This is one of the cards we made at my Wednesday morning club.  I used the color Tip Top Taupe.  The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso.  The washi tape is from Sweet Li’l Things, page 157.  I wasn’t kidding when I told you that I loved this stamp set and would be using it a lot.  I think this is the 4th card I made with that set this week, guess I’m on a roll.  LOL

The image on this card is from Skating By, page 44 in the new AC.  There are so many really cool images in this set, I can’t wait to use them all.   I cut the balloons out of colored card stock with the dies from Cutie Pie Thinlits, page 171.  I added linen thread and used Pacific Point CS for my base card.  I used our markers to color the image.

12. July 2015 · Comments Off on Epoxy Heart · Categories: Cards · Tags: , ,

This image is from the set, You’re Sublime, page 45 in the new AC.  I used Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, smokey slate and Sahara sand.  I used the Brights DSP stack for the background and whisper white CS.  The ribbon is Pink Pirouette Seam Binding and the 1/4″ cotton Melon Mambo.  I think this card turned out to be very colorful.  I used the clear Itty Bitty Epoxy heart sticker on the red heart.
I got the epoxy heart idea from Dawn Olchefske’s video.  And to be honest, until I watched her video, I didn’t even realize there was a heart in with all the flowers.  LOL

I created this card from the set, Hey, Girl, page 45 of the New AC.  This is the cutest set.  There is even a little scottie dog that I can’t wait to make a card with.  I needed a birthday card last week so I whipped this up.  I used the Subtles DSP stack for the background and used our new Whisper White Thick card stock for the card base.  I am in love with that CS and have already gone through 2 packages.  You can find that on page 149.

This set, Awesomely Artistic is going to be used a lot because it is so versatile.  I again used a mono-chromatic style stamped on the DSP, Timeless Elegance, found on page 143 of the new catalog.  This DSP is so beautiful I am tempted to hoard it.  It really is perfectly named it is so elegant.

This is one of those stamps that I like to keep close by for when one of my friends or family member is not feeling well.  I can whip it out in a jiffy.  A card with this stamp will always bring a smile to the recipient.  This is a single wood mounted stamp on page 23 of the new AC.  We made this card at last month’s stamp camp.  Hope you like it.

I love this new set of fruits and vegetables.  It has been a long time since we had images like these and these are great because they already contain a sentiment.  I embossed the background with our new Brick wall EF, page 174 and then highlighted the grout with the white gel pen found on page 163.  I sponged it with Soft Suede.  Colors I used on the image were Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.  I used the oval collection framelits, page 173, to cut out the brick wall.

I think that this set Awesomely Artistic, page 125 in the new AC, has taken over as my fav.  I used Tip Top Taupe and Early Espresso for a mono-chromatic look.  The DSP is from the Neutral DSP Stack.  A very Simple layout.

This little wren is so stinkin’ cute.  I stamped him on Whisper White Card Stock and did the background in Pool Party.  I also used the Pool Party from the Subtles DSP stack and Soft Suede for the card Base.  I added the sequins to finish it off.

You are going to see a lot of this set, From Land to Sea, page 83 in the new AC.  Because I live so close to the coast, I love using sea life on my cards.  It feels like I am sending a bit of the ocean to the recipient and I can really relate to that.  Here, I used water color paper and embossed the Jelly fish with white EP.  I used the white gel pen to highlight the movement of water.  I used one of our new stencils (Decorative masks) page 157 on the card base.  Colors I used for water coloring the background was Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo and Night of Navy.

Hah!  That sounds like it could be a new SU color.  I took the large E Block and added Bermuda Bay and Marina Mist, spritzed with with water and stamped it on the Whisper White card stock to get a washed technique for the background.  I then used white Stazon for the Bokeh technique with a round sponge dauber. I used Rich Razzelberry on the grapes and Mossy Meadow on the leaves.

The name of this set is An Open Heart and can be found on page 25 in the new AC.  This is also the bird of South Carolina.  The main reason I got this set.  However, I do love the sentiments.  The inside of this card is stamped, “So hard to find the Words.”  Perfect for a sympathy card, depending on the sentiment you choose.  I used an aqua painter with our classic inks to color the bird and the branch.  I love this new corrugated paper for backing the main focal point.

I love this set and couldn’t wait to get it so I could play with it.  Here I stamped it in Lost Lagoon and Tip Top Taupe.  There are actually 3 pieces that make up this butterfly and so simple to put together.  You can get this set as part of your hostess benefits if you have a workshop of $150 or a book party of $150.  It is located on page 180 og the new AC.

I love, love, love this stamp set found on page 83.  It is so awesome!  It has the best images and so easy to create a card with.  It can also be masculine as well as any occasion.  You can use it with our set, By the Tide too.
I colored the background on Whisper White paper after masking the fish.  I used the white gel pen to accent the water and the sentiment and banner is from Endless Thanks, page 14 of the AC.  I finished off the card with DSP, English Garden, Night Of Navy Seam Binding and Blossom Elements, page 160.  Contact me here if you need more information.

This set, Work of Art, carried over from last year and it is one of my favs.  I used the Bitty Butterfly punch and cut out one each in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Cucumber Crush and Pacific Point.  The sentiment is from Endless Birthday Wishes, page 6.  I used both Whisper White card stock, regular and heavy.  Just love our new white heavy CS for card bases.  It is the best!

This set can be found on page 45 of the new AC.  It is so whimsical and stinkin’ cute!  I love all the images.  I used shimmery card stock and water washed the back ground with Island Indigo and Rich Razzleberry.  The toads are colored with Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede with an aqua painter.  I distressed the edges and used the new corrugated paper found on page 148.  Hope you like it.

This stamp set can be found on page 86.  I am so happy that SU decided to change around our Nature animals because I just love this set.  I was getting a little tired of the noble Moose that they carried for so long.  I especially love this Pointer.  The next card I make with this beautiful animal I think I will incorporate the duck with it.  I didn’t use watercolor paper on this, just our regular whisper white.  I used pool party as the background with Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand for the pooch.  The papers I used are Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaroon, Soft Suede and the DSP is English Garden, page 142.  I also used our new Lots of Labels, page 173.  They are so awesome!

This set can be found on page 6 of the new AC.  It is so versatile with all the different sentiments.  Can be used for any type birthday or celebration for that matter.  I used the new in-color Mint Macaron and the In-color DSP paper stack. This set was so popular and sold out so fast when it first came out.  I am so glad they carried it over to the new catalog.

This is going to be one of those hostess stamp sets that are going to be so popular.  I know everyone will want to host a $150 book party or workshop just to be able to get this set.  So easy to color.  Here I used watercolor paper and fussy cut it out.  I used our white gel pen to highlight.  The colors I used are Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow.  The ribbon is so beautiful and makes the prettiest bow.  It is also Blackberry Bliss and can be found on page 159 in the AC.
Here I used the new Tags and Labels Framelits, page 173, for the sentiment which comes from Endless Birthday Wishes, page 6.  Background is Elegant Dots embossing folder.

This set is so cool!  I love the little robot and the Lego Building blocks.  I remember my children loved playing with them and building things, in fact, so did I.  This is a great stamp set for children and it is not only for boys, because my children are girls and they loved them.  You can find this set on page 40 of the new AC.
