Still Stamping With Sue

Congratulations Card using the Special Reason Stamp Set

 

The Special Reason Stamp Set has been sitting in my craft cupboard for a few months, along with the coordinating Stylish Stems Framelits Dies. It was time to dust both of them off and start creating with them. 

 

The Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) provides the subtle and beautiful background. The large flower from the Stylish Stems Framelits was cut from a 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" piece of Mint Macaron Cardstock. It was attached with Dimensionals to the DSP. The sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and punched out with the Classic Label Punch. 

 

The finishes touches are a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow and a large Pearl. Another simple, yet elegant card!

It is a waiting Wednesday for me, as my hubby is due home from Florida tonight. I'm leaving Thursday morning for a weekend retreat in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with three of my team members and other friends. Perfect time to get away, as I have to make a lot of card swaps for Stampin' Up!'s OnStage and CenterStage events, which are in Minneapolis next week. I'll give you one guess who gets to see the upcoming Annual Catalog?

 

Guy Greetings Stamp Set - Mojo Monday #490

 

My inspiration for today's card came from the Mojo Monday website. I used the Guy Greetings Stamp Set for this week's card sketch challenge. You can click on the sketch below and see the other projects using this sketch.

 

 

 

Perfect timing for this card sketch. I found out this afternoon that we have a last-minute surprise 65th birthday party to attend. I decided to use the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Silver Foil Sheets for this card.

 

 

Since the birthday boy is a grease monkey, the Guy Greetings Stamp Set was perfect to use on the inside of the card with the Black Memento Ink Pad.

 

 

The Large Numbers Framelits were cut from the Silver Foil Sheets. Then they were placed inside the Hexagons Textured Embossing Folder and put through the Big Shot. They look like chrome and are so striking.

I've been cleaning out closets, drawers and cupboards, in addition to doing Spring cleaning. Time to clear out the clutter inside, so I can get outside. I'm itching to put the furniture on the front porch and get the yard decorations out. Today was in the high 60's and sunny, so my Spring fever is running rampant! I hope you are having a tremendous Tuesday!!!

Botanical Garden Card Set-March Bonus Project!

 

As a Guest Designer at Craft Project Central this month, I am posting the last photograph of a project that you may want to learn more about. 

 

You might still have snow on the ground, but you will be bringing Spring into someone’s life. Make this bright and cheerful floral card set for a cherished friend. You will learn to make three different shaped cards (a flower pot, a cupcake and a triangle). These shaped cards will WOW! the recipients and will make you the star. Also, learn how to add movements to small embellishments with an easy step.

 

This project was designed by Monika Davis. You can get her step-by-step tutorial when you subscribe to any of the three, six or 12 month subscription packages at Craft Project Central.

 

I hope you had a spectacular Sunday!

 

Fast & Simple Card using the Perfect Mix Stamp Set

 

Today's card reminds me of the first time I learned how to rubber stamp. I stamped the image in Basic Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. That was over 20 years ago! Papercrafting certainly has changed a lot since then. 

 

 

Using the Perfect Mix Stamp Set makes me smile. The images remind me of memories cooking and baking in the kitchen.

 

My go to color combination is always black & white, plus any other color. Today's any other" color is Emerald Envy. Love the deep, rich tones in this green. It was embossed in the Festive Embossing Folder.

 

 

A tiny bow from the Emerald Envy Solid Baker's Twine was attached with a Glue Dot. And, the final embellishment is an Emerald Envy star from the In Color Enamel Shapes.
