Elementary Elegance in Blue

Elementary Elegance

Just one more Elementary Elegance card and then I need to play with some of my other sets! For this one I used more of the Everyday Enchantment DSP. Love that paper! The frame is cut using the Labels Collection Framelits. I needed a longer frame for this image, so I cut the top and bottom of the frame separately.

Thanks for stopping by!

Elementary Elegance and pretty polka dots!

Elementary Elegance

These colors make me smile, or maybe it’s the polka dots. This years group of In Colors are some of my all time favorites, such bright happy colors and they play so well together! The image and the ribbon are two of the items that you can choose FREE, with your $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.

I used the excess rubber from the center of the frame image to make a little shadow stamp. There is a little bit of polka dot pandemonium going on here, but I think it works.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Up Up and Away

up up and away

Even though the weather has decided to cool a bit this week, I have been thinking spring in my stamp room. This is a cheery little card using the Up Up and away set. The clouds were sponged using a stencil that I made from card stock. I pieced a scalloped circle and the Fancy Flower punch together to create the cloud shape. The hills are circles, punched using the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch.

Thanks for stopping by,

Easy Events

Don’t forget that you can download a free trial version of My Digital Studio today! I’ll post with all of the details a little later.

Easy Events

This is a fun little card using the Easy Events set. I paired the love birds with the sentiment from the the tree image. I am thinking about cutting the sentiments away from the images on this set to make it even more versatile. Cheery fun!

Happy stampin’!

Ribbon Shares

Our ribbons have been fabulous this year and the newest offerings from the current Mini Catalog are no exception! To make it easier to get your hands on as many colors as possible, I have put together some collections for a Ribbon/Product Share. What is a product share? I group together customers who want a sampling of ribbon or other product and each pays for a package or two from a collection and then I split them up for you to share.

I have chosen our more recently released ribbons and you may mix and match which shares you would like to participate in. When I have 5 people in a share, I will order the ribbon, cut and repackage it for the participants and deliver or ship it out.

These are some of the ribbons/products I am offering and you may go to my Product Share page to view the details, then contact me to join a product share!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fresh Vintage

fresh vintage

I wanted to keep the focal point kind of simple on this card so it could share the spotlight with this gorgeous paper. I just love every design in this pack of Everyday Enchantment DSP. I plan to snatch up as much of this stuff as I can earn during Sale-a-bration! I used the Fresh Vintage set on this card and heat embossed the image on the butterfly to give it some interest.Very simple concepts but I love how they all work together so nicely.

I’ll be back this weekend with a Ribbon Share offer for you!

Apothecary Art

I have a pretty card for you today, but first I wanted to share a few exciting announcements that were made by Stampin’ Up! this week. Our catalog and catalog schedule is changing a bit! First, the Annual Catalog will be unveiled a month early, June 2012! Then we will have 2 seasonal catalogs that will be larger than the mini catalogs and they will come out in August and January and as the name implies, they will house all of the seasonal stuff and will run 5 months instead of 3. I really think I am going to like this format.

We are also getting a new diagonal score board insert for our Simply Scored tool, for making envelopes and boxes and such! This should be available in March. It is a full sized board that will just sit on top of the Simply Scored. Only $11.95. I can’t wait for this!!

And on February 1st, we are releasing a one month FREE trial to My Digital Studio! What a great way to try out this neat program!

Apothecary Art

This is a fairly simple card, it just shows how the right tools can make quick work of creating cards. This one looks fairly elaborate, but it really just took a few quick steps. The new Labels Collection Framelits work with the Apothecary Art set { LOVE }. So I centered my framelit die, cut, and then embossed for the top layer. I stamped the image and colored it, using a smaller piece of card stock so that I could easily center it in the frame. Popped up the sentiment and then added a bow. Love the elegant look of this set! And I love the banners and sentiments that can be used with so many other sets, as well!

I hope you get to stamp today!

Belinda
