Sneak Peek- Tropical Chic

Here's a sneak peek at one of the sets we will be using at my Card Class next week. The stamp set is called Tropical Chic and has coordinating thinlets dies that can be purchased as a bundle for a 10% discount. We will be making a card very similar to this one.

I adore this tropical, breezy and beautiful stamp set. I used blushing bride, flirty flamingo and soft seafoam inks, as well as soft seafoam cardstock.

There is a 3x3 square of the coordinating, Tropical Escape designer paper behind the leaf cut-out, which was also cut at 3x3 before die cutting. This is a very subtle pattern, however, the designer paper has so many gorgeous tropical images, that you'll love every one of them!

I inked the flower with blushing bride ink and used a sponge dauber dipped in flirty flamingo to dab the middle of the flower, before I stamped it.

I added a sequin to the flower using liquid multi-purpose glue. I pick up my sequins with a toothpick, dot the glue on the card and drop the sequin unto the glue.

I like to stamp the inside as well- this leaf looks so pretty stamped in the same soft seafoam color as the cardstock.

The twine is the new Silver and Petal Pink bakers twine. It matches this card perfectly. I used a strip of tear tape to hold the twine in place on the card.

The soft colors and flowy nature of this card almost make me feel like I'm enjoying an tropical breeze right here in Pennsylvania!

The more, the merrier!

I hope you'll check out this bundle, below- its definitely a favorite of mine and I know you'll love it too!

Until the next time...

There's Always Hope...

Its time for another Layering Alphabet card. I truly enjoy this stamp set and framelits bundle more and more each time I use it. You already know that this is my absolute favorite bundle in the new catalog and for good reason. Its so unique and so versitile!

I decided on the word hope, for this card. This brings back all the memories of pink cards of hope that I received a few years ago when I was sick and struggling.

I wanted to used many bright, happy shades of pink on this card as well as the beautiful Stitched Label Framelits- the heart to be specific. Love that cute little thing!

The colors I used are blushing bride, flirty flamingo, melon mambo and lovely lipstick. I also used some double sided Tear Tape to attach the pink metallic ribbon. I thought the ribbon was fitting, for a card like this.

All the colors of cardstock were cut at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 before die cutting. The whisper white card is the same size as well.

You don't have to be concerned about wasting the remainder of the cardstock, because it can always be used to make another card! This is the cardstock "negative" pieces that were left - and this is the extra card that I made with them.

Oh my goodness... I loved being able to add a stitched heart in the middle of the "0". Plus, I added a strip of the gorgeous Garden Impressions designer series paper to the bottom of the card. (1 1/4") * Check out the designers series paper promotion going on this month. I have the special posted below.

It makes me so happy that I can create two cards from one die cut letter.

I added a piece of lovely lipstick ribbon that I wrapped around the entire card and tied in a knot. The hearts are popped on with mini dimensionals. So sweet!

I think this card would definitely cheer up anyone who really needs it.

Here they are- both made with the same pieces of 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 cardstock colors. I "hope" you like these sweet cards and "hope" you'll jump on the Layering and Lined Alphabet bandwagon someday soon. You won't regret it!

I have posted a Stampin Up video below, with instructions on using this bundle. It really is fairly simple and you'll catch on super quick, I promise!

Thanks for checking in!

Until the next time...

Lined Alphabet - Thanks Friend

As you know, I'm obsessed with this Lined Alphabet set and coordinating Layering Alphabet dies. And for good reason! Its amazing, fun to create with and so incredibly unique!

I went for rainbow colors this time and created a special card for a friend.

The card is the standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" and each piece of cardstock is cut the same size as well.

The colors are real red, mango melody, pineapple punch, granny apple green, pacific point, and glorious grape. I used the Stitched Label framelits for the little granny apple green heart, because those stitched hearts are just the cutest!

The sentiment comes from the Varied Vases stamp set.  I just love the font in that set- its so fun- just like this card!

I used the Lined Alphabet stamps to stamp over the letters in the same colors as the cardstock for a tone on tone look.

I finished it off with a tiny rhinestone jewel placed in the middle of the stitched heart. It just gives it that little bit of sparkle at the end of the rainbow.

I can't say enough about this amazing bundle. I have a sweet baby card and more fun cards to share with this set, coming soon!

Thanks friend, for stopping by today.

Until the next time...

Layering Alphabet in "Pinks"- Yay!

Pink is my absolute most favorite color, so I wanted to design a card made with the Layering Alphabet dies in various shades of pink.

I decided on a birthday card with the word "yay!" I had a lot of fun designing this card. It not only uses my favorite color, but it also has ribbons and sparkle too!

The colors that I used on this card are lovely lipstick, melon mambo, flirty flamingo and petal pink, inks and cardstock. I also used basic black and whisper white cardstocks.

I love how it turned out!

I cut each color of cardstock to a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece and then cut out the letters. I attached it to a basic black card measuring the same. To attach the Iridescent Sequins, I just dotted liquid multi purpose glue in the spots that I wanted to place the sequins. I then placed the sequins on top of the dollop of glue.

The black satin ribbon is tied around the entire card, with a little white bakers twine bow tied on top and attached with a glue dot. I also used the mini black sequin trim to add some extra glimmer to the card.

You'll notice that the word "celebrate" is stamped on a cute little label. I die cut this with one of the dies in the new Stitched Label framelits set. The word, celebrate is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

And there you have it! Another fabulous greeting card, made with the Lined Alphabet stamp set and Layering Alphabet framelit bundle.

Be sure to check out the Layering Alphabet "how to" video, below.

Layering Alphabet - You had me at "hello"

I've been eager to share another of my Layering Alphabet / Lined Alphabet cards with you. This one is sort of a copy of the one in the Stampin Up catalog. I did make a few tweaks to give it my own spin.

I love the colors on this card. I used Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, and Pineapple Punch.

I stamped the tone on tone flowers in the background with the Varied Vases and Pick a Pennant stamp sets. The adorable hearts are cut with my new favorite framelits, The Stitched Label framelits.

I used the Lemon Lime Twist ombre ribbon on this one and the one below, I used the new Pineapple Punch grosgrain ribbon. I can't decide which I like better...

The words, Friend and You are from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

This is a close up of those adorable little stitched hearts.

Here's a look at both cards, side by side.

I also used the "negative" pieces that I had left over after I cut out the letters for the cards above and made this card from the left over pieces.

 I'm telling you, I can not put this set down. In my 20 years as a Stampin Up demonstrator this bundle (Lined Alphabet stamps and Layering Alphabet framelits)  is at the top of my list as one of my all time favorites!

Here's a look at all 3 cards.

 

I've posted a link below of the Stampin Up You Tube video that explains how to use this bundle. Its easier than you think! Have a look by clicking on the link below.

Picture Perfect Birthday- Stampin Up

I'm sharing a super sweet birthday card with you today. I got this idea from Janice Weightman, in a swap that we did together.

I loved the colors and the simplicity of this card. It was a snap to put together, especially with the beautiful Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and gorgeous Picture Perfect Party designer paper. You seriously need to check out this paper in the Occasions Catalog or the product list that I posted below. It is amazing!

This is the coolest birthday verse ever... Cue the Confetti- I love it! I also love all the vibrant colors. I used lemon lime twist, peek a boo peach, pool party, so saffron and berry burst inks and cardstocks. The lemon lime twist banner was punched with the Triple Banner Punch to create the tail on the banner, which I placed side-ways on the card.

 

I added a few rhinestone gems to the candle flames for shine and sparkle. I love how easy, but so cute, this card is. I could whip up dozens of these in no time at all!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Until the next time...
