Card: Star of Wonder Book Binding Style

Hello!

We made this card at my recent Coffee & Cards event.  What a fun time we had!

This card is my interpretation of a card design I received from a fellow Demonstrator via email.

It turns out I was a little "off" but it's ok!  I love how mine came out and that's all that matters :)   It's actually more fun to put your own "spin" on things anyway!  Right?

If you would like to create your own interpretation of this card, I have the shopping/supply list posted for you below!

Card: Stampin' Up! Distressed Metal Seasonal Bells Version 2

Hello!
Today I am sharing Version 2 of yesterday's card, featuring the Distressed Metal Technique. 

I turned it on it's side and changed my primary color to Cherry Cobbler.  I also embossed my bells with Silver EP instead of the Copper.

Which one do you prefer?

Happy Stamping!

Card: Stampin' Up! Seasonal Bells Are Ringing

Hello!

Today I am sharing a card using the Distressed Metal Technique. 
I was inspired by a card shared by a fellow Demonstrator.  She shared her card on our private Facebook group and I just changed it up a little bit.  

I used Copper Embossing Powder on my background piece as well as on my Garden Green bells.  I think my card came out pretty cool.  


Stay tuned because I'll be back tomorrow with another version I'm working on: using Cherry Cobbler!

Card: Stampin' Up! Delicate Ornaments Christmas Card

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a quick Christmas card with you featuring the Delicate Ornaments Framelits. They really shine with a Rhinestone in the center and topped by a gold foil bow!

To get more mileage from your Silver Foil Paper, die-cut your ornaments from the mat piece!  It will be hidden under the embossed white panel and no one will ever know :)



I heat embossed my Merry Christmas with Silver EP to finish it off.

Card: Stampin' Up! Wonderful Year Watercolor

Hello!

Yesterday, I posted a Birthday card created with the Wonderful Year stamp set (see it here).  

While I had the supplies out on my desk, I played around with it using a Watercolor Wash background.  


My greeting is embossed over the watercolor wash with White Embossing Powder.  I also inked my die-cut, and heat embossed it, to give it some extra stability and shine!

As I mentioned yesterday, because our Note Cards come with coordinating envelopes - you get 20 cards & envelopes in each package - I was able to dress-up a coordinating envelope as well!  

We created this at my recent Coffee & Cards event and had a lot of fun discovering how differently each background turned out.  If you would like to create this card yourself, I have posted my supply list below.

Happy Stamping!

Card: Stampin' Up! Wonderful Year Birthday

Hello!

I recently posted this card highlighting the Wonderful Year stamp set.  

Most definitely a Mary's Must Have stamp set!




I wanted to try to stretch my stamps beyond Christmas cards and I thought this message would make a fabulous Birthday Card!  

I used the same design as my Christmas version but changed the colors and added some punched balloons with my Balloon Bouquet punch.  

Because our Note Cards come with coordinating envelopes - you get 20 cards & envelopes in each package - I was able to dress-up a coordinating envelope as well!  

What do you think?
I gave it to my hubby for his Birthday :)
