Sneak Peek

This is one of my favorite new sets called "Varied Vases".  Here are two different cards from the set.  Love it!  You can get this and many more cute new things starting June 1--including the Stamparatus!

Lovely Floral

Here's another part of the early preorder bundle "Share What You Love".  I used the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder on Whisper White card stock.  I used Sponge Daubers and Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron, and So Saffron ink to color the flowers and leaves.  I added some new Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to finish the card.  See more cards from the bundle here. 

Work of Art

It is with deep regret that I announce the "Work of Art" set is retiring in just a few days.  This is one of my all time favorite sets.  Here it is in three different color ways.  First, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise (retiring color), and Basic Black.

Here's Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray ,,,

... Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, and Night of Navy.  

Blooms & Wishes

This adorable set "Blooms & Wishes" is retiring soon!  I used Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, and Early Espresso.  I mounted it on the Wood Textures DSP and added some linen thread.

Sunshine & Rainbows

This coordinating set and framelits is called "Sunshine & Rainbows".  I cut all all the rainbow pieces and clouds using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  Then I could just "peel and stick" them on.  I made the clouds from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Vellum card stock, and White White card stock.  Last, I added some Glitte & Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the raindrops.

Feather Together

This set called "Feather Together" is great to use for a more masculine looking card.  I stamped it in Basic Gray and then used my Lemon Lime Twist Ink Refill to mix with some Embossing Paste to create a colored texture.  I used one of the Pretty Pattern Decorative Masks with the Embossing Paste to create this textured background.  I'm pretty excited about the way it turned out.

Weather Together

This adorable set called "Weather Together" is retiring.  It is a 20-piece set with lots of words and different umbrella options.  It also has coordinating framelits.  I stamped it in Night of Navy on Watercolor Paper and then used an Aqua Painter and Emerald Envy ink (retiring) to color it.  I mounted it on Emerald Envy card stock, Vellum card stock, then on DSP from the Naturally Eclectic collection, and last on an Emerald Envy card base.  This could be used as a wedding, shower, anniversary, or even a Happy Mother's Day card.

Share What You Love

These cards were all made from the special preview bundle "Share What You Love Suite".  The supplies for this card including beautiful DSP,  velvet ribbon, pearlized doilies, stamp sets, floral embossing folder, artisan pearl, card stock, envelopes and some free items!   Also, Mint Macaron is coming back!  Please contact me if you would like to order one of these bundles early--they will not be available as a bundle (you save $$$) in the new catalog.

Flirty Flamingo

Flirty Flamingo was supposed to retire, but Stampin' Up! is bringing it back!  This card is from the versatile "Perennial Birthday" set.  I stamped the flowers in Flirty Flamingo and then used a Sponge Dauber with Pink Pirouette ink (retiring color) to fill them in.  I stamped the leaves in Bermuda Bay and colored them in with Pool Party.  The words are from "Daisy Delight" and I tied some Pool Party Baker's Twine around the little banner. 

Another Apron

I just love using this apron and matching framelits from the "Apron of Love" bundle.  I added a little doily to match the cute pocket.  The background was made with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder and I even used on the little oven mitt which says, "Thanks for being there in a pinch."

Four Squares

Here's a different take using another stamp from the "Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts" set.  I cut out four squares with the Stitched Shapes Framelits in Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Elegant Eggplant (retiring color).  Then, I stamped the plant stand and colored the images with the same colored markers.  Last, I added the words from the same set and some Daffodil Delight ribbon.

May Day

Did you ever celebrate May Day as a child and make a basket of flowers?  Here's my version using a Sale-a-Bration set that's really retired, but it's just too cute not to share.  Have a Happy May Day!
