Another Sketch 102 Card

I made this card using my sketch also. I made my balloons with the little oval punch. Used some twine for the strings and made bows with the ribbon die from the Balloon thinlit dies. Also I flipped the sketch and turned it sideways. I used the Cherry on Top Dsp and Bermuda Bay cardstock along with whisper white!
For the greeting I used Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched it out with the word window and washi label punch.
Remember the challenge is still going thru the 22nd!

Celebrate Today!

I choose my colors for todays cards using Cupcake Inspirations Challenge! The colors were berry, rose and goldenrod. I used Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, and Hello Honey! My DSP is English Gardens. I used Melon Mambo Stitched Ribbon. I love these ribbons. They are so pretty and come in great colors. My stamp set is my featured stamp of the month, Celebrate Today. If you purchase this stamp set from me you will recieve a 4 pack of cards made with this set. This is exclusive to me and not a stampin up special!
I have stamped the greeting and the basket for the hot air balloon in Soft Suede ink. Also I have added some White Perfect Accents.

For my card today I was using my sketch and the challenge from The Curtain Call Challenge!

I was trying to emboss and realized my Versamark pad was dry so I didnt get a good image. So while it was hot I was putting more embossing powder on the image to emboss it again and got a little extra powder where it wasnt supposed to be. So if you think wow she doesnt emboss very well that is why!

Sorry!!

I used the Celebrate Today Stamp set and matching dies. Also English Garden DSP (my favorite dsp!).

The ribbon is Blushing Bride cotton ribbon. I really like this ribbon. I have it in several colors already. I am a fan of the thinner ribbon. Especially when tying bows!

Happy Stamping!

Mini Treat Bag!

These cute little treat bags are made with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die. I took a piece of white cardstock and wrapped some of the new In-color ribbons around it for the gift on the inside.
To make these cute little bags, I used the English Gardens dsps. The For You die comes with the mini treat bag die. It comes with 12 dies altogether. The tag that the For You is on is also one of the dies.
These little bags are quick and fun to make. I ran about three sheets thru my Side Kick at once so that made it even quicker. You can put lots of fun stuff in there for fun little gifts or even make a card to slide in there. They would also be great for gift cards or everyones favorite CASH!!
I added some flowers with the Petite Petals stamp set and punch.

Egans Gardens Revisited!

Two Colors on this one!

The little green leaves in front are my original begonias!

Two different kinds of flowers!

I havent been stamping much for the last few days. I have been busy with yard work and buying flowers. There is a great Nursery north of Salem that I used to go to when I lived there. I went back for the first time is 20 years this weekend.
We were looking for sunflowers for the in-laws yard and decided to go here.
It is called Egans Gardens. They have the most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen and such a great variety. They had Begonias in colors I had never seen them in before. The pictures dont due them justice. The top one is two colors, yellow and a peachy color. They are huge and so beautiful!
They had greenhouses in the back that I dont think we were supposed to go into. I think they were the ones to keep the extra stock in. One greenhouse had all these different flowers but in mostly the same colors. They were so awesome.
I just love flowers so this was a great treat for me to go there. I bought three flats of flowers. I sent my husband a text of them with a picture and told him I was just picking up a few flowers.
But of course when I got them home and planted it didnt seem like so many and I just wanted to go back and get some more. ( I am stopping there on the way to Salem tomorrow just for a few!!)
The bottom picture has two different kinds of flowers the ones one the right will grow into a bush and attact Hummingbird. The ones on the left are Rock Roses I think and they have three different color flowers on them. They are so awesome!!
I will be back tomorrow with a craft project!!

Sketch and Stamp #112

This was a fun card I made using the Beautiful Bunch stamp set. For the Greeting I used one of the greetings from the Six Sided Sampler Set. My paper is the Pretty Petals Dsp pack and my inks are Calypso Coral and Old Olive. I also embossed the Very Vanilla Cardstock after stamping it with the Chevron Embossing Folder. I added some rhinestones to the little flowers. The flower was punched out with the Fun Flower punch and the petite petals punch. They both go perfect with this stamp set!

My card is made using the sketch from Sketch and Stamp Challenge #112 . Its always more fun in my opinion to make a card using a sketch. If I know what papers and stamps I want to use a sketch guides me on how to use them.
Remember place a Stampin Up order with me this month. I have all kinds of specials going on!!
Happy Stamping!

Non SU Butterfly Card!

I found this card on pinterest here about a year ago. I finally decided to make it. I had bought all the stuff and hadnt used any of it. I added a ribbon and changed the greeting but otherwise it is pretty much the same as the original.

The die is from memory box. It is so delicate and pretty. The embossing folder is from Darice.

My greeting and the oval punches, also the ribbon are all stampin up.

The pink cardstock is an even prettier pink in real life. It is a Gina K Designs cardstock called BubbleGum Pink. She has some really nice cardstock!

Happy Stamping!

Watercolor Wings!

I'm not sure of the name of this style of card but I like it for a change anyway.
I used another one of my Watercolor Wings Butterflies I made a while back. I still have a cupful of them. I had purchased a pretty teacup at a antique store and it is sitting by my desk so I filled it full of butterflies.
I am using my favorite color combo with the same papers as my last card. I really like these papers and the colors. I might have to try yellow with it tho. I like yellow and black also.

I used one of Stampin Ups new embossing folders on this card. Wow, is it big!! Doesnt fit in my cuttlebug, so I had to use my Big Kick machine!
Happy Stamping!

Just For You!

Pink, black and white are my favorite color combinations. So when I saw a card on pinterest with these papers and stamp set I had to get them and make a card.
I love the look of the patterned paper with this. I used Everyday Chic dsp, Birthday Blossoms and Floral Wings stamp sets. Washi tape punch, circle punch, scallop circle punch and melon mambo ink and paper. The greeting is from the Floral Wings stamp set. It is a hostess gift. So if you would like to have a workshop or place a qualifying order on your own you can get this set for free!!
The white dots are White Perfect Accents. I have never used them before but really like them. You could color them to whatever color you would like!!

Pop on over to my online store and you can order all the products for this great card and have it in just a few days!!
Happy Stamping!
