PERFECTLY PRESERVED

Hi Stampers!
Hope your weekend was a lovely one.  We were visited with rain both Friday and Saturday, which was a welcome relief in the midst of the drought, but yesterday the sun and the heat returned and the AC went back on.  Someday, autumn will come.

In the meantime, I can dream of canning and make cards like this one my club did recently featuring our Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

The jar, cap, pear and leaf were all die cut using our new Cannery framelits and the Big Shot.

The paper strips are from our Orchard Harvest designer series paper pack.  Stampin' Up!'s coordinated inks, papers, stamps and dies makes designing cards and crafts fun and easy.  Here I used More Mustard, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso, and Whisper White.

A little bow of  white Baker's Twine and your card is good to go.  Love it!


Be sure to visit my website for more great crafting ideas.

Until the next time,  happy stamping!
Trish

more MOVING FORWARD

In my last post, I mentioned how crazy I am about this great little set, Moving Forward.  In all, I have created 10 different cards, which is like a record for me! If your email does not automatically display the pictures, be sure to click on the blue title at the top of the post.  Wouldn't  want you to miss out on any of the good stuff!

Notice the similarity in the layouts? Little changes make for totally different looks.

Bright colors (Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise card stock and markers, and Summer Smooches designer series paper) make this card a delight for young and old alike.  Look carefully. Did you spot the Mini Silver brad that gives the card just a little touch of shine and texture?

Who wouldn't feel better after receiving this cute card?  Just basic card stock ( Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Whisper White) and Stampin' Write markers (Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green) convey your get well wishes.
Add great texture and interest to the band using the Adorning Accents Folder and the Big Shot, along with the Scallop Edge Border punch.  A Mini Silver brad at the top of the mast and that sweet little Primrose Petals heart (Owl Builder punch) and your card is done.

I am just crazy about stamp sets with built-in versatility!
Maybe one of these two cards will show up in my next $10 class.  There is still time to sign up for the Aug 31 session.  Email me for details

Thanks for checking in and until the next time....... Keep on stampin'!

CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS

 Today I wanted to share with you some glimpses of Stampin' Up! convention 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah (my very first, and hopefully not the last - I am already starting to save up for next year!)  I was so busy experiencing everything, I didn't always think to take pictures.  Hope these below convey at least a little of the amazing time I had.  Until the next time, happy stamping!
