Channeling my inner old lady...

This is the first time I'm uploading a card to the Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge blog. I channeled my inner old lady (Hi, Kim!) for another Timeless Treasures card, this time using the teacup and a sentiment from Something to Celebrate. Since I'm using my card for a club tonight, I made it a normal 4-1/2" x 5-1/2" because I don't have enough square envelopes for everybody. I also took the liberty to make the Springtime Vintage dsp squares smaller to stamp the greeting on the Very Vanilla card front instead of one of the squares. The front of the card was also embossed with the Framed Tulips embossing folder.

Stamps: Timeless Treasures, Something to Celebrate (hostess Level 2 in Occasions Mini);

Ink: Classic Rose Red;

Paper: Very Vanilla, River Rock, Rose Red, Springtime Vintage dsp;

Accessories: Antique Brads, Framed Tulips embossing folder, crochet trim, dimensionals.

American Ink make & takes: From Four Frames to On The Grow...

Our American Ink team gathering yesterday was so much fun! Not only was the food plentiful, but there were new faces, great make & takes and swaps! Though there were six make & takes, I only got photos of these four.

Sew Suite Fun Flowers card with buttons...

I love this card! It has so many great details - like the fabric brad, the Sweet Stitches dsp, the Sew Suite stamps, buttons and faux stitching. I'd love to take credit for it, but I CASE'd it from Jackie Topa. I used Early Espresso ink on everything except the thread, which is Old Olive. The Something to Celebrate banner is from the Petal Cone die, but was shortened to fit on the card. My favorite part is stamping Pattern Pieces onto Fun Flowers die-cut pieces of packing paper (that comes in every Stampin' Up! box). Talk about recycling!

Quick cards from Party This Way & Sweet Summer, to On The Green & Clearly For You...

I had a 10-card class yesterday with these quick and easy cards. Everyone made two of each design. The top card uses the Level 1 hostess set, A Slice of Life, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Something to Celebrate, and a Scallop Border Punch. The colors are Early Espresso and Marina Mist, with the onesie pieced from Elegant Soiree dsp.

This man card uses the single On The Green stamp, along with Woodland Walk dsp, Word Window Punch, and jumbo eyelet (added with the Crop-a-dile tool). The colors are Garden Green and Crumb Cake, and everyone could select sentiments from Teeny, Tiny Wishes.

This birthday card uses the Party This Way stamp set, as well as the In Color pad of paper and a Basic Black marker.

This Crumb Cake card uses the Clearly for You stamp set with Early Espresso ink and a piece of 1-1/4" Early Espresso grosgrain ribbon. Punches used include the Decorative Label and 2-1/2" Circle.

I love the bright colors of this Sweet Summer card. We stamped whichever words from So Happy for You, along with the stem and flowers from Sweet Summer in Basic Gray. Then we used an aqua painter with Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise to color the images, adding a bit of Daffodil Delight with a marker. The designer paper is from the Pawsitively Prints II pack.

Create a Cupcake is Something to Celebrate...



I made this card for a make & take at my American Ink team gathering last weekend. It is a Crumb Cake card with a strip of Sunny Garden dsp, Peach Parfait decorative label, and Create a Cupcake stamps ink and then punched out with the cupcake punch. I CASE'd a card by Ilina Crouse. My card uses the Scallop Trim Border Punch, a greeting from Something to Celebrate and Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait and Early Espresso ink pads.

Sew Suite revisited with different dsp and buttons...

Do you remember a Sew Suite card similar to this last week? I thought the women at a stamp-a-stack tomorrow would enjoy the sewing machine print from the Sweet Stitches dsp pack. The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch adds a bit of decoration in Tempting Turquoise at the top, along with a greeting from the Something to Celebrate hostess set. The dress form has dimensionals adhering it to the front of the card, and the button is on with a dimensional as well.

Love Impressions Rub-Ons are Something to Celebrate...

This Sweet Valentine pink pirouette card features rub-ons and the Level 2 hostess set, Something to Celebrate. Stampin' Up! sent all of its demonstrators some rub-ons to try when the Occasions Mini Catalog started last month. You may purchase these Love Impressions Rub-Ons for only $7.95 on page 8 of the mini. The rub-on layer is adhered with dimensionals, then I added a strip of Real Red with 1/8" Pretty in Pink taffeta and a Real Red designer button.
