Ribbon Card

My card today was inspired by a card I received from Dawn Griffith, my upline, at Convention. She was also a presenter and showed us how to make this card in Salt Lake City.  You can see one of her cards (as well as a video) using this technique, here. If you have scraps of ribbon sitting around, you will want to give this a try or even if you don't.  I didn't have a stash of scraps so I just grabbed some ribbon that appealed to me.

Speaking of videos, I've been working on making a video. Well, not A video but I've been teaching myself the ins and out of making one.  Just trying to figure out how to set up the camera on the tripod and then editing it certainly takes time.  So, one of these days I will present my first of many videos, I hope.

Welcome Flower

It's funny how a card can come to be.   Yesterday I sat down at my craft table and I wasn't really sure what I was going to make.  I looked around the table and saw a few bits and pieces from my crafting last week.  Last week I showed you a purse card with a Melon Mambo embossed flower.  I had also tried making one on Daffodil Delight cardstock but I didn't really like it for the purse card.  I had also tried embossing a piece from the set A Fitting Occasion.  I used white embossing powder on Gumball Green (my new favorite color) but I put it aside because it just didn't really go with my card.  So I started playing around with these two pieces and Voila!, my card was created. I also used the CUTE new scallop circle punch (#127811).

The Idea Book & Catalog is a great place to go for inspiration.  My original inspiration for the embossed green Modern Label piece came from a picture on page 100 of the catalog.  From there my creativity went forward!  Give it a try, look through the catalog and see where it leads you!

March Thank You Cards

This is my March thank you card for anyone who places an order with me.  It is a 3x3 card using the Blossom punch in the Occasions Mini.  I punched the flower out in Daffodil Delight and then ran it through my Big Shot.  The base of the card is Rich Razzleberry as well as the Scallop Oval.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets, Short and Sweet!

Thank you for stopping by!!

Another Blossom Punch Card

Here's another card I made using the new Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set found in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. I really love this stamp set and punch.  There are so many different ways to use it! If you saw my lollipop holders a few weeks ago, you'll notice that I made my card using one of those designs.  My colors are Concord Crush and Rose Red.  Love the combination!

Blossom Punch

I hope you are having a nice long weekend!  I love it when I have a three day weekend, especially after the long week I had teaching my second graders this week!  This was our first week back from our Winter vacation and it is always hard to get back into a regular schedule.  I imagine the kids were pretty tired too!

Today my card uses the new Blossom punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set.  I really do love this stamp set.   I used both of these new products on my Lollipop holders that I showed yesterday.  I have also used our new 3/8 inch Pleated Satin Ribbon.  It is a beautiful ribbon and comes in four colors.  My card uses Blushing Bride but it also comes in Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze.   The colors that I've used are not ones that I normally would use (Blushing Bride and Perfect Plum) but I was happy with the results.  I used a little bit of Pear Pizzazz for the center of my flowers and popped them up with a dimensional.

As always, I appreciate that you have stopped by!  Take Care!
