Paper Pumpkin Alternative-August 2018 kit

Hey Stampers! 
I have an alternative Paper Pumpkin project to share with you today.

I was in desperate need of Sympathy cards so I turned to a Paper Pumpkin kit to help me out! 

I grabbed my August kit, Blissful Blooms kit.

I changed things up a little bit mixing and matching other Stampin' Up! materials that are current and no longer available to create some beautiful sympathy cards. Adding Wink of Stella to the flowers adds just the right touch of sparkle!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

Happy Birthday Waterfront~

Hello Stampers!

With Spring acting like... well....spring, it really makes me want to clean out the camper and get it ready for another great year of camping!  Thinking of camping by the lake inspired me to create this card. 

This lovely card was stamped with the Photopolymer stamp set Waterfront.

I am so happy to report that this lovely set is here to stay!  (Sneak Peak stamp set!)

The In-Color Dapper Denim is embossed with one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. 
Big Shot and Layering Ovals were used to cut out of the Glimmer paper and stamped image.

A snowless Christmas~

Hello Stampers!
Here is my project share for today.  This fun little card was created for a friend who lives near the beach and has never had a Christmas with snow!  Which for me is very hard to imagine being I am from Montana.

Beachy Little Christmas was the perfect stamp set to use for her.

The background was created with the Seaside Textured Impressions embossing folder.  How fun!  I love how Stampin' Up creates all sorts of products that can be used together to create a perfect card.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Quick and simple Christmas card Challenge

Hello Stampers!
Christmas card in a snap Challenge!  I was once again challenged to create a Christmas card with whatever I had on my craft table in 5 minutes or less.  I had several pieces already cut out from the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies so I grabbed some trees and a deer.

Then with the Carols of Christmas stamp set I heat embossed the sentiment on Whisper White Thick and cut it out with the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. 

Pretty simple layout for a quick card.  To add texture to the trees I embossed them in the Seaside textured impressions embossing folder.

A Bloomin' 4th of July!

Hello Stampers!

I want to wish you a wonderful 4th of July celebration today!  Here is my patriotic project share for today!

I used the fun-tastic Sunshine Wishes Thinlits to create this star spangled flower.
Along with Silver Foil Sheets, Red and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and Night of Navy card stock.

To adhere the flowers, I cut them out and used the new Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets #144106, Oh....My....Gosh, these are a LIFE SAVER!  Peel and stick...can you say simple to use?  Love these!

Also embossed the Thick Whisper White Card Stock with Stars and stamped I love America!  Sentiment from a retired Stampin' Up set.

Hidden in the trees~Father's Day card.

Hello Stampers!
I don't know about you, but it seems like my summer is speeding by like a NASCAR driver had control of it!  This weekend is Father's Day so I thought I had better get busy creating some Father's Day cards.  I always choose cars and animals for masculine cards, almost like it's an unwritten law for me to use anything else.  ha-ha

I used the stamped image with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, stamping directly on the folder before running it through the Big Shot.

Works fairly well.  Then I just color everything in with colored pencils, adding a little bit of a wet brush to the bottom of the grass.  For the trees I sponge some Crumb Cake with a sponge dauber.

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!
