Blended Seasons

Welcome to my blog. It was a dog show weekend. My dog and I attempt to compete in agility. We're getting better but need more practice . So today I rested and played with the Limited edition stamp and die set Blended Seasons.

I made a card base out of Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut the 8 1/2" X11" piece at 5 1/2 " on the long side. I then folded it in 1/2.(you get 2 card bases )
I cut a piece 4"x5 1/4" from Under the Mistletoe DSP and glued this piece to the front of the card base.

I used scrap cherry cobbler and very vanilla cardstock to die cut the 2 labels using the thinlets from the set.
I stamped and colored the images on the very vanilla cardstock using garden green and cherry cobbler. I then glued it onto the red label and glued onto the card.

Let me know how you like it . Remember this bundle is only available August 1-31.
Also another special starts August 1. BONUS DAYS. For every 50$ you spend you earn 5$ to spend on September(Holiday Catalog launches).

Free ink pads ! Kindness Changes Everything

Hello and welcome to my blog.
Have you thought of being a demonstrator but not wanting to be a sales person ? That was me. And with Stampin Up you don't have to be. I'm a hobby demonstrator . That means I enjoy paper crafting with friends and family. I have a class a month and participate in local craft fairs . I do sell some to others and purchase my own at a 20% discount. Yes you have quarterly minimums. If you don't make it no big deal. You have the next month to make it up or take a break and be a customer again.You don't return anything and can rejoin at another date . Think about it and I would be delighted if you want to join my team.

Contact me if your thinking about it.

The card above was made using the Garden Impressions DSP and Absract Impressions stampset. Remember this is also the last week for the DSP special.

July Specials and Corgi card

July is almost over . 8 days left to take advantage of the DSP special of buy 3 get 1 free( click on order here for ordering and more info).For todays Corgi card I used Natures Poem DSP (one of the selections ) and the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set .

 I made a card base using Mint Macaron cardstock. I cut it at 51/2" on the 11" side. This gives you 2 card bases. When folded in 1/2 your card base will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
I cut a piece of the DSP 4" x 5 1/4" and glued that on the front.
I stamped the wood image from the Rooted in Nature on a scrap piece of whisper white card stock( first I stamped off then stamped on the white card). I then fuzzy cut it out. I then stamped the sentiment on top. I used Early Espresso ink for both. I glued this to the card front.
I stamped , colored and cut out the Corgi from a set I own(stamps of life carries it). You can put an image of your choice or just have the wood image. Both look great.
Some definitions for those new to paper crafting.
Fuzzy cutting is cutting out with scissors .
DSP is designer series paper.
Stamping off is stamping on a scrap paper then stamp where you want.

Accented Blooms Dog Days of Summer

Finally got a chance to play with the stampset Accented Blooms and to try out the new water color pencils available for purchase August 1.

I made the cardbase using whisper white. I then stamped the image from Accented Blooms  in the left corner and colored with the new water color pencils.
I just had to use my corgi stamp and die(from stamps of life). I colored the corgi with Grape fruit grove. This shows how versatile the Accented Blooms stamp set is. This set works well with other stamps you have.

Garden Impressions DSP meets Bella and friends

The dog days of summer made me think of the beautiful Garden Impression DSP and the little dog Bella.

 I made a card base out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and cut a piece of DSP 4" x 5 1/4".

From the DSP I cut an oval and from a piece of Flirty Flamingo I cut a larger oval.

I glued the DSP to the cardstock and the Flirty Flamingo oval to cover the middle. I then glued the DSP oval on top to get a layered affect.

I cut out another oval from whisper white and stamped Bella using memento black ink. I colored the collar and heart using calypso coral Stampin Blend. I also used some wink of Stella for a little bling.
