Storybook Friends

Storybook friends

Meet my favorite new product suite in this catalog! I love this Storybook Friends set and the matching Storytime DSP. It’s so cute, sweet and nostalgic! Lots of new products on this card. I am so glad I finally got to play with some of my new stuff. The new Polka Dot Parade makes me joyful! I will be using every scrap of this stuff.

Don’t you just love the lacy little red border at the bottom? This is done with some really fun new tools. I used the Delicate Designs folders to make the lace border and then I cut the scallop at the bottom with the Large Scallop Edgelit. Then, last but not least, I LOVE the new Delicate Doilies Sizzlet die! The catalog lists the largest doily at 1 3/8″ Diameter, but as you can see it is 3 3/8″. I will be using these little darlings a LOT!

Thanks for stopping by!

Four Seasons

Four Seasons

Here is a quick and easy card that we made for stamp camp this month. For those of you who may be wondering, yes I own other ink pads! I promise I will force myself out of this Baja Breeze/Daffodil Yellow mode. I just love this stamp set. It is a hostess set. We have some really great hostess sets, this catalog season. LOVE them all!

Speaking of ink pads…..OH MY! When Stampin’ Up! announced that they had reconfigured the ink pads, I thought, “Oh, that’s nice, but I don’t see the need to replace the colors I already own”. THEN, I received my new In Colors and I was completely blown away by the difference in these pads!! It only takes a couple of light taps to get amazing coverage and a perfect sharp and vivid image every time. They are juicy and wonderful and still have all of the other great functions of our retired pads. So then I thought, OK, I’ll replace them slowly. Then demo math got the best of me and with the great Hostess incentive going on right now, I have replaced half of my pads. I waited 3 weeks, it SEEMED like a lifetime, anyway. All that to say…..You are going to LOVE the new firm foam pads!!!!

Layered Labels

Layered Labels

Today I have another gate fold card for you. This one was cut using the Labels Collection dies to create the ornate “gates”. I used the Layered Labels set to create a belly band to keep the card closed and a sentiment is layered behind it, inside the card. The paper is from the retired Beau Chateau collection. Thank heaven for MDS, since I have that download, I will never run out of one of my favorite papers of all time! Love that collection.

Apothecary Art Framed Latch

apothecary art

Hello! OK, if we can get a break from medical issues at our house, I think I’ll finally be back to stamping and blogging! This is a special fold card with a frame that also serves as a latch. Lots of fun.  The picture below shows how it opens.

You create the frame by laying two dies on your cardstock and running them through the Big Shot together. Then you attach them to the card by only adding adhesive to half of the frame and focal piece and attaching them to opposite sides of the gatefold to create an interlocking latch. The ribbon creates a pull for easy opening. I added color to the embossed base by using the direct to paper technique and drawing two colors across the already embossed images. This requires a very light touch, but I love the pop of color that it adds when you need a little extra something on your card. I’ll try to get a tutorial made for this card, so you can try one for yourself, we made these at stamp camp and workshops this month.

Thanks for looking!
