Simply INKredible Stamping

Thanks for visiting my blog.  I am trying to do better about posting to it.  I am blown away with all the stamps and thinlits/framelits that the new Occasions Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration Catalog has in them.  I haven't had this much fun in a while - just going to my room and stamping.  Everything in these catalogs are super.  Today I made a surprise bonus card for a class. We all need get well cards and this one is soooo easy.  The base card is Whisper White thick cardstock (140272) I used the Needlepoint Nook DSP (148807) for the first layer.  I embossed the Crushed Curry (131191) with the darling Needlepoint Elements (148541). The thinlit makes the card look like you stitched out the flower.  So cute. There is a bundle on the stamps and thinlits (150626) for a 10% savings.  I used Berry Burst ribbon and stapled it to the card.  I hope you like it.  Please let me know.  Blessings,

Tea Together

I just love teapots.  I love coloring too.  I am so happy Stampin' Up! decided to do another teapot.  The stamp set is Tea Together(148779) and the framelits are Tea Time (SAB 149697).  The framelits are free with a $100 order during Sale-a-bration (SAB)  I colored the teapot with Coastal Cabana (147097) and the Aqua Painter (103954).  The flowers are colored with Grapefruit Grove (147142) ink.  The lace is some retired borders from years past.  I hope you like my teapot card and you will place an order with me.  Let me know what you think. 

Happy Birthday again

I love this new Gingham designer paper.  i love the 6 X 6 size too.  On this dsp, i used a ruler and drew lines in between the gingham print.  I used the Lemon Lime Twist marker.  I'm not sure the camera picked it up very good. I attached the organza ribbon in grape and lemon lime to the dsp and  attached that to the Gorgeous Grape card 8 1/2 X 4 1/4" card.  I cut the Happy Birthday out of the grape cardstock and out of the Lemon Lime twist cardstock and off centered them on the card using Mono glue.  I tied a bow with both colors of ribbon and attached it with a glue dot.  This is a very simple card.  I hope you will make it too.  Have a nice day  

Happy Birthday

Don't you just love the Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick foil that is free in the Sale-a-bration catalog.  The colors change with the lighting.  It's beautiful.  All my customers want that foil.  It goes with everything.  The Lovely Lipstick is gorgeous too.  They both are beautiful embossed with our embossing folders.  Here I chose the card to be in Grapefruit Grove 8 1/2 X 4 1/4", the foil is 5 1/4 X 4" and the Share What You Love DSP is 2 X 51/4".  I cut out Very Vanilla cardstock with the new Rectangle Thinlits .  They are stitched on both sides.  If you cut a tag like the one used here you get stitching on the tag but you also get stitching on the Very Vanilla around the cut out hole.  You can use that for another card. How nice of Stampin' Up! to think of that when designing these thinlits. The organza ribbon is another sale-a-bration item.  Have some fun stamping today.  Thanks for visiting my blog.

Sending Prayers card

Good Morning Stampers,  I have made another lovely card that could be used for any occasion.  The designer papers in the Occasion catalog are absolutely beautiful as always but this catalog has gone way beyond beautiful. I used the leaves dsp  cut to 4 X 5 1/4". This card uses the Whisper White thick cardstock cut at 8 1/2 X 4 1/4"  The stamp set is Wonderful Romance (148632) and I used the matching Floral Framelits (148529) to cut the leaves.  I stamped the card with Old Olive on a piece of white measuring 2 1/4 X 3 1/2".  I am in love with that color. The leaves are stamped on a scrap and cut out with the framelits.  I layered the Old Olive  3 X 4' and embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.  The Floral romance dsp was used - the vellum Petal Pink is cut to a tag  2 X 5" and punched with the Banner Triple punch.  I wrapped linen thread around the card and put a flat gold button for decoration.  The small twig is cut with the framelits in Mellow Moss. Sentiment is stamped on a Petal Pink scrap and stamped in black.  I hope you like my card. I am trying to do better about posting to this blog.  Sometimes life gets in the way.  Have a great day.

Lovely Day Card

For today's card, I used a beautiful set and fabulous designer paper from the Occasions catalog.  It could be a Valentine card or a special day card.   The stamp set is Forever Lovely.  I used Lovely Lipstick as the card base 8 1/2 X 4 1/4", Whisper White 3 X 4 for the framelit cut and a scrap for the oval sentiment. The Designer paper is All My Love on page 5 of the Occasions Catalog cut to 2 1/2 X 4".   The ribbon is Powder Pink ruffled 4 1/2".  Pearls were added to each end of the ribbon I attached the ribbon with Tear & Tape.The ink is Lovely Lipstick.  I hope you love my card today.  This card will be in my class on January 22 in my stamp studio. Sign up for the class.  I would love to see you.  Have a lovely day.

Lasting Lily Sympathy Card

Here is a card I made for an upcoming class.  It uses the Lasting Lily sale-a-bration stamp.  It is a great set for any occasion. I made the simple card by using an half sheet of Whisper White, scored at 4 1/4 and folded.  I took the card and placed the Wonderful Floral framelit on the right side and ran it thru the Big Shop.  This framelit makes a beautiful edge on the card.  If you use some wax paper between the framelit and the cardstock, it may come out of the framelit better.  Remember to take the waxpaper out of the framelit so that the framelit will cut better each time.  The lilies are stamped in Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive.  The sentiment is in the stamp set and I stamped it in Memento black.  I placed a sentiment on the inside from the stamp set.  I hope you love the card.  Come to class on the 22 of January and make this card in my stamp studio.  I can also mail you a kit with a $10 order and the free Lasting Lily stamp set.

Botanical Butterflies

Sale-a-bration has begun at Stampin' up!.  This is the best sale of the year.  Sorry I have not posted in a while.  Please forgive me.  I am so inspired with the new stamps in the Occasions catalog and the Sale-a-bration catalog, that I have been in my stamp studio for days making cards.  This card is using the Botanical Butterfly DSP in the sale-a-bration catalog.  It's free with a $50 order.  The paper has colorful butterflies on one side and black and white on the other side.  On the black and white side, you can color the butterflies in any color(s) you like.  The paper is gorgeous.   To make this card, you will need a few simple items.  Here they are:

Whisper White card 1/2 sheet, Botanical Butterflies dsp cut to 3 1/4 X 5 1/2", Botanical Butterflies black polka dot 5 1/2 X1"  Black Twine wrapped around the card and tied in a bow.The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black on a scrap ow Whisper White.  It is in the Humming Along stamp set in the Occasions catalog (pg 36).    Now that was very easy and what a beautiful card it is.   Have a beautiful day.
