This is one of my favorite stamp sets in the OC. You can find it on page 26 and it is also a bundled set that if you buy both the set and Thinlits you get a 15% discount. Details are listed on page. I think my favorite image in this set is the honeycomb. It is right up my alley. I love textured images. It also has great sentiments, like this one about the caterpillar.
The colors I used on this were Mossy Meadow and Calypso Coral. I embossed the background paper with the EF Spring Flowers Textured Impressions, page 19 of the OC.
This stamp comes from a hostess set that you can earn if you host a workshop in your home or if you have a book party of $150, either on-line or in a club. It is so stinkin’ cute. I used Back to Black for the back ground and our new White Jute ribbon found on page 43 of the OC. So pretty. I used 2 different punches to cut out the little flower, Petite Petals and Itty Bitty punches, all found in the AC pages 219 through 222. Topped it off with a black Dot candy. I embossed the little worm with white craft ink and white Embossing powder and colored in with Blendabilities after coloring the image with the white chalk pen.
I made this card, again, for another friend that I do water aerobics with. I made it extra large so we could all sign it. I love to color this image with blendabilites in all different colors. Using different colors, on the animals, every time I use this stamp, takes the boring out of multiple stamping. I like to make up these get well cards in advance so that I can just pull one out when the need arises. At my age, every one around me, including myself, are not always 100% healthy all the time. However, at the risk of repeating myself, being sick beats the alternative. LOL
Love this stamp set, Moon Lake found on page 21 of the OC. I used watercolor paper and classic ink with an aqua painter. I used a white gel pen to highlight the water. This stamp set is perfect for water coloring. I did some experimenting with blendabilities on this set but was not happy with the results. I used Island Indigo (one of my favorite ink colors), for the water, Soft suede, Crumb cake and Wild wasabi on this card.
Today is my oldest daughter’s birthday and my youngest daughter’s Wedding anniversary. Here we are on our Disney cruise last February. We had so much fun we are going again this February. One of the nights the theme is Pirate Night and we had to dress up like pirates. It was so awesome! Love my fam!
By the way, I used the journal Retro Fresh, found on page 190 of the AC to record all our memories & pictures from this trip. This year I will be using Project Life by Stampin’Up!© to record all of this years Disney Cruise. Sooooo easy!
We made this little bag with the new Thinlits Mini Treat Bag found on page 9 of the OC. I used the DSP Typeset from the AC and the in-color wide bakers twine also from that catalog. The stamp is colored with Stampin’write markers, topped off with one of our lovely embellishments, Something borrowed. The hearts down the side of the bag are cut out with the same thinlits dies above, a combination of very versatile thinlits come in this package, not just the mini bag. Unbelievable buy for the money.
This is truly my favorite stamp set (Lotus Blossom) from SABC this year. It is all over pinterest and the internet. Such a beautiful design. I used the stamp set Hello Life, page 6 of the OC for the sentiment. The color I selected for this flower is Pacific Point, wild wasabi and Mossy Meadow. This was one of the cards we made at stamp camp Saturday. Everyone loved it.
This stamp set you can get as a hostess benefit from the OC if you have a workshop of $150 or more. It is only available for hostesses and at the end of this catalog they will be gone. I posted this card earlier but changed the back ground color to Pink pirouette. I used the pink & gold bakers twine from this month’s Paper Pumpkin.
I used some of the items from this month’s paper pumpkin on this card. However, the main images are from the hostess set found on page 51 of the OC. This set is awesome for coloring with markers or blendabilities. I used the embossing folder, Happy Heart Textured Impressions on page 9 and I cut the tab out with our Edgelits File tabs found on page 229 of the AC.
This is another Valentine made with the set, Wood you Be Mine, page 7 in the OC. I am in love with this set it is so versatile. I love the sentiments too. The hearts I punched out with the Confetti Heart Border Punch found on page 5. We have really covered Valentine’s Day, for you and yours, with our new Occasions catalog. Contact me HERE if you don’t have a catalog.
