Today I've got some more cards to share with you that I've prepared for the Farewell Stamp-a-Stack that I'm hosting on Wednesday. I'm featuring stamp sets and DSP that will be retiring effective May 31, 2012.
Baroque Motifs with Basic Black, Crumb Cake and Whisper White Cardstock. Ink: Basic Black and Marina Mist.
Plant Hope with Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake Cardstock.
That's my share for today. Come back tomorrow to see some more--better yet, come to my Farewell Stamp-a-Stack.
Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!
Todays card is another of my very own creations made with Everything Eleanor as well as NEW products: stamp set, In Colors - Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals, and of course, the new Classic Ink Pads! These will all be available on June 1, 2012.
I made this into an anniversary card but the sentiment stamp lends itself to celebrate the occasion you choose.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
My HandiCrafter team met this evening for a Potluck supper and then our usual monthly meeting. Here's the swaps that were shared this evening:
Nancy Grainger:
Lori Veres:
Laura-Lee Doucet:
Susan Bondville:
Julie Hewitt:
Eldonna Epp: Betsy's Blossems with the coordinating DSP, Floral District and new In Color card base, Gumball Green. Everyone got to make this card using the new and improved Classic Ink Pads. They were a HIT! All of these new products will be available in the new catalogue effective June 1, 2012.
There's only 4 days left to purchase any retiring stamp sets and accessories so check the list and place your order today. You can call, e-mail or place an online order.
Thanks for looking.
Welcome! This is another example of the Bleeding Image Technique made with the Berry Blossems DSP that will be retiring on May 31. Colors used are Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Early Expresso and Whisper White.
Although the format is similar so some other cards I've made, this one has it's own little twist and I love it!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week end!
Here's a slight variation of yesterday's card. I added pearls to the Gumball Green frame, used a larger flower and omitted the ribbon. Those NEW ink pads are absolutely amazing!!! Come to my next event and try them out for yourself. You lightly tap the pad with your stamp and get a beautiful crisp image. I LOVE it and I know you will too!
Tomorrow I'll have another Farewell Stamp-a-Stack sample to share with you. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
This stamp set will be available in new 2012-2013 catalogue effective June 1. Stampin' Up Demonstrators who attended Leadership in San Antonio, TX received this stamp set as a gift from Stampin' Up in January 2013. I'm loving this set, the new In Colors and I LOVE our new Classic Ink Pads! They are so easy to get a nice clear crisp image!
The inspiration for this card came from Patty Bennett although I made a few minor changes.
Don't you like these new colors? And the ribbon? I love it all and am looking forward to sharing so many new products with my stamping friends.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
As I announced earlier, I'm using stamps and products that will be retiring with the ending of the current catalogue for my Farewell Stamp-a-Stack that I'm having on Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Check my Upcoming Events for more details on this event and reserve your spot asap. Feel free to bring a friend!
I'm using the Wedding Sweet stamp set and the Morning Mocha DSP for today's cards. The sentiment can easily be changed to suit the occasion as you can see.
I changed the format of this card and added the Hearts Adorning Accents folder to give added dimension.
Hope you like these cards--they are simple but beautiful. The actual cards are considerably better than the photos.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
The card i've got to share with you today is made with two new stamp sets, Everything Eleanor and Memorable Moments, that will be available in the new 2012-2013 catalogue effective June 1. I also used a new In Color, Midnight Muse together with Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze.
Besides new stamps and cardstock, I also got to try out one of the NEW Classic Ink Pads. They are so nice and I can hardly wait to share them with all my stamping friends at my workshops and classes.
I'm pleased that this card is my very own design. Hope you like it. Thanks for visiting and come back soon to see more exciting new products and ideas or better yet, plan to come to a stamping event. Have a great day!
I've got some portrait gate-fold cards for you today. I used the Berries & Blossems DSP that will be retiring the end of this month. For the focal point, I stamped my sentiment directly on the DSP, punched it out with the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch and mounted it on a 2 1/2" Early Expresso circle. Using the Bleeding Image technique, I cut out the remainder of the flower and added it to the circle with a small amount of Tombow Adhesive. The Jumbo Pearl in the centre of the flower really helps to make this card pop.
Here's the inside of the card:
The base of the card is Calypso Coral (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). The Whisper White CS is 8" x 5 1/4" and scored at 2" and 6" to make your gate fold. Then you just decorate as desired.
Here's another, using a different piece of DSP from the same package. This paper was so beautiful, I didn't want to cover it up so instead, I added assorted pearls to some of the flowers. To complete this card , I added a small sentiment "thinking of you" stamped in Early Expresso and sponged the edges of the shortened Word Window with Calypso Coral.
When I craft, I sometimes surprize myself--the more I create, the more ideas I get. I'm very pleased with these cards and hope you've been inspired today.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
