Curvy Christmas!

 Today is the day to be able to order the new Curvy Christmas Stamp Set and Quite Curvy Bundle.  This card features the Curvy Christmas Stamp set (155364) and the Curvy Dies (available in the Quite Curvy Bundle 156228).   I also used the Classic Christmas DSP (155969) and Wonder of the Season ribbon combo pack (153537).  This was a fun, easy card to make!  My favorite is the little row of trees!  Enjoy!

Blessed Easter

Happy Spring!  Blogger fans, I know I have been terrible about not posting anything lately, but I have been busy creating and have plenty to share.  I have been busy working on a scrapbook album for my folks (their anniversary is coming up).  I do have a bunch of cards to post, so I will try to post one every day (or at least two-three a week).  This simple, elegant Easter card was made using the gorgeous single stamp "Blessed Easter" (#133212 wood).  I love the tulips!  The tulips could also be used to make a sympathy, get well, birthday, thinking of you card...simply change the sentiment!  Happy Easter everyone!  Enjoy!

Fresh Prints Hello

Here's another card made with products from the new Occasions catalog.  I used the stamp set Simply Celebrate, the new Fresh Prints DSP paper stack (love it!) and the new punch Petite Petals.  What's wonderful about this new flower punch is that our itty bitty flower punch fits perfectly inside!!! I added a little big of bling inside the flower for a finishing touch.  Another favorite new product I used to make my card was the new banner framelits.  Thanks for looking!

Another Great Year!

Finally!  I am taking some time to post cards I have made recently.  Did I mention how much I love the new Occasions catalog from Stampin' Up!  It's called "Celebrate the Everyday" and it is just that!  A catalog full of products to use to make simple, everyday cards a person uses all the time.  Like this one...I used the new stamp set "Another Great Year".  It includes several nice stamps, but this one really caught my eye.  It is so easy to stamp this image and make a really quick birthday card.  I used the new Petite Petals stamp set with the coordinating new Petite Petals punch for easy, gorgeous flowers to accent my birthday image.  I also used the new DSP Retro Fresh.  All products are from the new Occasions catalog.  Click on the image on my blog to see the whole catalog.  Enjoy!

Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit

Guess what I did last night?  I watched "The Voice" with my daughter (while my hubby was out in the field) and made 20 cards!  Yep, I made 20 fabulous homemade cards!  It was so easy with the new Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit from Stampin' Up.  Everything you need comes in one box.  You get a seven-piece Occasions Stamp set and clear block, cardstock and envelopes for 20 cards, twine, buttons and clips, full-color brochure w/tips and tricks, die cut paper embellishments, stampin' dimensionsals, Stampin' spots (mini ink pads) and a cool, storable gift box!  I just grabbed the box and went with it...I couldn't believe I could make 20 cards in one evening and I figured they cost me less than $1.50 per card!  And I still have pieces left over, plus a wonderful stamp set to use over and over again!  And ink too!  Did I mention how much I LOVE this new product from SU?  What's great about it is that is is good for beginners but also a nice way to sit down and stress-relieve for an evening and not have to think.  It's all there ready for you!  The cardstock and embellishments are all pre-cut and heavy good cardstock to use.  The brochure is nice to keep for future layout ideas for cards too!  It is item number 134797 and sells for $29.95.  Don't miss out on this one!!!!

Magnificent Fall!

I love the colors of fall.  I recently made a few cards and I simply love how the new stamp sets I have purchased recently worked.  I used Magnificent Maple, Tape It (one of my favorites), Gorgeous Grunge and Four You.  I used Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  Pretty simple card.  Enjoy!

Flower Shop Birthday Card

I made this fabulous card for my sister's birthday.  I used the wonderful in colors and the new stamp set Flower Shop with the coordinating punch.  This set and punch are sold as a bundle or can be purchased individually in the new catalog.  And if you noticed the background is something new...a sneak peak from the new upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Pretty Print Textured Impressions embossing folder and it's gorgeous.  The picture really does not do it justice.  Enjoy!

More new cards made with new goodies!

Here are four more recent cards I made with new stuff from the new catalog!  I have been having a blast!  I will edit this post later with details on the cards.  Enjoy!

Chalk Talk Birthday Card

Here is a stunning new card made with the new stamp set Chalk Talk and coordinating framelit set.  Mosiac Madness embossing folder was used on the Strawberry Slush cardstock for the backround.  I just love Strawberry Slush and Black together.  Makes for a very stunning card!  Enjoy!

