"Casing" a Favorite Demonstrator

This card is a "CASEd" card (Copy And Share Everything) from a fellow demonstrator from Germany, Jenni Pauli.  Her work is amazing and mine doesn't really live up to hers, but it was fun to try.  I think I would like it better had I not textured the card stock -- the texture grabbed the ink a bit too much.

I applied ink to the Whisper White Card Stock that I had embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder.  Using a Stampin Sponge I applied the following inks with a light touch Mink Macaroon, Golden Glitz Delicata, Daffodil Delight and I think a touch of Crumb Cake.  Don't miss the opportunity to get the silver Delicata ink, the gold and copper just sold out!

The leaf is cut from the Tropical dies from Mink Macaroon Card Stock.  I stamped the greeting from Rooted in Nature in Memento Tuxedo Black on Whisper White Card Stock and cut it using one of the dies from the Ornate Frames Dies. The frames are in the Holiday Catalog and are only available through January 2 -- you don't want to miss them.

I pierced holes in the label with the Take Your Pick Tool and threaded Linen Thread through.  The label is mounted with Dimensionals

I finished it off adding some sequins from the Iridescent Sequin Assortment and the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins.  Again, using that great Take Your Pick Tool to pick up and place the sequins.

Thank you for looking! If you are looking for a demonstrator I would love to be your source for Stampin' Up! product.  You can shop 24/7 from my online store where you can find the products I used in this project and all things Stampin' Up!  Be sure to use my November Host Code KKADFUQM. Happy stampin'!

Waterfront + Fruit Basket = Birthday in Paradise

I'm loving this new set, Waterfront!  It arrived just in time to make a birthday card for my sister who is celebrating her birthday in Hawaii!  Couldn't wait for her actual birthday so gave it to her early!  It reminds me of a time we were together sipping a fruity cocktail from a Grand Wailea pineapple cup -- didn't stay at that hotel, but the beach in front of it is a favorite of ours and they are happy to sell the drinks to anyone! I've only used the more tropical look but the Waterfront set works for mountain scenes as well.

Since I've already given the card to my sister and I failed to make note of the colors I used I'm going from memory for the supplies.

In addition to the Waterfront stamp set, I used the Fruit Basket Bundle for the pineapple.  The Itty Bitty Punches are truly itty bitty and I LOVE THEM! I used the straw from a retired set, 3 Cheers for You.

The greeting was easy to curve.  The Fruit Basket set is photopolymer so it was easy to place on the clear block and mirror the curve of the circle dies.  I love the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  

Supplies:

Fruit Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set
Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp Set
Itty Bitty Punch Pack
Stitched Shapes Framelits
Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon
Mini Stampin Dimensionals to pop up the pineapple and stamped layer

Pretty in Pink Happy Birthday

I was challenged to make a card using Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride & Watermelon Wonder.  Here is what I came up with.

The pink ink behind the word happy is Blushing Bride applied to the Very Vanilla layer with the sponge brayer.  It was actually the first time I'd used the brayer and I really liked it.

I cut "a bunch" of flower and leaf elements from the Botanical Builder Framelits using Blushing Bride and Watermelon Wonder Card Stock.  I cut the word "happy" from the Hello You Thinlits using Early Espresso Card Stock.  Used Tombow Adhesive to arrange the leaves, flowers and word.

I added some Rhinestones to the flower centers, stamped "birthday", from Number of Years, in Watermelon Wonder Ink then immediately sprinkled Clear Embossing powder on it and embossed it.  You have to be quick or the ink dries and won't emboss.

The base card is Very Vanilla with an Early Espresso layer between the base and top layer. This is a simple card that makes a big impact. I leave the edges of the flowers and leaves unglued to give more dimension to the cards, but it still mails nicely.

Thank you for looking!  All the products I used can be purchased through my Online Store.  If you order be certain to use the November Host Code XBXTGGM2 for orders less than $150 in product.  A $150 order qualifies for FREE product!
