Gorgeous Gingham Garden!

This bright and cheery little card uses the new Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape, new Honeycomb Embossing Folder, new Hexagon punch, new Candy Dots, and new Six-Sided Sampler stamp set.  (Try saying that 3 times fast!)  I love the color combination of Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.  And, the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and the Hexagon punch are very trendy right now.  Plus, you can get the stamp set and the coordinating Hexagon punch as a bundle and save 15%!  How great is that? 

Wood Mount Bundle  Catalog #132725  $36.50
Clear Mount Bundle  Catalog #132724  $29.50

I cut the top edge of the Daffodil Delight card stock at an angle and then ran it through the Big Shot using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  I attached the Daffodil Delight to the bottom of the Whisper White card stock, then I simply applied the Gingham Garden Washi Tape to the Whisper White card stock starting with the Melon Mambo tape along the edge of the Daffodil Delight card stock.  Follow with the floral washi tape, then the Daffodil Delight washi tape.  The best part about washi tape is that you can lift it up and move it if you need to make a change -- I love it!

Here are the products I used for this card:

Stamps:

Six-Sided Sampler

Paper:

Melon Mambo

Whisper White

Daffodil Delight

Ink:

Daffodil Delight

Night of Navy

Accessories:

Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape

Candy Dots

Basic Rhinestones

Paper Piercer

Essentials Paper Piercing Pack (I use it as a guide to space the Candy Dots and Rhinestone evenly)

Honeycomb embossing folder

Stampin’ Dimensionals

Hexagon punch

 

I'll be back soon with some more creations.  Until then, have a great day!

 

Hello, Dahlia (pardon the pun!)

Hello!  One of my favorite new stamp sets is Regarding Dahlias.  And, I am so happy that Bermuda Bay, a former In-Color, is now a part of our Stampin' Up! color palette.  Bermuda Bay and Crisp Cantaloupe are the perfect color combination that just says "Summer" to me. 

This card was quick and easy to make, and the new 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Trim is the perfect touch to highlight the stamped image.  The products I used to make this card are:

Stamps:

Regarding Dahlias

Paper:

Bermuda Bay

Crisp Cantaloupe

Whisper White

Ink:

Bermuda Bay

Crisp Cantaloupe

Accessories:

Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Bitty Butterfly punch

3/8” Ruffle Stretch Trim

Basic Pearls

Glue Dots

Tombow Multi-Purpose glue  (I like to use the Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue when I am using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  The liquid glue helps the Whisper White stamped card stock  adhere completely to the embossed Bermuda Bay card stock.)

Regarding Dahlias is available in Wood Mount (Catalog #130324, $19.95) and Clear Mount (Catalog #130327, $14.95). 

 

 

Have a great day, and come back soon for another project using all new products!

Welcome Summer!

Hello, and Happy Summer to you!  I recently had a stamping class that featured ALL new products from the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog -- new colors, new stamps, and new accessories.  I thought it would be fun to share these cards with you over the next few days.

One of my favorite new products is the Magnetic Platform for the Big Shot.  It makes cutting with framelits and edgelits SO easy!  No more post-it notes to hold framelits and edgelits in place when you have this baby:

Magnetic Platform  Catalog #130658  $39.95

                      
Here is a card we made using the new Chalk Talk Stamp Set and the coordinating Chalk Talk Framelits:

Did you know you can purchase the Chalk Talk Stamp Set and Framelits as a Bundle and save 15%?  Yep....you sure can!  This is a great deal, and the stamp set is so versatile. 

Clear Mount Bundle  Catalog #132730  $37.25
Wood Mount Bundle  Catalog #132731  $43.25

I layered the Washi Tape on the Basic Black card stock, then layered the Chalk Talk images over the Washi Tape with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Here is a closer view:

RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour: Mosaic Madness

Hello!  Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Tour!  Mosaic Madness is the stamp set for this month, and here is the card I made for you today:

Here are the supplies I used for this card:

Stamps:
Mosaic Madness
Remembering Your Birthday

Paper:
Island Indigo
Strawberry Slush
Whisper White
Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper

Ink:
Island Indigo
Strawberry Slush
Daffodil Delight

Accessories:
Basic Pearls
Stampin' Dimensionals
Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder
Mosaic Punch

I am s-l-o-w-l-y teaching myself how to use new apps for the iPad and iPhone.  (Yes -- I am a baby boomer and it takes me longer to learn than my Gen X and Gen Y friends!)  I have been noticing how on-trend the Mosaic Madness stamp set and punch is in local retail stores.  Plus, our new In-Colors are right on trend in this photo from a cataog.  The white mirrors look just like our Mosaic Punch, and the black mirror is the exact shape of our Window Frame Framelits.  The bedding ensemble reminds me of our new color, Smokey Slate, and Daffodil Delight.  Yep -- I can't go anywhere without seeing this trend!

Thanks for stopping by!  Now, it is time to visit Missy Bollinger and see her beautiful work!
