Stampin' Up! ~ Penned & Painted Birthday

I created today's card for this month's stamp a stack using the stamp set Penned & Painted.  You could actually use this set to create your own DSP pretty quickly.  I think my background kind of looks like I used some DSP, but it was a little boring with just that.  So to change it up a bit I cut out one flower and two leaves and popped them up with dimensionals.  Just by adding a little bit of dimension it changed the card.  

I also used a few rhinestone jewels inside the popped up flower and clear Wink of Stella in the middle of all the other blue flowers and the tiny ones too.  I just could NOT get my pictures to show the sparkle much at all though. :(  That really adds to the card, but that's the way it goes sometimes!

Stampin' Up! ~ Noel

It's been a while since I've posted a Christmas card on my blog.  This week at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday we have a fun sketch for you and the optional technique is beading or anything holiday related.  Since I'm a little behind on my Christmas cards I thought I'd work on a few of those.  It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I used gold Wink of Stella on my flowers.  They're so shimmery and pretty in person!  

Here's this week's sketch challenge #282.  Make sure you check out all the other great cards the designers made HERE and play along if you get a chance. We always love to see what you create!

Stampin' Up! ~ Detailed Floral Birthday

Wow, I see I've been a little lazy with posting lately, but summer is flying by and I feel like I'm missing so much of it. :(  I've still been crafting, but taking a bit of a break from blogging.  I created today's card last week for my sweet sister's birthday.  She's very dear to me along with the rest of her family.

I wanted to use a new stamp set and thinlits that I bought and ending up only using the thinlits, but I'm happy with how it turned out. :)  I added a few pearls here and there along with some clear Wink of Stella to make some of the flowers shimmer.

Stampin' Up! ~ Sponged Florals

It's time for another sketch challenge from Try Stamin' or Not on Tuesday.  I decided to play with a new set that I bought, actually a new thinlit for this week's sketch.  I had to turn the card to get my idea to work, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. :)

This is the sketch for challenge #280.  Make sure you check out all the other cards HERE using this sketch.  They are all so fun and yet very different!  We'd love to see what you create if you get a chance to play! :)

It's hard to tell when looking straight at the card, but I popped the big flower up and tipped the budding flowers up with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! ~ Penned & Painted with Sympathy

I don't know about anyone else, but for me making sympathy cards is the hardest when it comes to making cards.  I want to make sure the person or family I'm sending the card to knows that I truly care about them and what they're going through.  Since I am NOT a writer at all I have I hard time expressing my feelings, so I want the card to help in that area...and that's why I say sympathy cards are the hardest for me to make.  

I almost forgot to take pictures of these cards , but managed to quickly snap a couple of pictures of the group.  I was taking off for a few days and needed to get them mailed out ASAP!

Stampin' Up! ~ Happy Birthday Bloom

Today I have a fun shaker card to show you that I made for my daughter's birthday last month.  Boy are shaker cards hard to get a good picture of!  The light wants to glare off the window sheet!  I finally managed though...whew!  I used some of the left over glitter from this month's Paper Pumpkin kit to put inside.  And I was picky and had to pick through them because I didn't want some of the colors in there.  I also added some hearts in Pool Party using the Confetti Hearts Border punch to fill it up a bit more.

Stampin' Up! ~ Gift of Love

I did it again...I made my card for Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's challenge early (weeks early, believe it or not!), but didn't post it!  Today's card is pretty simple since the optional theme is blue and white...and I actually played along with the theme this time. lol  

This card was really simple to make.  I cut the card stock to the size I needed, stamped the images, did a little sponging on the edges of the white card stock and did a little dry embossing on the card base and blue background piece, attached the pieces together and I was done!
