HAVE YOU WASHI'D TODAY?

Washi Tape -- what a fun product to work with.  It's colorful, cuttable, tear-able, repositionable, portable, inexpensive. And Washi Tapes from Stampin' Up! come in their exclusive colors and coordinate beautifully with other products of the same color line. What's not to love!

Sparkling effects are easy to achieve with our no-mess Dazzling Details glitter-glue.

Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray.  A yummy color combo even the guys will gobble up.

Images from the "Best of Birthdays" set were stamped, then colored in using Stampin' Write markers.

What will you Washi?

Happy stampin'

A CHERRY on TOP

Birthday cards, we all need them. 
Hint:  Stamp the dome image on a Window Sheet using Stazon Jet Black ink; cut out and mount using tiny strips of Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here's another card using the same set:

Give the middle cupcake some oomp with a dimensional and a sparkly cherry accent (Real Red Glitter Paper).  Quick and easy. Great for guys or gals!

In case you're wondering, when I make cupcakes, the frosting usually hangs off the side --just the way I stamped it.  Too funny!

Happy Monday!

PS "A Cherry on Top" stamp set is a hostess set and will only be available until the end of the month.

BUILD A BLOSSOM X3

As we come to the end of the Stampin' Up! catalog year, we face saying good-bye to many products we have come to love.  For the next month, quite a few of them will be featured in the cards that I make. Look for the * next to those products that will soon no longer be available.

Each of today's card make use of both the Blossom Builder punch and the Build a Blossom stamp set.   Don't you love it when you can use your supplies and tools in more than one way!

Of course, you can make flowers:

 To make this card, you will also need:  *Made for You (sentiment);  *Baja Breeze, *More Mustard (I know, I know in my picture it looks like Pumpkin Pie but it's not), Chocolate Chip and Whisper White card stock, along with *Baja Breeze, *More Mustard,and Wild Wasabi classic stampin' pads; *Fan Fair designer series paper; 2-3/8" Scallop, 1-3/8 " and 3/4" Circle punches,  and Large Oval punch; *Baja Breeze seam binding; Rhinestone jewels; Snail adhesive and Stampin' dimensionals.

Or you could make, fish:

The green here is *Lucky Limeade, used for a mat as well as the plants (*Just Believe stamp set); Baja Breeze was sponged on to create the water.  The sentiment is from *Curly Cute set and is heat embossed.

Gills are hand drawn using a Pumpkin Pie stampin' write marker.

Or how about birthday candles:

Again I used *Curly Cute for the sentiment, this time on a Real Red card stock base.  All the designer series paper came from the *Summer Smooches pack.  A little bling was added:  *Metallics 3/16" brads and  Dazzling Details on the flames.

You can get these and other great products at my website.  But don't wait too long; while retired stamp sets are expected to be available through May 31, retired inks and papers are available only while supplies last.

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'!
