Lovely As a Tree, page 130, is such a great stamp set and I hope Shelli keeps her word and NEVER retires this set. I used it here in the background. I masked the truck to add the trees. Stamp set used is Country Livin’ page 131. Colors used are Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Old Olive. The banner is from the stamp set, Birthday Banners, page 15 and the Guy Greetings, page 114. This is great masculine card. You can find the Framelits, Bunch of Banners on page 193.
I created this card with the sets, Seaside Shore, page 93 and You’re Sublime, page 80. In addition, I used the light house found in the set From Land to Sea, page 98. Colors I used are Marina Mist, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Pink Pirouette.
The sentiment is from the set, Endless Birthday Wishes, Page 22. I used Vellum card stock, Marina Mist and Heavy Whisper White card stock.
We made this at our camp on Saturday and everyone loved it. How can you not love a little critter like this? Colors I used are Calypso Coral and Pool party. The images are stamped from the set, Foxy Friends, page 57. I cut the window out with our new layered circle framelits, page 193. The paper is from A Little Foxy DSP 6″ X 6″ paper stack, page 174. I finished it off with the new 5/8″ burlap ribbon, page 178.
The sentiment from this set can be found on page 93. I decided to create this card using the beautiful DSP, By the Shore, page 173. I used Calypso Coral card stock and Mint Macaron 3/8″ sheer linen ribbon, page 178. This is one of those cards that I consider a CAS (clean and simple).
This was one of the cards we made at camp this past Saturday. I used very vanilla card stock and stamped the background with our Watercolor wash stamp, page 124 in pink pirouette. I used the washi tape, playful palette found on page 179. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Tin of Cards, page 86. I cut the flowers and leaves out in pink pirouette, Sweet Sugarplum, and basic black Card Stock with the Botanical Builder Framelits, page 194.
The stamp set used on this card is the hostess set, Love you lots, page 199. The DSP is the beautiful Paper, Fruit Stand, page 173. One of my favs in the new catalog. I used the beautiful very vanilla lace trim, page 179 and the Pearl Basic Jewels, page 177. I cut the ovals out with our new layered oval Framelits, page 193. The colors I used were Watermelon Wonder and Basic Black.
This little racoon was made with the awesome stamp set, Foxy Friends, page 57 and the matching punch, Fox Builder, page 188. You can make all kinds of critters with this punch. You can get both the stamp set and the punch in a bundle with a 10% discount. A great deal. I also used the stamp set My Hero, page 209, which is the Ronald McDonald Charities set. SU donates a portion of sales of this set to the RMHC. Many images in this set go with our punches and dies. Colors I used on this card besides Basic Black are Mint Macaron and Emerald Envy.
I love this set, Seaside Shore, found on page 93. I used our Wink of Stella glimmer pen on the fish. There are no dies with this set but the fish are really easy to cut out, which is what I did here. I used Dapper Denim ink and card stock for the top of the base card.
I created this card for the SUO #153 Challenge. The challenge was to create a black and white card with a pop of color. I used the wink of stella glimmer pen, page 181, tinted with Flirty Flamingo.
I Got this idea from France Martin. According to France, there is always a little glimmer left in the pen so after you use up the clear glimmer, you add several drops of ink refill to the barrel of the pen and then add rubbing alcohol. Give it a little shake and you have colored shimmer. In addition, I used the In-Color enamel shapes, page 177.
The Stamp set I used is Best Birds, page 53. I combined several dies, Swirly Scribbles and Flourish Thinlits on this card. Hope you like it.
Can’t stop using the in-colors on my projects. I really love all the in-colors this year and they go well with some of last years colors. I designed this card with the set, Build a birthday, page 25. I used the in-colors, Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder and Crushed curry on Whisper White card stock. I layered it with Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron is the base card. In addition, I used a white gel pen to highlight and add a border. I finished off the card with In-color enamel Shapes, page 177.
I created this card from the stamp set, Wild About Flowers, page 112. I haven’t done this technique in so long I wanted to see if I still remembered how to do it. I took whisper white card stock and stamped the image and then colored it with Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy. I then crinkled up tissue paper into a little ball and then smoothed it out, leaving some of the crinkleness. I then covered the stamped image with glue and layered the tissue paper on top. I really liked how it came out. I did find while doing this that a glue stick works much better for me than the liquid Mono Multi purpose glue, which is quite messy. I know that SU just retired the glue sticks but next time I may try using snail adhesive to see what results they provide. It is important to make sure the image is completely covered in glue.
The DSP used is Pop of Pink, page 172 and embellished with Blushing Bride Sequin Trim, page 178.
I wanted to show the gorgeous DSP, By the Shore, page 173, that is meant to partner with this set, Seaside Shore, page 93. You know I love anything to do with the Sea, I live so close to the beach. Again I cut out small images from the 12X12 DSP and added them to the card in addition to the stamped images. Colors I used were Dapper Denim, Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron.
