Prized Peony and Peony Garden for Festive Friday #63

Happy Wednesday! I know.... I know... I know.... ANOTHER peony card! I'm blaming Festive Friday for this one - how could I not choose pink, green and flower from this list - oh and I added sparkle and die-cuts for good measure :-) I know I've said this before, but I really do love the Prized Peony set. I love Good Morning Magnolia, too - but like this one better as the flower is a little smaller. These two really are my favorite Stampin' Up! floral sets of all time. I stamped and colored the flower and die-cut it. I... Read more →

Pampered Playful Pets for Fab Fridays #193

Happy Monday. I have a quick post for you tonight showcasing my favorite Stampin' Up! Playful Pets suite. I made this card using the great sketch across at Fab Fridays I used a piece of the DSP on the base of the card and die-cut one of the dogs for the focal layer. I used my stitched nested labels die to create the focal layer and ran that through my Big Shot with the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder. Made it a little difficult to get a clean stamped sentiment, though! I popped the dog up using 3 die-cuts from spare... Read more →

Sailing Home for Paper Players #499 and blog candy reminder

But, this week it's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge and it's color week and I'm showcasing my Stampin' Up! Sailing Home set. I wanted to keep this really clean and simple. I took a piece of white card stock and blended blue onto it as I wanted something to ground the elements that I was adding. I stamped and die-cut the anchor, the compass and the lighthouse. I colored them using the three colors we were allowed... Read more →
