Crafting Up the Coast

This card was created from the set, Fruit Basket, page 29 of the Occasional catalog.  The fruit was stamped and cut out with the matching punches, Itty Bitty Punch pack, same page.  I used the layering Square Framelits, page 214 of the Annual catalog to cut out the bases for the fruit.  The DSP is from the Pick a Pattern, pg 188.

I used Emerald Envy CS for the backing of the sentiment and Squares.  The Glitter enamel Dots, page 196, were used to embellish the sentiment.  The doilies have been retired which I did not realized until I finished the card.  So sorry, I hate when that happens.

Both the set and the punch pack can be purchased through the end of May with a 10% discount and after that, both will be retired.

This card was created using the set, Cookie Cutter Christmas, page 6 of the HC.  The sentiment is from the set, Oh, What Fun, found on page 31 of the AC.  I used the Warmth & Cheer washi Tape from the HC, page 13 of the HC.  This is one of those Clean and Simple cards.  Hope you like it.

I got the idea for this card from the gallery in Stampin’ Connection.  I had saved this to my favorites on my Mac, but I cannot remember who the demo was.  If you know, please let me know so I can give her credit.  I have changed most of the stamps used, and the sentiment, except for Butterfly Basics, page 113, and Flower Shop, page 105, and colors have been cased.  Grateful for the inspiration.

I created this card with the set, Bunch of Blossoms, page 69, that also comes as a bundle (142345), with the matching punch.  You can build up your flowers as I have in this post or you can stamp them, two step.  Either way they are lovely.  You can make a variety of flowers and the sentiments in this set are an extra added bonus.  The washi Tape can be found on page 179 and is called Playful Palette.

I know, isn’t this the cutest little fox you have ever seen?  You are going to see plenty of little forest animals this new catalog year.  This set is called Foxy Friends and can be found on page 57.  There is an entire two page spread just on this set with the matching punch.  You can get this set and punch at a discount if you buy them as a bundle (142326).
That is what I did and used both to cut out my little fox.  Everything is there for you, it’s a real no-brainer.  See all the different animals you can make with this set and the punch.  Unbelievable!  The sentiment I got from the new set Flourishing Phrases, page 49.  I used the DSP, A Little Foxy paper stack on page 174.

We made this card at our Friday night club.  It is a large stamp from the new catalog to be released on the 1st of June.  Please contact me if you need one.  On this one I used Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy.  In addition, I used the metallic sequin emellishments.  The corners were cut out with the Curvy Corner Trio punch.  This punch is retiring and you can still get it on the retiring list through the end of May.

I have some people who tell me their favorite color is Melon Mambo.  I love it too and that is why I used it on this card.  All of the images below, including the sentiment, is being carried over to the new catalog.  However, the polka dot DSP is new and you are going to love this pack.  Colors are white, black and Melon Mambo.  So cool!

Y’all know how I love vintage…….well this card just screams vintage!  I used the DSP, English Garden, page 142 and typeset, also in the AC.  I punched the flowers out with the Flower Medallion punch, page 167 AC, and used a vintage brad in the center.  Ribbon is Sahara Sand 7/8″ Lace trim, page 159 AC.  Sentiment is from Suite Sayings, page 41 of the OC (being carried over to new catty).

This set is a hostess set that you can find on page 51 of the OC.  You can only get this set if you are a Hostess of a workshop of $150 or hold a book party of $150, or if you are a member of one of my clubs.  These ladies all get the opportunity to be a hostess every six months.  I used Mint Macaron and Smoky Slate.

It sure seems like this is the year for balloons.  They are everywhere!  These balloons are from the set Party Pants, from the limited time SAB catalog.  I love this set it is so stinkin’ cute!  The balloon image can be punched out with the balloon bouquet punch, found on page 13 of the OC.  This set is not for sale but can be yours FREE with a $50 purchase now through the end of this month.  The DSP used in the background is from the Beautiful Stack of DSP, It’s My Party, page 5 in the OC.

Here is that set again, Party Wishes, page 5, OC, and the match DSP, It’s My Party is used on the background.  So festive!  Who wouldn’t love this card on their special day?  The balloons were punched out with one of the punches from the trio Party Punch Pack, page 4.  The fancy pre-tied bow is from the kit, Love Blossoms Embellishments, page 17.  I think that really sets this card off, don’t you?  My Friday night ladies loved it!

This was one of the cards that we put together at our Friday evening Club.  I chose Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride on Whisper White card stock and the stamp sets were, First Sight, page 36 and Timeless Textures, page 29 of the OC.  I used the DSP from Soft Subtles for the background.  The flowers were punched out with a punch from the set Itty Bitty Accents punches, page 166 of the AC.

I created this card using the Sunburst Thinlits Die, page 25 of the OC.    In addition, I used the Metalic Sequin Assortment, page 160 of the AC. The stamps are from the set Ray of Sunshine, page 78 of the AC.  I chose So Saffron for the sunburst.

I used the Balloon Bouquet punch on this card, page 13 in the OC.  I used the DSP Perfectly Artistic, page 19 of the SAB catty.  Sponged the balloons with Bermuda Bay ink and frayed the beautiful Pool Party Glitter ribbon, page 9 of the OC.  I used the Little letters thinlits dies, page 172 AC, on Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper.