I know you can feel the happiness in this card. I smile whenever I look at it. It just speaks FUN! don’t you agree? The stamp set is Birthday Fiesta, page 11 and the DSP is called Festive Birthday Designs, page 173. Here I cut out by hand, the little images from one of the DSP sheets included in the pack. Adding these little images to this card gives it a different dimension and adds interest. Card stock colors are Whisper White, Emerald Envy and Tempting Turquoises.
I created this card using the stamp set, Pineapple, page 124. I embossed the image in clear embossing powder on whisper white card stock. I then sponged the areas around the pineapple with Cucumber Crush and Peekaboo Peach creating the resist technique. I blended the very bottom of Peekaboo Peach with Flirty Flamingo to create a little more interest. The stamp for the banner is from the set, Birthday Banners, page 15 and so is the sentiment. It was cut out with the Bunch of Banners framelits, page 193.
This is one of my favorite sets in the new catalog. In This World, page 145 is so awesome! I have made several cards from this one set so I know you believe what I say. Here I used Delightful Dijon on the Chair and Cajun Craze, Early Espresso on the door. This set has many images that really fit into the vintage style that I am so fond of. As if you didn’t know. The DSP can be found on page 174 and is in the Regal paper stack.
I created this card using the stamp set, Build a Birthday, page 25 in the AC. In addition, I used as a background the embossing folder, Elegant Dots, page 195. The inks I used for the candles are Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, and Sweet Sugarplum. I embellished the front with the In color enamel shapes, page 177.
This card was created using sets, Birthday Blooms, page 12 and Butterfly Basics, page 113. I used watercolor paper and colored the flowers with an aqua painter and Crushed Curry ink. The tiny flowers are Cajun Craze. I used Old Olive on the leaves and Basic Black Archival ink. I embellished this card with linen thread, page 179 and Metallic Enamel Shapes, page 177.

I used Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Delightful Dijon on this Card. The embossed area was created with the new embossing folder, Floral Affection, page 195. I added the embellishments, Metal Rimmed Pearls, page 177. Whisper White Card stock on Heavy WW card base.
I love this stamp set called All About Everything. If you were a Paper Pumpkin subscriber you would have rec’d this set free, in addition to the regular monthly kit. One of the perks of subscribing. Not to mention the fun you receive every month directly to your home via mail.
The boots are from the set Country Livin’, page 131 and every thing else is from the Everything set. The splatter is from Gorgeous Grunge, page 123.
The sentiment on this card is from the all inclusive Kit, Watercolor Wishes, page 8-9. I used the Christmas Specialty DSP, page 172, and cut out the images with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, page 194. I used Mint Macaron and Peekaboo peach card stock. I embellished with the Pearl basic jewels and the in-color enamel shapes. I used the layering Ovals Dies, page 193 for the sentiment.
This set, Lovely Stitching, page 98 is one of those set that has so many different images that you could go on forever creating cards with it. This card we made at my hostess clubs this past week and everyone loved it. Hope you do too!
I used the In-Color DSP, page 174, for the background paper and whisper white heavy card stock for the base card and regular whisper white for the top layer. I used colors, Peekaboo Peach and Sahara Sand. I used gorgeous grunge for the background and the In-Color enamel shaped heart, page 177.
I love this set, Bunch of Blossoms, page 69. You can buy this with the matching punch, page 188 for a discount on the bundle. The stamp set is a two step stamp and has wonderful sentiments included with beautiful images.
Here I used the DSP, A Little Foxy Paper Stack, page 174, along with the Thinlits, Swirly Scribbles, page 194. In addition, I used the Leaves from the Flourish Thinlits, same page. Colors I used where Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White and Always Artichoke.
This is another card we made at club classes this past week. I used the DSP, This Christmas Specialty, page 172 and the back ground base is Mint Macaron. I used the new Layering Square framelits, page 193 for my image and the sentiment. The image was cut out with the Flourish Thinlits, page 194 and the sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases, page 49. Ink is Archival Black and Basic black card stock was used to create the scalloped background.
The black images on the inside of the card were also cut from the Flourish thinlits and the flower, along with the stamped images are from the Flourishing Phrases set.
Really great items to use, when you are cutting very intricate dies, like this, are the precision plate, and the Die Brush/ foam mat, both on page 190. Makes fast work of little chards that normally stick to the cutouts. I love what fellow demo, Brenda Quintana calls it, Shrapnel. LOL
This card I created for the SUO #152 Challenge. I was to share a project that features something delightful about nature that you can create with Stampin’ Up! products. So this is what I came up with. I love anything to do with the Ocean, especially since I live on the coast.
On this card I used a water wash, on Shimmery card stock, for the background of Tempting Turquoise and Island Indigo. The Stamp sets I used are Seaside Shore, page 93, From Land to Sea, page 98, and Bear Hugs, page 107. I stamped the images on watercolor paper, page 175, and used an aqua Painter, page 180 to color them. I finished off with a white gel pen (retired) to embellish. Hope you like it!
