Statement of the Heart

Today’s card let’s you read Stampin’ Up!’s
Statement of the Heart.
This is our mission statement and how I
try to model my stamping life.
I thought this card was the perfect way to
share my love of stamping.  It is full of
bright colors and uses stamps, punches,
Big Shot and embossing folders.

Statement of Heart logo
The case base is Pool Party with a layer of
Whisper White that is embossed with the
Stylish Stripes embossing folder
(this is on the retired list).
A banner is created with the Triple Banner Punch
and Daffodil Delight cardstock.
Punch a heart from Melon Mambo cardstock
using the heart punch from Itty Bitty Punch Pack
(also on the retiring list).
The Statement of the Heart stamp is
a special stamp that demonstrators could
order a couple years ago — you could
substitute any greeting stamp here.
The greeting is stamped on Whisper White
with Pool Party ink and the end is punched
using the Triple Banner Punch.
The flowers from Petite Petals stamp set
were stamped in Pool Party, Daffodil Delight,
Wild Wasabi, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo inks and
punched out with the Petite Petals Punch.

What a fun card to share with those you love!!

Loads of Thanks

I’ve been making lots of Thank You Cards lately.
I send them to my customers when they place an
order with me — you also get a token when your order
is over $50 — collect 10 tokens and you get a
stamp set FREE.  There is one catch though —
DON’T choose the No Contact button — if you do
I don’t know who placed the order and can’t send you
a special card (sad face).

Anyway, this card is perfect to send to my
customers.  This was another card I saw on the
display boards last month — so cute and “springy”.

Sublime logo
The card base is Thick Whisper White – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Scored at 4 1/4″.  Trim off 3/4″ on front.
Attach a strip of Pool Party cardstock
The wheel barrow full of flowers come from the
Sublime stamp set.  It is stamped with
Archival Black ink and colored in with
Aqua Painters and inks – Wisteria Wonder,
Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi,
Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate.
Punch out flowers using the flower from
Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Petite Petals punch.
Also punch hearts using the Bird Builder punch.
The finishing touch is little dots of Silver Sparkle Details.

Skating By

My oldest grandson has a birthday coming up
later this week.  I can’t believe he’s going to
be 9 already — where does the time go.
I saw this card on a display board last month
at convention and it made me think of him.
I don’t own this Skating By stamp set and
now it’s retiring (darn).
I decided I better share this sample with
you so you don’t miss out — it is perfect for
those boys in your life.

Skating By logoBelieve it or not the card base is
Mint Macaron with a layer of Soft Suede.
Next is a layer of the English Garden design paper.
Didn’t know this print was in there did you?
The boy is stamped with Archival Black ink and colored
in with a Blender Pen or Aqua Painter and
ink pads — Night of Navy, Old Olive, Mint Macaron,
Blushing Bride, Cajun Craze and highlighted
with Sahara Sand.
The camera is stamped, colored, cut out
with Paper Snips and attached with a dimensional.
Two pieces of Pear Pizzazz 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon
and a 2 1/2″ Soft Suede circle were attached
and the boy layers attached with dimensionals.

What a fun card — I really wish I had that stamp set now.
