Mint Watercolor Wings

Love this card but totally cased from Megan Daves in Australia at iteachstamping.com 

I love how she made her own DSP kind of with the dots from this stamp set!  This is the first card for my July card class next week!  I tried to place a sentiment but like it without one.  Plenty of space inside for a sentiment.  I stamped off with Mint Macaron for base of butterfly and then full on with Mint for second layer.  Topped the details with Memento Tuxedo Black.  

Love the new products coordinating like the  Fluttering emboss folder and dies that match this Watercolor Wings stamp set!

   Have a lovely Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

PP251 Blackberry Bird

I decided to cut the circle in the side of the top layer for a different look and stamp the flower on the Very Vanilla base.  I choose this set because I missed playing with this bird... not hand snipping (which I will be doing loads of soon for a 48 card swap with a dragonfly from another set)!

I hope you enjoy your Monday and join the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players.

Dahlia in Plum

First quick card with Definitely Dahlia background stamp.  My Perfect Plum came off light and I re inked my stamp pad but I liked the light look so went with the first stamp.  I added some Tip Top Taupe (which I think looks good with everything) and a quick punch with the Bitty Butterfly punch and done!

Hope your weekend is wonderful and thanks for stopping by!

FMS 192 Happy Colorful Birthday!

Fun sketch this week!   I grabbed a set I have not used in a while.  Missed you Eddy the Octopus! My daughter was helping me pick what to use on the card and she choose this set.  I then looked around at DSP and thought the "bubbles" were cool!  

Thanks for stopping by and head over to FMS to play along!

PPA257 Love Ya Floral Wings

This card makes me smile!  I love the new DSP called English Garden and this stamp set called Floral Wings.  I love the colors together and butterflies and.....I could go on!  I am probably mostly smiling because I know my mom will when she gets this card this week!   She had open heart surgery just a few weeks ago and is still got loads of healing to do.  

Please along with this fun sketch at Pals Paper Arts this week and make/give a few smiles, too!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely Thursday!

Just For You

Trying some different color combos on the butterflies in the Watercolor Wings stamp set.  Nothing fancy here but saw another card on Pinterest that used the background from You've Got This stamp set with a butterfly.  I decided on a simple layout and focus to be on the two butterflies.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

PPA256 Banner Thanks

Sometimes we have have so many awesome paper products that we have no room for stamps!  Well, no really true, the more stamps the better!  But I did not use any on this cute card!

Floral Bling

I have had this envisioned in my head to make but just got the push with a bling challenge (adding bling to a project). Not much here but just a little is good so the flower stays at center stage.  The flower is surprisingly easy to snip out.  Go ahead and try it!

Have a lovely Monday and thanks for stopping by!

FMS190 Lighthouse Hello

I used several new SU! products out of the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog on this card. Love the new 

6"x6" paper stacks including this one called Go Wild. Simple stripes against the new Brick Wall embossing folder.  Love the new stamp called From Land To Sea. I really like the jellyfish as I mentioned this week but my mom loves light houses and this is for her. Last the new thinlits dies called Greetings.  So simple and easy to cut a sentiment and I really love the size and font for them, too!

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

This is my favorite stamp set in the new 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog!

It is called Awesomely Artistic and I love all the details in the set (used many here on my card)!  It also coordinates with several other sets in the catalog like Watercolor Wings, Butterfly Basics, Choose Happiness, etc...

I like these colors together, too! Love the new paper stack called Go Wild..loads of Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe and Whisper White together. I used a striped piece from the pack on this design.

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Come play along with the color challenge this week over at Palspaperarts.com  The color Strawberry Slush is retired now but if you still have some paper or ink, you can use it up here or substitute another pink shade like Melon Mambo or the new in color Watermelon Wonder!

I stamped my "leaves" from the Sheltering Tree stamp set in Strawberry Slush and again in So Saffron to make my border around the sentiment from Lovely Amazing You.  Very quick and easy card!  

Hope you have a lovely Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

You've Got This Bag!

I decorated a gift bag for my class members to carry their cards home from card class this week with the new set called You've Got This and did some watercoloring after loads of paper snipping.

These are actually easy to snip out. I tied a little of the new 1" dotted lace ribbon in the new in color Cucumber Crush to handle.  

Hope you have a fab day and thanks ks for stopping by!

Thinking Of You...

I did a little casing from the new 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog for today's last card for class this week.  I love the new Brick emboss folder they show on page 26 and can't wait to order it but for now I used my fav Honeycomb emboss folder.  I have not used this stamp set in a long time.  Like how this card turned out.  Always love the heat emboss and I picked my favorite color, purple!  Really love the white on purple look, too!  The original card used the new Mint Macaron in color and is very soft and pretty!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!
