Wishing You Well tulip wreath card

Today's project uses one of my absolute favorite background stamps.  It's the buffalo check 147794 and I stamped it on a piece of balmy blue cardstock cut at 5 1/4" by 4" with night of navy.  Piece is layered on a thick whisper white A2 card base.  The focal image is stamped on a piece of regular whisper white cardstock which has been cut at 3 3/4" x 5.  I stamped the wreath from the Wishing You Well 147864 stamp set which is a carryover from the 2018 holiday catalog.  The tulips are stamped in lovely lipstick and come from the Vibrant Vases 148656.  They are punched out with the coordinating Vase Builder punch 147040.  The bow on this wreath is also part of the Wishing You Well stamp set.  This set is one of Stampin' Up!'s new Distinkive sets that are photo realistic and absolutely amazing.  The sentiment comes from the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set called Part of My Story.  You can earn this with a $50 qualifying purchase through March 31, 2019.   

I absolutely love how this card turned out.  It looks so bright and springy!  If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I've used today, please click on the shopping basket link.  It will take you directly to my online store where you can shop 24/7.  I'd love to earn your business and be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator if you don't already have one.

Celebrate Vibrant Vases

While at Onstage in Orlando in November, we were challenged to create some #simplestaming cards.  Now for those who know me best, my friends know simple stamping just isn’t in my nature.  I try to make things simple, and by the time I’m through, simple has left the building.  This is a card I came up with using primarily stamps, ink and paper.  It also uses only one stamp set so it can be reproduced with minimal supplies.  This card features a new photopolymer stamp set in the occasions catalog bu Stampin’ Up!.  It’s called Vibrant Vases and is a sister stamp set to Varied Vases in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.  Both sets have a coordinating punch, the Vase builder punch.  Varied Vases can be purchased as a bundle with the coordinating punch for a savings of 10%, then feel free to add on today’s featured set Vibrant Vases.  Doing this will qualify you for a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure from January through March 31, 2019.

I started with a thick whisper white card base and added a layer of highland heather gingham paper from the Gingham Gala 6x6 Designer Series Paper stack.  I stamped my images on another layer of whisper white regular cardstock in black memonto ink.  These images have stamps to color in the details and I chose to use those rather than coloring them on my own.  Ink colors used are grapefruit grove, daffodil delight, Gorgeous grape, Highland heather and garden green.  For a finishing touch, I added some faceted gems in he grapefruit grove and a touch of wink of Stella.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today.  Should you want any of the supplies used or anything else Stampin’ Up!, please click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  It will take you directly to my online store.  I would be grateful for your business.  In addition, if you would like to join my team, it’s the very best time of year to do so.. you get $175 worth of product for $99 and there is no obligation to continue.  Join for the discount, or join to start a business,either way is fine with me.  No pressure, no judgments.

Marbled Varied Vases

I love this stamp set and punch which was inspired by Mary Fish for her million dollar sales achievement.  The stamp set is called Varied Vases (146644) and has a coordinating punch (147040).  It can be purchased in a bundle (148381) and save you 10%.  Here is a card I created using it along with the marbled background stamp (144772).  I used blushing bride for the marbled background.  The vase features Mary’s signature tulip.  Flowers are stamped in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Rich Razzleberry, and Mango Melody.  I cust a stitched oval diecut and mounted it on a scalloped oval from the Layering ovals framelits.  The ribbon behind the focal image is burlap ribbon.  I opted to leave the sentiment off and add it to the inside as I need a card.  This card design could be used for any occasion.

Simply the Best Seasonal Vase

Today’s card continues to feature the Vase Builder punch (147040) which coordinates with Mary Fish’s million dollar achiever Varied Vases stamp set (146644).  In addition, I’ve added the flowers from a new stamp set called In Every Season (146709) which features flowers for every month.  This set has several images which will work in the vases from the punch.  I punched the vase in Whisper White then stamped the pattern from Timeless Textures (140517) in Bermuda Bay and Touches of Texture (143251) in Daffodil Delight.  The flowers are colored with the Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral and the leaves in Old Olive.  I used the stitched oval die framelits (146828) to cut the oval.  The sentiment comes from the Varied Vases stamp set.  My Designer Series Paper is in Calypso Coral and is retired; However, you could use a background paper from the Subtles Designer Series Paper 6x6 paper stack (146966).
