Double Color Medallion

Here's another card I made with the medallion stamp. This time I stamped it with Almost Amethyst and then used a dauber and applied Night of Navy. It was the first time I had tried this technique and next time I think I will add more of the darker color for a bolder image. I used a filigree brad in the center. I love these brads!

Medallion

I made this card using the Medallion stamp. I've had it for a few months and this was the first time I used it. Wow, it sure is a bold stamp! I used Night of Navy and Almost Amethyst cardstock. I stamped the image directly onto Whisper White cardstock two different times so that I could cut out the center section. Then I attached it using Stampin' Dimensionals. I put a pearl from the Pretties kit using a glue dot. This card was part of a set that I gave to someone for her birthday today! Thanks for visiting!

Lots of Hearts

I made this card using many products from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the new punch called Pinking Hearts Border, Sending Love Specialty paper for the middle heart, Stampin' Up! Embosslit Scalloped Heart of Hearts and Well Scripted for the sentiment. For the stamp I used the clear mount set instead of wood. I like the wood blocks but am really enjoying using the clear mount blocks. I got the inspiration for this card from Dawn Dickinson and you can see her card here. Thanks for visiting!

Cute Flower

I made this flower a few days ago and haven't decided what to put it on yet. Still thinking about it. It was easy to make using SU! Designer Series Paper, the scallop punch and one of the new corduroy buttons! When I post my creation with this cute flower, I will provide the link to the directions and who I got the idea from.

Big Shot Petal Card Die

Here are some cute favors I made using the Big Shot Petal Card die. They were so easy and quick to make. I used a variety of Designer Series paper. The white one with glitter and flowers (brown background with pink and white flowers on the flap) is from the Occasions Mini catalog. It is called Sending Love Speciality and all of the paper in the pack is beautiful! It is so much prettier in person. I tucked some Ghirardelli chocolate inside. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

Here is a card I made for my daughter's birthday yesterday. She loves birds so I covered this chipboard bird. It was my first try and so much easier than I had anticipated. She loved it so that made my day! Thanks for visiting!

Vintage Vogue

Here is a card using two of our new stamp sets in the Occasions Mini which you can order from on Tuesday! I used Vintage Vogue and Well Scripted!

Thank You Gift Set

I made this gift set for someone at Christmas. I used Bella Bleu designer paper (page 162 in the catalog) for the first time as well as my Big Shot (I love that machine). It is hard to tell but the butterflies and flower have blue rhinestone brads in the center. If you click on each card you will be able to see a close up. The first picture is the box I made to put the cards and envelopes into. I used the same paper on the inside of my pen. Thank you for visiting!!

More Fancy Favor Boxes

I know that Christmas has come and gone but just wanted to share these little bags I made to put Xmas candy in. I made them very quickly and if I had more time I would have "decorated" the fronts. The red one uses flocked paper which you can still purchase but only until January 4th. It could even be used on a Valentines Day card. The paper can be found on page 21 in the Holiday Mini catalog. If you would like to purchase it, email me or visit my Stampin' Up website.

The new Occasions Mini catalog goes live on January 5th. There are so many new items!! It is very exciting!! Thanks for visiting!

Fancy Favor Treat Bag

I made this little bag yesterday using the Stampin' Up! Bigz XL Fancy Favor die. I've had it for a few months but this was the first time I used it. It is made with Merry Moments Designer paper. I made the handle out of cardstock and attached it using my Crop-A-Dile, which by the way, is a very fun little gadget! The bag is stuffed with York Peppermint patties. YUM!

Dasher

Here is a card that was pretty quick and easy using the Dasher stamp which is on the very last page of the Idea Book and Catalog. I also used Christmas Cocoa Designer Series paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you like this paper, you can only order it until January 4th! I'm not sure if you can see the Dazzling Diamonds on Dasher's antlers but if you click on the image, you will be able to see it close up! Thanks for stopping by!
