Irresistibly Yours!

I am featuring the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalog today!  You can earn this special paper for free when you place an order of $50.00 during the SAb promotion period now through March 31st, 2015.  Free is good!  It has 12 sheets in the package (2 of 6 different prints).

For the above card I decided to try a little spritzing with rubbing alcohol and a few drops of Calypso Coral.  I sprayed several times on the 4' square piece.  It does not come out really dark, which I happen to like!  

Below is another card from this past weekend in which I used the same paper in a different print.  Here I used a sponge straight from the ink pad.

 I also have a video for you to watch at the link below to see the ways you can color this special paper!

Love the new Occasions catty and I think you will, too!  Love the many kits it offers!  

During the Sale-a-bration (SAB) Promotion, you can pick from several free items like stamp sets, DSP, buttons with matching ribbon!  One for each $50.00 in SU! product you spend.  So if you spend 200.00 like I did for pre-order, you will get 4 free items from the SAB.  This promotion will run Jan. 6th thru March 31st, 2015.  

Today's card is from my favorite set in the Occasions catalog called Butterfly Basics.  This stamp set is sold in wood, clear mount and photopolymer. The set can be sold with the Butterfly Thinlits dies in a bundle to save 15%!  I bought this set in clear mount and I love every element in the set.  The dies are so awesome as well!  

 I used the small butterfly stamp and punched out with the Bitty Butterfly punch sold in the 2014-2015 Annual catalog.  I colored my flower with blendie markers also in the new Occasions catalog in Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi.  

I had a piece of Whisper White lying on my work space where I cut out an Apothecary Accents framelits die for another project coming up on Thursday.  It gave me the idea to frame the flowers and it is popped up on dimensionals over the flower.  I added some shadowing with a little pink ink sponged on the inside of the cut out.  

One of my favorite sentiments is this stamp from A Dozen Thoughts and I love how it fit right on a banner across this layout!

Enjoy your Tuesday and happy shopping!

Loads of texture here!  I had this burlap in a 9" square piece on a package recently and threw it in a drawer in my craft room thinking I might be able to use it sometimes. Well, when I saw the re-purpose challenge for The Paper Players, I knew what to use but not sure how I would.  I wanted to stamp on it but the weave was not tight enough for an image.  I then pulled out brads I have not used in a very long time and attached a 4" square to the card stock. Then I decided it had a By The Tide feel and stamped on from there!

Hope your Monday is awesome!

Still loving this Butterfly Basics stamp set!  I decided to play with my Blendabilities markers and do some distressing with this set.  I used my new Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi blendie markers from

the new 2015 Occasions catalog. 

Those markers and this stamp set will be available this week--Jan. 6th.

Wow, last card for January card classes!  Can't believe I got all five designed in one week with a holiday and my daughter home from college invading my stamping space!  Lots of blue but I do love Lost Lagoon.  It is muted and a lovely watercolor type color!  The stamp set and special Designer Series Paper are both from the SAB(sale-a-bration) catalog that starts on Tuesday Jan. 6th. For every $50 you spend on SU! product, you can choose a free item from the SAB catalog. First, the Lotus Blossom stamp set is a three step stamping set. I stamped full color Lost Lagoon with first stamp and then stamped off with same color with second stamp and last, I used the third stamp with Pool Party ink. The stem is a two step and I used Wild Wasabi...love the textured look of the stem!

The specialty DSP called Irresistibly Yours comes white with embossed white images.  It is meant to color either with a brayer or like me, with a sponge!  I sponged Pool Party ink over the paper and I think it gave it a water colored look! I decided to stay with a neutral so added Crumb Cake with my whites and blues!

Love this paper with 6 different designs!  Many possibilities and hope my class loves "coloring" their DSP!

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

Fourth card for upcoming January card classes!

Love the new Chalk paper and Colorbox chalk inks...just something different!  I know this layout is not exciting but I wanted the focus to be the new paper and ink which look more vibrant in person!  So refreshing to be playing with spring colors and getting more cards in my birthday stash! I used a stamp set called Big Day and a piece of designer series paper (DSP) called Best Year Ever. You can earn them for free with each $50.00 in Stampin' Up! product you purchase during the Sale-a-bration (SAB) sales period-Jan. 6th through March 31st.  

Have a blessed day!

Happy Happy New Year 2015!

Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

Love this set!  I think I said that yesterday! But I love playing with the Butterfly Basics set and thinlits/framelits.  I used a sentiment from the set and then I cut out the medium size butterfly with silver foil and Night Of Navy card stock and layered for a shadow look.  I did some casing from Justin Krieger at jkcardsonline.com for this layout.  I knew as soon as I saw his card from his Decmeber 22nd, 2014 post that I must make one.  So when saw the color combo for the challenge I decided it was my time! Don't forget: new product to play with coming soon....January 6th starts the new 2015 Occasions catalog which includes the Butterfly Basics stamp set and thinlits bundle!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will play along with the Pals color challenge this week!

Have a safe holiday!
