Snappy Birthday!

I have another card created using the Pun Intended hostess stamp set for you today.  On this one, I used one of the images from Painter's Palette for my background and added some now retired Going Places designer series paper.

The sentiment is punched out with the modern label punch.

Supplies:

Pun Intended, Painter's Palette

Basic Black, Delightful Dijon ink

Very Vanilla, Tip Top Taupe card stock

Going Places designer series paper

modern label punch

Now is a great time to join one of my stamp clubs - when the new catalog comes out I think all of our wishlists get pretty large!  I have a couple different options to choose from and you can contact me for more information right here.

I Think You're Great

The kids finished school for the year this week and I always give their teachers a little something to say thank you for a great year.  For the female teachers, I put together a set of 5 or 6 cards in a box and decorate it a little bit. 

For the male teachers, I like to do something different so this year I purchased some gift cards from the Dairy Queen and made some cards to put them in.

The I Think You're Great stamp set and some designer series paper (Going Places and English Garden) did the trick for these two cards. 

Supplies:

I Think You're Great

Lost Lagoon Ink

Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede card stock

2" circle punch

English Garden and Going Places designer series paper

Just for You

 

In keeping with the simple card theme, here is another pretty quick and easy one.  This time I chose the stamp set You're So Sweet and used Mossy Meadow ink.  

 

I cut out the stamped sentiments with a paper snips, that is probably the slowest part of this card assembly and then added them to a layer of designer series paper and Basic Black card stock.

 

Supplies:

You're so sweet

Mossy Meadow ink

Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze card stock

Welcome Winter

 

One thing I really like about Stampin' Up!'s 6X6 designer series paper stacks is that they work great as a background when you are putting together scrapbook pages.  On the layout below, I have used two different stacks - Go Wild and Going Places.  

 

I added some images from the Stamp A Bag stamp set in the background as well as some designer buttons and snowflake embellishments.

 

A little washi tape, a title and journaling and the page is complete!

Hello

 

I was messing around with some scraps of designer series paper on these cards and came up with two different designs.  

 

On the first card, I used some Sweet li'l things designer series paper and Tangelo Twist ink for my "hello".

 

On the second card, I used some Going Places designer series paper and Tip Top Taupe ink...

Greatest Adventure



 

Well, I mentioned that my husband and I had an anniversary a little while ago, but I didn't share the card I made for him with you yet... so here it is...

 



 

I went with the Going Global stamp set and paired it with some Going Places designer series paper and pieces from the Memories in the Making Project Life collection.

 

I used Memento Black ink to stamp on the wood piece...

 

and punched out my sentiment with the Modern Label punch.

Going Global

 

I wanted to pair the Going Places designer series paper with the Going Global stamp set for an upcoming stamp a stack card and this is what I came up with.  

 

I stamped the globe image with Crumb Cake ink and then the sentiment over the top with Basic Black ink.  Then, I stamped the sentiment again on another piece of Very Vanilla and cut out the banner and attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Happy Anniversary

 

More sneak peeks as I show you the anniversary card I made for my sister and brother-in-law!  I have used the Sunburst thinlit for the background over some Going places designer series paper.

 

Then, I used the Number of years stamp set to add my images and sentiments along with some cotton ribbon for an accent.

Leaves of Sympathy

 

There are so many great designer series paper options in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs!  It is hard to pick one pattern when I am ready to make a project :)  The paper in the card below is from the Going places designer series paper pack.

 

I stamped the leaves behind the sentiment using the Number of years stamp set and my sentiments are from Love and Sympathy.

 

I added a little bit of Lost Lagoon stitched satin ribbon as well.
