August Paper Pumpkin Kit


These are two of the cards I created from using the August 
Paper Pumpkin kit.
All products used are by Stampin Up. 
The Paper Pumpkin Kit includes everything you need to complete
the cards. 
August kit included:
Blissful Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set
Blackberry Bliss Stampin Spot
10 card bases and envelopes
3 Laser cut vellum sheets
1 sheet of silver foil tags
4 yards of bakers twine
75 Dimensionals
75 adhesive dots
On my alternate card I also used Stampin Up Rhinestones Basic Jewels.
I also made sure to stamp the flowers on the inside of the cards and on
the envelopes. 

These kits are amazing!
I get them every month and I love being surprised by what is in them.
They are good kits to have on hand for when your mojo gets stuck.
I don't know if you have those days but I sure do. 
They are also good for those times when you need a quick card to 
just put together.

This was a rainy weekend where I live, so I had a good excuse to stamp away!
Happy stamping!

Healing Hugs


All products from Stampin Up:
Healing Hugs stamp set
Whisper white, Blueberry Bliss, and
Pineapple Punch cardstock
Everyday Label punch
Glitter Enamel Dots

A friend has asked me to make her
some get well and thinking of you
type cards, so it gave me an 
"excuse" to use my new stamp sets
and inks. The new in colors, stamps,
dies, and embellishments in the new catalog
are to die for!
This stamp set is one of their distinctive
sets which are very realistic looking.
On this card I used a technique I
hadn't used in a while called masking.
I love the end result.

You're A Blessing


I am having so much playing with the
new items from Stampin Up!
This card used the Very Vintage Hostess
set, along with Grapefruit Grove and
Mint Macaron cardstocks and inks.
I also used the Share What You Love
Artisan Pearls.
I used the 1/8 in gold ribbon for
the bow.
The DSP is Nature's Poem.
It's a card that can be used for any occasion.
You will LOVE the new catalog!

Share What You Love Blog Hpp


 Welcome to the Share What You Love
 Blog hop!
 What an exciting and beautiful sweet this is.
I couldn't wait to start sharing and sending cards from this Suite.

 The card I created is using Mint Macaroon 
( So happy it's back!) card stock cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.
 The paper is from the Share What You Love DSP.


 I cut the rectangle and frame out using the Layering Squares Framelit's die set.
 The rose is from the Share What You Love embellishment kit.
 I fussy cut the flowers from the  DSP.
I love the final result.

God is Love Sympathy card


All products by Stampin Up
Hold On To Hope stamp and die 
set bundle
So Saffron cardstock and ink
Old Olive ink
Vellum and whire cardstock
Pearls

I fell in love with this stamp
and die set as soon as it
came out. I thought of all
the beautiful sympathy, wedding,
and encouragement cards
it could make. On this card I
stamped the background with Old olive
ink, but stamped off twice first.
I then covered it with vellum to 
mute it even more.
Every thing is then popped up with
demensionals. I love the triple layered
cross. I will use this to stock up on
my Sympathy cards.

I was enjoying a playday by myself

and wanted to experiment on

I love the outcome, and it could
be used for any occassion.
Happy stamping!

Love, love, love this stamp set and
