Jar of Flowers~Bright Blooms

Hello Stampers!

So glad you can join me today.  I used the Jar of Flowers Photopolymer stamp set to create today's project share.

I used the Blender Pens to add color with ink refills of In Colors-Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Bumble Bee, Just Jake and Poppy Parade.  

Ink used to stamp, In Color Seaside Spray, Just Jade and Memento Black.

                           

The pretty Magenta Madness Ribbon adds a little sparkle to the jar, speaking of sparkle, I used Wink of Stella on all the flowers.  

  

Remember, Keep Calm and Stamp on!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

If you have any questions or would like more information about how to join my team call me today.  I would love to have you on my team!

Baby Lamb card~ by Cheryl *Star Dust Stamper*

Hello my stamping friends!

Here is my project share for today.  I love the sweet little lamb from the Easter Lamb (single stamp) in the Occasions catalog.

I used Soft Sky and Pink Pirouette from the Subtles collection.

I used Whisper white card stock for the card base and to add accent.

To add color I used the Blender Pens with Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride, and Soft Sky ink.

Dang-lie Spider card~Halloween Count Down

Hello Stampers!
So glad you could swing by my blog today!  It's Wednesday, half way through the week and that means the special 15% discount that SU is offering will be over soon, so don't wait!  You can place an order online or give me call today and I will get your order placed for you and have it shipped right to your door.

This will be my final week for my Halloween Series Count Down, I have tried to get a few videos made up for this and other projects but with several events taking place with my family I just did not have time.  I will get one done though, maybe this weekend.  Thank you for being so patient!

I just love the bundles that SU has to offer in the Holiday Catalog.  I have not posted any projects from this one yet, so I thought I had better get one done.  Here is the Stamp Set Howl-o-ween Treat and matching Framelits, Boo to You.  LOVE THIS SET!!

I can use the Framelits for other projects rather than Halloween.

For the inside of this card I had a little fun.  I stamped the spiders in Basic Black and used the Framelits to cut six of them out.   I attached the spiders to Silver Thread then attached them to a 11 x 1" piece of Basic Black card stock scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", and 8 1/4".   Make sure the 'peak' of the mountain is facing outward when you attach it to the card.
It's such a fun project!

Thank you for checking out my project!

Hello Fall~

Hi my crafty friends!
Hooray for September!  Not only do I share my birthday this month with my brother and several cousins but it's the beginning of FALL!!  It's my favorite time of year.  With that in mind I wanted to create a fall layered card.  Here's what I came up with.

I used the SU stamp set For All Things and using Very Vanilla Card Stock cut three pieces of paper the first measuring 5 1/4" x 4" then cut each one, 1" smaller. 
Simply place them on top of each other and stamp your design.

 Next I layered them on Cajun Craze 1/4" larger with the base of the card being 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
If I was not going to mail this card I would have used Stampin' Dimensionals to stick each layer together to add more dimension, but I found if you mail them you have to pay extra postage for hand canceling.  Or at least at our Post Office I had to!

Before I put the layer on the base card I wrapped it twice with Linin Thread.   For a finishing touch I added a little Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to each leaf to give a little glisten and sparkle!
That's it!  How fun and easy was that?  They look so pretty and look difficult, but they really are not. 

Thanks for looking!
I would love to hear from you, so leave a message below or you can leave a comment on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/starduststamper
Have a STAMPENDEOUS day!

Bravo~ my daughter!

Hi stampers!
BRAVO!!  Here is a card I made for my oldest daughter as she heads into the 8th grade!  I wanted to make her a special card.  She read 10 books this summer!  Not just little books, books with over 400 pages in them!  I know she will finish at least one more before school starts in a few days, she's amazing!  She also has beat all of us by reading through Genesis, Exodus, and half way through Leviticus in the Bible! I could gush about her all day long but this blog is for my paper projects, not my children! ha-ha 

Here's a list of the items I used to create this card.
Everything used on this card is from Stampin' Up!
Card Stock: Whisper White, Basic Black, In-color Lost Lagoon
Paper punches:Petite Petals, & Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack
Stamp Set: Bravo, and Work of Art
Accessories: Basic Pearls, Lost Lagoon ribbon , sponge daubers, glue dots
Ink: Lost Lagoon and Black Stazon

I simply stamped the image once and with out re-inking just stamped it two more times.  Then added the sentiment in black Stazon.  With a sponge dauber I added Lost Lagoon to the edges of the punched out flowers after I adhered them to the card stock I finished them off with a basic Pearl in the center.    I think this card turned out so pretty. 

