I had a fun day yesterday at my friend Ann Hillery’s home. She hosted a shoebox swap for demonstrators to share ideas. We each brought a finished card and kits for others to make the same card. We went from one table seat to another table seat working on the cards. Everything was die cut for us- we just stamp, color, assemble. It is always a great time, and the three soups made by Ann and Linda Briel along with salad and pumpkin bundlt cake and raspberry crumb bars for lunch were delicious! My friend Patti Sharkey had this Parisian Beauty for us to make:
I love all the patterns in the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper
but the script is especially striking in the champagne metallic against the Petal Pink background. Tip: Using a 3″ x 4″ piece of the luxurious paper not only makes a statement but also stretches your paper to get 12 pieces from a 12″ x 12″ piece.
The black Eiffel Tower really pops off the card. There is not a die for the flower so I did have to fussy cut the flowers but I did it with minimal whining…
My daughter asked me for a card that was like “sending a hug” in the mail.
So…I did exactly what she asked me in the half hour before she wanted to pick it up…
When I made it, I die cut the hugs with the Hand Lettered Prose Dies and laid them on the panel I stamped with the Flourishing Phrases stamp set. It was too flat so I thought of little pieces of dimensionals but that would be tedious and not very stable. So I put the die cut letters on some white fun foam I had. I just die cut the hugs out of the fun foam, used Tombow glue to attatch the DSP hugs, and then glued them to the panel:) It looks so good! Now, if Stampin’ Up had sheets of dimensionals we could cut out shapes…that would be awesome!
I forgot to snap a pic of the inside…a simple repeat of the flourish in the lower right corner:)
I totally fell in love with this stamp set when I first saw it…Stampin’ Up Very Versailles.
I just started layering the images and voila, it was done. I stamped the small script first in Soft Seafoam then stamped the leaves in Mint Macaron. Then it needed a bold pop of color so I used Soft Suede to stamp the top and bottom scrolls and the medallion. I tried Crumb Cake first but it was just ok, the darker Soft Suede ink and card base ended up being just right! A simple little Stitched Nested Label Die popped up with some twine and gold metallic pearls finished up the card. I stamped some Mint leaves inside on the inside with a Soft Seafoam “Thinking of You.”
Looking at the photo…I think my next card will have some distressed edges on it!
Thanks for stopping by, friends…

I went up to my craft room yesterday and thought, “What color have I not used lately?”
I came up with Mango Melody. I paired it with the bright Call Me Clover Green.
I stamped the flowers and leaves with Versamark and heat embossed them with White Emboss Powder. I then sponged over the flowers with Mango Melody ink and the leaves with Call Me Clover ink. The white embossing resists the ink when it is sponged over creating a pretty gradient of Mango Melody ink and Call Me Clover ink on the flowers and leaves. The flowers and leaves were easily cut out with the Detailed Bands Dies bundled with the Band Together Stamp Set.
It’s been a leftover kind of week…made rigatoni- had leftovers, bought a rotisserie chicken- had leftovers, so why wouldn’t I use up the leftovers on my desk from the Stampin’ Up To a Wild Rose Die Cut Gatefold Card?
You know if I didn’t use them, I would end up sticking them somewhere and then find them later and still not want to throw them away! I had a die cut gate fold card base and a rose left over from my video so I just quickly made another rose to add!
I used the stitched die in the bundle to showcase the big sentiment:
I used the Blessed sentiment on the inside of this card:
Here is the video of the Die Cut Gate Fold Card from just on few days ago on Monday’s post:
One design…two different cards!
