Bags For Class Using That's The Tag Bundle



I stamped and cut out tags for cute purple bags for 
card class this week. I used the That's The Tag stamp set 
and the Timeless Tags thinlits dies.
I cut the tag in Whisper White and used the leaves or the butterflies
to cut into the tag.
I cut another tag in Mint Macaron glimmer paper to place behind.
I then stamped the flower and cut it out with the dies.
I used the Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron, and So Saffron
markers to cut it. 
 I popped it up after I stamped a sentiment in Sweet Sugarplum.

I hope you have a blessed Friday and weekend!
Can't believe it is the last of March but enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by!

GDP080 Special Reason Happy Birthday




I really like polka dots so that was what stuck me first
about Louise's card.
I love the softness of her card also.
I kept the sketch, the colors and the flower theme.
I used the Mint Macaron polka dots from 2015-2017 in color DSP.
I added some So Saffron and Watermelon Wonder.
Just had to stamp again with the Special Reason stamp set. 
Finished it off with the Petal Burst emboss folder.

Hope you can play along with case the designer

Happy Easter Message


I started this card with heat embossing. 
For my fourth card for class this week, I embossed the cross in gold 
emboss powder and cut it out with the layering oval dies.
I wanted to color it in but loved the natural look just like this!
I added some scallop behind in Soft Suede. 
I then decided I neeeeded to stamp those flowers and palms 
as a background with Crumb Cake ink and the sentiment in Soft Suede.

It is simple but so pretty...especially the gold embossing!

Hope you have a blessed Sunday!

Hoping For Perfect!


I love this color combo together!  I got it right from the designer paper!
SU! always does an awesome job with the designer series papers (DSP).
I used some By The Shore DSP on the side 
and stamped almost all the images from A Day At The Beach
in the three colors-Mint Macaron, Dapper Denim, and Calypso Coral!
I stamped the sentiment from Suite Sentiments and layer it with the 
Tags & Labels dies. Finished it off with some thick twine in Coral.

I love the way it turned out but could see it all in flip flops, too!
Have a wonderful and perfect day!

Adventure Awaites!


My second card for classes next week is a set 
I love but do not use much!  It is called Places You'll Go!
I stamped the globe on Soft Sky card stock in Night of Navy ink.
I used a circle die to cut it out and pop up on globe stand 
stamped in Night of Navy. I stamped the sentiment on 
Calypso Coral and punched it out with the Duet Banner punch.
I used the Sparkle emboss folder with Soft Sky and off centered it
 and added some thick white twine.

This is my first card for classes next week.  I wanted my 
guests to be able to use several of the dies from this set called
Basket Bunch because they are so darn cute!!!
I stamped the basket on Tip Top Taupe in Early Espresso
 and cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the eggs 
also in Espresso and colored them with markers and cut out with dies.
I stamped the bow in Blushing Bride and cut out with dies.
I stamped the bunny(my fav) in Espresso and colored his ears and checks with 
Blushing Bride marker and bow tie with Pool Party marker.
I cut the grass also with matching dies called Basket Builder.
I used the layering square framelits for the scene 
and the sentiment is from the same set. 
I finished it off with the Petals emboss folder and a little 1/8' white ribbon.
Love the way it turned out because it did take a while to design
 and get the way I wanted it.

GDP078 Comforting & Healing to You



Love this card!  Even better than I had pictured it in my head!
Love when that happens (not often for me!)
I started with the DSP on the bottom and stamped on the mint 
background the splatter from Touches of Texture in Craft White.
It came out softer than I wanted but then I liked it that way.
I stamped the sentiment from Flourishing Phrases in Mint Macaron
and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Circle. I then 
cut the multi butterfly die from Timeless Tags in Mint Macaron. 
 The one die cuts all 6 butterflies out at once.
I love how they looked on the background.

I hope you can play along with the sketch challenge over at

Hi There Builder Birdcage!