Thanks for stopping by!
Make today great~

Do what makes you happy!

Hi Stampers!
Here is my project for today! 
The Stamp Sets I used  was Hello Life Photopolymer set, and Petal Potpourri bundle, they are both available in the Occasions Catalog only until June 2nd!

I was going through my colored card stock and found out I had not used my Smokey Slate for a long time so I though I would make a few cards up. 

I used Blushing Bride card stock with this card along with Stacked with Love Designer Washi Tape.

On this card I used the heart swish stamp, (as I call it) on the bottom with Wisteria Wonder card Stock. Both cards have pearls for the center of the flower and Dazzling Details Diamonds Glitter to add a little fun sparkle!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sorry your s(ick)!

Hello my crafty friends!
Thank you for joining me today. 
Ah, 'tis the season to enjoy the warmth of the sun, the trees budding, green grass poking it's way through the dead grass and horrible allergies!  My kids and I seem to be taking turns with coughing and sneezing.  Never fails we never get on our allergy meds before someone's allergy symptoms turn into a miserable spring cold!  
That is where I got my inspiration for this card!  LOL

Super simple 10 minute card. 
I love the Confetti Heart Boarder Punch (available in the Occasions Catalog).  It's so much fun, because after I made the card, I saved the confetti to put inside the card for little surprise when my friend opens her card.  :)   The stamp set from SU I used was Fabulous Four.

Petal Potpourri Birthday card~

Hi Stampers!
I love how this card turned out!  I seen this cute double stamped idea with the Petal Potpourri stamp set (available in the Occasions catalog) and I just had to recreate it!  The colors I used are Strawberry Slush, and Coastal Cabana along with Whisper White.  Simple but fun card!  The Happy Birthday sentiment, Stamp Set is no longer available. 

How you make this fun 20 minute (or less)card:
-Using Basic Black stamp the outlined Petal Potpourri flower and then stamp the 'colored' Petal Potpourri stamp in the color of your choice, it's that easy!  I was going to put the Crushed Curry buttons in the center but I had ran out of that color.  LOL

Hope you enjoyed the project today. I love 20 minute cards, so I can spend more time with my children.  :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tea Cup~ Mother's Day card

Hello Stampers!
Hope today is beautiful in your neck of the woods!  It sure is here!  :)  I love being able to go for walks and bike rides with my kids.  All too fast these days will pass.  I LOVE the fact that it's camping season, also!!  YES, even though the weather is not a balmy 80 degrees, I love going camping.  I remember going camping in the snow over Easter with my family.  It's so great to leave technology behind and just have fun with nature! 

Ok, enough of the chit chat, ha-ha  you are here to see what I have to share with you today.  I thought I would get another Mother's day card done.  Awhile ago I had made a card that I really liked the design of.  You can check that out HERE!  So I simply used the same lay out but changed the colors of it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly-Friendship card~

Hi Stampers!
Here is an easy 20 minute card!  Ok, not even 20 minutes because in 20 minutes I had 6 of them done.  :)  It's so simple! 

What I used are four of the 5 In Colors that will be on the retiring list coming out at the end of this month!  Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Costal Cabana.  Stamped a butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set on Whisper White card stock, cut around them using my Paper Snips and then stamped a sentiment from the stamp set, Blessed By God.  I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the wings with the 2 Way Glue and that was it!  How fun was that?

You CRACK me up! Easter card~

Hello stampers! 
I just have so much fun with the cute little Easter set Stampin' Up! has to offer this year, For Peep's Sake!
I made up some of these fun little cards to give out to the kids at my church. 
It's a 12 x 4 piece of paper scored at 4 and 8 inches. 

Then on the end flaps you score them in half, fold each side in and adhere to the card so you have a triangle opening.  I used Sweet Taffy DSP to cover both, but opposite triangle openings. 

Just a fun simple little card! 
Hope you have a great day, thanks for stopping by!
