Just Believe

I am going to put the Just Believe stamp set away for a while, but here is just one more sample before I do. Like the previous post, I used the Woodland Walk DSP. I just love the colors in this package of paper. This time I also included a matching envelope following the video instructions from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty. Enjoy!

Upsy Daisy--CCMC 112

This morning I decided to get up early and stamp before I went to work. My inspiration was the color challenge from Create With Connie and Mary. They are two very talented stampers!



So here is the card I came up with. I love the new dotted scallop ribbon border punch and, of course, there is nothing like a little glitter to bring an image to life. Enjoy your day!

Elements of Style

Sometimes I just like to color! It takes me back to when I was a kid and loved getting all those new crayons at the start of school. I enjoyed it again when my kids were little and love incorporating it into my stamping once in a while.

Box It Up

I found a tutorial for this cute little box on the right at Tina's My Therapy, My Creations so I made one using some Designer Series Paper from a few years ago when Tangerine Tango was an In-Color. I then decided to increase the size to accommodate a little bigger gift or more candy!





Here are my changes from Tina's tutorial for the larger box .

Start with cardboard covered with cardstock at 4 3/4" by 4 3/4".
Use the large scallop die to cut out the two large circle scallops.
Cut the designer paper at 11 1/4" by 2 1/2" and 11" by 2".
Score at 1/2" lengthwise and cut as outlined on the tutorial.
Cut the inner circles with the Circle Scissors Cutter using the 12th line from the center.
Adhere the large scallop circles to the designer series paper circles using crystal effects.

Enjoy!

Upsy Daisy--Two for One--CCMC110 and Curtain Call Challenge Act 42

I decided to combine the color scheme from Stacy's Curtain Call Color Challenge and the layout from Create with Connie and Mary to make this card. Once I used my markers to create the floral image on the very vanilla cardstock, I used the versamark pad to ink up the entire circle, sprinkled clear embossing powder with dazzling diamonds glitter in it and used the heat gun to set it. I was really pleased how it turned out and thank both these websites for their inspiration.

Lovely As a Tree

I am using one of my all-time favorite stamp sets today--Lovely As a Tree. It has been in the Stampin' Up! catalog for about five years now, and it is one of the best sets ever. Today I chose the layout from Mary Jo Price-Williams' Monday Lunchtime Sketch and decided to go with a holiday theme. I guess it's time to begin thinking about Christmas card ideas so I won't be rushing at the last minute. Enjoy!

Morning Cup

This cute little stamp set along with the Build-A-Bear Workshop Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper (Who said it has to be for little kids?) came together nicely in this gift set I made. I love the fresh, vibrant color combination. It's just screams "SUMMER" to me, and it has been very hot in Minnesota recently. I filled the box with some coffee beans and gave it to a friend of mine. Then I decided to make another card with the supplies I already had on my stamping table using the beautiful wings butterfly die. The box is made using the tutorial I posted in July. Enjoy!
