And check out the beautiful embossing folder!  I used the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder in the Annual Catalog on page 198!  I love it!  It is so detailed!  It is just so pretty!

Timeless Tulip

It is simple Saturday.......and I'm sharing a beautiful card, that is made easily- because it uses a cool punch!!

I used the 'Timeless Tulip' stamp set & coordinating Tulip Builder Punch.  If you purchase the 2 of these together as a bundle, you save 10%.  

You all know that I'm a punch girl!!  So I love this bundle!  I also love the color combination of purple & green together.  So this is a totally Susie card!

Look at the detail in this tulip.  This stamp set is a photopolymer stamp & it is a dis'ink'tive stamp.  Which means it is lots of detail, with light & dark shading- all in the stamp design!  How cool!  This is a patent design of Stampin' Up!

stamp set:  'Timeless Tulips'
card stock:  

• Highland Heather- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 4 x 2 1/2"
• Granny Apple Green- 4 1/4 x 2 3/4"
• Whisper White- 2" strip- stamp Tulip onto & punch out; 2 1/4 x 3 3/4"- stamp stem & leaves onto; 1" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with Classic Label Punch; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  Pleased to Punch DSP- NOT available now- so sorry!
ink:  Highland Heather; Granny Apple Green
other:  Tulip Builder Punch; Dimensionals; Glue Dots; Classic Label Punch- punch out & then flap the end with your Paper Snips; Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!
Happy Stamping!

Sailing Home

Humm......guess I must have been in the mood to make guy cards!!  

But I often hear my customers say that guy cards are hard to design and that they never have enough guy cards.  So at my classes each month, I try to share at least one guy card.  

I made this guy card a few weeks ago.......and I thought it turned out pretty neat!  I used the  'Sailing Home' stamp set & coordinating Come Sail Away DSP!

How did I make the sun?  I just used my So Saffron ink pad & a sponge dauber.  Adding the birds flying in the air, the water ripples, the birds & the sun to this card, sure added a lot of dimension & a realistic look.  

What do you think?  I know that Father's Day is a couple of months away yet, but this would make a great card for that occasion.  And it would make a great guy birthday card too!  

stamp sets:  'Sailing Home'; 'Best Catch' (words); 'Artisan Textures'- for the water
card stock:

• Night of Navy-5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 1 3/4" strip- punch out Scalloped Circle; 3 x 3 1/2"
• Soft Suede- 3 1/4 x 3 3/4"; 3/4 x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White- 2 3/4 x 3 1/4"- stamp sail boats, water & birds onto this; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with 1" Circle Punch; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  Come Sail Away DSP- 4 x 1 1/2"
inks:  Night of Navy & So Saffron
Stampin' Blends:  Light Soft Suede
other:  1" Circle Punch; 1 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch; Sponge Dauber; Dimensionals

I hope you have a great Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Mountain Air

Do you need a guy card!!!  This one is clean, simple & cute!  I think it is a great guy card!

I used the trees from the 'Mountain Air' stamp set.  Using my Mossy Meadow ink pad, I stamped the 2 lower trees first & then didn't re-ink my stamp, but "shadow" stamped the trees again (yes- the shorter tree was actually stamped over the darker taller tree).  Doing this shadow stamping, give you a lighter shade for the trees.  

Can you believe that this designer paper is from the Magnolia Lane DSP?  Yup- this DSP is so versatile!  That is very neat huh!

Yesterday morning we woke up to about 3" of snow on the ground!  I was thinking- what the heck!  In mid April, we sure don't need snow.  Thankfully it was all melted by shortly after lunch.    

But with yesterdays snow fall- it got me to thinking as I was posting this card.  I could have added some snow flakes onto these trees & in the air too.  This card would also make an awesome winter scene too!

stamp sets: 

• 'Darling Label Punch Box' (words)- page 94 Annual Catalog
• 'Mountain Air' (trees)- page 52 Mini Catalog

card stock:

• Crumb Cake-  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 2 1/4 x 3 1/4"
• Mossy Meadow- 3 x 4"; 1 3/4" strip- cut out  1 1/2" circle
• Whisper White- 2 x 3"- stamp trees onto; 1 3/4" strip- stamp words onto & cut out  1 1/4" circle; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  Magnolia Lane DSP- 5 3/4 x 2"-flag end with Triple Banner Punch; 4 x 1"
ink:  Mossy Meadow
other:  Triple Banner Punch; Big Shot, Magnetic Platform; Layering Circles Dies- 1 1/2" Circle & 1 1/4" Circle; dimensionals

I hope you have a great Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

So Sentimental

This is one of the neatest bundles in the Mini Catalog!  It is on page 20.  Check it out!  It is called- 'So Sentimental' Bundle.......which includes an awesome word stamp set & an amazing die set that coordinates with it!  

The words & the die that I used on this card, are both products included in this 'So Sentimental' Bundle!  WOW huh!  

On one of my demonstrator FB pages, Stampin' Up! did a color challenge!  Here are the 3 colors that they posted & challenged us to create with.

Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie

So I can honestly say......

• I wouldn't probably have ever put these 3 colors together.  
• I can honestly say that I whipped this card up in a matter of minutes.
• I can honestly say that I love the way it turned out!  
• And I can honestly say I'm so glad that someone challenged me to use something that is totally out of my normal & my comfort zone.

So what do you think of it?  I think it is a totally Susie card (other than the colors)!! 

Did you notice the center of my Daisy?  Yup.......I actually used one medium pearl in the center of it & 8 little pearls around it!  But it is soooo pretty!  Especially in person!

When I got the challenge, I grabbed the 3 colors of card stock from my shelf & my container of 6x6 Designer Paper.  The Night of Navy ink pad, Whisper White card stock, stamp set, die, pearls, ribbon, Daisy Punch & Leaf Punch- were all items laying on my counter.....so they are what I used!  

NOTE:  Why did I have these products laying out on my counter?  Well some of them I had just used for the card I posted on yesterdays blog post!  You can check it out by CLICKING HERE!
