Night of Navy and Silver Field Flowers

This was a card I made using Night of Navy card stock and the Silver Metallic Encore Pad #132142

The stamp sets is Field Flowers and the background stamp is En Francais #128562 (w) and #127790 (c).  I inked the En Francais background stamp in the Silver Metallic Encore Pad for the background.  It looks gorgeous on the Night of Blue card stock.  I used layered the Silver Foil Sheet #132178.  The other ink colors I used for the stem and leaves is Old Olive.  I used the Decorative Label Punch #120907 for the verse and punched out a Silver Foil Sheet and cut it in half for a layered look.

Black and White Banner Blast

This is another Banner Blast (SAB) card I made using Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock.
I used Decorative Dots Embossing Folder on the Whisper White cardstock and ran through the Big Shot.  I stamped the banners on Whisper White using Versamark ink pad and used Basic Black Embossing Powder.  Then used the Banner Punch to punch them out.  I put Dimensionals behind them to attach to the front of my card.  The middle banner was made by punching with the Banner Punch on Basic Black card stock and then trimming around the edges and punching out a Real Red heart using the Small Heart punch.  I tied the 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon in a bow and attached above the heart banner.

Banner Blast

 

Finally able to post some cards I've been making now that I have a new computer.

My old computer "bit the dust" and I just got a new one Friday night and it is Windows 8, so it is taking a bit to adjust to it.  This is a card that I just made for a monthly swap group I was in.

It is made with the Sale-a-Bration set Banner Blast  in wood mount #133551 or clear mount #133554.  It is one of stamp set one of the sets you can earn FREE by spending $50 in net sales. It also be coordinated with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch in Catalog on page 180.  There is also a Banner Blast Punch #133551 in the SAB catalog that coordinates with the Banner Blast set.  All SAB items are earned Free with every $50 spent. The colors I used are Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla and I used two new embossing folders.  The one I did with the Cherry Cobbler card stock is called Decorative Dots #133520 and is an item you can also earn FREE during Sale-a-Bration.  The other embossing folder is called Scallops Textured Impressions #132971 which I used on the Very Vanilla card stock and it can be purchased in the 2014 Occasions catalog.  The "Happy Heart Day" is from the stamp set Tags 4 You Wood #131820 or clear #131823 from the Carryover List from the Holiday Catalog and I used the Label Bracket Punch #132153 which is also on the Carryover List.

I placed a Cherry Cobbler Candy Dot #130932 from the Regals, on one of the banners.

Happy Hour

We get another snow day tomorrow due to freezing cold weather, so I'm really catching up on my card making.  I even finally took time to learn how to add the watermark to my cards thanks to Amy Celona's video, although I could have made it bigger.  The stamp set Happy Hour #132013 (w) and #126642 (c) makes me think of New Year's, so it inspired me to make this card with the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch #133324 in the Occasions catalog on page 35.  I punched one end of Cherry Cobbler card stock and then turned it around to punch the other side.  What was so neat about that was that I was able to thread the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon #120992 through each side slot.  I also used a Cherry Cobbler Dot for the berry on the ivy.

Happy Birthday Best of Sale-a-Bration

Since I am snowed in today, I decided it was time to stamp my first card made for 2014.  The card stock colors are Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.  The flower stamp is from Best of Sale-a-Bration #134393 that came out in December, 2013.  The colors I used for the flower are Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers.  The The original stamp was from the Sale-a-Bration set called Happy Harmony in 2007.  The "happy birthday" stamp is from Teeny Tiny Wishes #128478 (w) or #127802 (c) which is the catalog on page 44.  The Embossing Folder is from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog called Decorative Dots #133520 which is free if you spend $50 in Stampin' Up! merchandise.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Season of Style which was in the Holiday Catalog.  The punches I used were Word Window #119957 and Modern Label #119849 on pages 180 and 181 of the catalog.  The circles are from the Circles Collection #130911 on page 186 of the catalog. 

Christmas Blue Ball Jars

I purchased these blue Mason Ball Vintage Style Jars at Kmart and my daughter saw them at Michaels.  They can also be found at Target. It is their 100th Anniversary and I saw some cute samples made by Sandi MacIver and knew I had to make some of them myself.  I used the Festive Flurry stamp and Framelit Bundle #133284 (w) #133285 (c).  I also used the Circle Framelits #130911 and Silver Glimmer Paper #124005.  I put the 3/4" Chevron Ribbon in Island Indigo #131151 around jar rim and added the Silver 1/8" Ribbon #132137.   I stamped a snowflake and attached it to the top with Dimensionals and added the Frosted Finish Embellishment #132150.  I used the stamp set Tags for You #133293 (w) #133294 (c).  I used Tempting Turquoise ink and used the Label Bracket Punch #132153 to punch it out and adhere to the Silver Glimmer Snowflakes.  On the other side, I stamped "A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You' with the Christmas Tagables #134623 Photopolymer stamp set.  I filled it with chocolate, of course!

Best of Snow Frosty

It looks like we are expecting snow this week.  It has been a long time since I've made a snowman outside, but I will stay in where it is warm and make this snowman card instead.  I did this for a swap last month.  It was quick and easy and I love the little Frosty from Best of Snow #134387 (c).  The colors are Island Indigo and Pool Party.  I also used the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder #120902 in the Big Shot using Whisper White card stock and embellished with Rhinestone Basic Jewels #119246.  Frosty is all glitzy with Dazzling Diamonds #102023.
