How about a Wedding Card with the First Frost Bundle...

Taking a break from Christmas Cards for a little bit and designing a pretty wedding card- (or anniversary, shower or birthday) instead.

I used the First Frost stamp set and thinlets. I love the colors on this card. So soft and pretty however, the colors somehow look like it could still be a wintery December wedding card.

I used soft seafoam, granny apple green, mossy meadow, lovely lipstick, powder pink and flirty flamingo inks and cardstock colors.

The "Subtle Emboss Folder" gives the background a beautiful linen look.

Don't forget the inside...

A few Basic Sequins and Pearl Jewels and the card is ready to give to that special couple!

I hope you enjoyed a little break from all the Christmas themed cards for a minute. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Until the next time...

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!

Gifts with "Nothing Sweeter" stamp set

I made some fancy gift packaging for some special team members that attended the Stampin Up "On Stage" Convention with me this week. I made one for each of my directs.

I used the Nothing Sweeter stamp set and dies. I also used the Shimmery White Embossing Paste with glitter to spread on the Christmas Trees.

I formed the box,  by cutting one of the Stampin Up Acetate Card boxes- while it was flat. I cut it about 3 1/4" down from the top and then slipped the top lid over the bottom to the size of box that I wanted.

I used lots of layers. The Stitched Labels framelits was used to cut the Sparkle Glimmer Paper, then layered with powder pink and sahara sand cardstock.

I also used some Rose Thread and the new Iridescent Boxwood Wreaths wrapped around the tree image.

I filled the boxes with some Stampin Up bling and a few treats as well as a gift card.

I love all the sparkle. It makes it so special, just like the girls who received them.

I have to say there were lots of dimensionals used on this project!

My favorite color is pink... I hope they like it too!

I can't wait to celebrate with my team! Hope they enjoy the goody box!

Thanks for visiting today.

Until the next time...

Beautiful Baubles

I so much enjoy creating with this set. So many possibilites with all the different stamps and dies in this Beautiful Baubles bundle.

I went with the merry merlot and copper color theme for this card. This was the bonus card at my recent Card Class.

I used very vanilla cardstock to stamp on to give it a softer glow.

The copper embossing powder and copper foil paper give this card that extra shine.

How about that gorgeous new Merry Merlot/Copper ribbon? Lovvvveee it!

A peek inside...

These colors together are truly magnificient!

I'm glad you visited today.

Stampin' Up! Country Home stamp set in Pastel Colors

I was playing around with my Country Home stamp set and decided to try some softer pastels colors to create a card today.

I used my Stampin Blends alcohol markers to color the image. I'll list the colors below under "product list."

The Tin Tile emboss folder was used for the background. I used soft seafoam cardstock and a soft seafoam ink pad to swipe across the embossed image. I wanted it kind of splotchy.

Here's a close up. I added pearls and sequins for a bit of shimmer, as well as the Chicken Wire element behind the main image.

Here's a peek at the inside.

I love the ease of coloring with the Stampin Blends alcohol markers. It makes creating so much fun.

If you haven't decided on this set yet, I say, YES! Take the plunge and get those markers out and start coloring.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Until the next time...

First Frost Never Disappoints

Sharing one of my favorite flower sets today. First Frost is available in the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog 2018.

I used the blackberry bliss ink for the flower image. It looks so pretty in this deep purple color. The coordinating Frosted Bouqet framelits and Frosted Floral designer paper make this the ultimate suite.

I also used tranquil tide, and mossy meadow colors for the greens.

To complete the look, I did some fun splattering by dipping my aqua painter into blackberry bliss ink and tapping it over my card.

A few pearls and gems to add dimension and sparkle and viola!

I hope you enjoyed todays card.

How to: Unique Fold- Cauldron Bubble Bundle

One last cute Trick or Treat card before Halloween arrives, using the Cauldron Bubble Bundle. I've used this unique card fold a few times lately and we also did this card at my Card Class recently.

For instructions and measurements, see my previous blog post here.

For the most part there isn't much stamping on this card. The images all come from the Toil and Trouble designer series paper. The cat was die cut with the coordinating framelits.

Its hard to tell from the photo, but the bats were punched out with the Spooky Bat punch from a piece of the new Black Foil sheets. They are slick and shiny!

I used the new Buffalo Plaid background stamp, inked in mango melody ink and stamped on mango melody cardstock for the inside of the card.

The New Swirls and Curls emboss folder was used on the bottom of the card. I used pumpkin pie cardstock and then rubbed a cajun craze inkpad across the swirls. I love the cool look and it really defines the swirls.

Here's a peek at the inside:

The bright colors of halloween are so fun to use... it really makes this card pop!

I've attached the gorgeous new Black Glitter Ribbon with a mini glue dot. This ribbon is not just for halloween. I've been using it on everything- Christmas cards included!

I hope you're getting your halloween cards ready- trick or treat will be here before you know it!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Until the next time...
