Remarkable You

The very first stamp set that I ordered from the new annual catalog was Remarkable You. I love the sketched look of this set and I think it is perfect for a little aqua painter action. 

I stamped the image with Staz-on ink and used the aqua painter and Blackberry Bliss to get the watercolor look. I then punched the image out with my 2 1/2" circle punch. I love the color combination of Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive on a Crumb Cake background. Add a little twine and a little bling and it's a beautifully simple card.

I'm Back!!!

It's been awhile since I've had an opportunity to post, or stamp for that matter. There were some things at my regular 9 to 5 job that had me working long hours for the past several months. Things are slowing down a bit and I'm gradually getting back in the groove.

Since we last talked, Stampin' Up! has released the new annual catalog. There are some great items returning. I was relieved to see some favorites carried over from the Holiday and Spring mini catalogs, as well as some great new items. You can see the PDF version of the catalog below. If you would like a physical catalog, please just let me know and I will be happy to send one along.

I finally sat down last week and did some stamping and I love the card that I came up with. I'll post it tomorrow. Keep your eyes open for a special Paper Pumpkin offer and currently weekly deals too.

Fun with Flower Patch

On Mother's Day, I promised to post the second Mother's Day card that I made as soon as I confirmed that it has been received. For the card for my mom, I chose Flower Patch. I love these cute contemporary flowers that lend themselves to building a variety of different bouquets.

I will admit that I picked up the flower colors and arrangement from a card I found on Pinterest. Forgive me but I couldn't find it again. Also, it is difficult to see, but I used the Polka Dot embossing folder on the Crumb Cake background to give it a bit of texture. I love the happy colors of this card and the bold statement that is perfect for my Mom.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mommies out there. I made Mother's Day cards for my mom and mother-in-law and now that I know that my at least one has been received, I can post it here! I pulled out an oldie but a goody for this card, Summer Silhouettes. I love the simplicity and versatility of this set.

I will post my other Mother's Day card as soon as I know that my Mom has received it.

Farewell to Regarding Dahlias

I guess I'm feeling a bit sad to see some of my stamp sets retiring this year. I decided that I needed to bid a nice farewell to some of my favorites. While searching for some inspiration, I came across this week's Paper Players Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch:

I decided to break out Regarding Dahlias for this challenge and I wanted it to have a fun girly flair. 

I chose Basic Black, Whisper White, and Rose Red for my colors I also used the Back to Black DSP for a  modern flair. And of course, I had to add some rhinestones because I always need something a little shiny. 

The Regarding Dahlias stamp set and the Artisan Punch are both currently on the retired list. Get them while you still can!
