hot air balloons

By

What is it about hot air balloons? The are so interesting and, well, up-lifting. I know, I know…too obvious. I couldn’t help myself.

I really like the vintage look of the one in the new Soar confidently set.

I had fun designing this card. I started by stamping the balloon on Crumb Cake card stock with white ink. Once it was dry, I added some black speckles with my Stampin’ Write marker. Next I added some Just Jade watercolor splatters. I let it completely dry before cutting the edge and adding strips of adhesive which I covered with Gold Gilding Leaf.

The sentiment is embossed in white and cut out with a stitched circle die, with ribbon added for a medallion look.

soar confidently

I thought I’d pop on to quickly share a card I made for a recent card swap. It uses a new set in the new Stampin’ Up! mini catalog – Soar Confidently. It features a hot air balloon, zeppelin, and a bi-wing airplane. One of my son-in-laws is a pilot, so I had to add this set to my collection.

My color pallet is Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight, and Seaside Spray. On the Seaside Spray panel, I repeatedly stamped the zeppelin in Seaside Spray ink. Then I used the dot stencil and texture paste. The globe die cut is from the World Map die set. The Misty Moonlight panel is embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. I roughed up the edges of the panels for extra texture and sponged around the Crumb Cake card base and globe die cut for an antiqued effect.

coffee, coffee, coffee

By

Are you a coffee lover? It took me awhile, but I can now say I am… kind of. Mochas. I like mochas. It has to have chocolate involved. I love the smell of coffee, but can not drink it black. But, I do love a good coffee themed stamp set. So, when I saw the Press On set in the new Stampin’ Up! mini catalog, I knew I had to have it. This set was designed by Million Sales Achiever Joyce Feraco. Thanks, Joyce!

For the background of my card, I went for various types of coffee lovers: those who take it black (Early Espresso), my beloved mocha(Soft Suede), and those who like a little coffee with their cream (Crumb Cake). Two coffee cups accented with a little red stand ready to share the coffee love.

follow your heart

There are so many great new products in the Jan – Jun 2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog. I absolutely love the Parisian Blossoms Suite of products. The Parisian Beauty stamp set and coordinating Parisian dies are inspiring. The Parisian Blossoms DSP is beautiful. And this suite includes one of my favorite products in the mini catalog – Champagne Rhinestones!

I paired these products with a Basic Gray card base. The deep gray is a beautiful compliment to the colors in the dsp. The flourish die cut from Champagne foil adds a bit of texture and detail.

sending a little something

By

Hello 2020, I’m ready to kick off another decade of shining a spotlight on creativity! Did you make any New year’s resolutions? I usually don’t, but this year I mad a resolution to actually SEND the cards that I make. So, I’m joining the #mailitmonday movement and plan to send out at least 3 cards every Monday. Let’s see if I can do it!

January also brings the start of a NEW Stampin’ up! mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration! So many fun new products to spotlight. Today’s card combines some fun products from the mini catalog my favorite item from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. Check it out –

The beautiful black and white paper is from the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. My FAVE of the SAB choices this year. The sentiment is from another Sale-a-Bration choice, the Sending You Thoughts stamp set. From the Mini Catalog we have the Stitched So Sweetly dies (I am a sucker for the stitching look) and Detailed Bees dies. The bee is cut out of Gold Foil and looks so striking up close.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
