Tissue Paper!

This card got its crinkly look by using tissue paper. You stamp your image and greeting on the tissue paper, crinkle it up and then glue it to your card stock.
There is a full tutorial on U-tube under brandys cards.
I used SU Field Flowers and decided to do some sympathy cards and used this little greeting. Also from SU but I cant remember the name!

Punch Happy!

 

 

I recieved a card like this for my birthday last week. It was paper pierced around the flower but I tried 4 different times and each time it was too close in one spot and wrinkled so I gave up.
I cased the card, so I cant give credit to the original person that made it.
I used the blossoms, pansy and butterfly punch. Also the Flower shop set for the flower, Blooming with Kindness for the sentiment and Papillion PotPourri for the butterfly.
The butterfly is glittered and the pink polka dot paper is glitter paper so it is glittered already.
There are those pretty flowers again, I did an awesome card with them also so stayed tuned for that!

Back to the Basics!

I have really gotten back to the basics with this card. I have been tired of coloring for awhile but recently have found a ton of great SU demonstrator blogs and U-tube videos and samples on pinterest so I have really stepped back a bit from the really involved cards with lots of coloring and flowers and all of that. I have probably mentioned Brandys cards . She has the most awesome videos. This card I found one of her videos with a black and white card she did I loved but then I went and looked at the other cards. She did a black and white challenge. I found a different card and then I ended up wtih this card that was a little different then either one of the cards I was looking at. She did do a cool video also with a card box to go with it I may have to try to make.

I used the Delicate Doilies set (I think its called.) and stamped the top half of a white card base with my favorite black ink. Then the bottom half is a black strip ran thru the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I then put some black and white polka dot ribbon and then one of my sincere salutations greetings (love that set) and stamped it in one of the frames from Four Frames set and used foam tape to attach it to the card. Just to give it some sparkle I added a few rhinestones to the centers of the large doilies but I dont think you can see it in these photos. I did matching envelopes also.

 

Those pretty flowers in the front are ones I found at Michaels today in their $1 bins but actually their $1 bins are now $1.50 bins. but you get about 12 of these flowers for that price and as you can see they are a nice size. I am thinking of a cool card for them. So we will see how that turns out.

 

So no designer papers for this card. Just black and white card stock some ribbon stamps, embossing folder and one color of ink.

I think these cards would be pretty in any color.

Bloomin With KIndness!

 

I love this card set. It was so much fun. I cased it also. I found this on Pinterest also. I changed it up a bit also.

All the products for this card are stampin up except for the ribbon.

This is the Bloomin With Kindness set. It comes with 4 or so sentiments. The scalloped edge die and the embossed part along the bottom are stampin up also.

I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana for the colors.

Stampsnsmiles is where I cased this card from. She had a whole tutorial on this card and a couple of other ideas to go with it. I changed the colors and a few other things. I purchased her tutorial on in just for fun. I couldnt find the exact spot where I found it. But if you click on the link and browse around you should be able to find it pretty easy.

I am really loving using the matching dies, punches and stamp sets from stampin up lately.

Happy Stamping and also HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

The Flower Shop Day 2!

Heres another card done with the flower shop stamp set and matching punch with the Gingham Garden DS papers. Except the yellow gingham is some OLD Close To My Heart papers I pulled out of the back room to match.
I loves all of these supplies together. I cased this card off of pinterest also.

Flower Shop Day One!

I discovered The Flower Shop SU stamp set and punch and also the Six Sided Sampler set and punch also. I went crazy making cards with them for two whole days. I also recently had to have Mosaic Madness set and punch. I havent had time to play with those yet tho. I have been finding different cards to case. This is one of the them. I have also used the Gingham Gardens DS papers on the cards two. This card is done in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Island Indigo. I love these colors together and so much fun with these items. For the centers of the cards I used the new Candy Dots that have come out. You can put them in the center of SU special brads but I went with putting them right on my flowers. They have sticky backs on them and just pluck them off their papers and onto your project. Easy Peasy and so much fun.
I also used some other SU items for the first time. The embossing across the top of the gingham paper and the scallop die across the bottom.
If you havent checked out these items you should pull out your SU catty and make a christmas list.

Indigo Blue Christmas again!

Here is another card using the same papers and stamps and dies as the last card. I cased this card from somewhere and cant remember where. I think I might have found it on Pinterest. There are so many cards to get inspiration from there. I just love it!
I also like this style card because it can use up lots of scraps!

Thinlit Circle Card!

This is my first and so far only card with the SU thinlit circle die. I used the Frost Specialty DS papers and the Festive Flurry and Christmas Messages sets also From Stampin up. The ribbon is from the holiday mini catalogue also. I think everything from this card is from SU.
I loves these papers. I did about 3 or 4 christmas cards with them. It goes great with Island Indigo.

Love & Sympathy!

