Reason to Smile




Hello, stampers!
Today, I wanted to share a card I made using the "Reason to Smile" stamp set for the July Stampin' UP! special. If you place a $50 order during the month of July, you can purchase this beautiful 2 step stamp set for just $5!!!!  Woo-who! : )  To inspire you, I have made several examples that I will be sharing over the next several weeks.
Plus, here's my special: Want to have your own samples using this set??? I will send you 3 beautiful cards using this set if you place a qualifying order with me by July 31, 2012.

Purchasing number: 131274 for wood mount set;
                               131275 for clear mount set.

Here's my first card that can be yours with a qualifying purchase:


I used the new Floral District DS paper which then gave my all my colors to use. I embosed the Labels Collection frame with the Snow Burst folder (retired) because I thought it matched the DS paper so well.
I used the new Finishing Touches Edgelits Die in Daffodil Delight to make a pretty border on the bottom.

I stamped the larger flower (2-step stamping) in Baja Breeze and Daffodil Delight.  No stampa-ma-jig needed!!!
  I hand cut out the small Rich Razzleberry flowers and popped them out with dimensionals.  And then to top it off, I added some paper piercing and 2 glimmer brads from the Subtles collection (retired).  It's such a soft and elegant card that I wasn't sure if it needed ribbon, but settled on a bow and adhered it with a glue dot.
What do you think?  Wouldn't you love for me to send you this card?  : )
Just click on my "Shop Stampin' UP!" button at the top to get yours today!  Annette

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

 Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer.  The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea  cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
