Delicate Doilies

Happy Saturday to you all!  Today's post is done with Delicate Doilies, another new set to the current IB&C.  You can find it on page 127.

It also uses the flirtatious DSP which is a specialty paper new to this catalog as well.  I used concord crush, peach parfait, and pear pizzazz for my ink and cardstock colors along with whisper white.  Added some pearls for bling--those pearls and rhinestones were the greatest addition to SU's line of products last year.  I use them all the time!  The punches used are the dotted scallop ribbon border and modern label.  Enjoy your weekend!  Thanks for dropping by for a few minutes today.

Masculine Card

So I needed a masculine birthday for my father-in-law last week.  I headed to the Countryside stamp set knowing that it would be the set to use.  You can find it on page 100 of the 2011-2012 IB&C. 

I used some first edition dsp, artichoke, naturals cardstocks along with some watercolor paper.  The greeting comes from the stamp set On Your Birthday (page 163).  I used a square punch to make the banner end--so easy when you do it that way.  A little watercoloring, sponging, and tearing of cs along the way added the textured look I was looking for.  Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your day!



I miss you!

This was a quick and easy card I made with the button buddies stamp set which is a new set to the catalog just released last month.  If you don't have your new catalog and are interested in one please contact me.

Don't ever let your kids grow up and move away!  You will miss them terribly.  I made this card for my daughter who is currently living in Seattle area.  She has a great job there so we are thankful, but I miss her every day.  Okay, back to the card, I used two of the new in colors; calypso coral and wisteria wonder and of course some shimmery white cs as well.  The center of the flower is another new item called designer printed brads.  They have polka dots on them--maybe if you click on the picture you will be able to see them.  These brads are on page 199 of the 2011-2012 IB&C.  They are an assortment of all the new five in colors.   They are sooooooo darn cute.  Button Buddies stamp set can be found on page 71 of the IB&C.  Eight great samples shown on that page too.  I think this book has more samples than before--a lot of new ideas, for sure!  Thanks for stopping by.

With Love and Care

Here are some cards that I made with the hostess set from the summer mini called Love & Care.  Perfect Plum is the color I used. 

I used the first edition and subtles dsp.  Some different punches as each one was slightly different between the modern label, scallop border, scallop circle, word window, etc.  Some had ribbon, some had rhinestones, some had brads, etc.  I used the stamp and write markers to color the flower with perfect plum and old olive and stamped them twice without reinking on the first edition dsp.  Also used very vanilla cs.  A fun card that you can put pretty much any greeting on.  Below is a peek at how I did the inside on some of them. 

Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by!  Back to the hay fields for me for the day!  Hoping the rain will stay away!





New Catalog Time!

Well, once again, it is time for a new Stampin' Up! year.  July 1 unveiled the new IB & C.  Here is a picture of the cover--isn't it beautiful??

You can view it or place orders online at http://www.rheastamps.stampinup.net/   Now onto a bit of creativity to inspire your stamping thoughts.  This card is made with one of the new stamp sets called My Friend.  So fitting to share with all my stamping friends out there. 

I used perfect plum and basic gray for cardstock along with vanilla.  I used a piece of vanilla on the inside as well to cover the basic gray base.  Also showcased in this card is a new punch called lace ribbon border.  I absolutely love this punch.  I added a few rhinestones for bling and the taffeta ribbon is in basic gray as well but this is a discontinued ribbon so if you still have some you are in luck otherwise I would use the perfect plum 3/8 inch taffeta which is new in the current IB&C.  We have lots of new ribbons and colors; be sure to check them all out.  Thanks for stopping by today.