This card was created with the Birds and blooms thinlits, page 194 of the AC. I used the Hardwood background stamp, page 125 and cut the images out from Marina Mist Card Stock. The card base is Crumb cake CS and I used the Pearl basic jewels, Page 177 for the eyes. Sentiment is from the stamp set, Best Birds, page 53.
Not really, however, the DSP is This Christmas Specialty paper, page 172 of the AC. It is the best Selection of DSP for Christmas that I have ever seen. I especially love this design because it goes with everything, not just Christmas, as in this card.
The stamp set is Country Livin’, page 131 and I colored it with our inks and aqua painter on watercolor paper. Colors used on this card are Delighful Dijon, Soft Suede, Crumb cake, Early Espresso and Black archival. I splattered with archival ink mixed with water and a paint brush. I used our new 5/8″ burlap ribbon, page 178 and linen thread, page 179. I also used the metallic Enamel shapes, page 177. The base card is Early Espresso. I highlighted the guitar with white gel pen.
Another card created with Best Birds, page 53. In addition, I used the set Timeless Textures, page 120. The tree Stump is from Foxy Friends, page 57. On the base card, which is Peekaboo Peach, I used the same color ink with a stencil cut out from Flourish Thinlits, page 194. This is one of my favs as far as stamp sets from the new catalog. Colors I used are Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Peekaboo peach, Flirty Famingo, and Watermelon Wonder.
This DSP, page 172, is so cool. Here, I used inks, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum and rolled it on the card stock with the new tool, Sponge Brayer, page 180. What I like about this new tool, is that you can wash the sponges out and continue to reuse them. However, this tool does comes with 2 brayers and 4 sponges. So they should last a long time. If you noticed that replaces the brayer we used to sell and works very well.
I used the peekaboo Peach Ruched ribbon, page 178. I made the shaker using window sheets, page 175 and the layered Square Framelits, page 193. The sentiment is from the set, Best Birds, page 53. To create the window I also used our new Foam Adhesive Strips, page 182.
I am in love with this set, Country Livin’, page 131. I used the Background stamp, Hardwood, page 125 in back of these awesome boots and used the set, Timeless Textures, page 120. My colors were Marina Mist, Sahara Sand, Smokey Slate, Crumb cake and soft suede. I used the sentiment from Endless Birthday Wishes, page 22, and the banner framelit, Bunch of Banners, page 193.
I created this card with the set Birthday Fiesta, page 11 of the AC. The DSP, page 173, is called Festive Birthday and the images were cut out with the framelits, Fiesta Time, page 193. Colors I used on this cute little guy are Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake. Card stock is Whisper white, very vanilla and Tempting Turquoise. In addition, I used the copper Metallic thread to finish off the card.
We made this at my camp Saturday, another CAS (Clean and Simple) project. The images and sentiments are from the Hostess set, Pun Intended, page 200. You can only get this set if you host a workshop, book party or host a club of at least $150. You can contact me here to check dates, my house or yours, for your workshop.
I usesd whisper white and Daffodil Delight card stock and Basic Black ink. The sun burst is from the set, Kinda Eclectic, page 147. I masked the light bulb and then stamped the sun burst over it. Great Stamp set.
This was one of the cards I created for last Saturday’s Camp. It is so simple yet very elegant and can be used for a masculine card. I embossed the background, Tip Top Taupe, with our new Sparkle Embossing folder, page 195. I used our Neutrals DSP and Dazzling Diamonds glimmer sheets, page 175, In color Doilies, page 175 and Delicate white Doilies, same page. The Stamped image is from our awesome Ronald McDonald House set for this year, My Hero. I used the punch, Best Badge, page 186 to cut out the image.
For every set sold, My Hero, a donation of $3 is donated to the RMHC. Great buy and great cause. We have contributed more than $1.5 million dollars to local chapters. This set is so versatile that making it part of your collection is a no brainer!
op
I love making these cards, they are so elegant. Here I used just Whisper White, Very Vanilla and gold embossing! The thinlits are Birds & Blooms, page 194 and the flowers are from Botanical Builders, same page. The sentiments are from Best Birds, page 53, which I curved to fit the banner framelit, page 193. I finished off the card with our Gold Metallic Shapes, page 177. Final touch, I sponged the edges with soft crumb cake ink.
Again I used the hostess set, Love you lots, page 199 along with the embossing folder, Sparkle, page 195 on Whisper White back ground. The base card is Sweet Sugarplum as is the beautiful ruched ribbon. I used the Washi tape from Playful Palette, page 179. In addition, I used the Enamel Hearts from the In-Color Enamel Shapes, page 177. I decided at the last minute, to cover the lady bugs with our Fine Tip Glue, page 183. I really like the way it came out.
This card was made using the set, From Land to Sea, page 98, along with the set, Seaside Shore, page 93. The back ground is a Wash using watercolor paper and various inks, soft Sky, Tempting Turquoise and Island Indigo. I used gold Wink of Stella on the turtle and Emerald Envy ink.
