Hello My Crafty Friends. . .  Well, you've had a few days now to look over your catty.  What do ya think?  Once again Stampin' Up has given us a beautiful book to choose from plus it is chocked full of ideas, color combos, 3D projects and much much more.  Don't forget folks that the Idea Book and Catalog is not only a great source for new products but it also is a great source for layouts, color combos and great ways we can use our new products.  Today I have a card that I cased directly from the new catalog.  You can find it on pg 124.  I'm using the Flower Fest Stamp Set.  I changed the color scheme and used a few different cool tools but the layout and the idea are the same.   Remember folks whenever your MOJO has seemed to escape the Idea Book and Catalog is a great place to refresh your MOJO.  I did use a technique on this card and it is called embossing.  I stamped my butterfly with White Craft Ink and embossed it with White Embossing Powder then cut them out.  It's a great way to achieve color without having to actually color it.  Great technique give it a try.

Hello my Crafty Friends. . .  OMG have I got a cutie putie to share with you today.  It's another sneek peek from the new catty.  There's just a few days left and the new Idea Book and Catalog will make its debut.  Yippie!!!  I am so ready for new DP and rubba.  The stamp set is Pennant Parade.  It is so so cute.  I used the new In Color Island Indigo for my card base, then a layer of WW.  I used some of the new designer paper called Just Add Cake.  The picture in the catty does not do it justice.  You will absolutely love it!!!!!!!!  My other colors are Calypso Coral also a new In Color and ole' faithful So Saffron.  What's even more exciting is that the stamp set has a matching punch called Petite Pennants Builder.  There is nothing better than having cool tools that coordinate with our stamp sets to make our papercrafting a better crafting experience.  For my sentiment I used the b/d stamp from the ret. Well Scripted.  Punched it with our Scallop Oval Punch and nested it with another piece of Island Indigo punched with the 1 3/4 circle punch.  I decorated the inside and my envie with a stamp from the retiring Party Hearty #111532, added some Rhinestone Jewels (boy they do sparkle) and viola' you have a perfect Birthday Card for someone special young or old.

Just want to remind you that the clock is ticking.  There is still time to get any of your favorites stamps or designer papers before they retire.   Most of the DP is leaving so check it out so you don't miss out.  Click on the links below for the updated lists.  For your convenience remember you can place your orders thru my on line store 24/7.  But don't wait to the last minute because there is always a mad rush and you could miss out.

Hello My Crafty Friends. . .  Welcome to Tuesday morning, once again I'm  using the stamp set Flower Fest.  I just love the roses and how easy it is to have a coordinating punch to punch my image perfectly.  Love it!!!!!!  You can find this set in your Summer Mini.  My colors are Poppy Parade, the retiring Pawsitively Prints Desinger Paper, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White. Pawsively Prints is one of our retiring designer papers, but don't fret it is still available, but quantities are limited.  So don't delay your order.   To make my roses pop I did emboss them with Whisper White Craft Ink and Natural White Embossing Pwd and used my heating tool.  My circles are from the #2 Scallop Die Cut, and the 3" circle die cut.  I used my paper piercer on my scallops for a little more definition.  Don't you think that works wonderfully.  I sure do.  My So Saffron Scallop is from the Trim Biz Die Cut, or you can do it the old fashioned way by using your slot punch.  My tag is a non SU item and the ribbon is Poppy Parade Stitched Ribbon.  It's all the rage now to decorate the inside of your card as well, so on the inside I used the Butterfly from this set and stamped it randomly in So Saffron.  I used the stamp off method so it would give me a lighter image.  My sentiment is retired.

Good Morning My Friends. . .  Happy Wednesday  Today I have a birthday card to share featuring our oh so cute Aviary Stamp Set, Priceless Stamp Set and sentiment is from SAB So Happy For You (ret).  I started out with Whisper White as my card base, matted with a piece of Marina Mist topped off with another piece of Whisper White.  I used our Big Shot and Finial Press Embossing Folder.  Next I cut a 1 3/4 strip of Basic Black and matted it with a piece of Marina Mist DP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper pack.  For my focal point I used a 3 1/4" square and used out Scallop Trim Border Punch and Corner Punch to make my scallops.  Remember always start in the corners for this technique.  My flowers were inked in Basic Black and cut out with our paper snips.  Added a little pizzazz with a crystal brad on top and silver brads for the flower centers.  This stamp set is just so cute no matter what you choose to do with it.  Pairing it up with the Priceless flowers makes it extra special, don't you think.

Hello My Friends. . .  Welcome to Wednesday.  It's Hump Day, that means we are a little closer to the week end.  Are you ready for Easter Sunday.  I'm still in the planning stage, going to the grocery store on Thur or Friday.  Today I have a card to share using this weeks MOJO Monday Sketch.  I used one of our new stamp sets from the Summer Mini.  The Summer Mini will go live on May 1st.  If you didn't receive a mini please let me know.  If you have a relationship with another demonstrator please contact her.  My color combo is Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler and Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  First up, I used the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder on my Baja Breeze piece.  Next I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler at 3 x 4" and matted it with a piece from Paisley Petals.  My stamp set is Touch of Kindness.  It's a set of 9 images with sayings.  Cute, Cute.  I stamped my image with Black Stazon on Whisper White, used Bashful Blue and Going Gray markers with a blender pen.  Be careful the paper will pill if you try to blend too much.  I just kind of pitter patter until the hard line of the marker starts to blend.  For a little pizzazz I did add some glitter to the water drops.  It took it up a notch.  Ribbon is the 1/2 Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.

Hello My Friends. . .  Top of the Morning To Ya.  Today I have a fun fun card to share with you featuring the stamp set Bring On the Cake.  It is chocked full of all kinds of fun images to make your Birthday Cards special.  You can find it in the Occasions Mini on pg 20.  My color combo is Tempting Turq, So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Whisper White and the oh so cute Pawsitively Prints II.  I used Basic Black and Poppy Parade Ink and used my markers to color in my images.  I used my Big Shot and the Birds and Bloom Die Cut for the cute little scallop flower in the corner.  Topped it off the a random button and tied it with a black gingham ribbon.  I think this card could be used for a toddler, teenager and could even be considered a manly man card.

Hello Friends. . .  I don't think I have shared this card with you yet, but if I have here is a second look.  I just love how this card turned out.  My cardbase is Pear Pizzaz and I used our new Embossing Folder called Framed Tulips.  You can find it in the Occasions Mini on pg 12.  Great new folder.  TIP:  Be sure that it is correctly aligned in the folder, it does make a difference.  My next layer is Marina Mist.  I have not used that color much but WOW it sure does fit here.  I also used a piece from our new dp Springtime Vintage.  I just love that paper.  My stamp set is Just Believe and Well Scripted.  My last layer is a piece of Whisper White and a striped piece from Springtime Vintage.  I used my old faithful Scallop Trim Border Punch and added some silver bling.  Ribbon is Marina Mist 5/8" Satin and I used one of the buttons from Bitty Buttons and the matching punch.  I fancied up the inside with the same floral stamp from Just Believe.  If you would like to case this card and you're in need of supplies, please click on my show now button below.
