Hey there! Today is Free Shipping Day at Stampin' Up! on all orders of $75 or more, AND the 15% off Designer Series Paper Sale is still going on too, which is why I wanted to share with you this card I created with the Inked & Tiled stamp set and the coordinating Inked Botanicals 6 x 6 Designer Paper that is on sale too!

As you can see, I let the Inked Botanicals paper do most of the work, providing the background layer and the cross-piece, as well as the focal image layer, which is the only layer stamped on the card front!

We also made this card at my June card class last Saturday. I kept the colors separate by stamping each image with a different color: Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, and Calypso Coral.

I stamped the Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral full-strength, but stamped-off the Lost Lagoon leaves once on scrap paper before stamping on the plaid designer paper. I stamped the greeting with full-strength Lost Lagoon. I added a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4" Bordered Ribbon that I frayed a bit on the ends. I finished the front with a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

I finished the inside of the Very Vanilla card layer with coordinating stamping and a birthday greeting.

I included the class hand-out for this card in my newsletter that went out this morning, so I am including it here for you:

Download Inked & Tiled

BTW, the Inked & Tiled Bundle includes two fun punches that I didn't use on this card, but I will be using soon. These punches coordinates with images found in the Inked Botanicals 6 x 6 Designer paper, on sale this month!

Hey there! I know I posted here a few weeks ago, but then fell off the face of the earth again. Things have been really different around here since my daughter's family moved in with us in the middle of March. With 6 littles ages 9, 8, 6, 4, 3, and almost 1, there's so much to do and so many needs to be met. Please don't think that I am complaining, I love having them here and getting to be an active participant in their lives, but naturally I've had to put much of my Stampin' Up! business on the back-burner.

It is now summer and my schedule is starting to open up just a little bit more, (after VBS is over this week where I am in charge of Crafts). I wanted to share a class that I have scheduled for this coming Saturday at my church, Ina Free Will Baptist Church in Ina, Illinois. I don't have all of the projects figured out yet, but here's three of the five projects we will be making:

These three cards were created, from left to right, with the Birds Eye View & Circle Sayings stamp sets, Cheerful Daisies & Countryside Corners Dies, and the Beautiful Balloons Bundle.

At my class we will make 5 cards for $25 or free with a $40 Stampin' Up! product order. Anyone who orders at least $50 will get to choose an item from my freebie stash.

Hey there! I've been MIA again, finishing up the school year baby-sitting with Fiona, taking care of my family living with us, and becoming a great-grandma! Woods William Thompson was born last Wednesday night, weighing a whopping 5 lbs. 7 oz! He and his mama are perfect, so no worries!

He is simply the cutest little guy!

I haven't been doing much stamping lately, but I did create this card with the Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection found on pages 14-15 of the new Annual Catalog:

I used all of the components of the suite, adding in a few more of my favorite products. I used Blueberry Bushel, a returning in-color, to stamp "YAY YOU!" directly on the balloon cut with a Beautiful Balloons die from Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 designer paper. I cut more balloons from Berry Burst and Blueberry Bushel card stocks, then cut another balloon from the Gold Celebrations Specialty paper to add over the Berry Burst balloon with a mini glue dot. I adhered all of the balloons to a Lemon Lime Twist layer that I embossed with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders. These folders are only available to see online, and are part of the new "Online Exclusives", but should be available most of the year as they were mentioned in the new Annual Catalog.

The Beautiful Balloons dies include a die to cut this "fringe"! I sandwiched it between the embossed layer and the card front with a line of liquid glue.

Inside I stamped the "Happy Birthday" with Blueberry Bushel ink on a tag I cut with another of the Beautiful Balloons dies! I added a bit of gold Simply Elegant Trim and gold sequins to finish it off!
