I really feel like I didn’t use this gorgeous DSP enough and now that it is retiring, I am scrambling to use it, especially since I have sooooo much of it. It lends itself to vintage technique that I am so fond of.
I have really enjoyed using this stamp set with the matching punch. There is so much variety with 11 stamps in this set. You can purchase this after June 1st from the new catalog.
This card was created using the embossing folders on page 5 of the Spring catalog. I sponged the card with Soft suede ink.
As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!
As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we’re including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.
You will be able to get this set FREE by hosting a party in your home or mine after June 1st. You are going to love all the beautiful free stuff you can get in the new catalog. I love the washi tape. Contact me to get yours.
This is another one of those hostess sets you are going to be able to get FREE hosting a workshop or a book party from the new catalog. Just lovely images! Also there will be a pansy punch in the new catalog that cuts out this blossom perfectly! Are you getting excited yet?
I want to wish every Mother out there a wonderful Day filled with love and family!
I just realized how much I have gone to this background paper for Mother’s Day. It is amazing how much the background changes when the base card color is changed.
We just traveled to TN for my Granddaughter’s First Holy Communion and this is a card I made especially for it.
This is a card I designed for the Artisan Design Team contest and then decided I didn’t like it well enough to enter it. What do you think?
I created this card with a new Hostess set to be released in the new catalog coming out in June. This set has so many beautiful images that you can water color. I just love it! In addition, this is the new DSP called Gingham Garden.
These flowers are also from the secret Garden collection. You can get them with the dies in a bundle and save some money. Page 17 in the Spring Catalog.
This set was part of a bundle that I got for free from SU for being a Manager. It came with the embossing folder, matching DSP, and the coolest matching punch. Love it!
I love vintage and you know if you follow me that it is one of my favorite techniques. This color is summer starfruit and I love how it looks when it is sponged with Soft suede.
Love this paisley DSP that comes in the Print Poetry book on page 16 of the Spring Catalog.
I am going to be posting some cards that you can copy for Mother’s day. Hope you like them. Hugs, Patti
This is a little sneek peek at one of our new stamps and matching embossing folders that will be sold as a bundle, if you prefer, in the new catalog to be released on June 1st.
This is one of the colors we will be saying Goodbye to in June. I really never used it much. It is one of those colors that is not quite dark enough and not quite light enough for me.
You can get this set with various sentiments by hosting a workshop or a book party. It cannot be purchased but is one of the sets offered as hostess benefits. I love all the various sentiments and they all go with “wishing you a”…. I used the bird builder punch and the big shot on this card.
This is one of those sets that are being retired. As you know I will be selling all my retired sets as of May 1st. So anything you see that you may be interested in, please put it on your list and check with me first to see if I have it before paying the full price for it online.
I love using this little sizzlet whale die. It is so stinkin cute. Since this card is made with Melon Mambo, I know just the little girl I am going to send this to.
I embossed this in black and used More Mustard, Daffodil Delight and Elegant Eggplant inks. I am finding lots of images to color with More Mustard now that it is going to be gone in June.LOL
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.
This paper is great for resist technique. No need to emboss as it is already embossed. Just add ink by sponging, daubers, or a brayer and the results are so striking! Love this card stock. It is sold on page 162 of the Big catalog.
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.
