Happy Friday Peeps!!! Toady I am sharing a card made using the sketch challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. I love this color combo altho it is not one I play with alot. I used Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder along with whisper white and the DSP is from the Sweet Shop paper pack. I just got the Lattice Die this week, so I had to try it out, not sure why I waited so long to get it. I love the look of it. On my card here it looks almost like a trellis that my flowers are growing on. I used the Flower Fusion die to make my flowers. I laid each layer onto the foam piece from my matt pack and used my stylus to make small circles on each petal , applying a bit of pressure the petals curl up a bit. I layered each pieced alternating each petal and then added a large pearl to the center. The sentiment on here is from the Petite Pairs stamp set and is stamped with black stazon onto the white circle. I used my 1-3/8 inch circle and 1-1/2 inch circle punches to make the sentiment piece. Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!! Vicki
Today I thought I'd share one of the cards we made at my event last Sunday. I wanted everyone to have cards for their parents for Mother's and Father's Day, so we made those along with a teacher appreciation card. This is the card for the moms. I also had a birthday option because several of my ladies have lost their moms already. :( We used the retiring Apothecary Art set and colored it with stamp pads and blender pens. They really enjoyed that. I'll be sending my sample off to my mom who is for sure the best mother ever. :) Laila got to plant her own little pot of flowers yesterday. We had some flower seeds and got her some dirt and a pot. I hope they will grow! She likes to dig in it and keeps wanting to water them, so we'll see. lol
Today I’m sharing a card that I created using Blushing Bride card stock and Pewter Stampin’ Emboss Powder from Stampin’ Up!

February's Class to Go features the beautiful Apothecary Art stamp set. If you're stamping style includes either vintage or floral you'll love it. I find this set to be one of those stamp sets that creates quick and easy cards without much thought or planning. Because it already has a pretty, curved label look it is simply beautiful on it's own without adding much more to it. Here are 3 of the 5 cards you'll receive in your cards kit...

Every day this 'n that by Diana Gibbs, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Happy Thursday everyone! It's another week at Create with Connie & Mary. Each week I tell myself that I will try to post to my blog some day other than Sundays and Thursdays but....I'm just not finding the time. At least I'm keeping up with the design teams, right?! This week, Connie & Mary have a fun sketch for us: I started playing around with the different elements of the sketch and ended up with something totally different than what I had in mind....let's just say that the sketch was an "inspiration"... It's actually a gate-fold card with the "gate" off-center a little bit. What do you think? An abstract take on the sketch but the elements of it are still there. My base is a 4.25" x 11" piece of Soft Suede, scored at 3.5" and 9". Once folded, it forms a regular A2 sized card. Onto the gate doors, I layered some Calypso Coral paper from the Everyday Enchantment DSP and some Lucky Limeade patterned paper. The focal image is the largest label from Apothecary Art which I colored with Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade ink and a Blender Pen. I thought the background paper needed a little something, so I stamped the edge of the single stamp, Elizabeth in Soft Suede to frame the center image. I also used Elizabeth on the inside in Soft Suede. I intended to color in just a few parts of the stamp but once I started, I couldn't stop! I like the way it brings in the Lucky Limeade. I would love to know what you think of today's card. A bit different in style from my usual but once the inspiration started, I had to run with it! I hope you'll be inspired to play along with me and the rest of the amazing design team at Create with Connie & Mary this week. Be sure to link up before Wednesday, March 28th at Noon (EST). Thanks for stopping by today! Supplies Stamps: Apothecary Art; Elizabeth; Loving Thoughts Ink: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Calypso Coral CS; Everyday Enchantment DSP; In Color Designer Patterns Xtras: Labels Framelits; Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon; Basic Pearls; Scallop Ribbon Border Punch; 1 1/4" Square Punch; Blender Pens

I had this colored image lying around for a few weeks and thought I'd better put it to use before it got all mangled on my desk. I copied the technique shown by Amy Celona who does gorgeous work. This was my first attempt so I stuck to her colors, etc so I could compare at the end. It's not as good as Amy's but I'm happy with it and will use this technique again. I decided to use the Freshly Made Sketch challenge and the SUO Challenge to use something from the soon-to-end Occasions Mini. On to the card. I decided to keep a monochromatic look and in keeping with the look, went with a sympathy sentiment. Here's the sketch I worked with: Products used (all Stampin' Up!) Stamps: Apothecary Art; Warmest Regards (retired) Cardstock: Not Quite Navy; Whisper White; Regals DSP Ink: Black Stazon; Basic Black Accessories: Watercolor Wonder Crayons; Blender Pen; White Taffeta ribbon (dyed with Not Quite Navy ink); Pearls Cheers Karren
I think this is the last card I have to share using this set. I had absolutely no idea I would like this beautiful stamp set as much as I have but I have used it a lot! The images are pretty and easy to color too. I hope it's in the new catalog!! We made this card at a workshop a few weeks ago. This card was totally inspired by my stamping idol Deb Currier. I am so drawn...
