Welcome Back to me!

Yep, I've been busy up here in Minnesota with my son's high school graduation party, family visiting and working!  At least I was able to see all the creations being made by fellow stampers with the new goodies from the 2013-2014 Stampin' UP! catalog...which helped me get thru it. : )  Today, I cleaned off my stamping table which consisted of scrapbook papers and pictures of my son, Josh...and put it all away.  What a nice feeling to see my stamping table again!
I had a nicely cut piece of  Tea For Two DSP sitting on my desk which was left over from a Make and Take card made back in April ....yep, pretty messy desk...and decided that I would incorporate it into my card creation.  But what to make? I decided on a birthday card for my mother-in-law, Lillian who's birthday is at the end of the month....perfect!  So here's what I made for her 87th birthday:
 I believe it is similar to the Make and  Take card that I will share on another post in the future.  Of course I used my new goodies, too.
 I had a 3/4 peice of a Paper Doilie sitting with the DSP, so I cut it up and pieced it around the circle.  It worked out pretty darn good.  No waste on my end! 
Plus, I had to try out the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder and matching stamp set...very fun.  I think it turned out very vintage which is perfect for an 87 year old, don't you think???

RECIPE:
STAMPS: Label Love and Mosaic Madness
PAPER: Tea For Two DSP (retired), Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron, Baja Breeze (retired) and Whisper White
INK: Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron, and Baja Breeze
ACCESSORIES:Delicate Doilies Sizzlits, Finishing Touches Edgelits, 1 3/4" circle punch, Artisan Label punch, Paper Doily, Basic Pearls, sponge dauber and stampa-ma-jig.

Well, I know I'm addicted to stamping because I feel much better. Happy Stamping!

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!

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 ...
