Banner Banter

These 2 cards are more examples of the Stamp set Amazing Birthday from Convention.  I used 2 different colors and Lullabye Designer paper.

 First up a Sahara Sand card base with Crisp Cantaloupe and Vellum Banner.  All cut with the Banner Framelits.  The sentiment was stamped in Baked Brown Sugar.  Large Polka Dots embossing folder mimics the dots in the Designer paper.  Silver Baker's twine finishes this card.

Next we have a Pool Party card base.  I love how all our Blues combine so well together.  The Banner is stamped in Coastal Cabana, Sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar and the cake in Hello Honey.  The Crumb cake banner is embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder.  A mini clothes pin clips it all together on our Coastal Cabana twine.

Monochromatic!

This was one of my favorite cards shown at Convention.  So Simple, yet so striking!  And I love this embossing folder and on a colored piece of card stock the effect is fabulous! 

 

The card base is Whisper White.  The sentiment from the Hostess Set Bloom with Hope and punched with the Decorative Label punch.  The Lost Lagoon mat was embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  Then the Lost Lagoon ink pad was drug across the mat, leaving ink on the raised embossing.  Lost Lagoon ribbon was tied around the mat and adhered to the card base.  Simple and elegant in any color!!

Flowery DayDream Bundle

Here is another card using the Daydream Medallion stamp set and the Matching Floral Collections Framelits.  I used Blushing Bride and So Saffron ink for the Flower and then cut out a larger flower in So Saffron and embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  The Sentiment is from Lots of Thanks. 

I added a So Saffron button tied with a bit of White baker's twine.  This card would make a Beautiful Sympathy card, Wedding or any occasion card.  Watch for a Christmas wreath coming soon!

Bright and Beautiful Bundle

I know early for a Christmas Card, but I promised to show this card and I'm a day late!  This stamp set in the new Holiday catty and is on sale NOW as a bundle with the Stars Framelits.  I embossed two of the Stars with Gold embossing powder on Naturals White card stock, then cut them out with the Star Framelits.  I used a retired brad, (but a Vintage Brad would be beautiful) to anchor the Stars together and popped them up over a new thick 12x12 cardstock that will be available in the Holiday catty and gorgeous Cherry Cobbler ribbon.  The sentiment was embossed on the card base with gold embossing powder.  This is a Great stamp set with Joy, Noel, Shine and 2 verse sentiments. 

Check out the other bundles on Special during August and remember if you buy a BIG Shot from Stampin' UP! and me, you get one of the Special Bundles FREE!! Or by a bundle and save 15%!!

Convention Card projects

Here are 2 of out Convention Make N Takes.  I love them both, but the Birthday card pouch is so awesome and a great way to gift some of your handmade cards!

 This pouch hold 4 of our Note cards and envelopes.  And who knew this pouch is made from one of our Gift Card Enclosure pre-scored cards.  You get 10 for $5.95!!  You simply add a score line at 1/2 inch from the original score line on 3 sides to allow for the space for the cards.  Super Simple!  A Belly Band of Designer paper from Flower Pot and then decorated with Amazing Birthday and Gold Glimmer Stars.  So cute and so Colorful!   Colors used, Lost Lagoon, Tangerine Tango, Hello Honey and Real Red.

Our next project used Kinda Eclectic.  The Honeycomb embossing folder was inked with Crumb Cake ink and pressed lightly on the card stock to create a subtle background.  I forget how pretty this can be and need to use this technique more often.  The Sun image was then stamped in Hello Honey, leaves in Mossy Meadow.  The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow on Crumb cake and the backgound bubble stamp was stamped in crumb cake for a subtle background.  Ends are flagged and popped up over some Linen Thread that is looped and adhered to the card base.  A thin strip of Blackberry Bliss stripes from the Moonlight paper stack is added and a Tangerine Tango Butterfly, Hello Honey Flowers and a Vellum Bitty Butterfly!!  Lots of product makes a Beautiful card!!

Both of these cards can be made at the August 2nd Stamp a Stack.
