Razzleberry Lilies for Easter

Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry lilies for Easter with Granny Apple Green leaves.  Greeting from His Grace.  The font on this stamp set is beautiful.  Don't you just love the Distinktive stamp sets!  Shading and Highlighting on the same stamp.   I used  the stamps with the Stamparatus to make this lily card.  Another beautiful stamp set that will be retiring at the end of March.  Don't miss out

Painted Seasons in Berry Burst

I wanted to showcase this wonderful set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  This card features the soon to be retiring Berry Burst paper and ink.   I also used Coastal Cabana ink  for some of the flowers on card.  I used the Lace Dynamics Textured Impressions Embossing folder on Whisper White for background design.   Greeting is from the stamp set Golden Afternoon  and it is cut out with Stitched Labels Framelits.  Don't let this stamp set slip away.  It  is available only until the end of this month.

Someone Left a Gate Open

Let it Ride is gorgeous stamp set for horse lovers, and also a great stamp for masculine cards.   Night of Navy was used for card base and it is layered with Crumb Cake.   Did you see the design on the Crumb Cake?  That is the new background stamp called Crackle Paint.  I used Soft Suede ink to make the crackle design.    This card was adapted from a sample that was made at a card buffet.   We used Home to Roost  stamp set with this same background design and Burlap Ribbon.  For this card I spritz blue for the sky, but most of mine went behind where I wanted to stamp the horse.  This turned ourt to be a happy accident,  It made him look like he was kicking up water.  Shaded Spruce was used for the trees and Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends were used on the horse.  I sponged the edge with Crumb Cake ink.  This stamp set would make a great addition to your Stampin' Up collection.

Painted Seasons

I thought of you today.   Who wouldn't want to receive a card with this greeting.   This card features Berry Burst and Soft Sea Foam.  The Greeting is from Climbing Roses and uses the retired framelits that match this stamp set.  I also used the Dot to Dot embossing folder on the Berry Burst card base. 

Then I layered it with Whisper White using the Stitched Rectangle framelits.  I cut out the succulent plants using the matching Four Season Framelits.

Fable Friends and Golden Afternoon

Granny Apple Green card base embossed with Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder.  I stamped the trees with Memento Ink Tuxedo Black.  I used a Blender Pen and colored leaves with Granny Apple Green.   I used Soft Suede and Early Espresso for tree trunk.   I sponged So Saffron in some of the white space on the card.  I cut out using Stitched Rectangle Framelits.    Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon completed the first layer.  Greeting is from Birthday Cheer and cut out using Stitched Labels Framelits.    The bunny from Fable Friends was stamped also with Tuxedo Black Ink on another Stitched Rectangle.  I used Stampin' Blends Granny Apple Green for the cute little jacket.  Bunny is in Soft Suede and inside ears are Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.

A Bunny for Baby

I recently needed a card for an upcoming baby shower.  I chose the cute bunny from Fable Friends.  .  Dot to Dot embossing folder goes perfect with the Fable Friends stamp set.  I once again chose Lemon Lime Twist for my layering piece and Fresh Fig for my card base. I used some retired ribbon that was recently in the clearance rack for my tag.  The tag was cut using the Detailed Birthday Edgelits.   The bunny was colored using Stampin' Blends Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink.   

More Golden Afternoon

I am loving the new stamp Golden Afternoon.  I keep finding other stamp sets that I want to combine with this stamp.  Today I pulled out the Foxy Friends and Calypso Coral ink for the fox.   The trees from Golden Afternoon were colored with Stampin' Blends Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Old Olive.  The Greeting from Birthday Cheer.

Classic Car

Blueberry Bushel and Balmy Blue are perfect for this Father's Day card.  I am working on card ideas for a card buffet that I am hosting with my upline this weekend.  I knew Geared Up Garage was gong to be one of the stamp sets that I used.  I am pleased with the results.  I used Maps Etc. embossing folder on Balmy Blue for my layering piece.   I also used Blueberry Bushed ribbon, and Silver Foil Sheets that I added Black Stazon to tarnish.  I love that so many stamp sets now have matching thinlits.  I used Garage Gear thinlits to cut out car, greeting and gears.  

Layered Leaves in Clover

Call Me Clover is card base and I embossed it with Layered Leaves Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I chose the Golden Afternoon stamp set and blending pens to color the card with Call Me Clover, Soft Suede and Early Expresso. 

Because of You

I love to combine Stampin' Up Ink colors Blushing Bride and Lovely Lipstick on a card.  Today I have chosen the Beauty Abounds stamp for an easy card.   I randomly stamped Blushing Bride circles on the  card.  Then I added the splatter with Lovely Lipstick.    I added a few Stamped Butterflies that were cut with the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits.   The  greeting is from You're Inspiring stamp set.   I used the Story Label Punch that is available during the month of March, to cut out the greeting.  I added a Whisper White Classic Weave Ribbon under the greeting.

Sweet Easter Bunny

Just a few more months until 2017-2019 In Colors are retired.  Today I choose Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig to showcase.   I just love this sweet bunny from Fable Friends.  I used the Basket Weave embossing folder and Stitched Framelits on card.  I added a few tiny butterflies from Butterfly Beauty Thinlits.   Stampin' Blends used on the bunny  are Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink.

Tranquil Afternoon

Recently I saw a piece of fabric featuring trees and wildlife.  I immediately thought of the  Golden Afternoon stamp set and how it would pair wonderfully with Dashing Deer.   I added some grass from the stamp set Sitting Here. I used Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Tranquil Tide on the Trees.   It has been awhile since I have used the blender pens, but they worked perfect on the trees from Golden Afternoon.   Deer were stamped in Early Espresso and the birds done in Black.

Cupcake Treats

Whisper White card base layered with Gorgeous Grape and How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the greeting from the Sweetest Thing stamp set and cut it out with the Jar of Sweets Framelits  I used another sheet of Designer Series Paper to cut out the cupcake edgelit.  I cut the cupcakes apart and only used two of them for this card.  I used the outline die of the  cupcake, and cut  it out with designer series paper.  I then cut it at the mid point to look like frosting and placed it behind the cupcake.  The background shows thru as the paper liner for my cupcake

Flowers and Candy

Have you checked out the Sale-a-bration items?   The Country Floral Embossing folder creates beautiful details for your card.   I used Fresh Fig for my card base and added a layer of Whisper White using this embossing folder.   I stamped the greeting on a 1/2" piece of scrap and wrapped around the embossed layer.   I stamped the candy dishes with Fresh Fig and added the candy pieces.  I pulled out my Stampin'  Blends and added random colors to the  candy pieces.    This stamp set was not on my wish list when the catalog was released but, I am so so glad I added it to my last order.   Sale-a-bration ends on March 31, 2019 and some items have already sold out.  Place a $50 order before tax and shipping and you can choose the Country Floral Embossing folder as your Sale-a-bration item.

Sweet Celebration

Melon Mambo card base layered with  Designer Series Paper from How Sweet It Is/  This card is quick to make.   I stamped the greeting on a scrap of whisper white 1/2" wide.  and wrapped it around the designer series paper.  I added candy pieces from Jar of Sweets Framelits in Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana.