Secret Garden Happy Birthday

Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday.  I used Secret Garden and the new in colors.  LOVE these new colors!  They are so pretty and blend together well.  I cased this card idea from another demo.  I also used the Delicate Designs embossing folder with the coordinating edgelit framelit.  Banner Greetings was used for the sentiment.  Enjoy!

Regarding Dahlias Anniversary

The Dahlia image in the Regarding Dahlias stamp set is quite stunning and makes for a fabulous card in an instant.  I embossed the flower image w/gold powder and used the brushed gold paper for the card base (although it does show up very well in the picture).  Enjoy!

New cards made with new stuff!

Here are a bunch of recent cards made with new goodies from the new catalog. Stamp sets used include:  Wildflower Medley, Six Sided Sampler, Chevron background stamp, Label Love, Wetlands.  I used the new in colors on all the cards except for the Wetlands (duck card).  I have been doing plenty of stamping lately...I just need to take the time to post my creations.  (I did case a couple of the cards from fellow demos.)  Enjoy!

Hexagon Birthday

Hexagons are all the rage lately and the new Stampin' Up Six-Sider stamp set and coordinating punch fits the bill.  This set is great for making all sorts of cards, including those difficult masculine ones.  Here's a fun Happy Birthday card I made with this new set.  Enjoy!~

Wheely Sweet Friend

I feel like summer came on like a gangbuster and even thought I have busy playing with my new stuff and making cards, I have totally neglected my blog.  I am going to try to make up for that by posting something 3-4 times a week.  I have made plenty of new cards with fun, fresh new stamp sets and I can't wait to share!  This card was made with the new stamp set Cycle Celebration.  I plan to get a lot of use out of this new set.  It includes several birthday images along with the bike and friend sentiment.  My daughter really liked this set and since she loves to bike ride w/me, I made this card with her in mind.  Enjoy!

Sneak Peak--Label Love

As a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I am fortunate to be able to get my hands on a few items from the new catalog early.  This set, "Label Love" was one of them.  Best thing about it...it has a fabulous coordinating punch!   This set comes with 7 awesome greetings which will be great for both my cards and scrapbook pages!  I was able to make several cards in no time w/this set!  Enjoy!

Sneak Peak--Morning Meadow

 

Happy Memorial Day everyone!  I have a couple of posts this morning...sneak peaks of new stuff from the new catalog set to release on Friday!  I am sooo excited!  Here is a card made with the new hostess stamps set Morning Meadow.  This set features six stamps...a vine w/flowers on it, a flower w/ a coordinating new punch, a label image, a bird and two sentiments (thank you and happy birthday).  I know I will get a lot of good out of this one!  Enjoy!

Masculine Card for Father's Day

I cased this fabulous simple Father's Day card from another SU demo (Marisa Gunn).    I LOVE how simple it is!  Use a square punch to make the banners.  I used Amazing Family and Beyond Plaid stamp sets.  I also used the Print Poetry paper pack, brushed bronze buttons and linen thread.  Colors used were Basic Gray, Gumball Green, Island Indigo, and Midnight Muse.  Fabulous colors!  Enjoy!

Patterned Party Birthday

Patterned Party is one of the birthday stamp sets soon to retire.  I love the banner in this stamp set.  Here are a couple of recent birthday cards I made with this stamp set (and retired DSP).  Enjoy!

Best of Brides

Best of Brides and Babies is the new Best of 25 years stamp set for May.  It includes 5 stamps (2 wedding, one anniversary, and two baby).  This is simple wedding card.  I used the 5/8" flower trip (LOVE THIS!).  The flower trim is only available until the end of May, so be sure to get yours before then!  I also used the scallop trim corner punch and scalloped edge punch.  The paper is Pretty in Pink and is soon to be retired.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Photopolymer Style!

OK, I can't pronounce it...Photopolymer...but I really enjoyed using the new stamp set made out of this material.  SU is introducing a new line of photopolymer stamps for a clear stamping option.  This set Designer Type Photopolymer includes 57 pieces!  And it sells for only $13.95.  The possibilities are endless with this fun set.  I love it for making birthday cards.  It's so easy to personalize a birthday card by stamping a person's name on it (which I did on my son's birthday card).  This card is pretty generic and would work for anyone.  I used the Brights DSP, the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Decorative Label Punch for the my border, white baker's twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Merry Minis Punch Pack (the star).   Enjoy!!!
