Friendly Silhouettes Dies

The Friendly Silhouettes Dies immediately caught my attention when looking through the catalog.  Being able to make a card really pop off the page is always the desired effect, and this look is dramatic.  For these 2 cards I used the watercolor paper and Pigment Sprinkles to create the background and then glued the die cut onto the background.

Perennial Essence in Petal Pink

I love using punches and flower punches are especially fun to create a fun creative look.  The card below uses both the Perennial Flower Punch and the Leaf Punch.   

Safe in WI

This past Saturday we had some bad storms with straight line winds blow through, a lot of damage, trees down, and power outages.  At this point it has been 76 hours without power and it could possibly be 2 more days without.  No major damage in my yard, just a few days of tree clean up and a few more to go.  

Prior to all this excitement I did have a few cards completed that I didn't get a chance to share.  The Friendly Silhouettes Dies are so amazing, and after looking through some of the new papers, they work great to create a quick easy card that looks beautiful.  The new Watercolor Crystals just arrived and I am looking forward to making some watercolors that will work as similar backgrounds.

July Stamp Club Cards

July Club had a chance to use a few of the new flower stamps to create the cards below.  Which one is your favorite.  I really like the oval frame with the Old Olive Foil.

Party til the cows come home

Another cow card!  The Over the Moon stamp set is just so darn cute!  June is Dairy Month, so celebrating the Dairy industry is a great way to show our support for Wisconsin Dairy Farmers.

Country Home is back

Country Home is back in the new catalog.  The milk can is perfect for an antique look, and with the Stampin' Blends or watercolor pencils it is so easy to get a nice antique look.  I can't wait to stamp many other new images in the milk can. 

Perennial Essence Suite

The Perennial Essence Suite is beautiful.  The stamp set includes more flowers, but with a punch to create punch out flowers it adds some fun.  The DSP that coordinates is like nothing Stampin' Up! has had in the past, the colors and deep, dark and dramatic.  This was a must have from the moment I saw! On the card below I stamped the flowers in Blackberry Bliss, and then right away used the Wink of Stella to blend the color and add some sparkle.
