I really love the colors from this big promotion.  I love the stickers and everything that is included in this bundle.  It is not just for making memories.  Even after you make a memory book from it, you have tons of supplies left so why not used them on cards?  That’s what I did here.

This is another card with the Cross my Heart set.  Hope you like it.  I used two of our in-colors with this, which are Pool Party and Calypso Coral, both of which SU is converting to our core colors.  I am so happy because I use these colors all the time.  Actually, out of the in-colors from 2012 we are keeping all of them except Lucky Limeade.  WooWhoo!

Hello Stampers, Even though I will be gone I will try to post every day so you don’t think I fell off the face of the earth.
This card I created with the Cross my Heart stamp set in the Spring Catalog.  I did use this set a lot for Valentines Day but I forgot about it.  I spotted it on the shelf and decided to create a couple of cards with it so you can get some ideas of what to do with it.

I used Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango & soft suede to water color these flowers and used my Aqua Painters.  Hope you like the effect.

I know you must be sick of hearing me say how much I love this Tea for Two DSP.  But it is soooo pretty.  Every single sheet is gorgeous!  I have already gone through 3 1/2 packs of it.  I also love to use this Honeycomb embossing folder with this paper.

I wanted to try my hand at cutting out the Fabric for this dress with the Big Shot.  I actually had to design a blouse to go with the jumper from the pop up Bigz XL Die.  I have so much of this beautiful fabric and I really need to start using it.  I hope you were one of the lucky ones that picked up this gorgeous fabric at 50% off in March.

This time with some butterflies thrown in.  This is one of those stamp sets that lends itself to using markers on the stamps instead of an ink pad.

This stamp set is getting to be my ‘go to’ set lately.  It is soooo much fun to play with.  I am so hoping that SU carries it over to the new catty.  I would love it if you like this stamp set and this card to click on the COMMENT under this posting and let me know what you think.  Hugs, Patti

Okay, this card I made using the supplies from the “THIS AND THAT KIT”.  You can purchase this bundled kit at a discount now until April 30th.  After that it will not show up again until it make the June 1st catalog.  However, you will pay the full price then.  I wanted you to see that you can always use any of our kits for cards as well as scrapping books.  I used the washi tape, the stickers and the Designed Series Paper.  Love it!

I stamped using Soft suede on the window sheet and then inserted the sea horse in back of it to make it appear that he is hiding from the lobster.  I also used the Fancy Fan embossing folder on our Pool Party Core’dinations Card stock.  Then I used the sanding block on it to expose the lighter core under the card stock.  Hope you  like it.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

You could use this card for Mother’s Day if she loves flowers.  I wanted to use More Mustard because we will be losing this color at the end of May.  I bet a lot of you will be sad to see it go.

What is great about these flowers is you do not have to fussy cut them.  Just use the framelits dies meant to go with the stamp set, Secret Garden.   Talk about easy to create!

This stamp set is so stinkin’ cute!  It is called “Bootiful Occasions” and can be used in many of the Holidays including Spring, Halloween, Christmas, and also in a cowboy theme.  I love that it even include sentiments.

Do you love giving flowers to your Mom?  I can remember when I was a kid (boy that’s a LONG time ago), LOL, that I used to pick the dadelions in the lawn and bring them into my Mom and she always made such a big deal over them. I will begin posting lots of Flower cards so you can get ideas for Mother’s Day coming up soon.  You can change the sentiments on a lot of them while still keeping the flower design for Mother.

Created this card to showcase some of our gorgeous colors, notice how the markers match the card stock perfectly!  Used our silver Dazzling Details to spruce up the center of the flowers!

Have you tried using this card stock yet?  It is sooooo cool.  You can use the emboss resist technique with it without having to emboss and use a heat tool.  This time I used Island Indigo ink.

Two of my favorite colors together.  I keep trying to think about how these flags & banners got so popular, and why we didn’t think of this 4-5 yrs ago.  Do you think this posting looks like Island Indigo?  I do have a very good camera, I just don’t know how to use it.  Feel free to comment.

Don’t ask me how the left side of this card got blurred, but it could have been because I was drinking water while I was posting and may have dropped some on the card, usually, it ends up on the front of me…..LOL…but you got the idea right?   This stamp set with the matching framelits is HOT!

This is one of those cards that you realize you made a mistake on it and then you have to fix it because “There are no mistakes in Stampin”……RIGHT?  I am going to let you try to guess where the ooops is on this card.    BTW, this is the ‘Oh, Hello’ stamp set that we will be using in my class.  You are going to love it!

I just love this stamp set.  If you are on the fence about signing up for my “Oh, Hello” class, just look at all the cards I have posted using this set.  More to come.

I ran this card through the Big Shot with the largest framelits die to make the card.  I folded the uncut card stock in half and left part of the fold line away from the framelits cutting line, so that it would not completely cut the entire card.  Now the card opens from the top.

I wish I could think of a good April Fools joke to play on y’all but I am partly brain dead this evening.  If I wasn’t in such a hurry to get these cards preposted, I would have stuck a candle in the watermelon.  I wonder if that would pass as an April Fools day joke?

I think a man would like this card even though it has a bow on it because the ribbon is frayed and it has a Chevron background.  What do you think?

This technique is called Crayon Resist and it is done by rubbing a crayon over the images, stamped on Glossy Card Stock, and then applying color to images.  After which you take a piece of paper towel or cloth and rub the images.  The color resists the areas where the crayon was.
