Flourishing Phrases with Stampin' Blends When I am designing my card classes I often look through my stock of stamp sets and see if one jumps out at me. The Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set was introduced a few catalogs ago and it immediately caught my eye. I love the scroll, love the coordinating thinlits and I love coloring the floral scroll in a variety of colors. Do you like the Flourishing Phrases with Stampin' Blends? Selecting a color The Stampin' Blends worked so well with this stamp set, picking one color was too hard. For my class, I let

I have another card for you today featuring the Flourishing Phrases stamp set. This time, I did not use the bundle, but instead took one of the sentiments and used it on a die-cut from our Leaflet Framelits. I absolutely love the way this masculine sympathy card turned out. Isn't the new Burlap Ribbon awesome? It's a wow in person, too, as it has the very tiniest shimmer of silver strands holding the threads of burlap in place. I predict that I will be using this ribbon a LOT in the upcoming year. The inside panel features the coordinating sentiment

When a friend of mine suddenly lost her Mom, I knew I needed to make a special card. I immediately reached for a stamp set that doesn't define my style - Very Vintage. I layered beautiful colors from beautiful papers to create this comforting card: The floral image also works
I was just noticing in this picture that the colors almost look black. I used Night of Navy ink and paper and Whisper White paper. I am going to have to figure out why that did that. Hmmm Nobody likes to make sympathy cards, but when you do you want...

Hello there! Back with my last card from my Card Buffet. This is another CASE from SU!, using the Flourishing Phrases Bundle. I started with a Watermelon Wonder base and stamped the background with the same ink. On top of that I added a piece of retired stripe DSP. I cut out the flourish using the Flourish Thinlits from a Gold Foil Sheet and adhered with tiny drops of Liquid Tombow.. I then cut out the leaf using Pear Pizzazz Cardstock and attached with a Glue Dot. I stamped the sentiment with Watermelon Wonder ink onto Peekaboo Peach Cardstock and attached with Dimensionals. I finished it off with a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow wrapped around the stem. This is the last card of this month's Card Buffet choices. The all-occasion cards will still be available to make again next month, along with 6 new designs...maybe more:) We'll meet at First Christian Church on January 5th between 4-8pm. Let me know if you'd like to join us! Check back in the next day or two for lots of fun & festive projects. Thanks so much for stopping by:)
Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a good weekend! I mentioned last week that I was going to try to incorporate some of the colors that I rarely use into my crafting....I find that purples don't usually make it onto my table, so I chose Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant for my first attempt! I also wanted to try this fun fold I saw on my friend Wendy's blog....you can see her beautiful card here. The link to the tutorial by Dawn Olchefske is also there. So I pulled out some retired Wisteria Wonder DSP and went to work: Sympathy cards are sad but necessary, and I needed one this week, so I pulled out Flourishing Phrases, which not only has beautiful florals, but wonderful "in-and-out" sentiments as well. Above is the card folded together, and below is it open: I stamped the flower twice, once in Elegant Eggplant and again in Wisteria Wonder, and then trimmed them and adhered them together with dimensionals. I stamped the flourish image on the inside with WW, stamping it once on scrap paper and again on a white panel, then added the Elegant Eggplant sentiment on top. I added a few pearls but left the rest pretty simple! Hope you enjoy it! A little beach time this weekend!
One of my very favorite reasons to be a demonstrator is the amazing sample swapping that goes on whenever we gather together! Stampin' Up demonstrators are some of the most creative people in the world, and I benefit greatly from seeing their ideas. I love coming up with a cool card and making a bunch of them so I can trade with others. It's fun to think of the little card I stamped in my craftroom in Wisconsin traveling across the U.S. and sometimes even across oceans, to land in another demonstrator's sample basket. I'm sharing several favorites from my...

For today’s card, I dug out a stamp set that has been around for a few catalog seasons but still stands the test of time in my book, Flourishing Phrases. If you don’t have this set, I would urge you to take a look at it and consider all the possibilities. I’m trying to get into a Fall frame of mind even though the weather here in Southeastern PA is still very much summer-like. So… Continue reading

The new 2016-18 In Colors really pop on a black background so I created this set of note cards to show off a new bundle called Flourishing Phrases with the Flourish Thinlits. I used our note cards which come in Whisper White or Crumb Cake. You get 20 cards scored and ready for stamping and decorating along with 20 envelopes for just $6. It's such a great value and I like the size of the finished card which is 3 1/2' x 5'. The two cards pictured above feature Dapper Denim and Flirty Flamingo. These are the inside panels which
Hallo allemaal! Weer een avond postje. Vandaag heb ik heerlijk geknutseld en heb ik weer een poging gedaan om een filmpje van deze kaart te maken. Dat is enigszins gelukt maar helemaal tevreden ben ik natuurlijk niet. Ook kijken? Klik als je tijd (vooral tijd) en zin hebt. Sahara Sand Soft Suede Tip Top Taupe Ik heb gewerkt met bovenstaande kleuren in combinatie met koperpoeder. Oh wat vind ik het leuk om daar mee te werken zeg! De stempelsets die ik met elkaar gecombineerd heb zijn Recht uit het Hart en Timeless Textures. De stansen komen uit de stansen set Flourish Thinlit Dies en zijn verkrijgbaar als bundel tegen een aantrekkelijk korting van 10%. Het was weer super leuk om te knutselen met andere materialen dan de materialen uit de Herfst/Winter Catalogus. Vergeet je niet mee te doen met de prijsvraag? Heb je hem niet gezien klik . Het was toch niet te moeilijk he? Ik wens je een hele fijne avond en hoop je snel weer te zien bij een volgend blogberichtje.

This weekend I have spent time playing with new stamps, thinlits, punches and so much more. One of the new thinlits just release this month is the Flourish thinlit. It is so "dainty" and I love it. I made the card on the left based off of a card I saw on Mary Fish's site. I "embellished" it more (stepped it up) to give it some extra pizzazz. The card on the right was one of those cards that "just happened". the cut out in the back was what was left over from the dainty accent on the right. Layered onto black cardstock made this image come to life!. Also just released is a new Big Shot platform that is designed for intricate dies like this one. Check out this video that Stampin' Up! did on this new platform with the Florish thinlit die - if you are going to use these dies.... you are definitely going to want the new platform and the precision plate.

I love giving out little Stand Up Calendars at the end of the year. This one is perfectly sized to fit right into an envelope that can be mailed out for a little sunshine and happiness to brighten someone's day. I used the Flourishing Phrases Bundle along with the Greatest Greetings stamp set. I had to share a close up . . . this is just so pretty in Pool Party and Tip Top Taupe. My assistant Kim Lundstrom helped me out with the design of this stand up calendar card. It's truly the size of a standard stamped card
