Here’s a card I made some time ago. I used my Big Shot to make the textured background and the flowers. My inspiration came from another demonstrator but I am not sure who it was. I will post my supplies later. Hope you are having a great Monday!

Ink: Concord Crush
Paper: Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Rose Red
Accessories: Big Shot, Finial Press embossing folder, Blossom Party Original die, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Basic pearls (love these), Scallop Oval XL punch, 1 3/4 x 7/8 Oval Large punch, 5/8″ Organza ribbon/whisper white

I love this new set, Day of Gratitude, which can be found in the Holiday Mini! I was able to make this card pretty quickly. I stamped my images with Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight onto Whisper White. Then I ran it through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. My scallop is also in Cherry Cobbler and I stamped Thank You (also in the Day of Gratitude set) in Cherry Cobbler too. I love these new colors. I hope this inspires you to give it a try! IF you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Stamps: Day of Gratitude

Sorry that I haven’t posted very often. I am a full time teacher and school started a month ago. I am still trying to get caught up and find time (which I really haven’t) to sit and stamp. Here is another card I made using the Owl punch. It is just like one I already posted but it uses different colors. I used Early Espresso cardstock and Greenhouse Gals DSP.
Our new Holiday Mini goes live on the first. It is packed with great products. If you’ve ordered from me recently you should be receiving it in the mail very soon!! Have a great weekend!

I’ve been gone too long! The last month has had some challenges and I wasn’t able to sit and create, at all. I have a Big Shot class on Tuesday so I spent yesterday creating some projects. This is one of them using the cute new owl punch. It is so much fun to use and the little owl will always look different with every card you make! I used the Scallop Square Bigz die. The white part of the card lifts up and sits on the square scallop. I got the inspiration for this design from Andrea Walford’s blog. I also used the square lattice embossing folder. I like the look but sometimes when I use that folder my project doesn’t lay as flat as I would like but it sure is cute. The sentiment is from one of the level 2 Hostess stamp sets called Apple Blossom.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be posting again in the next several days since I made several cards this weekend.

Ink: Espresso
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Espresso, and Whisper White cardstock, Lap of Luxury DSP

I have received my shipment of new items from the catalog but I haven’t had a chance to create anything yet! I am hoping to play will all of my new fun stuff today. I am most excited about the pearls and rhinestones!! If you missed them, they are on page 188 in the new catalog!
Here is a card I made several weeks ago for a workshop. It uses the Island Oasis Designer Paper from the Summer Mini. I love this paper and will be sad when it goes away on August 31st. The stamp set I used was Tropical Party. It is a very quick and easy card to make except that you have to cut the flowers out which really goes pretty quickly. I popped up the top flower and the one on the right with dimensionals. Thanks for stopping by! I am off to play with my stamps!
Stamps: Tropical Party, Great Friend
Ink: Rose Red, So Saffron and Old Olive Classic Ink

Here is another “box” using the Fancy Favor die. This time I attached a flower to it that I made with the Circle Scallop punch. I’ve seen these flowers on numerous blogs but I am not quite sure where I found the tutorial. I always like to give credit where it is due but I truly don’t remember where I found this. The paper that I used can’t be purchased after today but truly it would look cute with any paper. Stampin’ Ups paper is two sided so that makes it very easy to get different looks. I love my Big Shot!

Today’s card was made with a set from the Summer Mini catalog called Watercolor Trio. It is so easy to make a card that is beautiful with this set. In person it really is very pretty. I used my Stampin’ Write markers in Old Olive, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant. After coloring the stamp with the markers, I huffed on them and then stamped. I have the clear mount set which it made it easy to see exactly where I wanted to stamp. I was able to make the card very quickly. When you use the markers, each card will turn out differently and be unique! I got my inspiration for this card and the card I will post tomorrow from Pennie McCallum. You can see her card here.
Only three more days to get any retiring items in the big catalog! All of the designer papers will be saying goodbye, selected accessories and many of the stamp sets. If you haven’t seen this lists, you can find them on the right hand side of my blog. If you would like to place an order, you can do so on my online website or email and I will happy to place it for you! Thanks for stopping by!
