I made this card for Mothers day. Inside is the sentiment “so he made you. Now isn’t that perfect for Mama? Clean and Simple, CAS.
The stamp set is from Flourishing Phrases, page 24 in the AC. The image is made using the glimmer paper from Myths & Magic, page 37 in the OC. The dies, Flourish Thinlits, can be found on page 216 of the AC. I layered the whisper white CS front with basic black CS over our thick whisper white CS.
This card was created from the set, Fruit Basket, page 29 of the Occasional catalog. The fruit was stamped and cut out with the matching punches, Itty Bitty Punch pack, same page. I used the layering Square Framelits, page 214 of the Annual catalog to cut out the bases for the fruit. The DSP is from the Pick a Pattern, pg 188.
I used Emerald Envy CS for the backing of the sentiment and Squares. The Glitter enamel Dots, page 196, were used to embellish the sentiment. The doilies have been retired which I did not realized until I finished the card. So sorry, I hate when that happens.
Both the set and the punch pack can be purchased through the end of May with a 10% discount and after that, both will be retired.
It is always good to have these cards on hand. I thought this sentiment could be used for with a sympathy card or a get well card. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Flourishing Phrases, page 24 of the annual catalog. The thinlit dies for this set can be found on pg 216, Flourishing Thinlits. This set has 15 different sentiments with beautiful images. It is a 2 pack set that is totally awesome.
I used Whisper White CS and the Turquoise Glimmer paper, found on page 37 of the Occasional catalog In addition, I used the adhesive backed multipurpose sheets, pg 203, AC, to attach the images to the CS. I colored the Rhinestones with a black sharpie.
I love this stamp set, found on page 27 of the Occasions catalog. It is another one of those awesome sets that you can bundle and receive 10% discount until the end of May. Both the set and dies are being carried over to the new catalog in June but they will not be bundled with a discount. Good time to invest in the set and save some money.
I used the embossing folder, Petal Burst, page 210 in the Annual catalog, for the background on Very Vanilla CS. The colors I used on the card are Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede. I used silver foil sheets, pg 194 to die cut the Cross. My card base is Crumb cake. Hope you like it!
If you want to make sure you get these dies for this card, you will have to order them by the end of May because they are retiring. So sad. Some of my favs. I used the stamp set Waterfront with this card and it is found on page 48 of the Occasions catalog.
This set is so versatile. For those of you, like me, living at the coast, the palm trees are especially awesome! Here I used a fall theme, only because our warm weather was so late getting to us. However, finally it has arrived, and I hope not to have our temps go below 80 from now until the end of Summer.
I used the DSP, Wood Textures, page 187 in the annual catalog, which by the way is not retiring. Woot, woot! I used the window sheets, pg 194 and the Glitter enamel dots, pg 196.
On this card, I used the die cuts,Rainbow Builder Framelits dies, page 33 of the Occasion catalog. You can save 10% right now until the end of May if you combine both the stamp set and the dies. I used the sentiment from the set, Lift me Up, pg 58. The background is Soft Sky CS which I am afraid is retiring along with the set and dies. I also used Wink of Stella, not retiring, pg 200.
Another card made with the set Magical Day, pg 37, OC. Here I colored the Unicorn with Berry Burst marker and Pink Pirouette blender. I outline the clouds and unicorn in light Pool Party Blender. I cut out the embellishments from the Magical Framelit dies, glimmer paper, and Washi tape, all on same page to finish off the card. I love the whimsical look and hope you like it too. The sentiment is from Sprinkles of Life, pg 78 AC.
I really love this set, Picture Perfect Birthday, pg 5 of the OC. It is so versatile. As you can see from previous postings I have gotten a lot of use from this set. I used the embossing folder, Simple Stripes Textured Impressions for the back ground and rolled LemonLime Twist Ink over the embossing folder before sending it through the Big Shot. I also used the beautiful 1/4″ Ombre Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, pg 198 of the AC. In addition, I used the Light Green Glimmer paper, pg 37, OC backing the Stitched Shapes circle, pg 214, AC. Colors used in the image were Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist.
On this card, I used 2 stamp sets, Waterfront, pg 48 of the OC and Colorful Season, pg 147 in the AC. I used the Layering Oval framelits, pg 213, AC to highlight the Palm Trees in the Waterfront set. I used Tranquil Tide ink, Crumb Cake and Marina Mist for the water. The sentiment if from Colorful Seasons and the Beach chair is cut out with the matching Seasonal Layers, pg 216 AC. Both of these sets work very well together.
