I just love all the templates that SU has come out with to add another dimension to our already fantastic stamps and punches.  Gotta get your hands on all of them, they are so much fun to work with.

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.

I got the idea for this card from a video posted by SU demonstrator, Daleen Pinder.  She used the Border Score guide that comes with the new Simply Scored Border Plate, to draw the line from the butterfly.  Although she demonstrated a technique on her card, I changed it a bit using punches and vellum CS on mine.  Hope you like it.

I made this card with our new photopolymer stamp set that SU just came out with.  It is so easy to stamp because you can see through them and you know exactly where to place the stamp.  You won’t need the stamp-a-ma-jig for these stamps!  So Cool!

We will be making this as our 3D project for Stamp camp this month on the 16th.  I have changed the date because I wanted y’all to be able to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration which ends on March 22nd this year.  Hope to see you there.  Space is limited so registration is required.  Thanks to Patricia Giesbrecht, a Stampin’ Demonstrator for this idea.

09. March 2013 · Comments Off on Great Masculine card! · Categories: Cards, Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , ,

This card was made with the canvas shown in our spring catalog on page 21.  I love stamping on canvas……however, what I probably won’t try to do again on canvas, is water color the image….talk about labor intensive…..I wasn’t going to post this, but then again I spent so much time on it that I needed to post it, just to get some satisfaction for my time. LOL
If you will note that I stamped the image with black stazon because I wanted to water color it.  But I stamped the sentiment in basic gray classic ink using a marker and was really surprised in how clear the sentiment came out.  In addition, I love these new buttons, on page 20, because you can use the thicker ribbon with them.

Of course you know everything used on this card is either from the Spring mini or SAB.  The gorgeous flowers come in the Artisan Embellishment kit found on page 10 of the Spring catalog.  You can make tons of cards from this little kit just by adding the card stock.  You don’t even need a stamp if you want to use the LOVE in it. LOL

Such a buy for $9.95.
