Perfectly Preserved Thank You

What a perfect way to welcome fall...with a new card made with the stamp set Perfectly Preserved.  This new set comes either by itself or in a new bundle package.  That's right!  Stampin' Up now has new bundles to save you money!  The Perfectly Preserved Bundle comes with the new stamp set Perfectly Preserved and the new Cannery Set framelits.  Makes stamping and cutting out super easy and fun!  I also used the new Orchard Harvest Designer Series paper.  Oh..and I almost forgot...that nice little scalloped edge was made using our new Adorning Accents Edgelits!  Enjoy!

Wonderfall Thank You

I just love the new Wonderfall Stamp set and coordinating Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  Makes wonderful, fun, interesting leaves for any project.  I learned a trick to getting the leaf stamped image perfectly centered inside the leaf.  This was something I demonstrated to my customers at my last class and they also found it to be a worthwhile tip.  Cut out your shape (in this instance a leaf).  Ink up your leaf stamp.  Place the inked up stamp face up on your table.  Then simply line up and they lay your leaf over the inked stamp.  Run your fingers over the back side of the leaf (or you can use your bone folder).  Then pick up your leaf off of the stamp and presto...you have your inked up leaf perfectly stamped inside the image!  Works like a charm.  This would also be great for using background stamps on the front of cards.  Helps to distribute the ink evenly.  Enjoy!

Lacey and Lovely

This is a special card made for a friend who is going through a tough time right now.  I actually spotted this card and cased it from another SU demo (but I can't find it now).  I just remember how it caught my eye.  Simple and perfect.  I used the new stamp set Lovely and Lacey and Sassy Salutations for my greeting.  Colors are Rose Red, Not Quite Navy and River Rock.  Enjoy!

Memorable Moments is one of my favorite new stamp sets from the new catalog. It is so nice for making birthday and anniversary cards. It coordinates with the lablels framelits so cutting out the label is super easy every time!

Countryside Summer Birthday Card

Happy summertime!!!! I have made quite a few summer cards recently and I am going to gradually get them all posted. I have several new stamp sets and have been thoroughly enjoying playing with them!!! Here is a recent summer birthday card made with Countryside and the sentiment is from Curly Cute. The image is watercolored in using the aqua painter brush and the watercolor pencils. Enjoy!~
