SU Farmhouse Christmas

October 13, 2018

I got an awesome card from one of my favorite friends and stampers, Janet Munden.
I was so wowed by her card that I totally cased it!

I was so impressed with Janet’s layout- isn’t that burlap ribbon just so cool?
I thought the Farmhouse Designer Series Paper was a perfect addition, too!

Take a look at the fantastic Farmhouse Christmas Bundle:

That picket fence is so darn cute…I gotta make a card with it to show you…
if I don’t soon, remind me…lol.

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

SU Beautiful Blizzard

October 4, 2018

I hear some people have spotted snow flurries already, can you believe that?
Well, today, all of you are going to see snowflakes…

I used the Beautiful Blizzard Bundle to make this Clean and Simple card that is a “winter” card.
It can be sent as soon as the flurries fly!
It would make a great birthday card or encouragement card, don’t you think?

I designed this card with a larger border around the stamped panel.
The card base front is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, the Bermuda Bay is 4″ x 5-1/4″,
then I skipped the next layer (that would be 3-3/4″ x 5″)
and finished it off with the white stamped panel of 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″.

The 4″ x 5″ die is super cool- pun intended. You get a blizzard of snowflakes with a one run through the Big Shot.

SU Flourish Filigree Trio of Cards Video Tutorial

October 1, 2018

I have a video for you today using the Flourish Filigree Stamp Set and the Pretty Label Punch.

I loved how Judy May placed a little bit of ribbon off the bottom of the tag on one of her cards.
I was inspired to do the same, doesn’t it add so much to the card?

Below is the Real Red/Silver version in landscape position but with the stamp in the same place on the Stamparatus.
I made up a few different versions but only had to get the stamp placement done once on the Stamparatus!

Here is the Thank You card I did for my mother-in-law’s passing last month.

Measurements for all three cards:
Card Base for the Red and the Elegant Eggplant 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ on 8-1/2″ side and the Card Base for the Black/Gold 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″
The next layer in from the card base is 4″ x 5-1/4″(gold/silver/eggplant)
The stamped panel is 3-1/2″ x 5″

SU Winter Woods

September 22, 2018

I have a another Christmas card for you today.

I typically make a traditional red/green card, a purple card,
and this is the card I made for my “blue” Christmas card this year. I was smitten with this
bundle when I first saw it on the Stampin’ Up Alaska Cruise,
and I kept seeing cards with the simple trees and one lone die cut tree everywhere
so I was definitely inspired by so many people.

*I didn’t realize that awesome silver ribbon was retired…then I saw the gold ribbon on the Clearance Rack
and scarfed some up! Makes a great layer of detail without bulk for easy mailing:)
