Thinking of You

This card was inspired by a similar one in a magazine (Stampin’ Success) that Stampin’ Up! demonstrators receive each month. I changed a few things but the way it turned out. I used two items from the Occasions Mini Catalog: the Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch (which also comes with the branch he is on) and Old Olive 5/8 inch satin ribbon. The texture on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock was achieved by using the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions embossing folder. I used a Stampin’ Dimensional on the bird’s wing to create lift. My sentiment “Thinking of You” is part of a hostess set (Kind and Caring Thoughts) at level 3. You can choose this set when you have a $500 order. If you have any questions about this card or anything else on my website, don’t hesitate to email me! Thanks for stopping by!

Heart Treat Cups

This card was made using the Heart Treat cups in the Occasions mini as well as the Sending Love designer series paper. I was inspired by a card that Melissa Stout made. You can see a video tutorial that she created on her website. Once you arrive, look at the top and you will see “Video Tutorials.” Click that and it will take you to her YouTube videos. This is the first card I’ve made using these treat cups and think I will make some more this week to give to co-workers. If you would like to place an order, or just have questions, please email me! Thanks for stopping by.

Double Color Medallion

Here’s another card I made with the medallion stamp. This time I stamped it with Almost Amethyst and then used a dauber and applied Night of Navy. It was the first time I had tried this technique and next time I think I will add more of the darker color for a bolder image. I used a filigree brad in the center. I love these brads! Did you know that you can order Stampin’ Up! products any time you want? You can email me or go right to my website and order it yourself. After arriving at the website, click SHOP NOW which is under my name on the top right. Your order will be sent right to your home! Click here if you would like to go to my website.

Medallion

I made this card using the Medallion stamp. I’ve had it for a few months and this was the first time I used it. Wow, it sure is a bold stamp! I used Night of Navy and Almost Amethyst cardstock. I stamped the image directly onto Whisper White cardstock two different times so that I could cut out the center section. Then I attached it using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I put a pearl from the Pretties kit using a glue dot. This card was part of a set that I gave to someone for her birthday today! Thanks for visiting!

Lots of Hearts

I made this card using many products from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the new punch called Pinking Hearts Border, Sending Love Specialty paper for the middle heart, Stampin’ Up! Embosslit Scalloped Heart of Hearts and Well Scripted for the sentiment. For the stamp I used the clear mount set instead of wood. I like the wood blocks but am really enjoying using the clear mount blocks. I got the inspiration for this card from Dawn Dickinson and you can see her card here. Thanks for visiting!

Cute Flower

I made this flower a few days ago and haven’t decided what to put it on yet. Still thinking about it. It was easy to make using SU! Designer Series Paper, the scallop punch and one of the new corduroy buttons! When I post my creation with this cute flower, I will provide the link to the directions and who I got the idea from.

Big Shot Petal Card Die

Here are some cute favors I made using the Big Shot Petal Card die. They were so easy and quick to make. I used a variety of Designer Series paper. The white one with glitter and flowers (brown background with pink and white flowers on the flap) is from the Occasions Mini catalog. It is called Sending Love Speciality and all of the paper in the pack is beautiful! It is so much prettier in person. I tucked some Ghirardelli chocolate inside. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

Here is a card I made for my daughter’s birthday yesterday. She loves birds so I covered this chipboard bird. It was my first try and so much easier than I had anticipated. She loved it so that made my day! Thanks for visiting!

Vintage Vogue

Here is a card using two of our new stamp sets in the Occasions Mini which you can order from on Tuesday! I used Vintage Vogue and Well Scripted!

Thank You Gift Set

I made this gift set for someone at Christmas. I used Bella Bleu designer paper (page 162 in the catalog) for the first time as well as my Big Shot (I love that machine). It is hard to tell but the butterflies and flower have blue rhinestone brads in the center. If you click on each card you will be able to see a close up. The first picture is the box I made to put the cards and envelopes into. I used the same paper on the inside of my pen. Thank you for visiting!!
