Beautiful French Foliage

My friend Cindy just had a cute little baby about a month ago. Her mother was in town visiting the new baby and Cindy asked her what she wanted to do. She said make cards! So Cindy called me up and we set a date and had a fun evening stamping. Cindy had purchased the new beautiful set Fall Foliage. I had to play with it. It is seriously the most beautiful fall stamp set I have ever seen! The leaves look so real and are so pretty when stamped in beautiful fall colors. I love the french script background and the "spill spots" background stamps. I loved it so much, that she let me take it home to play with some more! Thanks Cindy!! I have lots of fun ideas rolling around in my head. Now I just need to time to stamp them out! Have a great day everyone! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Thank You

Hey there!

One of my favorite kind of cards to make are Thank You cards. I love sending them out to let people know that I am grateful for them. For that reason, I make lots of them. This is a card that I had floating around in my head for a while. I accidentally stumbled upon the color combo when I had a few scraps thrown together in a pile. Sometimes that is the best way to discover new color combos. :) The colors I used are Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze and Early Espresso. I knew that I wanted to use the Vintage Vogue stamp set with this color combo. Of course I *had* to use my new crocheted ribbon... LOVE IT!!! I really love how this card turned out. I am still so excited about the new color renovation. Stampin' Up! has so many great new colors to choose from! :) Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Quilted Happy Birthday

Hey there!

Wow! Summer sure has kept me busy!! I have really been missing my stamping time. Especially with the new catalog out, and all of the new colors, and ribbons, and stamp sets.... I really just want to sit for days and stamp!.. but I can't. I did manage to free up an hour today to make a card I had floating around in my head. I was inspired by a quilt that we have in our extra bed room. I thought the new Dotted Scallp Ribbon Border punch looked like lace, so I sponged the edges and crumbled it up to give it a vintage feel. I used three new colors on this one, two In Colors... Poppy Parade, and Peach Parfait, and I also used the new Daffodil Delight.. which I totally love!!! I thought it was missing some 'real' ribbon, so I threw in some Pear Pizzaz ribbon. I am in LOVE with the new In Color ribbon!!! ... so soft. I hope you enjoy checking out my latest card. The colors are a little bit wild for me, but it's all about color this year, so I figured, why not! Thanks for stopping by!
