Go in the Direction of Your Dreams Card

Word Play Stamp Set, item #120308 - Wood OR item #120651 - Clear

Glimmer Paper comes in 3 color choices:

Champagne, item #127885
Red, item #121790
Silver, item #124005

Each package contains 2 sheets that are 12 x 12.

I used the Oval Accent BigZ Clear Die, item #127005 to cut out the background piece of Glimmer Paper.   The heart was created using the Heart Collection Framelits, item #125599, and the tiny stars were punched out using Punch Pack called Merry Minis, item #126882.

I think this would be a great card for a graduation, new job, and encouragement to try something new.

Is it a Traditional or Is it a Digital Design ???

I'm going to post two photos of cards I created.   Look at them closely and tell me which one is the traditional card and which one is digital.   There is a bit of a variance in color and elements, but overall both of the cards are using the same layout.

Card #1 is the digital version, and Card #2 is the traditional.   I created the traditional version first using framelits, embossing folder, stamps, and embellishments then challenged myself to make a similar card in MDS2.   Both cards are perfect to wish someone a hearty Congratulations no matter what the occasion.

We have no idea what items will be in the new catalog that premieres June 1st.   I can tell you for fact that even if the pleated ribbon is kept (fingers crossed) the Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride would not be offered.  They are part of the In Color group of things that will retire as the end of May 2012.

Also the Occasions Mini Catalog that the ribbon is currently in will end at the end of this month.   So if you love the ribbon, be sure to put your orders in so you don't miss out.

Riding Hood Red, item #125569

Stampin' Up! Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

I spent much of last weekend making cards using my Stampin' Up! Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. I thought it would be fun to show them to you today with just a brief overview of each.


This scallop square card was made using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and the Scallop Square BigZ Clear Die (item #11590). You fold your card stock, then put it thru the Big Shot being sure the the fold is NOT all the way to the top of the die. That way you create the folded card with the scallops on 3 sides.

Bells & Boughs Stamp Set, item #120831 - wood OR item #121142 - clear mount

Watercolor pencils, item #101879 were used to color the design in.

This is one of my favorite cards I have made to date. I love how the crumb cake card stock sponged and stamped with Early Espresso Classic Ink has the look of leather. LOVE IT!

I used Jewels-Pearls, item #119247 to accent the card.

Frame, Oval Scallop, BigZ Die, item #114521.
I actually cut out two of these and glued them back to back on the gate fold card.

Here's the inside of the card, ready for a note.


Can you see what fun I was having with my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine ... item #113439. I used a number of the Embosslits Dies for this card:

Embosslits, Hi, item #115952
Embosslits, Simple Flower, item #114514
Embosslits, Cherry Blossom, item #114516
Embosslits, Flower Burst, item #114515

These beautifully layered flowers were also made with the Big Shot. I put them on card stock that I had misted in color using my Color-Spritzer Tool. There is a tutorial HERE on how to use it.

Flower, Daisies #2 BigZ die, item #114520

When you buy the Big Shot you receive the machine, standard cutting pads and the multi-purpose platform. Stampin' Up! has many exclusive items to use in your Big Shot.

Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, item #113439 and resonably priced at $99.95. I highly recommend this machine. It makes card making, paper crafting, scrapbooking so much easier. The machine is light weight enough to take with you to a crop and is extremely well made. So easy to use too.

If you would like to buy one now, please go to my Stampin' Up! on-line store where you can order 24/7 or contact me directly. If you want to order on-line, click here then click on shop now.

Stampin' Up! Goal Stamp Set - Soccer

Stampin' Up! has a series of sport themed stamp sets. Each set is 2 stamps and is available in wood mount or clear mount. Since one of our neighbor's daughter who is 4 is playing soccer, I decided to make her a card to help cheer her on.

The card is a gate-fold card made with Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White Card Stock. Soccer ball was stamped with Basic Black Classic Ink on Whisper White Card Stock. Accented the turquoise pieces with Whisper White Organza Ribbon.


When the card is opened, there is a soccer ball on the inside too with lots of space for a note. I also stamped a soccer ball on the envelope using Regal Rose Classic Ink.

Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Goal Stamp Set, item #120159 - wood mount OR #120639 - clear mount
.... (soccer ball ... GOAL are the two stamps in the set)
Regal Rose Card Stock, item #105130

Regal Rose Classic Ink Pad, item #105211
Basic Black Classic Ink Pad, item #101179
5/8" Organza Ribbon Whisper White, item #114319

Here are some other sport themed stamp sets on page 89 of the Idea Book & Catalog 2010-2011. Each is 2 stamps in the set ... one stamp is the ball and one stamp is a word pertaining to the game:

Baseball Theme:
Home Run, item #120161 - wood mount OR #120642 - clear mount
(baseball ... HOME RUN)

Basketball Theme:
Slam Dunk, item #117064 - wood mount OR #120552 - clear mount
(basketball ... SLAM DUNK)

Football Theme:
Touchdown, item #120157 - wood mount OR #120636 - clear mount
(football ... TOUCHDOWN)

If you have children in schools sports, these stamps will be GREAT for cards, scrapbooks, and even flyers for the games. These are perfect stamps too for masculine cards that so many have had hard time coming up with ideas for.

Rhinestone Butterflies

Today was filled with phone calls, friends, and Stampin' Up! projects. I had a few cards to make, so decided to use Concord Crush, Poppy Parade and Whisper White. You may know by now that I absolutely LOVE purple and the new Concord Crush In Color is gorgeous. When it is matched up with Poppy Parade, you have a sure winner on your hands. Stampin' Up! has so many great colors to choose from.

I have posted 3 photos of the cards I made tonight. I used the same Stampin' Up! products to create these cards, so will show the cards first then list the products afterwards.



I accented each butterfly with our new Jewel Rhinestones (self-adhesive). The photos don't do them justice as they really sparkle when the light hits them. I highly recommend putting in an extra piece of card stock over these types of embellishments if you plan to mail them. "IF" the embellishment is truly thick or bulky (like a button or bow), the should be put in a padded envelope before mailing.

Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Curly Cute Stamp Set, item #117014 - wood OR item #120510 - clear mount
Concord Grape Classic Ink Stampin' Pad, item #119785

Monday Inspiration: Team Card Swap

We had a team meeting here last Thursday night. It is the first time we have done a card swap. Each person that wanted to participate made a card front of any design that they wanted. The only requirement was that it be made with Stampin' Up! products (logical since we are all Stampin' Up! Demonstrators).

It was fun to see what each person had made, and it will be a great way to share new ideas. We are going to be doing the card swap monthly. I have two more I will post later this week. They are coming long distance, and one of them hasn't arrived yet.

Not everyone put their name or list of supplies on the card front, so I will put in what I have. This way at least you can see the beautiful cards and have them for inspiration.

New In Colors for Stampin' Up!

Early yesterday morning I worked on some cards. I thought it would be interesting how different the same card would look by using different colors and sentiments. I'm very pleased with the results.

I decided to use the 5 new In Colors that were introduced on July 1st. In Colors stay in our color collections for 2 years then will retire. Next year we will have an additional 5 In Colors and they will be around for 2 years also.

The 5 new In Colors are: (on pg 165 of the new catalog)
Peach Parfait
Poppy Parade
Pear Pizzazz
Concord Crush
Blushing Bride
I used both card stock and classic ink in each color.

I used Whisper White Card stock for the card bases.

For the accent strip on each card, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border paper punch. It is item #119275

Stamp Sets used:
Curly Cute, item #120510, clear mount (for the sentiments)
Printed Petals, item #120444, clear mount (for the large flower)

Each flower was hand cut out using paper snips (scissors).

Concord Crush

Blushing Bride

Peach Parfait

Pear Pizzazz

Poppy Parade

Wouldn't these make a great gift if they were put in a box. Easy to make, and perfect for any occasion. There is a tutorial on my blog too for a card box that would be perfect for this set of cards. CLICK HERE to see the box tutorial.

These cards were quick, easy, and look great. Stampin' Up! products may be ordered 24/7 by CLICKING HERE.