This is the neatest set, Celebrate Today found on page 11 of the OC. I used the DSP from SAB catalog (Best Year Ever, page 4) to go with it. I embossed in white, the balloons with a matching stamp and added Island Indigo with Coastal Cabana to deepen the color on the background. The balloons are cut out with the matching framelits, also found on page 11. You can get this stamp set and framelits at a 15% savings if you purchase the bundle. The DSP you can get FREE with a $50 purchase of merchandise before shipping and taxes.
I love this stamp set called Painted Petals, page 19 of the OC. It looks just like it was water colored. I used the DSP call Painted Blooms (same page) that is shown with this set. Some of the DSP actually is painted on the paper and can be used all by itself, it is so beautiful! I also used our new lacey Trim, Sahara Sand found on page 43. I think it gives this card a vintage look. Love it!
This set, Wood You Be Mine, is found on page 7 of the OC. It is so cool. I swear everyone has gone wild over this set. Of course you can use it for more than Valentine’s day. Father’s Day and Birthdays are also good choices. The DSP is from the paper stack called Adventure Bound found on page 40. Hope you like it!
This set has the best sentiments. You can find it on page 41 of the OC and the background paper, Adventure Abound paper stack on page 40. I also used the SAB set, You Brighten My Day, found on page 11 of the SAB catalog. There is a matching punch called “What’s Up”, perfect for punching out the house on page 222 of the AC.
Love Life! I love this stamp set. If you are into our Blendabilities or our Aqua Painters, you will love using this set. It is one of my favorites from the SAB collection and can be found on page 19. I used the new Washi tape, Stacked with Love found on page 5 of the OC. I used Night of Navy to color the bird. Just another set you can get FREE during SAB. Good through March 31, 2015.
I created this card using the stamp set on page 22 of the OC. There is so much you can do with this set. I have said this before but I love a stamp set that contains both images and sentiments. They are great for making a collection of all Occasion cards while you are traveling. A couple of clear blocks and some ink and you are good to go.
This is a really cool masculine card. I love this set on page 12 SAB, that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. I used the Back to Black DSP and embossed with white embossing powder and then colored the embossed Celebrate with Pool Party Blendabilities. Hope you like it.
You can get this set, Best Day Ever, page 3 of the SAB catalog, or A Happy Thing, page 19 (SAB), FREE with a $50 purchase from any of our catalogs. Remember that when SAB is over, you will not be able to get these sets anymore, so if you want them, now is the time to get the ones you want.
I thought I would go outside the box on this one and make them into limes instead of lemons. I used the blendabilities, Old Olive and Wild Wasabi to color them. The background paper is Back to Black.
We made this card at my Wednesday morning Hostess club. Everyone loved it. This image is from the set “Hey, Valentine”, found on page 8 of the OC. I used the DSP, Back to Black, found in the Annual Catalog (AC). We colored this little guy with our Stampin’Write Markers. This is the coolest set if you have small children that need to have cards for their friends at school or to even for loved ones. I had some gold tiny beads left over from a project a few years back and added Crystal Effects to the gold in the trunk and then put the beads over it. Took about an hour to dry but I thought it was a cute effect.
Does this stamp remind you of one we used to have a couple of years back. Cannot recall the name of it but I remember I was disappointed when they retired it. So glad they have come back with a similar stamp set. I used the Cantaloupe Crisp ink and Early Espresso ink for this card. What really sets it off is the DSP background paper, Irresistibly Yours, found on page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog (SAB). It is a type of resist paper that has lovely patterns for every event. I used the Brayer to roll the ink on the background and then used a paper towel to remove the ink that laid on the top of the resist.
This is one of the first sets I purchased from the new Occasions catalog (OC). You can find it on page 6 and the DSP is from Stacked with Love on page 5. I used Melon Mambo Ink and Black Mememto ink. Very simple card yet so pretty. What do you think?
I created this card from the same stamp set that I previously use, Hey Valentine, on page 8 in the SC. It is so stinkin’ cute. So easy to use with either Blendabilities, our markers, or our aqua painters. I love stamps that have good lined images so I can color them in myself. So much fun and wonderful therapy. I punched the image out with our Note Tag punch which is carried over from the HC. See page 49 for other items that have been carried over.
