This card is call a gate fold card. It is a little labor intensive so I won’t be making many more of these for a while. I used Cajun Craze ink on the composition specialty DSP and colored the clay buttons with vanilla craft ink.
This is the first time that I have used this stamp set. I used the chalk talk set and framelit also. In addtion, I used punches for the Sentiment. How do you like this new In-Color, Coastal Cabana?
I used the Venetian Romance DSP and Chalk Talk stamp set and framelits. In addition, I used Washi Tape and our new Chevron Basic Black Ribbon. I created the flower from our Creped Filter paper stamped with Flower Shop & punched with the new pansy punch.
I found these leaves at a store where they were selling chocolate molds and thought if you can make candy with them, why not clay? Anyway, I was quite happy with the way they turned out. How do you like them? Just another opportunity to used our clay. Now I am looking for others.
This is another card created using our circle punches. The original designer of this card is Carol Payne. Another card I received through a swap at Leadership this year, however, I did change the sentiment. Thank you Carol for your inspiration.
Hope y’all enjoy the day and stay safe if you are celebrating with fireworks today!
I used the new Embossing Folder Alphabet Press and the DSP is Birthday Basics. The sentiment is from Yippee Skippee.
This is one of the cards that I used for a make & take at my hostess appreciation party. I used Simply Pressed clay dyed with Crisp Cantelope ink refill & rubbing alcohol. DSP is Venetian Romance.
I cased this card from a demonstrator at Leadership. Her name is Myrna Miller. I just changed the colors,the background, and sentiment. Thanks Myrna for the inspiration. The sentiment is from the set Yippee Skippee and the little puppy was created using our punches.
You asked “what is Paper Pumpkin”
I think it is hard to tell but the card stock that I used for the base is our new Smokey Slate. I also used it in the sentiment and in the flower embellishment. For some reason my camera hasn’t been taking very good pictures lately. Or maybe it’s the photographer (me) that doesn’t know how to use it. LOL
Love this stamp set, it is on page (82) in the new catalog.
I designed this card from a sample by another demonstrator who used the quatrefoil window sheet and DSP on her card in the manner that I cased below. However, I did change what went on the card. I wish I could remember her name so I could give her credit. Thank you for the inspiration.

This stamp is actually an image that I removed from the jumbo wheel (page 11) so that I could use it like a stamp and color the candles with our markers. Very easy to do and SU sells the Clear Mount Cling foam backing (page 197) to convert them. Notice the really cool image that you get by applying our foam to the back of the stamp.
I used our new Candy Dots on this card created with the stamp set “A Dozen Thoughts”. They come in all of our core colors. These are from the Brights and Neutrals. Incredibly well priced. I also used the beautiful Venetian Romance DSP.
I created this card with the set Wetlands and the sentiment is from Really good Greetings. If that sounds familiar, I designed another card with the same sets a couple of days ago. Lots that you can do with either of these sets.
This little guy is so cute. He is from the set, Storybook Friends. I thought this was a great opportunity for me to use the new Square Framelit dies that are new this year. You can find them on Page 186.
I created this card using the new background stamp Wildflower Meadow (page 83). SU is selling this stamp as a bundle with the matching embossing folder, same name (page 191) for a 15% discount. However, I did not use the EF on this card.
This is a new stamp set on page 69 and I had to have it because I live in the Low Country where we have tons of beautiful marshes and and birds. I thought this would make a nice masculine card. The sentiment is from Really Good Greetings, also in the new catalog.
Okay, I know that’s what you are wondering…. Well, I entered a private Christmas swap for Salt Lake City Convention in July and was searching for Christmas stamps that I could use. Although, some did get carried over from last year’s Holiday catalog, they are ones that I have used over and over and am not looking forward to using them again so soon.
New Christmas stamps don’t come out until August in the Holiday mini and I didn’t want to wait for them, even though we (Demos) can get them the 1st of July. So, after I made this card, I realized this was way too labor intensive and I was not going to do 16 of them for the swap. I contacted the person, that organized the swap, and dropped out of the Christmas swap. They usually have a long list of people waiting to get in, if someone drops, so I wasn’t worried about leaving a blank space.
I created this card with the new Chalk Talk Stamp Set and matching Framelits. The designed paper is from Venetian Romance, one of my favorite packs of DSP. I love the new Chevron ribbon. Here it is in Island Indigo.

The stamps are from Backyard basics and then cut out with the Backyard basics framelits. So easy to work with now that we have the magnetic Platform. Love the colors, Mellow Mambo and Gumball green. Bird is colored with Smoky Slate, one of our new core colors.
I love this new Chalk Talk Bundle. It has the most awesome framelits to cut out all the senitment stamps in this set (page 12). The postage stamps are from the hostess set “Postage Collection” that you can get by hosting a $150 workshop. Contact me HERE to find out more.
I just love these new pansies and the punch. It is sooo easy to make beautiful bouquets with them.
This is another card for Dad that I created with the Soho Subway DSP for Father’s Day. The Lord took my Dad on Father’s Day many years ago and it is comforting to know that he started his journey of eternal life with the Lord on that special day!
You can never have enough birthday cards stashed away for that special friend or family member. This is what I call a CAS card. Easy peasy to make. Used our new washi tape to create this card (page 171) and our new molding clay (page 167). Sentiment is from Delightful Dozen.
I wanted to show off the beautiful designer papers in the Venetian Romance pack along with the fancy new in-c0lor ribbon. This ribbon is stretchable and you get tons of it on a roll. It comes in all the new 2013-2015 in-colors. Also, the sentiment and the cut out label is from the new Chalk Talk bundle. So cool!
The background on this card was created using the new jumbo wheel, Shop Around. In addition, I used the new framelits, backyard Basics to cut out the tulips from the set also named Backyard Basics.
What does this remind you of? I know have a Starbucks gift card in the house somewhere and I guess I will treat my self to something special for my birthday! Cut the sentiment out with the Artisan punch (new). Don’t you just love this new color Baked Brown Sugar? This set lends itself well to masculine cards, don’t cha think?
I created this card with the new set Flower Shop and the new Pansy punch. Also new colors, Crisp Cantelope and Bermuda Bay. In addition, I used the new molding clay and colored the inside if the flower with Crisp Cantelope. You can make the new soft molding clay any color you want using our reinkers.
I wanted to show you a variety of the beautiful papers in the pack of Modern Medley DSP in the new catalog. Of course, this is also the NEW HEXAGON PUNCH that you can find on page 180.
SU really outdid themselves with this new catalog in the DSP section. There are so many lovely papers to select from. This is, of course, one of my favorites. The catalog has just been released and I am already on my second pack of Gingham Garden.
I created this card with the Soho Subway DSP that I absolutely love. The whole pack has gorgeous papers that are inspiring and easy to create all kinds of cards with, especially masculine.
Another CAS which as you know I do not do very often. However, I really like the way this turned out.
