Fun & Fast Notes

Another set that will only be available until June 30, is Fun & Fast Notes.  This super cute set is very versatile and a great starter set.

Check out this cute card I made up to give my Guides and Sparks as a thanks for the great year we had together.

NOTE: Colours used are retired and no longer available.

More Bold Blossom

I've posted a couple samples before using the Bold Blossom set from the Summer Mini catalog.  I'm really enjoying this set and its versatility.  Here are two more samples I created just today.  The first I made for the twins to give their teacher as a thank-you note to accompany the year-end gift.  The second, I made to send a friend.

The summer mini catalog ends August 31 and this fun, versatile and inexpensive set will disappear.

Colours: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Old Olive

Colours: Tempting turquoise, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Melon Mambo and
Whisper White

Simply Said, Last Chance

Colours: Night of Navy, Old Olive, Melon Mambo
Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White
Accessories:  Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Silver Brads

You know how much I love Simply Said, and how sad I am to see it retire at the end of the month.  That is why I've come up with yet another beautiful card to showcase how awesome this set really is.  I cased this card from my upline, Jennifer Tinline.  I made a few changes from her original design including colour, ribbon and accessories.  This truly is a versatile set and one that you should get before it's too late.  Only 13 more days until it's gone forever.

Waterfall Card

I'm so excited to have just finished making my very first waterfall card!  I've seen them before and thought they were awesome.
Now that I've actually made one, I can't believe how simple they are to make.  Here's my sample using Artistic Etchings.  


The only change I would make would be to the colour of the ribbon, I'd make it Daffodil Delight to match the background of my images.

Colours: Always Artichoke, Daffodil Delight, Real Red,
Whisper White

Masculine Card, Idea 3

Here is a super cute fishing vest card I made for my hubby for this upcoming Father's Day.  The card is super easy to make and I'm sure it'll be a big hit among many.

Colours: Always Artichoke, Daffodil Delight.
Accessories:  Gold eyelets, Signo (white) gel pen, Linen Thread
NOTE: fly fishing stickers NOT Stampin' Up!

Fun & Fast Thanks

A popular set that encompasses many occasions, Fun & Fast Notes, is on the Last Chance list.  While each image has it's own verse, when I mounted my stamps, I cut the verse off and mounted it on the side allowing me to mix and match images and sayings.

I created the following card, by mixing the bouquet with the verse from the cute little bird.  A perfect card to say thanks to a teacher, coach or someone special.  The background uses the Baroque Border wheel.

Colours: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Real Red, Marina Mist, Whisper White
Techniques: Heat Embossing using Clear Embossing Powder

Masculine Card, Idea 2

This super cute swim trunk card is perfect for summer.  Simply cut your shape, use Designer Series Paper or stamp your design, use the crimper to make an "elastic" waistband, and add a tie.

Note:  Ribbon used in sample is not from Stampin' Up!

Masculine Cards

Colours: Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red
Techniques:  Emboss Resist

One of the most common questions I come across is how to make a masculine card.  With Father's Day just around the corner, here's a great design that you could try using Artistic Etchings.
