May 31, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Retired List |
It’s the Triple Treat Flower stamp with a neat technique using the Big Shot.
The stamp is one of the A la Carte stamps in the catalog. And it’s retiring today – May 31st. It’s the last day of our catalog. The neat trick on this card is the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder. I found the card idea on Pinterest and a link to the blog with the technique. With the little embossing strip folders this would be much easier to accomplish.
Here are the supplies –
Card Stock – Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Classic Ink – Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Domestic Goddess Designer Paper (R)
Triple Treat Flower stamp (R)
Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon (R)
Designer Printed Brads
Fancy Flower Punch
5-Petal Flower Punch (R)
Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder
I’ll be back later with more. I can’t believe it is already May 31st.
May 30, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Retired List, Thank You |
So here is one more card for you for today – this one is a card idea from Mary Brown – that would be Mary from Create with Connie & Mary – I was on their design team a while back for some of their online classes. The link should be in my side bar on my blog. I know they are doing weekly challenges and I need to try to do some of those. This was one of Mary’s cards for one of the challenges and I thought it was so cute. I have just now started using the Domestic Goddess Designer Series paper and there is only one more day that you can order it from the catalog. Why did I wait so long? Well I guess I should show you the card –
I always forget about the little Floral Fushion sizzlit die – and for a few dies I thought it was on the retiring list – but its not – phew….. but of course some of the other supplies used for this card are on the list – you have the rest of today and tomorrow to place an order from this catalog. Then on Friday June 1st will be the transition to the new catalog – we can start ordering at 2 pm our time.
supplies –
Heard from the Heart stamp set (R)
Card stock – Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Basic Gray and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers
Domestic Goddess Designer series paper (R)

May 30, 2012 | Cards, Pocket Silhouettes, Retired List, Thank You |
These projects that I’m showing you this week are from classes that I have had this month and some including this one will also be in my Card Maker’s Club class which is today (Wednesday). I really like the softness of this card – the idea came from one I saw on Pinterest (so many great ideas not just for crafts but recipes too).
The base of the card is Sahara Sand and then the four panels on top are Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze, Sahara Sand and Basic Gray. Each one is stamped in VersaMark ink with one of the flower images in the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set – this one is on the retiring list. I sponged all the panels and the strip across the front with Sahara Sand ink. There are two brads on the left and the sentiment on the right side of the strip. I made this a thank you card but it would work for a sympathy card too.
I also wanted to mention that I have a New Catalog Open House on Sunday! Come see the new In-Colors and try out the new ink pads. I have catalogs, Make-n-takes, snacks and more. Bring a friend and come see me. Details are on my website.
I’ll be back later –
May 29, 2012 | Birthday, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Retired List |
Hi – I’m back for my second project for today (my first posted late last night). This idea was also from Pinterest – a non-Stampin’ Up! card idea. This one is great for using Designer Paper scraps.
These are strips of Designer Paper that are rolled up with a little piece of Baker’s Twine glue to the center for the candle wick. Make a bunch of candles and just glue them to the front of the card. Then stamp Happy Birthday underneath. Or add the number of candles for the birthday that is being celebrated. I decided to add a matching envelope made out of the same designer paper using the Simply Scored tool.
It is a bright fun birthday card with the Big Top Birthday Designer Series Paper. Use a different designer paper to change the look of the card. There aren’t too many different products on this card. The retiring products are marked with an (R).
Designer paper – Big Top Birthday (R)
Card stock – Daffodil Delight
Classic ink – Real Red
Bring on the Cake Stamp Set
Whisper White Baker’s Twine
Simply Scored Tool
Come back tomorrow for some more projects featuring retiring products. We are winding down to the last few days to order.
May 28, 2012 | Cards, Retired List, Season of Friendship |
I thought this would be the perfect card to share on Memorial Day since it is very patriotic. I found this idea on Pinterest from another demonstrator – the original creator (at least the watermark on the photo) is Heidi Baks. Here is my version.
Some of the supplies are retiring including the Season of Friendship stamp set. I love that you can use this set for all the seasons so its good all year long. And it works great in scrapbooking – I’ll have a layout later this week that uses it. So here are the supplies (R=retiring product):
Stamp set – Season of Friendship (R), On Your Birthday (R)
Card stock – Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla
Classic ink – Early Espresso, Night of Navy
Designer paper – First Edition, Regals Collection
Ribbon – Cherry Cobbler 1-1/4″ Striped Grosgrain (R), Linen Thread
Punches – Modern Label, Word Window, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Small Oval
White Gel Pen
If you were wondering why I was missing all week, I wasn’t out of town, but I spent the whole week trying to finish all my entries for the Artisan Design Team Contest at Stampin’ Up! As the deadline approached I was spending all my time on those projects – trying things, not liking them, trying other things, tweeking what I already made, and so on. So I neglected my blog for the week. Finally on Saturday morning I was able to take it all to the UPS store to ship it to Stampin’ Up!. I hope I at least make it to the finalist stage. We had to create 10 projects – 5 cards, 3 scrapbook pages, and 2 3D items – all new projects so you haven’t seen them before – I’ll share them later after the results of the contest are announced.
It was also the last week of school – with early release days for part of the week. I had a scrapbook class on Friday – I’ll share those pages later. So this week I’m going to try to post two projects each day – I have a bunch of them using retired product – this is the end of our catalog so you only have a few more days to order before many things are gone for good.
Have a Happy Memorial Day!
May 17, 2012 | Baroque Motifs, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Retired List, Wedding |
Just a really quick post today – busy, busy….
Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. Baroque Motifs and Sincere Salutations – both retiring. Mocha Morning Designer Paper – also retiring. Butterfly Punch – yep it’s retiring. The Neutrals 5/16″ brads – I think those are staying. Also the Simply Scored was used but you can’t see it much in this picture. Card Style idea from Cindy – we used this style in our MDS club class and I have those to share too – I don’t think I already did it so those will be on another day since we made several designs. Gotta go….
The stamp is one of the A la Carte stamps in the catalog. And it’s retiring today – May 31st. It’s the last day of our catalog. The neat trick on this card is the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder. I found the card idea on Pinterest and a link to the blog with the technique. With the little embossing strip folders this would be much easier to accomplish.
