New Stampin Up Products!

I couldnt wait for Mr Brown to come to my door yesterday!!! He brought my first order from the new Stampin Up Catalogue!!!

I made this card using three of my most favorites out of it!

I used the Watercolor Wings stamp set (photopolmer yeah!!!), Bold Butterfly Framelits (Yeah!), remember I had to fussy cut  my last butterflies because they werent available yet!

Also the papers I just couldnt wait to get my hands on English Garden Designer Series Papers.

Also I used the Banner Triple Punch for the tag.

Can you tell I was really excited about these products???

So if you will be coming to stamp club this month you will be getting one of these cards in the mail in the next couple of days!!!

I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Sunday  for my card today!

Happy Stamping!

Purple Rose Set!

I made these two projects for two different challenges on Gina K Designs. One is a project for the STV15MON22 weekly challenge.

The card is for the Fun Friday challenge which was a sketch for the  STVFFKC10 challenge. I flipped the sketch sideways and used a martha stewart punch to look like a trellis. I wanted the roses to look like they were climbing it.

The gift bag I stamped the tissue paper. I probably wont be doing that again. No matter how hard I tried I kept getting ink on the acrylic block and then onto the tissue paper. Plus it is time consuming so I only did opposite corners.

I love this set! It is very fun and of course it doesnt hurt that it is one of my two favorite flowers.

Happy Stamping!

Mojo Monday 400 Celebration!

Today my card was made using the sketch from MoJo Monday sketch . They are having a celebration for their 400th sketch. Wow, thats alot!!! They are adding two people to their design team so they are having a contest looking for designers. Wow. I would love to do that!
So for my card today, I used the Stamp TV kit again from Gina K designs! I love this kit!!!
I used Melon Mambo and Rose Red for the two step roses. The leaves were left over from my last Stamp TV card so I think those colors are Old Olive and Always Artichoke but I am not postive. The Birthday wishes is also from this kit and the ribbon is from another stamp tv kit. Can you tell I love those kits!!!
I didnt want to get out my glitter so I added some sparkle with my Wink Of Stella clear pen.
Also I used my stampin up embossing folder for the first time that I am really sad to say is not in the current catalogue. This embossing folder I think is called Painted Petals and it goes with all the other beautiful painted petal line that was in the Occasion catalogue and didnt make it into the new one.

Stampendous Build A Bouquet Card 2

Here is another card I made using Stampendous Build A Bouquet stamp set, flower dies and pop up dies.

Yep, lots of supplies for this card and very time consuming. But I love it. This one I did all in pinks.

I used some papers I had that are in a paper pack I got from Michaels a long time ago.

I am doing this for my stamp club so I had to make quite a few of these up.

So I used different papers for them from this pack.

I colored them all with copic markers and this time I glittered them instead of using the wink of stella pen for sparkles like the last one I did.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the newest stamp tv kit from Gina K Designs.

On the front I used the retired Banner Greetings set from stampin up and just cut it out.

I like the way it looks like the butterfly is carrying the banner.

I did make it go off the edge a bit because it was a last minute decision to put it on and I wanted it on the right side of the card. I really wanted it on the left side but the way the banner is I didnt think it would look as good. But I really like how this turned out.

Happy Stamping!

My Rose, Sweet Monkey and Stamp TV Challenge Winner!

I went to a Stampin Safari Stampin Up retreat on saturday and had a very good time. It was very inspiring!

This cute little monkey was my name tag. There were monkeys, giraffes, elephants, zebras and tocans. They were all made from stampin up punches. The girls were very creative and did a great job on them. We had tons of food, make n takes, inspiring business classes and lots of prizes.

I won a door prize, Yeah!!!

Also speaking of prizes!!! I won the challenge at Gina K Stamp TV . I will be getting a grab bag of goodies sent to me!! I cant wait to see what is in the grab bag.

Also, I was pruning my roses yesterday and this beautiful rose got cut by accident. Isnt it beautiful??

I cant have it too close to me in the house tho, my allergies that came up about 5 years ago really cant handle most of the rose scents.

Well, off to create!

Happy Stamping!

Another Papertrey Ink Project!

This is made with another PTI set. It is called Quilted Summer and has matching dies also. It was fun to make. You cut out the quilt pattern and then stamp all the pieces and put them back in.

The first card I had a little glitch on one of the little pieces so it looks a little different. The second card is the best. It shows this as a pinwheel pattern. The third card I had another little glitch on the sentiment so I stamped it again and fussy cut it out. So most of the time when you make a mistake it can be mostly fixed.

I used daffodil delight, mint macaron and melon mambo for the color combo on this card and layered it with melon mambo cardstock.

I added a couple of little rhinestones to the center of the quilt block and the flower.

The flower is a two step flower and then it has its own little die cut. With these dies, you cut everything out first and then stamp on them because these dies are not thinlits.

This is a fun stamp set. It has the flower stamp, and also has two sizes of pinwheels (stamps and dies) also two sizes of butterflies and a couple of other flowers. So it has lots of possiblities with it.

Tomorrow I will have another PTI card with the Cutting Garden set again.

Happy Stamping!

Make It Monday at PaperTrey Ink!

