Painted Poppies with So Very Vellum

I have been using Painted Poppies stamp set for my stamps in the mail.  I wanted to design a card that also used our new Sale-A-Bration item, So Very Vellum Specialty Designers Series Paper.  It is a pack of embossed vellum in 3 colors.  This is the card I came up with. 

I stamped the image of flowers using our Tuxedo Black Memento Pad, and then used the light Calypso Coral Stampin Blends to color in the flowers.  I added green using the spatter stamp using Soft Sea Foam.  I really like the texture on the vellum.  It is a little thicker and doesn't show the adhesive underneath as much as it does on regular white vellum.  Here is a close up of it.

The So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper is free with a $50 order while supplies last or the end of March which ever comes first.  It is a great time to stock up on adhesives and card stock when you can get a free item!  

The little black scalloped piece is from the coordinating dies, Painted Labels Dies.  This is a great set of dies the can be used for other sets too.  I really like the labels.  Many different greetings fit on them.

Celebrate with Cake

The Happy Birthday To You Sale-A-Bration set has been a popular choice for Sale-A-Braiton.  It is free with a $50 purchase.  Stampin up added coordinating dies called Birthday Dies that ate $27.  I designed this card to show them both off.  

The Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder adds a lot to the card.  I used the dies to cut out the cake, flowers on the cake, and the cake plate.  I fussy cut the Celebrate.  Here is a close up of the flowers.

The Birthday dies are available while supplies last, and the Happy Birthday To You Stamp set is while supplies last as well and only until the end of March.

Poppy Happiness

For this quarter I am using the Painted Poppy Suite for my Stamps In The Mail club.  If you have not checked this suite out, you should.  It is amazing!  At first I didn't think I needed it all, but I ended up getting it all and absolutely love it!  

 

For this card, I used both stamp sets and both sets of dies.  I started with the group of flowers die from the Poppy Moment Dies. I really like how it looks with colored card stock behind it.  I then stamped the flowers on scrap pieces of Whisper White and die cut those using the Painted Labels Dies.  The label dies included in this set are perfect for so many different greetings. You could use this card for many different occasions.  

 

When using blends, keep going over them until you like the how the colors come out.  Each flower will be a little different, which I like!  

Rhinestone Basic Jewels, are such a great quick embellishment you can add to so many projects!  I added 3 to this card.  

Below are the products I used to make this card. If you click o them it will take you to my website where you can shop online.

Christmas Gleaming

I love the Christmas Gleaming bundle that is in the Holiday Catalog.  The coordinating Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper is a favorite with the copper in it.  I am using several of the sheets for my Christmas cards this year and wanted to come up with a card for the Mossy Meadow sheets.  This is the card I designed.

I love how the designer series paper has shiny copper in it.  I embossed the copper foil sheet with the same embossing folder as the front piece- Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.  I punched the foil with the smaller of the 2 punches.  

The merry Christmas stamp is the size shown.  I used my good old scissors to cut it out and adhered it to the front of the card.

This is a great bundle, and make sure you get a pack of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

It Starts With Art

I was given It Starts With Art Stamp Set at our big demonstrator event last April.  I thought it would go great with Scalloped Note Cards and Envelopes.  I made a batch of these to send to my recruits to congratulate them on their Stampin Up Year.  Our Year is from October 1st- September 30th.  

Below you can see the note cards come with 4 different colors. I bought 4 packs of them since I always like to make multiples.  I used the Old Olive Note Cards to make a card using Daisy Lane.  You can see it here Daisy Lane Card.

Now I need to design a cards using Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.

Good Morning Magnolia Card

Good Morning Magnolia Suite has been a popular Suite.  I made this card using the new bulk pack of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  

Adding a 1' X 4 1/4' strip of designer series paper really adds to a card.  You also can get a lot from one sheet!

I wrapped the ribbon around the card base and tied it in a knot.  I then tied on the greeting on using white baker's twine. I use a mini dimensional to keep the tag in place.  It is a pretty simple card!

Magnolia Lane Cards and Envelopes

When I saw the new catalog, I loved the Magnolia Lane Specialty Memories and More Cards and Envelopes.  I really like the lined envelopes and the larger size to them.

When you buy the Magnolia Lane Cards and Envelopes you get 20 Cards and 20 lines envelopes for $12.50. Folded card size: 6-1/4” x 4-1/4.” If you buy the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack they fit perfectly on it and you can have 20 super quick cards.  

 

I used our recently added Magnolia Lane Bulk Designer Series Paper.  This was just released and comes with 10 each of 2 double sided papers.  I used it on this card.  That way I can make 20 cards all the same!

Soft Spring Stamp Set is an item you can earn

Our hostess sets can go unnoticed in the very back of our catalog. Soft Sayings is hostess set that is only $9.50. If you get together $150 in orders, or place a large order yourself you get $15 in products free!  You can choose from regular catalog items, or choose from specially priced hostess sets. Soft Spring is a beautiful set that I was able to design this simple card with in no time at all.  There are no greetings in the set, but most likely you have many greetings in your collection.  I chose Thinking of You from Good Morning Magnolia so I could use it for many different occasions.  

 

I created the background using what I call the "filler flower" from the set.  You can often create simple backgrounds using an image from a stamp set.
