Stampin' Up! On the Grow - "Key to my Scooter"

I have been wanting to create a Stampin' Up! greeting card using the Stampin' Up! On the Grow stamp set, so I finally found time to make one.  The card is a Center Step Card that features the upcoming Border Lace Ribbon Punch (item # 122362) that debuts with the Idea Book and Catalog on July 1.  I titled the card  "Key to my Scooter".  That is why a  Stampin' Up! Trinket Key is placed at the bottom of the card with Daffodil Delight Ribbon.

I used the Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils to color the scooter and the flowers in the bottom left corner.  I used the Stampin' Up! Brayer to create the remainder of the background, excluding the trees.  I used the upcoming Border Lace Ribbon Punch (item # 122362) to create the lace ribbon on both side of the center fold, cutting out a center lace piece and adding it over either the So Saffron or Wild Wasabi  Designer Series Papers (Patterns Stack - Subtles).  For the two flowers at the bottom of the card, I cut an outer and center piece of a portion of the lace and cut, folded, and glued them to made the flowers.  I think they are cute, don't you?

The following picture shows the inside of the card, which features the vase of flowers from the Stampin' Up! On the Grow stamp set.

 
When creating a card, I never plan a complete card before developing it.  I let my mind and hands do the creating as I go along.  I really like the way this one turned out.  What do you think?

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Land of the Free & Service and Sacrifice

I made this Stampin' Up! Greeting Card to thank my son-in-law for his outstanding military service. Today is the official effective date of his military, medical retirement.  My son-in-law was deployed three times, injured in Iraq, and incurred many "scars" as a result.  I am very grateful for the sacrifices he made for my freedom!

Our family is so blessed to have him home and away from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) where his treatment was such that no soldier should have to endure.  If a soldier is placed in the WRAMC's Wounded Warrior Brigade (WWB) and not missing a limb, he/she is considered worthless and treated accordingly.  Unfortunately, this is his story as it is for so many other WRAMC WWB soldiers!  Praise God for this day and for bringing him home and away from horrible experiences. Now it's time for his healing!  Prayers for him would be greatly appreciated!

I made this card, which is a hybrid, with Pacific Point, Whisper White, and Real Red Card Stock. The top sentiment is the Land of the Free Stamp in the Summer Mini Catalog.  The corners of the card stock were punched with a non-SU punch.  The frame at the bottom is from My Digital Studio, Framed with Love, and it is embellished with Gold Brads.  The sentiment in the frame is from the Service and Sacrifice Stamp Set.  I used the Stampin' Up! Biz XL Tasteful Trim Die to make the blue and white "strips" that go down the card front.

I made my flag pole with Brushed Gold Card Stock and the Jewelry Tag Punch. Did you know you could create a LONG Jewelry Tag with the punch?  Finally, I used floss for my cord on the pole.

God's Blessings!

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Peace Within

For a while now I have wanted to make a Stampin' Up! greeting card using the Stampin' Up! Peace Within stamp set.  I finally found the time to create one.  I hope you enjoy it. 

For the background of the card, I used a Brayer to create the field, sky, and sun.  The background is perfect for the peaceful cat and his favorite chair.

The card stock and designer series paper used for the greeting card are the Stampin' Up! Baja Breeze, Regals Collection DSP, and Pawsititively Prints II DSP.   The photo corners were created with the new Stampin Up Postage Stamp Punch.  Enjoy!

God's Blessings!

Greeting Card - Stampin' Up! Paisley Petals

My greeting card share today is one matching the Stampin' Up! Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) purse that I shared earlier this week.  By the way, you can order the Paisley Petals DSP HERE beginning TODAY!!  You will love it; I promise!