I got the idea for this card from another Demostrator, Priscilla Ivler, from Stampin’ Connection. Thank you Priscella for your inspiration.
I did change the card around a little. I used the DSP Myths & Magic, pg 37 of the OC. The stamp set is Magical Day, same page. In addition, I fussy cut the soldier from the DSP. I used the dies, same page, to cut out the Dragon and the Mermaid. The sentiment is embossed in white on the DSP paper. I used the Brick embossing folder, page 210 AC, for the background. To color the images, I used Light and dark Blends. pg 30 OC, Pool Party on the Dragon and Night of Navy & Ivory on the mermaid. I layered Rich Razzelberry CS in back of the brick.
This is one of my favorite techniques when designing cards with Flowers. For this card I used the set Amazing You pg 16 of the SAB catalog. I stamped the image in Tranquil Tide and then colored it with pool party. I then used a blender pen to blend in the tranquil tide ink already on the flower. I fussy cut just the top of the flower out and glued it on top of the original image. I added a Gold faceted Gem, pg 197 AC. I used the Stitched Framelits to cut out the whisper white CS, page 214 AC and the regular Oval Framelits, same page, for the Crushed curry CS. The DSP is Whole Lot of Lovely, pg 188 AC. Celebrate is cut out with the Big Shot, pg 209 AC and the die used is from the SAB catalog, page 17. The Stamp set you can get FREE with a $50 purchase and the Framelits you can get FREE for a $100 purchase in product from either the Annual Catalog or the Occasions catalog.
I love this set and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. The stamps, Magical Day, page 37 of the OC and the matching Framelit Dies, Magical Mates, can be purchased as a bundle saving 10% for both. I designed this card using the Myths & Magic DSP, same page, and colored the images with our new Blends, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay, pg 30. In addition, I used Rich Razzleberry ink for the sentiment. This is another one of those stamp sets and matching dies that you will have so much fun using. Hope you like it.
I created this card using our new Brushos, pg 26, and the new stamp set, Beautiful Day, same page. I used Watercolor paper, pg 194 and Frog Tape (non SU) to mask off the edges and create a border. I then embossed the butterfly with our copper embossing powder, page 201 of the AC, and then added the Prussian Blue & Moss Green Brusho to the butterfly. The In addition, I cut out the sentiment with the Thinlit Dies, Celebrate You, in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, pg17 using our Copper foil, page 194 of the AC. Before adding the sentiment I spritzed the paper (with the mask still attached) with water and then sprinkled Yellow and Moss green Brusho to the background of the card. Please contact me if you need further instructions.
I always feel that SU does not have enough St Pat’s stamps, but as long as they have the sentiment, Happy St. Patrick’s Day in the Teeny Tiny Wishes, page 36 of the AC, I am happy to improvise. In this card I used the Party Pandas, page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog. The DSP is from the Whole Lot of Lovely, pg 188 AC. Car Stock is Whisper White, both regular and thick. The Shamrock is made from Tranquil Tide CS.
I have already used this set so much. It is so awesome and so versatile. You can find it on pg 32 of the OC. It also has the matching framelits Dies (same page) and if you combine them both you can get a 10% discount on the bundle. It contains 19 dies and is such a fun bundle, I used Early Espresso, silver foil for the bottle caps and burlap ribbon. The DSP is True Gentlemen, pg 45 of the OC. In addition, I used Tranquil Tide for the sentiment and stamping the stars.
I got the idea for this card from a demonstrator, Donna Wicks. The Bamboo is cut from DSP, Color Theory Design paper stack, pg 187 AC. The stamp set is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, pg 15 Party Pandas. I used Very Vanilla CS and the tall grass is from the set, Fabulous Flamingo, pg 177 in the AC. I used Old Olive and Basic Black Archival Ink. Thank you Donna for the inspiration.
It is always a good idea to keep a Sympathy card on hand in case you need it. I thought that this set, Waterfront, pg 48 of the OC, was suitable to this type of card. I used shimmery paper for the images and the DSP is Delightful Daisy pg 189 in the AC. Colors used were Tranquil Tide, Smokey Slate and pool party. The stamps give the images a watercolor look which is what I love about the set.