Over at Nicholes blog for Papertrey Ink, they have their Make It Monday challenge. This week it is to fussy cut something. I just got two new sets in the mail from them on friday and love them both. I love stamping with their photopolymer stamps. They stamp and ink up great. So I stamped the flowers from the Cutting Garden set and stamped them down the side of the card. Then I cut around the edges of the flowers. Of course there are matching dies for this set and I did get them with the set but didnt use them so I could enter this challenge.
This is a single layer card which is really hard for me. It just doesnt seem right not to layer it up and add some great embellishments. So I did add some ribbon on it.
The ribbon is also papertrey ink I think Aqua Mist. The inks are stampin up, the new in colors watermelon wonder and macaron mint, plus daffodil delight and melon mambo.
The sentiment also came from the Cutting Garden stamp set. I think there are 4 sentiments with this set.

Stampendous Build A Bouquet!

This card is so much prettier in person. I love how it turned out. One thing you cant see in the picture is the shimmer on all the flowers. I used Wink Of Stella and made them very sparkly.

This set is from Stampendous Build A Bouquet. I had to wait a whole month to get the complete set.

First I got the pop up die, then the flower dies, and finally the flower stamp set.

I colored these with Copic markers. I hadnt colored in so long it was hard to get back in the swing of it.

The pop up die has 4 tabs on it for the vase and flowers to make them stand out.

The Happy Birthday is from my new Gina K designs Stamp Tv kit. I love the font on it.

It looks so elegant

Happy Stamper!

Painted Petals!

This is a set of cards I made using Stampin Ups Painted Petals set. I love the watercolor look to this set and the petit little flowers. I used Melon Mambo and Old Olive inks. I also used the papers to match this set. I decorated the envelopes too including liners. I am thinking of making a purse to match to store these cards in. I made them all thinking of you cards so I decide to give them as a gift they can be used for lots of occasions.

Saturday Sketch Challenge!

Hello!
Here is a springy card using mostly all Gina K Design products. The yellow is actually So Saffron from Stampin Up and I did use Mossy Meadow and Old Olive Inks from SU. All other products are from Gina K. The stamps and dies for the flowers and leaves are from the new Gina K Stamp TV kit.
The ds papers are from it also. I had also purchased her inks Blue Denim, Powder Blue, Prickly Pear and Sweet Corn.
I used the sketch from sketch saturday for the layout of this card.

Scraps leftover from other card

Used Sketch from Sketch saturday

I had a few scraps leftover when I made this card. My papers were 6 x 6. So I made them into 1" strips and made the other card. I also had extra roses and leaves cut out.

Floral Wings and CTS#123

This card was made with the sketch from Cas(E) this sketch #123 . I used all the new Stampin Up In-Colors. Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Delightful Dijon.
The stamp set is also from the new catalogue and it is called Floral Wings. It has a matching die but it wasnt on the sneek preview list so I had to cut these out by hand. The lace at the bottom of the card is also in the new in-colors. It is 5/8" wide but I only let about less then half of that show. I have used the word window punch for the sentiment which comes with the Floral Wings set. The flower on the butterfly is also in the new catalogue and comes in all the in colors. I have used a little bit of the lace and then put one of the flowers on top.
All of  the items for this card will be in the new catalogue. Everyone will be able to order out of starting June 2nd. I cant wait to start ordering from it.
Happy Stamping!

SFYTT Reverse Confetti Challenge

This card is for the challenge at SFYTT Reverse Confetti . They have some of the cutest stamps and dies. I love this one. I used the little ice cream die and sentiments to go with it. The sentiments are called Love and Ice Cream. It has some really cute sentiments with it.
The DS papers are from Best Creations Inc. Candy Shop collection and I also used SU Strawberry Slush cardstock. I added stickles on the bottome of the hot fudge sauce, the cherry and the ice cream.
The ice cream cup was run thru the cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder.
The little cherry on top is from the cupcake punch from SU.
Happy stamping!

Cute Purse/Container!

I found this great idea for the wood mount stampin up cases at Inking Idaho's blog on making these cute little purses out of the stampin up wood mount cases. I thought oh no I dont have any and am not going to be ordering for awhile. But then I realized I do have lots of extra thin cases. I have several Stampin Up sets that came in these woodmount size cases. But they are photopolymer sets and fit easily in the smaller cases. So I transferred one of them over to a smaller case and then had a larger case ready to try this new purse.

So it was really easy and fun. I found some pretty papers to use and then decorated the outside of the front and added the handle.

Very cool! You can use it to put cards in with maybe a matching pen and some postage stamps. Or I found out that these cases are the perfect size to put your stamping supplies in for traveling. Like your scissors, bone folder, adhesive, and whatever small tools your might travel with.

So I am off to Tamis house on saturday for a day of stamping and thought I would try it out.

On this case I used some Elizabeth Craft word dies, and Stampin Up butterfly thinlit. I sprayed the butterfly with some Tattered Angel glimmer mist to give it a little bit of sparkle.

You could also add some glitter to the butterfly. Then I put one of the pretty embellishments from the stampin up occasions catalog on the butterfly.

Happy Stamping!