This "Best Wishes" greeting card was made with Stampin' Up! Baja Breeze Card Stock, Baja Breeze DSP (when I made this card and the Paisley Petals DSP purse, I thought this DSP was still available -  my apologies), and River Rock Card Stock. Half of the top card layer is the River Rock Card Stock that is embellished with the Stampin' Up! Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder.  The other half is the unavailable Baja Breeze DSP.  The center piece was made with a 2-3/4" square of Baja Breeze Card Stock and a 2-1/2" piece of the Paisley Petals DSP.  It is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals and embellished with Basic Pearls Jewel Accents, Baja Breeze Stampin' Glitter, and a Baja Breeze Vintage Flower.  The Baja Breeze and River Rock decorative label (made with the Stampin' Up Decorative Label Punch) features the "Best Wishes" stamp from the Silhouette Sentiments Stamp Set. 


The inside of the card was made with River Rock Card Stock and stamped with the floral stamp from the Silhouette Sentiments Stamp Set. 

I hope you enjoy the card.  Your feedback is appreciated.

Buy the Paisley Petals DSP; you won't regret it!

GREETING CARD IDEA - STAMPIN UP PAISLEY PETALS

My greeting card idea for today focuses on the beautiful, beautiful Stampin Up Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) that becomes available April 1 through April 30, 2011.  I am excited that this DSP will be in the upcoming 2011-2012 Stampin Up Idea Book and Catalog and therefore be available for a year!  Purchase the DSP in April; I promise you won't be disappointed.

This greeting card features various papers of the Paisley Petals DSP.  I thought last summer's Stampin Up Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack was tops, but after seeing and working with the Paisley Petals, I completely changed my mind.  I am so in love with this paper.  Here's my first share that features Paisley Petals.

To emphasize the beautiful light blue DSP, I used Stampin Up Glitter, Fine Cosmo, Light Blue around the border of the Framed Tulips  embossing on the card front.  I also used the glitter on the inside of the card in the debossed tulips.  The "for you" sentiment on the card front is from the Stampin Up Elements of Style stamp set, and is built up with Stampin Up Dimensionals. 

To enhance the flower on the top card layer, I cut an additional, identical flower, applied Crystal Effects, and adhered it over the orignial flower with Dimensionals.  Also used on the card front is the Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon and Brads from the Subtles Collection.  The primary card stock for this greeting card is Tangerine Tango, and for the inside it is River Rock.

Greeting Card Idea

Today, I am honored to feature a guest designer, Michelle, who made this card with Stampin Up products!  Michelle is my customer and I asked her to make a card so I could feature her on my blog.  I was pleased with her creativity that is shown in the development of the flower.  The card is bright and cheerful, don't you think?  She would love to have you comment on her card, so please leave a note.  Thank you!  

God's Blessings!

Birthday Card Idea - Loads of Love

Need a birthday card idea for a male?  What about using the Stampin Up stamp set, Loads of Love, along with Loads of Love Accessories, and the Tailgating Wheel?  I love these products, just as so many others do.  This set has been around for several years, and I hope Stampin Up continues to include it in its catalog.

I made this birthday card for my son-in-law.  He has a very unique way with animals, so I thought the Loads of Love stamp set and the accessories were perfect for his birthday card.  

I think the card is so "stinking" cute!  I had a lot of fun making it.  The card features the stamping technique, water coloring. 

Water coloring and brayering are so much fun!  If you've steered away from these techniques, you are missing out on a lot of fun.  They are real art!

Other Stampin Up products used are: Lovely as a Tree stamp set (appropriately named); Watercolor Paper; Whisper White, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Rich Razzleberry, and Pear Pizzazz card stock and various inks; Moonlight (for the headlight and windshield) and Silver Fox Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink (for the hubcaps and bumper of the truck); Round Tab Punch; and the Aqua Painter.

Buy these products on line.  Move your cursor over the blue links and you'll be taken directly to the products.

Come back to see beautiful paper crafts using the Spring is Blossoming, Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper that becomes available on April 1.

Blessings!

SUNNY GARDEN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER - HOSTESS GIFT BOX

HOSTESS APPRECIATION

I work diligently to let my workshop hostesses know how much I appreciate them.  The following pictures are of a hostess gift box that I created for my last workshop hostess.  I love the Stampin' Up! Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper as it's so bright and cheerful.  I have been wanting to use the paper for something special; therefore, I used it in creating the hostess box. 

 

 

As you can see, I inserted an abundance of different ribbon in the box.

  God's Blessings!
