Fancy Flower punch with Island Oasis dsp...

This was a "warm-up" card for my club members this month.

I wanted to make use of the Island Oasis dsp before it's no longer available (Aug. 31 is the last day to order from the Summer Mini).

The sentiment is from the Level 2 hostess set, Apple Blossoms. We used Tempting Turquoise and Real Red markers to ink up the stamp.

We used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch on the polka-dotted pumpkin pie paper, and the Fancy Flower Extra-Large punch on the turquoise paper. The leaves were die cut with the Stampin' Up! Island Floral die for the Big Shot.

Bird theme challenge card with Aviary stamp set

Good morning! For this challenge, I decided to turn to my Nursery Suite Specialty paper for this decorative Regal Rose scallop. I love that we have so many terrific designs, but it's hard to cover them up at all. So instead, I opted to stamp the birds from Aviary on the big scallops and add lots of rhinestones for bling!

The sentiment is from the Level 2 hostess set, Apple Blossoms. I used the Decorative Label punch (Sneak Peek for what's coming up in the Holiday Mini Catalog Sept. 1).

Kim created the adorable card below using the Aviary stamp set.

This So Saffron card uses some Play Date dsp and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder, as well as a series of oval punches.

Apple Blossoms on Greenhouse Gala paper...

Some of the new designer paper coming out July 1 is so pretty it deserves to be front and center.


The paper is from the Greenhouse Gala pack, and the sentiment is from a Level 2 hostess set called Apple Blossoms.


Behind the designer paper is a new In Color called Cherry Cobbler. There's so much fun stuff to play with in the new catalog!

Printed Petals happy card...

Kim created this pretty Printed Petals swap card.

We received the stamp set (found in the new catalog!) during our incentive trip to the Southern Caribbean in late April/early May.

Kim started with a Kraft card base, stamping the 6-petal flower for a background.

She used the Rock & Roll Technique for the big flower and added a Build-a-Brad to the middle.

The new Clear Rectangle Sizzlit was used for the sentiment, which is from a new Level 2 hostess set called Apple Blossoms.
