Stampin' Up! Wrapped Bouquet Bundle

 You all know that I love black & white cards.
Check out this one!
I used the 'Wrapped Bouquet' Bundle.
 This is a totally Susie card.

But look at how I stepped up this card......
 On the top one I stamped directly onto the Basic White card stock.
On the bottom one I stamped onto a piece of Basic White card stock
die cut it out & then popped it up with dimensionals onto the Basic White layer.
I added in some black leaves that I die cut out. 
And I also colored the flowers, added some Wink of Stella over them 
& put a small pearl in the center of each flower.  
 So which one do you like better?
I think they are both very pretty!
The top black & white one is simple, yet elegant & simple to make.
The colored one is gorgeous, but does take a few more supplies & time to make.
 Don't you think that coloring the flowers gives this an added pop.
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Wrapped Bouquet'
card stock:
  • Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base

Check out these COOL Bravo Dies. 
Where did they come from?
They are the French version of our Happy Dies.
Bravo Dies- #152740= $30.00
on page 178 in the Annual Catalog.  
 I used the Stitched Stars dies for the top swirly stars
& cut them out the Rainbow Glimmer Paper!
NOTE:  The center of the stars did cut out- but I stuck them back inside
the stars to make them solid.
 
Underneath the BRAVO words I added some Artistry Blooms DSP.
Isn't this a bright & cheery card that could be used for many different occasions-
birthday, congratulations, retirement, graduation, etc.
 
Here are the measurements & supplies.
stamp set:  none
card stock:
  • Thick Basic White- 4 1/4 x 11"

Check it out.....
This is what the card looked like before I added the strip of 
Melon Mambo BRAVO over the top of these Mango Melody ones.
 
So which do you like better?  
The Mango Melody words?
OR the Melon Mambo words?
I like the Melon Mambo layered over the top, as I think it makes the card pop more!
 
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch

Oh wow-it is SIMPLE SATURDAY!!!
Look at today's simple card I have to share with you!
 
Can you believe that I used the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch
to make these cut little Jelly Fish!
 
Check out this super simple, yet adorable card!!

A SU! demonstrator from the UK- Sara Sayers
had a jelly fish card posted in one of our demonstrator groups.
I just thought it was so cute- 
so this is my version of Jelly Fish!

I used the Whale of A Time DSP in the Annual Catalog on page 150.
The Jelly Fish are the top of the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch,
punched out of Rich Razzleberry card stock!
And I used the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon
& heated it with my Heat Tool to curl it- for their tentacles.
NOTE:  DO NOT HEAT TOO MUCH- as it will completely melt the ribbon.
I just love it when you can think outside of the box
& create something totally different with a product!
Here are the supplies & the measurements-
stamp set:  'Waterfront' (words); 'Sweet Ice Cream'- dots on the Jelly Fish
card stock:
  • Shaded Spruce- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
  • Rich Razzleberry- 1 3/4" strip- punch out 2 ice cream pieces & stamp dots onto them for the Jelly Fish
  • Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
designer paper:  Whale Of A Time DSP- 4 x 5 1/4"
ink:  Memento (for words); Blackberry Bliss (for dots on Jelly Fish)
other:  Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon; dimensionals; tear & tape (to hold the ribbon tentacles on); Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch

I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!