I had to make  sympathy cards for some people since I lost a beloved uncle that I had just gone to visit in March.
I just made the same one to send to a few favorite people!
I used the SU Love and Sympathy set. Also some of the new ds papers. The Gingham collection. I love gingham and was a little disappointed there wasnt more in this set due to the name of it.
I colored the stamp with my SU markers (havent used those for along time!). Then stamped it on Neenah paper. I used my oval nesties to cut it out and a border oval with Island Indigo.
I dont have a Island Indigo marker so I used Not Quite Navy. It matches really good I think.
I also added some Island Indigo ruffled ribbon and some yellow dew drops.
I added a doily behind it for a little extra character on the card.
My picture didnt turn out quite as well as I liked but oh well I guess.
I dont normally make sympathy cards because they are depressing but I had his set on hand just in case!

Rain or Shine!

This is another SU card. This stamp set and embossing folder are also out of the new mini catty. I really like the umbrellas that come with this set. The little bit of ds paper is out of the Sale A Bration catty. I used a little flower punch and some rhinestones. Ribbon is also out of the catty and the green and pink strips are Washi tape I got for christmas.
I cased this cute little card from Inking Idaho . She is a stampin up demonstrator and has a great blog with lots of ideas. I changed her card just a tiny. You can check her out, she has some great stuff.

Secret Garden!

This card is all SU. The papers are out of the Sale A Bration catty and the flower is from the spring mini catty. It is called Secret. I stamped it and colored it with copic markers. Then cut it out with the matching dies for the two layers and the third layer was the very center so I had to cut it out by hand. The flowers were really fun to color. When I had them all cut out I added some white smooch paint over the top to give it a nice shimmer and added the brad also from SU. The greeting is an individual stamp from SU and the large white piece is also an SU die. There is a piece of Island Indigo ribbon across the center of the card but you can hardly tell it is there from this picture. The ds paper is also layered with Island Indigo cs.

Silver or Gold?

I made this card is two different color combos. Well, same colors but different. This card is right out of the stampin sucess catalog. I am making it for stamp club and didnt have enough glimmer papers to make them all the same so I didnt two different ones. All the products for these cards are stampin up.

I love it when something so simple can look so elegant!

Christmas Land!

Well, the card in my head that woke me at 4am yesterday was a little different than this but I liked how it turned out anyway.
I used SU papers, embossing folder, dies and stamps. Everything on this card is SU except the little border with the trees and houses. That is from Memory box.
I added lots of glitter to this card to represent snow. I would put some on and then decide to put it somewhere else and ended up doing it about three times.
I like the end result of the card.

Snowflake Ornament!

This picture looks better in real life  but here it is anyway. I used the new snowflake and ornament dies out of the su mini catty and the ornament stamps to match the dies. This snowflake is punched out with glitter paper from Michaels but the glitter paper from the main su catty is gorgeous and lighter than this. I stamped the ornament in cherry cobbler and then ran it thru the cuttlebug with the matching die. I added the corner punches with some of the yummy christmas papers from the new mini also. I added a cherry cobbler ribbon and some rhinestones. Also I have used the new embossing folder out of the minin for the background on this card.

Tea for Two!

This is a pretty little card that I cased from Teneale Williams . It is a card I found when I was blogging around. I love yellow and tea things so I had to make one. All the items on this card are stamping up except for the flower and rhinestones. The stamp set is The Tea Shoppe and the flowers are from Attic  Boutique and Flirtatious. The doily is from the flirtatious papers. They have two whole sheets of doilies in two different colors but the backs are white so I brayered the white side for the card. Teneales website even has a video on brayering if you dont know how.

Ghouly!

Well, I guess halloween is just around the corner. So I made this card with some of the new goodies out of stampin ups new mini catty. I used the Googly Ghouls set and the designer kit to match. I love the little googley eyes on the spider.
My hubby laughed at me and asked where I come up with these things. First the cowboy card that wiggles and now the spider eyes. I guess it is good to keep surprising him with things. The pumpkin is a EK success three step punch and the fence is Martha Stewart. Everything else is SU.
I am entering this card in the sketch challenge at The Sweet Stop . They have added to the challenge to use punches and I used 4 different ones on this card.

This is a card made with supplies from the new mini catty coming out from stampin up starting next month. It is made from a Simply Sent set. You get everything you need except stamps and ink for 8 cards. Even envelopes with liners. The green striped paper you see is the liner to the envelopes. The stamp set I used on this set is called Watercolor Winter. The Noel is cut right into the card.

The Watercolor Winter is also new in the catty and as you can see is a two step set.

Reason to Smile!

This card is made with some of the new stampin up products. The stamp set for the flowers is called Reason To Smile. If you purchase $50 in products in July you get this set for $5. Pretty good deal! I have also you the new paper piercing tools called Essentials Paper Piercing mat. It comes in lots of different patterns to match the dies and there is another set coming out in the new mini catty in August.

I used some retired ds papers with Midnight Muse cardstock (new in-colors). I added some ribbon and then the sentiment is a retired stamp on one of the new banner dies. There are some little baby pearls in the corners also.

Bordering On Romance!

I made this card with almost all Stampin up products. The greeting is from Judikins. I bought it at a convention last year and have been wanting to use it evey since. I didnt have a girls night to make a card for so I made it for invites for stamp club instead.
The stamps I used are from bordering on romance. I used some of the matching dies and embossing folders and the flower border matches the dies and borders also.
I stamped the flowers and then watercolored them with a waterbrush and inkpads. Added a little glitter and ribbon and was all done.
