White With One Color

When I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I knew I would have to give up entering all the challenges from various blogs that I had done in the past. But.............there are still a few blogs and challenges that I can enter because they are not sponsored by any company, no prizes, just for fun, and you win a badge, and possibly be featured in a blog post.

So, with saying all that, I found a blog called CAS on Sunday. It's a clean and simple challenge blog with different themes to follow every two weeks. I am so happy to be able to enter challenges again, I've really missed it!

Their theme this time around is White: Make a white card with one other color. I have chosen Calypso Coral for mine. The card base and layer is in Whisper White, the sentiment is from the stamp set Choose Happiness, and the flourish is from Flowering Flourishes. I did round the corners to soften it up a bit.

Thank you for stopping in for a look, and Thank You CAS on Sunday for the challenge!!

Monochromatic Wedding Card

Today I have a card and video to share using the retiring products. Yes, the gorgeous I Love Lace background stamp is going away!! So sad......

In the video I share more items that are going away, but next week I get t see a peek of the new catalog, so that's exciting!!! :)

I've also changed my blogger profile pic. Thought an updated one would be more fitting than the 8 year old one I was using! LOL 

I hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks for watching!

Stampin' Up!'s 2015 Retired List

It's that time again! The retired list is here. Lots of stamps, punches, ribbons, dies, and more are retired, and some are marked down in price. Get your list going and order early, as things sell out quite fast the first few days!! 

View the pdf list here You can order through my online store, or through the Stampin' Up! site. Just choose me as your demonstrator :) The link is at my sidebar, and happy shopping!!

Inlaid Die Cuts

I have a very simple version of this technique today, just using circle framelits. The papers are from the All Abloom stack, and I chose small patterns so they would show up in the small die cut rings. I like the look of a smooth flush finish, and of course you could use any die cut shape.

I added two punched butterflies, candy dots, and the sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree set. I didn't want to add too much, to keep the focus on the center.

Stampin' Up!'s retired list goes up tomorrow! Wonder what will be staying and going?! Also, the butterfly framelits and stamp set are back in stock! They've been sold out for awhile now!

Thanks so much for visiting today!!

Kinda Eclectic

Hi there! I sure haven't posted much this week. I have made a few projects, but kept forgetting to take pics of them!! Anyway, today's card uses the stamp set called Kinda Eclectic. I used every stamp in this set, and the name says it all. A fun mix of images that all look wonderful together.

I'm not that good with collage work, but I'm proud of myself for pulling this one off! :) I didn't have any plan when starting to stamp, I just went here and there with the images. The two butterflies match the punches, so super easy to do.

I also ended up using six different colors as well! They are Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, Pear Pizzazz(two greens I'm counting as one), So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Tangelo Twist, and Marina Mist. I'm starting to take quite a liking to the blue of Marina Mist. So you will more than likely see more of it! :)

I did emboss the yellow panel with the Perfect Polka Dots folder, just to add more interest, and the paper doily added a girly flair.

That's it for me today, thank you for visiting!!

Shrink Plastic Charms Stampin' Up! Style

Shrink plastic is so much fun, and I've made a few charms using my Stampin' Up! stamps. I did make a video the other day for those who haven't tried it before. It's quite simple, and the shapes are only endless to what stamps you have.



Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!
