Life in the Forest

I just sat down and made my first card with this set, and I didn't think I was going to like this set, but it is growing on me!  A great set to watercolor or use markers to create a different look each time!  Great to use as an accent or create entire Forest scene! This card was for special little boy on his birthday today!

Pistachio Pudding

Getting creative today was a monochromatic kind of day.  I have had the Pistachio Stretch Ribbon for awhile and have not used it, so today was the day, I think it looks great was an accent to the focal circle.  The card uses the Spiral Spins Stamp Set, and several circle punches!

Banner Punch

One of the choices for a FREE item during Sale-A-Bration is the Banner Punch.  A very nice additions to create a little extra to a card.  If you punch on a folded edge you can wrap it over a piece of twine and create the look of a flag.

SAB You're Lovely

Another great choice from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to choose as a FREE item is the You're Lovely stamp set.  This set of 5 stamps has two stamps that make a great focal point on many cards, and they coordinate with the Deco Labels Framelits.  

Valentines

Valentines Day will be here before you know it, so now is the time to get stamping!  I started to work on them today, and this is what I came up with using the Hearts Framelits and a few other Big Shot tools!

Another Springtime card

Ok, I have been having some fun with this set, it looks great in so many colors.  Crushed Curry creates a great daisy look to the flowers.  

Bee

The Bee in the Hello Springtime coordinates so well with the Hexagon/Bee Hive shapes.  Buzz.

Hello Springtime

On some of these winter days, it is really hard to imagine spring.  But, it would be really nice.  Hello Springtime is a fun set, and on these cards I have coordinated this with the Fresh Prints DSP Stack.  I used the Triangle Punch and pieced the triangles together.  I was so excited that Stampin' Up! has now added to the paper stacks the list of colors used: Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Real Red and Whisper White.

Spiral Spins

Spiral Spins is a fun set in the Occasions Catalog.  Only 3 stamps can come together to create  many great backgrounds.  It reminds me of the spirograph that I remember playing with as a kid.  

Another fun tool in the catalog are the Fringe Scissors, they are a lot of fun to play with, I used them on the cards below on the red decorative strip.  Adds a fun texture to this card!

Make Note This and That Rotary Stamp

The Make Note This and That Rotary Stamp is a great way to get several fun stamps all on the same stamp.  I especially like the glasses, and think they look great on a card.
