Stampin’ Up Dear Doily Bundle

February 1, 2019

Here’s a bright one for you today! I used three of our 2018-2020 In Colors-
Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch, and Call Me Clover.

I was inspired by a catalog sample and totally changed it up. You can really see how bright these colors are when they are all combined. The photopolymer stamped images stamp so crisp and clean and look so great with the die cut doilies.

When I design a card, I like to carry all the colors from the outside into the inside of the card.For example, since the card stock is green, I stamped yellow and blue so the eye sees all the colors again on the inside. Sometimes I neglect my inside, how about you? Do you always decorate the inside or forget?

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

Stampin’ Up Tea Together with Tea Time Framelits- FREE Sale-a-Bration Gift

January 28, 2019

Happy Monday to you, friends…! I am set for Mother’s Day!

Ha! Looking at the photo…I think I could have made my saucer out of DSP, too…

I love that the Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog goes beautifully
with the SU Tea Together Stamp Set in the Occasions Catalog!
Simply stamp the teapot on the DSP and die cut with the Sale-a-bration Tea Time Framelits.
Yes, you can get the Coordinating Framelits as a Free Sale-a Bration Gift with a $100 purchase:)

But, remember Sale-a-Bration has many other Free Gifts with a $50 purchase, too!

I used a beautiful die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits to jazz up the inside.
Can’t wait to give this to my mom- she is tea-riffic mom- my best friend!

Stampin’ Up Nine Lives Mirror Image Stamping Technique Video Tutorial

January 23, 2019

Notice how my cats are facing different directions? How did I do that?

It’s Wednesday, it’s Video Day where I will show you how to do Mirror Image Stamping!

Back in the day, Mirror image stamping was done with the Stamp-a-ma-jig and acetate
but now the Stamparatus and the Silicone Mat make the technique super easy!

You can try this technique with any image you want to face the opposite direction than the stamp would actually stamp. The Dog in the Happy Tails bundle is another great image to mirror image stamp. Can you think of any more off hand? That’s your homework…

Measurements:
Basic Gray Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side and 4″ x 5-1/4″ for crate
Whisper White: (2) 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the outside embossed panel, 2″ square for sentiment, and the inside of card and a piece big enough for the cat
Smokey Slate: a piece big enough for the cat
Basic Black: 2″ square for the circle border around sentiment

Stampin’ Up By The Bay Sale-a-Bration Gift

January 21, 2018

Good Monday Mornin’, friends! I have a sweet notecard for you today.

I made this card using a FREE stamp set you can get as a gift during Sale-a Bration!

You can see ALL the fun offerings for Sale-a-Bration HERE.

Of course, you know by now that I am loving my Rectangle Stitched Framelits.
And, I think the majority of the cards I make has a Stitched Shapes Frame in one way or another.
The stitches give a wonderful finished, professional look, don’t you agree?

The serene scene in this stamp set lends itself to a thinking of you/sympathy/get well card.
I used the Well Said Bundle for my sentiments. I will be using that one a lot on my cards!

Take a look at the Well Said Bundle:

In case your brain is like mine and finds it hard to read the die cut words …they are:

happy, you, birthday, thanks,baby, sympathy, hooray, love, wishes, miss, friend, bride, groom, and welcome
with a bird, a butterfly, posies, and leaves thrown in for good measure!

I combined two beautiful new bundles from the Occasions Catalog to make this elegant card.

The layering ovals fit nicely inside the gold foil label die cut, too! Now, I want to use all the other neat images and dies in both sets…make sure to check them BOTH out:)