This is my first time playing with the Builder Birdcage
stamp set my daughter ordered. 
I thought of the Floral Boutique DSP which I seem the be hoarding.
I stamped the three pieces of the birdcage in Night Of Navy. 
I then thought the bird would look nice in yellow.
I stamped in Crushed Curry so I used some Crushed 
Curry for a banner stamped in Night of Navy.
This card is on the way to my mom!

FMS278 Chase Your Dreams




I just received this stamp set called Chase Your Dreams
same day I was designing for this sketch.
I used three water color pencils on a piece of the 
water color paper. I used the Bermuda Bay, Pacific 
Point, and Old Olive.  I then ran my aqua painter
 over the colors for the water color wash,
I then stamped the castle from the stamp set
in Memento Tuxedo Black but I did not like the look.
I then stamped again on a scrap piece of water color paper
and I then hand snipped it out. 
I used a little water color on the castle, too.
I hope you can play along with the sketch this week over

Carried Away Cards Tin


Stampin' Up! is offering free products during our Sale-a-bration 
promotion through the end of March. For every 50.00 you spend,
you can pick a free item from the sale-a-bration (SAB) brochure. 
I spend a lot so I have picked several items and had all I wanted when I 
placed another order and needed to pick more items.  
I decided to get more of these great card tins and decorate them for gifts.
Inside is some dividers you can write on to organize your cards.
I cut strips of Carried Away DSP (another free item in SAB) and glued to the 
tin and then cut the letters out with the Large Letters dies.
I tied some Night of Navy twine to the top to look like they were a banner. 

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

which means I added Calypso Coral to the combo.
The base of the gate fold is Early Espresso card stock 
cut at 5 1/2' x 11" and scored at 2 3/4" on each side.
I added pieces of the Cupcakes & Carousels DSP on the front panels.

 in Early Espresso ink. 
I then stamped the wheel again in Peekaboo Peach

I also used the same die set to cut the bottoms in Bermuda Bay.
I attached each with a dimensional onto the Espresso wheel.
Finished it off with a rhinestone in the middle.

No Stamping Card for FabFri




I decided to make a really quick card!  Why?
Being late at night when I usually do not stamp
 might have something to do with it!
I grabbed my note cards which are always handy
and ready to use.
I cut a few piece of card stock and used a
in color doily that I have loads of in my stash.
I then cut from the Sunshine Wished thinlits dies the word love.
Assembled and was done.....then noticed I had not actually stamped anything.
But I liked it the way it was.

So Inlove i=with this bundle...especially the paper!
Falling In Love DSP is beautiful shaes of sand, blushing, and soft blue.
I created this card for the Ink Big Design Team last month.

I then cut in the sand one of the intricate dies from
So Detailed thinlits dies.
I placed some of the beautiful satin Very Vanilla ribbon down the side.
Finished off with a sentiment banner from So In Love stamp set and

Coral Carousel Card


I did a little casing of a card I saw on Pinterest by 
fellow demo Caro Kaartjes at 
carokaatjes.blogspot.com I think in the Netherlands.
She used some softer shades but I love the vintage look of the coral 
in this DSP stack. I started with a So Saffron base and added two layers of DSP.
Both are the same paper, so in the end, I used one sheet from the paper stack!
I did a scallop circle behind the horse and a pre cut label from the 
Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment kit. 
The tassel, sequins and twine are from the same kit.
Love the vintage look!

I have so much of this free DSP called Carried Away 
from the 2017 SAB, I just neeeeeed to use it!

cutting out a large and a small balloon.

Botanical Boxes




I wanted to show off the open ended boxes 
I made for my guests to carry their cards home from card classes.
I used a few retired colors and retired DSP to decorate the boxes.
Miss Mossy Meadow and Lost Lagoon but new colors come and 
we get attached to those.
Here is a pick of the opening of the box: 

I used the Botanical Builder dies to add on the front
and then used a white accent dot colored black with a black sharpie.

I used a 8 1/2" x 10" piece of card stock.
I scored at 1" and 7 1/2" on the 8 1/2" side.
Scored at 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" on the 10" side.
I cut in on both sides of the 10" side and then attached the sides
to form the box.

I hope you have a blessed Thursday and thanks for
