Stitched Day

I made a few cards using the large die cut label from the Stitched Labels framelits awhile back and had a few already stamped and leftover to use on other projects.  The sentiment comes from the Stitched All Around stamp set and the background stamping from Very Vintage.  

I paired it with some Share What You Love designer series paper and an embossed piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock.  

Supplies:

Very Vintage, Stitched All Around

Tranquil Tide, Crumb Cake ink

Wake Up

Today's card uses the same stamp set as the one I shared with you yesterday and also uses the sentiment that caught Maddie's eye.  The image of the bicyclist and the butterflies are also part of that stamp set called Enjoy Life.

When You Arise

When my daughter and I were looking through the new catalog the first time, the stamp set called Enjoy Life caught her eye because of the sentiment that says "Wake up. Kick butt. Repeat."  She decided that it was one we should get and share!  

I have paired a different sentiment from that set with Lovely as a Tree for this card that also incorporates some Tranquil Textures card stock and linen thread.

My background is made with a retired embossing folder and some Old Olive card stock.  Then I added a colored doily and my mat for the bride is a piece from a paper pumpkin kit that was leftover.

I added some Share what you love artisan pearls for accents and colored in her hair and flowers with markers.

I started with a base of Basic Gray and stamped some stars onto it with Smoky Slate ink.  Then I added my card stock and designer series paper layers.  The Twinkle sentiment is stamped on some leftover Paper pumpkin elements.

Happiness

This card again uses the same elements as the Copper Tea Tin I shared with you yesterday only in card form.  The sentiment and tea cup are stamped on a Share What You Love embellishment piece and I have again used some 1/4" Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon as an accent.

I added a few glitter enamel dots for accents and my card stock colors are Rich Razzleberry and Coastal Cabana.

Fill My Cup

I decorated one of the Copper Tea Tins for a door prize at my last Stamp A Stack and filled it with some 3 x 3 cards and envelopes.  To start with,  I stamped on one of the elements in the Share What You Love embellishments kit using the Time for Tea stamp set.

Then I wrapped some Tea Room specialty paper around the time and added a colored doily before attaching the stamped piece.  To complete it, I added a piece of 1/4" Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon and another piece from the embellishment kit.

Tomorrow I will share a card made with similar elements.

New Catalog

Now that the catalog has been around for about a week, I thought I would share this little video with some of the highlights and fun products available to you.  

Hope you enjoy and find lots of great new ideas!

For All You Do

I have found that I will be using the stamps that were in the May Paper Pumpkin kit quite often in the future and have used a couple of them on this card.  

Again, you will notice that I used the Stitched Label framelits, I can see that will be one of my favorites to grab from the new catalog.  In addition, I used a couple different designs from the Share What You Love specialty paper collection (I really love my purples! and there are lot of designs that incorporate the different shades in this paper collection) and some Rich Razzleberry 1/4" velvet ribbon.

Supplies:

With Gratitude

One of the new colors in the brights collection is called Gorgeous Grape and while I am a big fan of purples, this one will take me some time to get used to I think.  It is the color I used for the card base and also the petals on the flower I stamped (although it was stamped off twice on scratch paper first to lighten it up).  

My background leaves are from the hostess stamp set called Pressed Flowers and the flower near the sentiment is from the same set.  The sentiment comes from Itty Bitty Greetings and I know that everyone will find some great sayings in that one! 

I added some Nature's Twine and basic rhinestones along with a punched Starburst and die cut from the Stitched labels collection.

Supplies:

Itty Bitty Greetings, Pressed Flowers (hostess)

Tranquil Tide, Gorgeous Grape ink

Meant To Be

I have been trying to play around with different packages of the new designer series paper and making lots of different cards for lots of different occasions.  Trying is the key word as I am still trying to catch up from not spending time in the craft room for about a month and a half during shipping and planting of the seed potatoes this spring.  I will get there though...

This card uses the Petal Palette stamp set that was in the Occasions catalog and has carried over into the new Idea Book and Catalog.  For the designer series paper, I chose the Nature's Poem collection and used my Layering Squares framelits to cut a background, the designer series paper and the sentiment layer in different sizes.  For accents, I also added a pearlized doily and some 5/8" polka dot tulle ribbon.

June Stamp Club Projects

The Stamp Club projects this month all focus on designer series paper.  For the layout, I chose the Share What You Love specialty paper, showcasing some of the glossy embossing on one page and a couple different patterns on the other.

I also added some pearlized doilies and a couple elements from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

On the first card, I used the Very Vintage hostess stamp set along with some Tranquil Textures designer series paper and die cuts from the Stitched Shapes collection.

The next card has a sentiment from the Detailed With Love stamp set and the die cut and background embossing are done with the Stitched Label framelits.  For the designer series paper, I chose the Garden Impressions collection and then I added a few Share What You Love Artisan Pearls for accents.

We always welcome new members in both the Monthly Stamp Club (these projects belong to that group) and my Virtual Stamp Clubs which are every other month. You can contact me here to learn more.

Foil Notes

When I put together a few of these cards, my goal was to use some of the Eastern Gold vinyl stickers that were out on my stamp table.  I added some images from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in the background of the card base and on the other layers as well.

There is a piece of Delightful Daisy designer series paper behind the Peekaboo Peach layer with the vinyl stickers and I added some punched elements using the Starburst and 2" circle punch as well.

Celebrate

I have a niece that is a dancer and for her birthday I wanted to use this image from the Beautiful You stamp set for her card.  The image is colored in with Stampin' Blends and I added some Sweet Soiree specialty paper in the background.

For accents, I have used a couple of the in Color 2016-2018 glitter acrylic shapes and popped up the sentiment.
