Get out your "blues" for this card....

It's been raining for 2 days over here, so its a perfect time to clean and stamp. :)  I was working outside early in the week trying to get a lot of the yard work done, so I am welcoming the rain now.

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Colour Me Card Challenge.  Here's the challenge:
The colors are: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise.  And here's the card I made. UPDATED PICTURES:

I used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and stamped one flower with Pacific Point ink onto a Tempting Turquoise cardstock and another flower with Bermuda Bay ink onto Coastal Cabana cardstock.


My sister-in-laws birthday was on Earth Day, and I missed it.  As a result, I used my Remembering Your Birthday stamp set to make this into a belated birthday card. :)  Sadly, Stampin' UP! is retiring all the Core'dinations cardstock. Here, I used a piece of Coastal Cabana Core'dinations cardstock and ran it thru my Honeycomb embossing folder and then sanded it down a bit. I also stamped White craft ink onto a piece of Vellum cardstock using an image from the Mosaic Madness stamp set to create my own background paper. I used my Word Bubble Dies ......so much fun!


To finish off the card, I added different sized flags in all the challenge colors and wrapped them up with a piece of Coastal Cabana DSP and White Bakers Twine.  A fun card to make!  

Thanks for stopping by and 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 ...
