Awesomely Artistic Friends

This month's Stamp of the Month Class features the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.
This set is amazing.  There are so many possibilities.
This card was a sample that we made at this month's
Stamp & Go Hostess Club Classes.
Awesomely ArtisticThe base of the card is Watermelon Wonder with a layer of Tip Top Taupe.
For the white layer I used Stampin' Up!s Shimmer Cardstock to add a little
glimmer to the card.  On a small piece of the Shimmer cardstock I stamped the
label with Tip Top Taupe ink and FRIEND with Watermelon Wonder ink.
I also stamped the dragonfly with Watermelon Wonder ink.
We cut the dragonfly out with paper snips.  The label was cut out using
the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits.
We inked up the "splotches" and burlap stamps with Tip Top Taupe ink
and stamped off before stamping on the Shimmer cardstock.
The flowers were stamped with full strength Tip Top Taupe ink.
Next I used the Watermelon Wonder marker to color in a few flowers.
Then with a sponge dauber and Watermelon Wonder ink I lighted dabbed
on a bit of color and then assemble the card.
I used dimensionals to add the dragonfly and label.

Wild About Flowers Birthday

Wild About Flowers is a great new stamp set.
Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz and Elegant Eggplant is a great color combination.
Put these two GREAT items together and you get a FABULOUS card.
Wild About FlowersThe base of this card is Wisteria Wonder.
We added strips of Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Elegant Eggplant.
First we stamped the Happy Birthday on the Whisper White strip. 
The words are from the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set, which is a
Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set.
Then we embossed all three strips with the Elegant Dots embossing folder
and adhered to the front of the card.
We stamped the Wild About Flowers stamp on a piece of Whisper White
cardstock using Pear Pizzazz an Wisteria Wonder ink and then
punched it out using the 2 1/2" circle punch.
This was adhered to a piece of Elegant Eggplant  that was cut out using
the Circle Collection Framelits.
Add the circles to the front of the card using dimensionals.
Oh, and don't forget to add some tiny pearls to the center of the flowers

Christmas in July

One of may favorite things about the new Stampin' Up! catalog is they put
Christmas stamps in there again — YAY!!!
I know it's only July but I thought is might be time for a little Christmas in July.
Every BlessingI love that we have a fabulous religious stamp set.
The base of this card is Marina Mist. 
We cut an oval opening in the card front using the Oval Collection Framelits.
Then the front of the card was embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder
(I told you this was my favorite).
The shepherd image was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Marina Mist ink and then adhered inside the card.
Stamp the words on a strip of Whisper White cardstock with Marina Mist ink and trim
the ends for a banner.  Attach across the front of the card with a dimensional on each end of the banner.
I can't wait to mass produce a few of these cards.<
