Stampin' Up! Triple Treat Flower and Spice Cake DSP

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday!  This Stampin' Up! Greeting Card is so simple and yet beautiful.  The Designer Series Paper (DSP) used for the card is the Spice Cake DSP that has such beautiful designs.  This card features the Pool Party and Soft Suede design, which are the colors of cardstock used. 

Also featured is the Triple Treat Flower stamp (page 18 of the large catalog) that matches certain designs of the Spice Cake DSP.  The Fancy Flower Punch is a perfect match for punching out the flower once it is stamped on cardstock.  The center of this flower is embellished with Stampin' Up!'s Basic Pearls.  The pearls add such a nice touch to any card.

The "Grateful" greeting is from the Always Thankful Stamp Set on page 19 of the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog.  The wonderful Decorative Label Punch was used to punch out the greeting as well as to create a mat for it. 

Going down the center of the card is a punched ribbon from the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.  I need to use that punch more often as it is a cool embellishment.  The corners of the cardstock and DSP were punched with the Ticket Corner punch.

Gee, I used four different Stampin' Up! punches on this card.  What is your favorite Stampin' Up! punch?  Whoever is the first to guess which punch (not necessarily used on this card) is my favorite will receive this card in the mail! 

I hope you have a blessed day, and enjoy making Stampin' Up! Greeting Cards.

Stampin' Up! Get Well Greeting Card

Hello, friends, and thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a good day.  My card share discussion will be brief today as I am (and have been) dealing with a sinus infection.  If you've had one, you know they can make you feel like you have the flu.  Regardless, my card share is a Stampin' Up! Get Well Greeting Card (isn't this quite appropriate with the way I'm feeling (lol).  No, the card is not for myself. 

As life would have it, there are times when we need a Stampin' Up! Get Well card for a special friend, loved one, or an acquaintance.  This Stampin' Up "Get Well" card will fit that need.

The Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so bright and colorful, and it's a great DSP to develop a get well card!  The colors will certainly lift one's spirits.  And the apples; aren't they so cute and so perfect for this card?  "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" (lol).  The apples are from the same DSP. 

Because I believe that this card is easy to duplicate, I will share only the supplies:   

Cardstock:  Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White

Ink:  Calypso Coral

Stamp:  Perfectly Penned

Accessories:  Basic Pearls, Decorative Label Punch, Old Olive Scallop Dots Ribbon, and Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder

Do You Remember the Stampin' Up! Strength and Hope Campaign?

Recall from May 1 to August 31, 2011, Stampin' Up! held a campaign to partner with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to raise funds for research.  Stampin' Up!'s campaign was started through the introduction of the Strength and Hope stamp set.  During this campaign, Stampin' Up! contributed $2.00 to the BCRF for EACH stamp set sold!  

I am so happy to share with you that Stampin' Up! contributed $60,000 to BCRF!  I am so proud of each and every one of you who purchased this stamp set and helped in the efforts to stamp out breast cancer.  

As you know, this is a subject very close to my heart, and if I could, I would give all of you a BIG HUG!  Again, THANK YOU!

God's Blessings!

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Christmas Lodge

Today's post is my first Stampin' Up! Christmas Card for this year.   It features the Stampin' Up! Christmas Lodge Stamp Brush Set, Digital Download for My Digital Studio (MDS).  I wanted a bigger lodge than the physical stamp image would provide, so once again, MDS to the rescue!  I enlarged the lodge, changed its color to Garden Green, and printed it onto Whisper White Cardstock.  The lodge was embellished with Dazzling Details, Mica Flakes, and Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.  It is matted with Green Garden and Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.
I included on two corners the lovely Holly and Berries from the Stampin' Up! Winter Wishes Stitched Felt collection.  Aren't they cute?  I love it when Stampin' Up! comes out with felt embellishments!

The "Merry Christmas" greeting is also from the Christmas Lodge Stamp Brush Set Digital Download.  I resized it as well, changed the color to Marina Mist, and matted it with Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.  It is embellished with Real Red Glimmer Brads.

The first layer of the card is a design from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, which I think has lovely designs for Christmas projects.

I hope if you have doubts regarding purchasing My Digital Studio, that you can see from this and yesterday's posts that it is worthwhile and provides much flexibility in crafting.

Tell me what you would do to improve this card?  All comments are welcome!  If you prefer to comment off-line, email me.

God's Blessings!
