Simply INKredible Stamping

I don't usually put hearts on my cards but I know I should.  This is a lovely card I made for my card club.  Here is what I used to make the card:

Stamps:  Always in My Heart

Floral Heart Dies

Seaside Spray card back is 5 1/2" X $ 1/4", 1/4 of a sheet was used to cut the heart.  The heart was embossed with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder after the cutting.  Always emboss after cutting with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.  If you emboss first your embossing will be smooshed (is that a word) during the cutting.

Whisper White is 11" X 4" scored at 5 1/2", a scrap for the clowers

Silver Foil scrap for the leaves.

Silver Embossing powder  with Versamark for the words.

I hope you like my card.  Thanks for stopping by.  

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.

Sea of Textures Card

I love anything that has to do with the sea.   I will be making this card in my clubs.  I used Sea of Textures stamp set and Under the Sea framelits (Bundle 148357W or 148358CM).

I used the following to make the card:

Cardstock: Tranquil Tide 11 X 4 1/4, Soft Sea Foam 1 X 5 1/2, and another scrap, Crumb Cake 3 X 3, Very Vanilla 1/4 sheet and a scrap of Calypso Coral.

DSP is Tranquil Textures ( 146331)

Stitched Label Thinlits, Natures Twine in Mint Macaron

Fold card in half and stamp with Fishnet stamp in Tranquil Tide. Layer  DSP and strip of Soft Sea Foam to the card.  Using the thinlits, cut out the fishnet in Crumb Cake, the Star fish in 2 sizes in Vanilla, sea grasses in Soft Sea Foam and Calypso Coral.  Layer per card.

Stamp the Octopus in Blackberry Bliss or any color of your choice and cut out with the thinlits.  On a scrap of Vanilla, stamp the fishnet in Tranquil Tide and the words of your choice.  I cut the cat out using the Stitched Label Thinlits.  Tie the twine around the card.  Wasn't that easy?  Such a great card.  I cased this idea somewhere and don't remember where. Have a blessed day.

Beautiful Card

I cased this card and changed it a little bit.  I used the Abstract Impressions bundle (148348) on page 129 of the new Catalog & Idea Book that is available as of today at 5 PM EDT. The card is So Saffron.  The designer paper is from the new paper stack "Garden Impressions (146289).  I used the new Soft Sea Foam and the Spruce Green card stock and punched the leaves.  The Springtime Thinlit is just beautiful. You can even cut the flowers apart if you like.  I hope you like the card.  Thanks for stopping by.  

Lovely card using Petal Palette by Stampin' Up!

I just love the Petal Palette stamp set.  Everything about the set I like.  I cased this card.  It features the spotlight technique.  The base card is Cherry Cobbler.  Gives it a sort of vintage feel. I hope you love it. 

Petal Palette Card

I don't normally make gray cards.  I cased this one and do not know who it belongs to.  I love the Petal Palette set.  I am so happy it will be in the new Catalog & Idea Book. I also used the Petal Pair embossing folder.  This is another quick and easy card for you.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Share What You Love kit card

Here is another quick and easy card for any occasion.  This one uses Sweet Sugarplum as the base (A-2) card and the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper.  I cut an oval out of white cardstock and stamped it with the Love What You Do stamp set.  I used the Layering Ovals to cut the black oval.  The ribbon is the Powder Pink Tinsel Trim (retiring).  I think it is gorgeous even though it is my design.   Thanks for stopping by....

Sweet Soiree meets Share What You Love

If you love flowers, you will love Sweet Soiree designer paper from Stampin' Up!.  All this designer paper is in the package (145564).  The stamp is from the new Share What You Love product suite.  This is another quick and easy card.  Actually any designer paper can be used but I highly recommend you get the Sweet Soiree dsp before it sells out.  it retires on May 31.  You can order on my website.  Thanks for looking
