enjoy!

Large Doily Sizzlit and Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set

What about a break from Stampin' Up! Christmas Cards?  I have a cute one for you that features beautiful Stampin' Up! products in Stampin' Up!'s 2012 Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalogs!  Wait until you see and feel these products!

This greeting card spotlights three upcoming products:  Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (item #126154 (SAB), Large Paper Doily Sizzlits Die (item #125592) (Occasions), and Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set (item #125487) (Occasions).

SAB is the best time of the year to purchase Stampin' Up! products as you can get a FREE product with each $50 purchase.  SAB begins on January 24, 2012.  And, you only have 22 more days until the debut of the Occasions catalog!

Now, back to the card.  The card base is made with the beautiful Pool Party Card Stock, and it features a kitchen scene with a table, lamp, and bowl.  The table, which I drew, is covered with a Poppy Parade table cloth made with the upcoming Large Doily Sizzlits Die (I purposely left in some of the "cut outs").  The lamp's body actually is a corset that is a stamp image from the upcoming Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set.  I used the Ornament and Pinking Hearts Border Punches to create the lamp shade.  I think it's so cute!  Did you notice the wall paper and chair rail?  Well, the wall paper is from the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, which you can get free if you buy Stampin' Up! products totalling $50 (excludes taxes and shipping) during SAB.  The "chair rail" was made with Poppy Parade Card Stock.

The sentiment, "Thanks for your support" is also from the Rue Des Fleurs stamp set.  Do you get it?  Corset and Support!  I think this stamp set is so cute and it's one you'll want to buy to add to your Stampin' Up! collection.  I hope you enjoy the card.

THANK YOU!

Today's card share has a special meaning to me because any military-related art that I create causes me to get quite teary-eyed.  My son-in-law is on active duty with the Army, and he is currently stationed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in the Wounded Warrior Brigade.  Also at WRAMC is a particular soldier and his active-duty wife who have really looked out for my son-in-law and daughter.  We learned recently that the soldier is leaving that area and will most likely be deployed to Afghanistan.  God bless them all!

 
My son-in-law requested that I create a "Thank You" card that he could give to the soldier and his wife before their departure.  My son-in-law wants to let them know just how grateful he and my daughter are for their abundant kindness.  Thus, this is the card I created.

Because the card is for a male and female, I tried to make it gender-neutral.

Thinking about being grateful for the kindness of others, I thought that, although it is unavailable now, the Day of Gratitude stamp set would work well for the purpose of this card.  Additionally, since the U.S. military uses medallions for various purposes, I thought that the medallion stamp seemed very appropriate.  The "Thank You" sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! Curly Cute stamp set.  The sentiment was created using the Modern Label Punch, Modern Label Punch Window, Night of Navy Marker, and Crystal Effects.

Besides the medallion, the center of the card was created using the Stampin' Up! 2-1/2" Circle Punch (bottom layer) and the 3" Circle (middle layer) and 3-1/2" Circle Dies (top layer).

Night of Navy card stock was used for the card base.  The top three layers were made using Tempting Turquoise card stock and the Regals (Night of Navy) and Subtles (Wild Wasabi) Collections Designer Series Paper.  The lovely Brights Glimmer Brads (Old Olive) were used for embellishment.  Enjoy and come back!

God's Blessings!

SWEET SUMMER #3

Here's a third card made with the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Summer Sweet stamp set.  Three stamps from the Sweet Summer set are featured - the bee, flower, and floral stem.  The ribbon that is in the center of the Cherry Cobbler Ribbon Seam Binding is from the Sale-a-bration Ribbon & Button Pack.  During Sale-a-bration, the ribbon (and matching buttons) is FREE for a $50 purchase, and the Sweet Summer stamp set is also FREE for a $50 purchase.  This means if you spend $100 for Stampin' Up! purchases, you can get both items FREE! How can you pass up such a deal?

This card was made with Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, and Rose Red card stock and/or ink.  One of my favorite embossing folders, the Square Lattice, enhances the Whisper White card stock.