This set, Half Full #144999, is a set designed by a demonstrator who just hit her Million dollar in sales, Linda Bauwin. Congratulations to Linda! I love the set and soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. I used whisper white cs and colored the background with Soft Sky. I used Rich Razzleberry for the wine and Crumb Cake for the rest. The images were stamped with Memento Black because the stamping’ blends are alcohol based markers. Also, I used Smoky Slate watered down for the shadowing. Hope you like it.
This is turning out to be one of my favs. The set, Magical Day, pg 37 in the OC, with matching framelits dies can be bought together as a bundle thereby saving 10% on the cost. I used the Myths & Magic DSP on same page and I used Stampin’ Blends, page 31 OC, in Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Smoky Slate and Bermuda Bay. I plan on using this set a lot since it has matching dies and there is no fussy cutting. Hoot Hoot!
This set, Bubble over, page 32 OC, is so much fun to play with. There are 17 stamps to the set and the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits have 19 dies. You can buy this set as a bundle and get 10% off. I used Shimmery White CS, pg 194 in the AC. I also used Brusho, pg 26 OC, sprinkled on the background and then spritzing it lightly with water. Ink color is Dapper Denim.
Talk about a masculine card. This set, Truly Tailored, pg 45 of the OC is by far the best choice for man cards. From Birthdays to Father’s Day to just love you Dad days. You can get this set with a discount by purchasing the bundle, set and matching punch same page. AND the DSP is to die for, also on pg 45. You can even fussy cut some of the images out of the DSP and add them as embellishments to your card. So versatile that you will get many uses from this Suite that keeps on giving.
This set is turning out to be one of my go to sets from the OC, Picture Perfect Birthday, page 5. I used the Stamparatus to perfectly place the images and the colors I used were Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pacific Point. The background paper is from the DSP Stack Tutti Frutti 6X6, page 29 of the OC. I used both Whisper White regular and Heavy card stock for my base card.
This is one of my favorite Thinlit sets, Celebrate you pg17, from SAB. I embossed the butterfly, from Beautiful Day, pg 26 OC, with Copper embossing powder. I used watercolor paper and filled the image with water. I then sprinkled Brusho color, pg 20 OC, on the water and used an aqua painter to move the color around. Colors I used were Brilliant Red, Yellow and Gamboge. After the image was dried, I sprinkled yellow on the front of the card and gently spritzed with water to provide the background. I selected Basic Black card stock for the sentiment and cut it out with the Big shot, pg 209 of the AC. Multipurpose adhesive sheets, pg 203, AC, were used to adhere the sentiment to the card front.

The ribbon is Love Mini Tinsel, same page, and the card base is Thick Whisper White. Colors I used were Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.

I used Myths & Magic, glimmer paper, page 37 OC, for the sentiment. I embellished with Glitter enamel dots, page 196 AC. In addition, I used the SU Blends, page 30, OC, to color the images.
I love fruit and both of these are my favs. I created this card with the stamp set, Fruit Basket, pg 29 of the OC. The DSP is Is Tutti-frutti, same page. I punched the strawberries out with the matching punch, Itty Bitty fruit pack, also same page. Colors I used were Berry Burst and old olive. Card stock is whisper white and berry burst.
Here I covered a pizza box (carried over from the Holiday catalog – Mini pizza boxes (8) use product code 44645, $6.00) with the DSP Painted with Love, page 19 of the OC. I put this on the sides and top of the box. We made this at Camp on Saturday and everyone fell in love with this DSP. I used the Ombre ribbon, page 198, in the AC.

For the base card I used Thick Whisper white and the front I used our regular Whisper White card stock, both found on pg 194 AC.
It is my first born’s birthday today. She is such an incredible person and I wanted to use this space to tell her so. What an AMAZING cook she is. I just spent time with her in TN and she cooked me the most incredible gourmet meals.
I used Brusho on this card. This time I shook the Brusho out on a large block and then spritzed with water to create this background. I moved the card stock over the block and picked up color from the block. I loved the way it came out. I used Brusho Yellow, Gamboge, and Brilliant Red colours.
I colored the flowers from the stamp set, Amazing You, page 16 of the SAB catalog, with our SU markers, Calypso Coral and Peek-a-boo Peach, and Daffodil delight, and Crushed Curry. The embellishments in the flowers centers are Gold faceted Gems.
