Bless and Keep You

The verses in the Courage and Faith stamp set can be used for so many different occasions, I use this stamp set quite often.

I stamped the verse and some dotted images on a die cut made with the Something Fancy dies and used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder on a piece of Copper Clay card stock for the background. In between those layers are two pieces of Regal Winter 

designer series paper.

The card is finished off with a Faux Glass Dot at the top 

of the die cut.

Sincere Sympathy

This card came about from some leftover die cuts and scraps that I was trying to use up when I was at a retreat recently. By using the leftovers, I put together several cards similar to this one but with different colors, die cuts and embossed pieces.

The designer series paper in the background is from the Delightful Floral collection and on top of that is a piece of Azure Afternoon card stock that has been embossed with the Countryside Blooms folder. 

Next, is a die cut made with the retired Picture This dies and on top of that is a die cut made with the Something Fancy dies.

The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink and is from the Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set.

This is a card I added to my stamp a stack collection for the month using the Sale-a-bration stamp set called Thanks a Bunch. 

The carrots and tops are randomly stamped with Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green ink. The carrots on the sentiment layer are stamped off on scrap paper first so they do not overtake the sentiment. The die cut for the sentiment was made with the Something Fancy dies.

Irresistible Blooms

Beginning March 1st, Stampin' Up! will be offering some online exclusive products. As demonstrators, we had an opportunity to preorder a few of those items (we have not been able to see all the exclusive items yet) so I spent a little time working with some of them recently.

The Irresistible Blooms bundle contains the die set and stamp set that I used on this card.  There is also coordinating designer series paper and the Loose Frosted dots that coordinate and I have used the dots as accents on this card. The designer series paper patterns bring back two retired colors - Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. The sentiment die cut was made using the Something Fancy dies. 

I recommend using Adhesive sheets when you die cut the piece I have used in the background, it makes it much easier to adhere to the card base.

Life is Sweeter

Happy Valentine's Day! and 25th anniversary to my husband and I, not sure where the years have gone!! The Share a Milkshake bundle is a fun one to use for Valentine's Day cards and I have a couple different designs to share with you today.

Each of them uses pieces of the Dandy Designs designer series paper from Sale-a-bration in the background and I chose my ink colors from the colors in the designs. 

One tip - when using the die cuts that have very little card stock left after being cut, it is a good idea to add adhesive sheets to the back of them before you cut. The die cut in the top picture is a good example of that.

The die cuts on each card are created with the Share a Milkshake dies, Beautiful Shapes dies and Something Fancy dies. 

Supplies:

Share A Milkshake Bundle

Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede, Fresh Freesia, Real Red,
