Recover Rapidly - Get Well Card

Hi All,

I used the bandaid from Patterned Occasions (Sale-a-bration) stamp set 

to make a background piece.

I then stamped the Sick phrase from the Wordplay stamp set and cut it out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits dies and sponged the edges.

I C.A.S.E.D this idea for the inside of the card from Brandy's Cards.

A nice little interactive feature.

Up in the Air...

Hi All,

So sorry I've been a lazy blogger the last couple of weeks, but I've been busy elsewhere in my life too.

I made this card a couple months ago for my Stampin' Up workshop.

Starting with a pool party base of 4 1/2" x 11" (folded in half).

I then ran a pool party piece of 4" x 5 1/4" through my Vine Street embossing folder (Sale-a-Bration)

and adhered it to the base of the card.

Using Summer Starfruit and Rich Razzelberry I double stamped the hot air balloons from the Up, Up & Away (122757) stamp set and then the flags in Tangerine Tango on Whisper White

and fussy cut all of this out.

Behind the balloon, I die cut a piece of Whisper White with the Labels Collection Famelits (125598) and ran that piece through the Cloudy Day embossing folder (127022). The strip of designer paper Sycamore Street and the Tangerine Tango ribbon are both Sale-a-Bration items.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on Whisper White and punch it out using the Large Oval punch (119855) and added a few small hearts.

Remember, you can order all these items off my Stampin' Up! website.

For You...

I made this shape card using the Floral Frames Framelits die(127012).

I started by die cutting the card base of Raspberry Ripple card stock(115316).

The second layer was die cut from one of the pattern papers from 

Sycamore Street dsp(Sale-A-Bration 127540) using the #2 die in the framelits set.

The butterfly is the beautiful Swallowtail(129216) image from the 2012 Spring Mini which I stamped with Versa mark(102283) and then black heat embossed(109133) on Whisper White(100730).

I coloured in the image with coordinating ink using Stamping Sponges(101610), then strategically die cut the image using the #3 die in the framelits set.

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners(126257) and co-ordinating Bitty Banners Framelits (129267) dies. The pearls(119247) added an elegant touch.

For You...

Hi All

A simple card today using some Stampin' Up goodness.

I started by adhering 3 strips of pattern paper from the Festival of Prints Designer series paper stack on Very Vanilla(101650) card stock, then run it through the Honeycomb(129378) embossing folder. I stamped this 'For You' label from the Layered Labels(127072) stamp set in Island Indigo(126986) and Cherry Cobbler(126966), die cut the Island Indigo piece using the Apothecary Accent dies(127003) and punched the Cherry Cobbler using the 1 3/4" x 7/8" Large oval punch(119855) and popped it up using stampin' dimensionals. Punched a hole on either end of the label and attached it with Linen Thread(104199).

The Beautiful Wings Embosslits die(118138) was used to make the lovely butterflies which I adhered with glue dots.

I then put the whole on a Island Indigo(122923) card base.

Remember if you need to, you can order 24/7 by clicking on my Stampin' Up site.

It's a recipe for cosmopolitans.

Wish You Were Here...

Just another card today.

I made this one using this stamp set from

Technique Tuesday - Wish you were here.

Love this set, its so girly.

I coloured up the image using my Copic Markers, cut it out and popped it up using some Stampin' demensionals on Whisper White. By backing the image with some Old Olive cardstock from Stampin' Up, I was able to tie it to the designer paper from 

Crate Paper, the 6x6 paper pad is called Farmhouse. 

I then added a button and some twine and adhered it to a card base of 

Cherry Cobbler, also Stampin' Up.

Thanks so much for stoppin' in...

FCCB 147 - Queen of Hearts

"Popping up... to say Happy Valentine's Day"

Hi all,

The challenge this week over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog is Queen of Hearts, include a heart on a project.

So I came up with this shape card looking through my Cricut cartridges for inspiration. 

When I saw this cute toaster, the sentiment came to me immediately. 

The sweet little toaster is from The Nifty Fifties cartridge and the 

Heart popping out of the toaster is from Accent Essentials.

I used Lawn Fawn's Jessie's ABC's to make the sentiment (the rest is on the inside).

Be sure to check out the other talented ladies.