Isn’t this a pretty card? This set from the SC, page 26, can be purchased with the bundle and a 15% discount. The butterfly thinlit dies are awesome! You will flip over them. I certainly did. I didn’t use them on this card but keep posted as I will be using them soon. This set is the BOMB!
This card I created using the new set, From the Herd, found on page 15 of the SC. I made it for one of the ladies I do Water Aerobics with so we could all sign it. I think she will get a kick out of it and hopefully it will boost her spirits. She is going through Chemo so your prayers are welcomed.
Well if you have the new spring catalog (SC), you know this is one of the sets from that catalog. This is a great stamp set, not only for children but for adults. I used the blendabilities on this card and ran it through the embossing folder Decorative dots. This set can be found on page 8 of the SC.
I hope all my stamping friends have a wonderful and prosperous New Year.
I am really looking forward to all the new stuff SU has in this new SC. This set, Lotus Blossom, can be found in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You cannot buy this set but you can get it FREE with a $50 purchase of merchandise from any of our current catalogs. This is kinda like a 3 step stamping and so much fun to play with. I tried all of our colors and it looks great with most of them. This is one of those stamps sets where you go from Dark to light, in stead of light to darker, like you did with our 2 step stamping.
Wishing y’all a blessed Christmas. If you are driving to be with loved ones, safe travels.
This is a little gift bag made with our new Mini Treat Bag framelits. You can find them on page 9 of the Spring Occasions catalog! I made this with our gorgeous wrapping paper found in the Holiday catty on page 10. This craft paper is so pretty and it’s reversible so you can stamp the other side if you prefer.
Again this is from the new catty. It is specifically an Easter Stamp set but you can use flowers for anything, right? I used our very new Blendabilities on this card. You will love our new colors. This is soft Sky, Wild Wasbi and Pink Pirouette inks. I also used our Oval Framelits on this card.
Just in case you got too busy to make and send out cards for Christmas, why not send them for New Years? This is a really cool set that we have had for a long time and can be found in the Annual catalog on page 135, Happy Hour. So versatile and can be used for a variety of events.
This is pretty much cased from the new catalog. If you have your new catalog already it is on page 12. The bows were made with our new bow punch. So easy and so much fun! Don’t you love this gorgeous DSP?
This is another card created from a stamp set from the new Spring catalog. You should have rec’d yours by now so you know how wonderful all the goodies are this catalog. It is my favorite so far. You will be able to start ordering from it on January 6th. In addition, you can start earning FREE Sale-A Bration items that day also. For every $50 you spoend you get to choose a stamp set or other item in the SAB catalog FREE! The sentiment on this card is a SAB stamp.
Sometimes I like to do Christmas in colors other than the normal red and green. I used Rose Red on this card, stamped the backgound and then embossed it with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I used the silver sequins and backed the image with Silver Foil paper which was also run through with the Chevron Embossing folder.
The stamp set is Bright and Beautiful found on page 25 in the HC and cut out with the matching star framelit dies found on page 231 of the AC. I finished it off with the Gorgeous All is Calm Snowflake embellishment found on page 22 of the HC. I added a Rose Red candy dot to the cent of the snowflake.
I love this set, Today and Everyday, found on page 168 in the big catalog. I used Blendabilities to color the image. In addition, I used our Banner punch and Candy dots to embellish an otherwise clean and simple card. Hope you like it!
I created this card with the New craft paper and Specialty Trim the Tree DSP found on page 5 of the Holiday catalog. I used the Burlap ribbon, the Natural Chevron ribbon, and the clothes pin embellishment, found on pages 205 and 207 of the AC. The Tree is stamped with the set, Festival of Trees and punched out with the matching punch found on page 24 of the HC. We are making this card in my Wednesday morning club today.
I embossed this card in white embossing powder and filled in the open areas with our White Stampin’Chalk Marker. Then I colored with Blendabilities. Very easy technique. The stamp is a background stamp, Corner Garden, and can be found on page 175 of the Big catalog.
