Pop of Paradise

This is a card that I made using the new Pop of Paradise stamp set from the 2016-2017 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  The base of my card is the new In-Color called Emerald Envy and the second layer is also a new In-Color called Flirty Flamingo.  I stamped the flamingo on Whisper White using the Flirty Flamingo ink marker for his body and the Peekaboo Peach for his beak and legs. Then I stamped another flamingo on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I cut him out with Paper Snips leaving off the beak and legs and attached it over the first flamingo with Dimenionals.  I inked up the leaves with Old Olive and then picked up color from Cucumber Crush ink to give them a two-tone effect.  I stamped them randomly around the flamingo.

Pop of Paradise

This is a beautiful stamp set called Pop of Paradise which is from the new annual 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! catalog.  My card is pretty much cased from Robyn Carmon.  I just feel in love with her card and Melon Mambo is such a favorite color of mine and thought it was just perfect for the flamingo.  The Designer Series Paper is the Pop of Pink Specialty DSP which is new in the catalog, but I also used Gold Foil and Gold Glitter paper which really make it pop.  It also uses the Layering Oval Framelits that are new this year.

Sitting Here

This new stamp set "Sitting Here" reminded me of a porch swing my dad built for us not long after my husband and I were married.  Growing up, I always loved sitting on my Grandma's porch swing on her farm in the screened in porch.  We would sit there and snap beans and just enjoyed the beautiful summer day.  It really brought back some great memories.  Now, I wished I had a screened in porch with a porch swing.  I also used the set Awesomely Artistic stamp set for the flowers above the swing and colored them in with the new In-Color Sweet Sugarplum and Garden Green.  The sky is So Saffron and the grass is Garden Green which I sponged.  The swing is colored with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede for shadows.  The pillow and cushion are colored in with Soft Sky and the new In-Color Dapper Denim.  I had to add the cat because I have a gray tabby, so colored my cat with Smoky Slate.  The shadow underneath the swing is Soft Suede.

Love You Lots - "Frogs" Never-Ending Card










Here is another Never-Ending card I made with the new hostess set called Love You Lots.  I also included the toad stamp from You're Sublime.  The base of my card is the new In-Color Emerald Envy, Very Vanilla,  and Designer Series Paper is the new Playful Palette Designer Series Stack.  The ink is also Emerald Envy.  Just love making these cards and thought the frog would be so cute with the Emerald Envy color.  I learned how to make this card watching a video from Robin Messenheimer HERE

Love You Lots - Ladybug


This was an idea I saw on Pinterest (sorry, I can't remember who) with the new Love You Lots hostess stamp set using the ladybugs to show off all the new In-Colors Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Sweet Sugarplum.  The base of my card is Dapper Denim and I stamped on Whisper White. The sentiment is also from Love You Lots and this is a very quick and easy card to do.  You can earn this set free with a $150 order or workshop.
