Big Day

Here is another card we made at my stamp camp using Big Day (2015 SAB) and the colors I used were Blackberry Bliss and Crushed Curry.  I used the Banner Framelits and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.  The inside is stamped on Crushed with that says....and perhaps a little ice cream!  Happy Birthday  The ribbon is also 3/8" Stitched Blackberry Bliss.

Lotus Blossom French Fry Boxes

Yesterday at my stamp camp, we made these adorable little French fry boxes inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest by Judy DiScipio.  I gave the guests a choice as to "birthday" or "thank you" and today I made one for Valentine's Day.  The Frency fry box is Cherry Cobbler.  Other colors used were Real Red and Melon Mambo.  We also used the Oval Framelits and the Decorative Label Punch using the Lotus Blossom SAB set.  We filled them with candy kisses.

Butterfly Basics

This is a card that I made after being inspired by a few cards I saw posted on Pinterest.  Christine Miller posted one.  It was her butterfly that caught my attention. The other card on Pinterest was by Kay Kalthoff and I liked her layout of her card.   I used the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP to cut out my Butterfly Thinlet.  Then with a sponge, I inked it up with Old Olive and Island Indigo and then wiped off the excess.  This set is called Butterfly Basics from the Occasions Catalog and the Butterflies Thinlet can be purchased as a Bundle on page 26.  Besides using the DSP for the background, the bottom part is the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder on page 19 of the Occasions catalog.  The ribbon is the Island Indigo 3/4" Chevron from the annual catalog.

Painted Blooms DSP and Butterfies Thinlets

Today I bought a 12" x 12" white frame at my nearby craft store and then came home and inserted this beautiful Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!.  I cut out two Butterflies from the Butterfly Thinlets from Rose Red and Blackberry Bliss and another small Rose Red butterfly and attached it to the outside glass with Glue Dots.  It is now hanging in my living room making me think of Spring.  Love it!

Lotus Flower Valentine

I just can't enough of this stamp set Lotus Flower and Irresistably Yours Specialty Designer Paper from the 2015 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This time I used the striped design using the Brayer again but in Coastal Cabana ink, but then I put the paper in the  Happy Hearts Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot before placing it to the front of the card.  I love the result!  To make the flower, I used Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo ink and used the Framelit Banners.

Sheltering Tree for Valentines

Today was club workshop and this is one of the cards we made.  It is similar to the card I made before, but used Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso ink.
