Springtime Impressions Birthday

Another great thing about this layout is you only need half a sheet of the 6" x 6" designer series paper. You can use up a lot of scraps this way!

This card was made in the image of one that I received in a swap this summer. I'm sorry I do not know who had the original idea. The thing I loved about this card were the colors and the fact that I could use my Stamparatus tool to make any color ink embossed.

By stamping the sentiment first in two colors of ink using the Stamparatus, I could then clean off the stamp, re-ink with VersaMark, then use Clear Embossing Powder to heat emboss. The colors now have a shine to them and look raised.  The Stamparatus helps you place the VersaMark over the ink colors in EXACTLY the same spot you had stamped them. Genius!

Thanks for coming by today! I hope your weekend is wonderful.

New Way of Embossing

Here is a workshop card that I CASEd from Rhoda at Quick and Easy Crafter. The idea was for me to try the new Big Shot Embossing Mats in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog. These mats offer you more choices when using your dies and frailest. Instead of cutting, one of the mats allows you to only emboss the design. Here I used the Springtime Impressions Thinlits on either side of the card front inset. It made a lovely impression! To combat any cracking of the paper, I first embossed my paper using the Subtle 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This folder is named appropriately, since the texture it adds is very "subtle."

There's So Much To Love About You

This card was designed for my monthly Workshop this month. I love the colors in the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper! There are so many different combinations and types of prints. Of course they coordinate perfectly with the Abstract Impressions stamp set. I added an Ovals Collection frame for my sentiment and flower that is cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Some Night of Navy gingham ribbon tied in a bow and you have a very lovely card to give or send.

I adore these prints! What do you think? Don't forget to get your FREE Designer Series Paper pack by shopping my Online Store until July 31st.

Abstract Impressions Kindness and Love

These are my very first attempts using the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set, new in the Annual Catalog. To coordinate, Stampin' Up! has created this gorgeous Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper, which comes in an 8" x 8" stack. These are just two of the 24 different patterns in the pack, which has 48 sheets total and costs just $11. 

You could create at least two cards from each sheet, that is almost 100 cards! Or get fancy and use larger pieces and coordinate different patterns together on one card. Use those little skinny scraps and the Classic Label punch for a fun background behind a sentiment. 

This card is dressed up with the floral cut out (looks like lace) using the coordinating Springtime Impressions Thinlits. Oh, my! You hardly need anything else on the front of your card!

The star of this card is the beautiful butterfly using the same Springtime Impressions Thinlits. It easily makes a bold statement on this card. Dressed up with some Silver Faceted Gems it really delivers your greeting in style.

I love that Stampin' Up! provides all the tools we need to design beautiful projects like the cards above. When you are ready to bundle your savings, please use my Online Store and have your items shipped right to your door.
