Tone on Tone Elegance

Whisper White Version

 Very Vanilla Version

I love the elegance of one color cards.   Decided to make a couple myself yesterday morning.  I wish the camera would of picked up the difference in color more to show you.   Cards are the same design except for the type ribbon I used.

Change out the sentiment to make it perfect for any occasion.

Tone on Tone Card

I used Crumb Cake Cards Stock with Early Espresso Ink to create this card.   I haven't added a sentiment yet, but think it will be a birthday card.  The Daydream Medallion Stamp Set is a perfect match with the Floral Frames Framelits.

Did you notice the ribbon?   It is the new 7/8" Cotton Ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog.   The ribbon is stampable.  I used one of my medallion stamps, but you could use any stamp you wanted.   I used our Classic Ink too.

Birthday Card For a Friend

I was going thru some of my retired items the other day and came across this window sheet overlay (we no longer sell them).  When I found it I knew it would be perfect for a birthday card I needed.  I like the bright colors in the card.

Stars and Butterflies Light up The Sky

This card was created using scraps of card stock, glimmer paper that I had on hand.  When I put the red and blue card stock together, it reminded me of a night sky.   Then the butterflies and stars had the sparkle and shine.   Just a fun card to create, and a great way to use leftover card stock.

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.

The heart was created using the Heart Collection Framelits, item #125599.   Butterflies were punched out using the Elegant Butterfly Paper Punch, item #127526, and the tiny stars were punched out using Punch Pack called Merry Minis, item #126882.

Thank You Card With Tiny Purse

As many of you know, I am also an Independent Miche Representative.   When someone orders (also with Stampin' Up! orders), I always send out a Thank You note to my customer.   I thought the added purse stamps on the inside of the card and on the envelope were perfect for Miche thank you notes.

I used the Labels Collection Framelits (item #125598) for the card front.
The Thank You is from a Hostess Rewards Stamp Set called Wacky Wishes.
The Tiny Purse is from the Hostess Rewards Stamp Set called Carry On.

Any customer that places an order of a minimum of $150 (before tax and shipping) qualifies for hostess rewards.   Here is more information about hostess rewards ... CLICK HERE.

Scentsational Season Bundle And Card Samples Day 5

 This is the last in my series for Scentsational Season Bundle And Card Samples that begin on my blog last Wednesday, August 15th.  I had such fun creating this card.  I had seen a card made by Shelli Gardner (co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!) on her blog, and decided I wanted to give it a try using my own spin of it.   Here's what I came up with:

 Front of the card.

Inside of the card.

Back of the card.

Candy cane image acting as a latch.  It is placed (not glued) under the brads.

Slide the candy cane image up to open the card.

Well, what do you think?  I'm really pleased with the result.  The Candy Cane stamped image and framelits (candy cane & larger tree) are from:

The next few days I want to show you some of the cards I made using the Scentsational Season Bundle.  Here are my first samples.  Oh my gosh, I think the little gingerbread man is going to be one of my favorites.   It is so wonderful to have a stamp set and a Framelits set work together or they can be used individually on their own.

To make these cards, I stamped the images on Whisper White Card Stock, then using my Big Shot and the Framelits Dies - Holiday Collection I individually cut out each image.   I added dimension to each one by putting Stampin' Dimensionals underneath.   Trees were stamped with Old Olive, gingerbread man was done with Early Espresso, and the sentiment was Raspberry Ripple.   Wacky Wishes (Hostess Rewards) is the stamp set that the sentiment came from.

Halloween Card Using My Digital Studio 2 (Stampin' Up!)

 
Since this whole week has been hot, I'm focusing today on cooler weather and Halloween.   I used quite a bit of tricks to create this cute Halloween card.   The cat was facing right, so I copied and flipped him over to face left also.   The pumpkin was black so I changed him to Pumpkin Pie.   The eyes and mouth are a circle punch of daffodil yellow moved backward - doesn't it look like it is has a candle inside.   The Happy Halloween was a black digital stamp that I used the color change for to create the two colors.   The large bat didn't have any eyes, so I used small digital pearls to create them.  I think they look rather spooky and perfect for this card.   The background was a large 12 x 12 scrapbook page (digital), I used only the upper left hand portion by cropping it out.  It has the neatest looking texture.

I have samples on my blog all this week for My Digital Studio 2.   There are also links to the videos and forums.   Take a moment to go back and look.  

I hope many of you will decide to try My Digital Studio 2 also.   I doubt that I will ever give up my traditional stamping, but this way is sure fun too.

Imagine The Possibilities Digital Card Front

I'm still trying different techniques with the new My Digital Studio 2.   One of the new features is that you can add in "splatters" of color to a design.   There are a number of different versions/styles to choose from with this option too.  When I started with this card front, it was a blank white canvas so to speak.   Then I added in the background color and started to play with different embellishments, colors and shadows.   It required me to "Imagine the Possibilities" so I thought that sentiment was perfect for this card front.

Did you notice how distinct the scallop heart is?   That is because I added in a black drop shadow.  You can change the colors of the shadow and even blur it in different amounts.

My Digital Studio - Stampin' Up! Supply List:

Background
     Card Stock\Marina Mist

Stamps
    Splatters\Ink Splatters\Ink Splatter 5, Color = RIDING HOOD RED 190,64,75
    Word Play\Word Play - imagine whole, Color = BASIC BLACK 19,27,29

Punches
    Hearts\Hearts Collection 2, Fill Color = BLUSHING BRIDE 243,182,177

My goal this week is to give you five days of digitally created cards using My Digital Studio 2.   So there will be one more tomorrow.    My cards this week haven't even touch the tip of the iceberg of what can be created with this program.

When I am printing these at home, I save them as a jpg file, and then print it out on photo quality paper.  The photo becomes my card front which is attached to a card base.  This makes it a "hybrid" card.   Hybird means it is part digital, part traditional.   I could add in ribbons, pearls or other embellishments to accent the card even more.

Just a reminder that Stampin' Up! has a fantastic website set up for MDS2.  It is loaded with training videos and forums.   CLICK HERE.   It seems like there is always someone there to help with questions and answers.   I'm learning so much.   I've been on the site daily.
