Birthday Statements

Hello Everyone from the snowy land of Iowa. Today is a good day to catch up on some blogging. This is what I woke up to this morning. Really can't complain. This is our first big snow.

I'll show you a few cards I've been working on lately. I'm having so much fun with the Stampin' Blends.

This one is done with the older style Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay.

Here is another using Lovely Lipstick, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

I really liked these striking colors together, Mango Melon and Granny Apple Green. 

For this card, I used Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and threw in a dash of Granny Apple Green. These cards just go to show what you can do with just one stamp set and changing the colors and folders that you choose. They all look so different.

Gingham Gala

I Love this new Designer Series Paper called Gingham Gala. I've had so much fun designing these cards using the new DSP, along with Hello Cupcake stamp set and the new ribbons from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack. You can only get the ribbon and stamp set if you purchase $50 worth of product and choose these items from the Sale A Bration catalog. It would actually take$100 purchase if you wanted both products. Sale A Bration is an annual event with Stampin Up that happens once a year. These products are available from January 3rd to March 31st, 2019.

The Gingham paper comes in Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight. I have designed some cards in those colors. Here are the details:

• Base is 5.5" x 8.5" and scored at 4 1/4". I used thick white cardstock for this.
• The gingham is cut at 5.5" x 2".
• The square that I mounted the cupcake on is the 2nd largest in the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the rectangle is from the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits. It's the smallest one.
• I stamped the cupcake holder in Crumb Cake and the muffin top in Soft Suede. I fussy cut those out and taped them to the square. The cake tops were stamped in the matching colors of the gingham paper and were also fussy cut.  I mounted the cupcake top on a dimensional an tied a ribbon and made a bow around the card.

Wonderful Romance

Happy New Year 2019 everyone!!

I had a lot of enjoyment designing and making this card. Most of these products are from the new Occasions catalog which goes live on January 3rd. I especially enjoyed the Stampin Blends. If you haven't tried them, you really should. Lots of relaxation. And did I mention the new Cling Free stamps? These are heavenly and they stick so well to the blocks. I have finally put the labels back on my stamps. Here's the instructions on making this card:

• Pear Pizzas Base is 8.5" x 5.5" scored at 4 1/4"  and then cut off 1 1/2" on the 5.5" side
• DSP is 2 3/4" x 5.5"
• Embossed edge is 1 1/8". I adhered with glue right under the part I cut off.
• Inside message area is 5 1/4" x 3 1/4"
