Simply INKredible Stamping

Debbie's Easter Card

My friend and team mate in Stampin Up! sent me an Easter card.  It is folded so that it fits in a regular envelope and then expands so it can sit on a table or by your computer for your enjoyment.  She used Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) (149500) and Full of Happiness (151539) stamp set.  She used part of the pineapple die from In the Tropics dies (151495).  

The cardstock is 8 X 5 1/4  scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5 1/2 and 6 3/4".  The bottom bar is  1 3/4 X  5 1/2".  The egg half and the chick is fussy cut.  She used 4 pieces of Crumb Cake cardstock each cut 1 X 4" each and one cut 2 3/4 X 4 then layered the DSP cut to size 3/4 X 4" for sides (4) and one cut 2 5/8 X 3 3/4".  On the bar at the bottom she layered a Crumb Cake piece 1 1/2 X 5 1/4" and put it through the Big Shot using the Basket Weave embossing folder  (151797).  The tag is  5/8" X 4".  This is a fabulous card and I thank Debbie for sending it to me.  

All Dressed Up Purse

I made this darling purse and many more  so my friends could see how cute they are.  I used  the All Dressed Up dies and the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP).  They are so very easy to make and they will hold a gift card or candy.  My sister's birthday is coming up so guess who is getting a gift card in a purse.

Best Dressed DSP  151319  $11.50

All Dressed Up dies   151665  $35.

Whisper White Thick Cardstock 5 1/2 X  5 1/2" Score at 4 1/4".  Cut at 5 3/4".  The piece you cut off  should be cut to 1 1/2" X 4 1/4.  Use the other piece for scraps.

Pleased as Punch DSP (153558)  2 pieces 1 1/2 X 4 1/4"

Scrap of White for the Forever Blossoms flower stamp,  small flower stamp and leaves

Window Sheet cut to 4 1/4 X 1 3/4".  I use d the tear & Tape adhesive on both pieces of cardstock  and added the window sheet (front side) then put the window sheet over the tape using the inside of the card to line up correctly.  I added tear & Tape to the window sheet on each side of the cut .  Stamp the flowers and add to card.  Stamp a verse on the inside so that it shows thru the window sheet.  Enjoy!  I hope you like this card

Ornate Style Sneek Peek

One of the advantages of being a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! is that you get new products before they come on the market to customers...Ornate Garden is one of those suites that I could purchase early.  I cannot draw worth a hoot but I can color and paint.  Stamping allows me to color and create with paper and stamps some beautiful cards.   I have been a demonstrator for 23 years this month and I have loved every minute of it.  When I had a full time job with a major bank in Virginia, sometimes I would come home exhausted.  After dinner I would slip into my stamp studio and make a card.  WOW, all the stress and tiredness went away.  That was really nice and I had a great card to send to a friend.

This is a sneek peek at the new Ornate Garden suite.  I used the following to make the card:

Positive Thoughts Collage card

Good Morning everyone, 

I am stuck at home because of the CoronaVirus.  Joe's immune system is not as good as it should be because of the radiation he had last year.  It is coming back though.  He didn't want me to go out much so I would not bring the virus into our home.  So I am making cards and will post new ones later.  This card I made a few weeks ago and I love collage cards.  They are so easy to Make.  My colors in this card are Crumb Cake 120953, Mossy Meadow 133676, Blackberry Bliss 133675. The Stamp set is Positive Thoughts in the Occasions Catalog (Page 23).  I used retired Fresh Fig ribbon because it just seems to go with Blackberry Bliss.  This is a very easy card to make.  If I can help you make it, please let me know.  Have a beautiful day.
