Work of Art Birthday Card

This card was created using quite a few different stamp sets. I made this one for my grandson who turned 5 years old. I have seen many cards made using the Work of Art stamp set and was ready to try it out for myself. This stamp set and Gorgeous Grunge are really fun sets to have and play with. If you don't have them already you can purchase them from me by going to my Stampin' Up! website found here.

These are the supplies needed to create this card.
Stamp Sets: Work of Art, Gorgeous Grunge, Another Great Year, and Itty Bitty Banners
Cardstock: Real Red, Night of Navy, and Whisper White
Classic Ink: Night of Navy, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Daffodil Delight
Tools: Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits, Circle Framelits, Sunburst Framelits, Stampin' Distress Tool

The one mistake I did make when creating this card was I used the Blendabilities with the Night of Navy Classic Ink, instead of using the Tuxedo Black Momento Ink. I was just very careful not to touch the outline of the image with the Blendabilities. I am happy to say it did not bleed.
Thank you for looking. You can always leave a comment if you would like. Have a wonderful day!

Spiral Flower Fry Box Favor

I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted to purchase the Hamburger Box or the Fry Box. You can tell which one won out. Not only did I want to try out the Fry Box Bigz Die, but I also wanted to try out the Spiral Flower Originals Die, too. I thought it would make a very nice little favor to give away to someone special. The person that is going to get this is one of my customers.

Cardstock: Basic Black and Typeset Specialty DSP
Tools: Big Shot, Fry Box Bigz L Die, Spiral Flower Originals Die, and Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die
Accessories:Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and Cellophane Bag (retired), treat of your choice

These would be great to use as a wedding favor! Tell me what you think. Please, leave a comment.

Corner Garden Blendabilities

Here is another card share using the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities. I am still trying to get to the point where I am really happy with how they blend. I have seen some other cards done by other people and really love how theirs look over mine. I am not giving up though. I am sure it just takes quite a bit of practice.
Please, give me some tips if you want. I have watched a few videos and am doing what they show. It may be color choice more than anything.

Coastal Cabana Blended Bloom

I don't know about you, but I have been having a lot of fun playing with the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities. If you enjoy coloring and it is relaxing to you, this is just the thing for you. My husband tells me he would not be able to stay in the lines. I find that kind of funny. The good thing is you can use the color lifter if you do go outside of the lines or just trim out your image.
There was something I wanted to try when I finished this blended bloom flower. If you don't already notice. Do you see that it is shiny? I used crystal effects on it when I was all done coloring it in the way I wanted it. It would make a beautiful pin, as well as, a card.

Supplies needed for this card.
Stamp Sets: Blended Bloom and Thoughts and Prayers
Ink: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Memento Tuxedo Black
Blendabilities: Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight
Cardstock: Whisper White and Island Indigo
Tools: Big Shot, Hegaon Hives Thinlits Die, Sizzlits Little Leaves (retired), Banners Framelits Dies, Stampin' Sponge, and Crystal Effects
Accessories: 1/8" Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon

Sometimes, when I get all done with my post I will remember another item I used on my project. I think I got them all this time. Please, leave a comment if you have any questions or something nice to say. Thank you for visiting!

Father's Day Card

Maybe, I need to try to get ahead of the game. I am sorry that I post things after it is already over. The main reason I do is because I do not want the person receiving the card to see it on here before they get it. It kind of takes the surprise out of giving it.
This card was made for my husband. He really likes anchors and the nautical theme. The stamp set, The Open Sea, is one of my favorite stamp sets. It just makes very beautiful cards. There are many stamp sets that I love because of their versatility. These are the type of sets to have and keep for a long time.

Stampin' Up! products used to create this card:
Stamp Sets: The Open Sea, Woodgrain, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Classic Ink: Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Cherry Cobbler
Tools: Stampin' sponge, Big Shot, Circle Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, 1 3/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches
