Hey there! Today I have a third card to share with you that I created with the Magnolia Lane Suite. Once I got started, I really went on a roll!

For this card I embossed a Shimmery White layer with the Layered Leaves folder then added the gold-embossed vellum magnolia bloom with dimensionals:

All of the research I've done on magnolia color (you seldom see a magnolia in Southern Illinois, lol!) shows it with color radiating from the center but with the outer edges are more white or cream. After heat embossing the flower on vellum with gold powder, I colored the bloom on the back side with a Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blend. I then removed the color from the edges inward with the Stampin' Blend Color Lifter. You need to clean the tip of the Color Lifter frequently on scrap paper to keep the tip color-free so it can remove more color.

After coloring, I sponged Liquid Glue on the backside of the bloom/leaves, adhered to a layer of Whisper White, then cut with the coordinating Magnolia Memory die.

The Soft Suede-stamped sentiment was punched with the new Timeless Label and I added a bow tied with new Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.

I stamped the inside sentiment with Soft Suede. I then added a Mossy Meadow leaf that I stamped-off once on scrap paper before stamping below the sentiment.

Is the Good Morning Magnolia Bundle on your wish list yet?

Hey there! I added the "Last Chance" banner to remind you (and me!) that many stamps, dies, and accessories are on the retiring list, including many of the things I used on today's creation! This card is created with the retiring Bike Ride stamp set and Build a Bike framelits:

I love how the Seaside embossing folder (retiring) gives the look of the bike riding through the wind! I sponged the raised lines, as well as the bike, with Crumb Cake ink for a vintage look.

I added the banner with Blushing Bride using the retiring Pick a Pennant stamps and Playful Pennants dies.

I punched the Blushing Bride blooms with a retiring  Bitty Blooms punch.

One of the few things NOT retiring on this card is this sentiment from Strong & Beautiful.

Hey there! Happy one month Anniversary to Troy & Grace! It's hard to believe, after all of the months of waiting for their wedding day, they've been married a month!

Today I have another card created with the Butterfly Beauty dies from the Beauty Abounds bundle and sentiments from Hello Doily:

I used the "Inlaid Embossing" Technique with the butterfly cut-out and the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I love this look. See my instruction handout at the end of this post for the full details of this technique!

Inside I used the bloom spray from Beauty Abounds and a sentiment from Dear Doily.

Hey there! Today I have a simple card to share with you created with the Sale-a-bration set, By the Bay. I used the Emboss Resist Technique, one that I keep returning to often over the years.

After heat embossing the images with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, I used a Sponge Dauber to add color:

The embossed images "resist" the sponged color, hence the name Emboss Resist!

All of the images used on this quick and easy card are included in the By the Bay set.

I used Pool Party, Crumb Cake, and Soft Seafoam inks to sponge with a Sponge Dauber.

Hey there! The February Paper Pumpkin box arrived today and I pounced on it for a session of quick and easy stamping! February's kit, called "Grown With Kindness", is a set of 9 photo-realistic cards featuring succulents!

I whipped these 9 cards together in about 30 minutes!

The stamp set included in the box has 14 different images, so there are many combinations to try!

The kit included everything I needed to make the cards: adhesive, black and white twine, banners to stamp, pieces to layer, and a Fresh Fig one-inch square Stampin' Spot!

My only addition to my stamping session was a Lemon Lime Twist inkpad to coordinate with some of the succulents!

This is my favorite phrase from this box!

This one is pretty good too:

Here's a tip for tying a bow with twine: put a glue dot where you want the bow to be on your card. After you tie the first step of the bow, press the twine into the glue dot. Finish tying the bow and press the rest of the knot into the glue dot too! The glue dot is like having and extra hand while you tie!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription service to deliver a dose of crafty fun to your mailbox every month! Paper Pumpkin is celebrating it's 6th birthday in March with a special kit that includes not just one but TWO stamp sets!

Hey there! I'm sharing more Sale-a-bration swaps today because on February 15th Stampin' Up!  releases a second collection of Sale-abration choices!

Karen Kurz stamped the Tea Together teapot on a Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet (SAB) , cut with a Tea Time Framelit. The greeting was cut with a Well Written Framelit.

Jenna Roby used Tea Together and Tea Time Framelits (you need to order $100 before tax & shipping  to get them free).  White Glossy card stock, All My Love Designer Paper, and Layered Leaves Dynamic Folder.

Lovely Lipstick and Soft Seafoam Stampin' Blends to colored the teapot.

France Martin  used the other $100 Sale-a-bration freebie, Lasting Lily:

She colored the white side of a Colored Doily with Blueberry Bushel ink and added a few Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins for sparkle.

Sharon Tong-Robinson also used Lasting Lily for her calm and serene sympathy card:

Stephanie Flath combined Lasting Lily with Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Paper, a Heart Epoxy Droplet, and a Stitched Shapes framelit.

Stephanie used the Diagonal Fold technique to add more interest to a less-than-fun reason to send a card.

This is a beautiful Lasting Lily sentiment:

Finally, to end on a brighter note, Tamra Davis combined the Daisy Punch, Bitty Blooms Punch Pack, Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper, and a Lasting Lily sentiment for her swap:

Lasting Lily Photopolymer Stamp Set [149717]	Tea Together Cling Stamp Set [148779]	Tea Time Framelits Dies [149697]

Hey there! I've been playing with the Lovely Lattice Sale-a-bration set.  It's one of several great items you can choose from when you place a $50 Stampin' Up! order in my online store.

I started by heat embossing the image with gold powder on Very Vanilla card stock, then adding color with Sponge Daubers.

This card has a Blackberry Bliss base with a layer of Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala designer paper.  I sponged the flowers with Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight, and Blackberry Bliss ink, then colored the leaves and stems with a Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends Marker.

I punched the greeting from Kindness & Compassion with the Pretty Label Punch, then used a Needlepoint Elements Framelit to add the stitching. I punched a Blackberry Bliss Pretty Label to cut in half lengthwise and add behind the greeting. A single Gold Faceted Dot matches the gold embossing of the Lovely Lattice image.

I finished the inside with a simple companion sentiment from Kindness & Compassion.

Your shopping list for today:

Lovely Lattice Cling Stamp Set [149730]	Kindness & Compassion Clear-Mount Stamp Set [146729]	Gingham Gala 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148554]

Hey there! I had fun playing with the Climbing Roses Bundle and All My Love Designer Series Paper the past few days! I created these cards for a swap I just mailed away on Saturday. I wanted to use the same layout as the panel cards, but need to speed-up the process, so I chose a couple of my favorite prints and used one print for each card!

The All My Love DSP coordinates with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Lovely Lipstick:

The Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle is a perfect complement for this paper!

The Gold Metallic Pearl looks sort of Crumb Cake-ish when paired with this paper.

The font of this Kindness & Compassion sentiment coordinates well with the font of the greeting.

The Flirty Flamingo version:

The Rose Trellis Framelit to cut out the greeting is one of my newest favs!

I'll be moving on to a different stamp set, layout, and colors tomorrow, so be sure to come by and see me!

Climbing Roses Cling Bundle [150603]	All My Love 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576]	Whisper White 5/8" (1.6 Cm) Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon [146912]

Hey there! After I created the Wonderful Floral Romance panel card I shared with you yesterday, I tried the same layout with a brand-new pack of All My Love Designer Series Paper to see how wonderfully the prints coordinate together:

After I adhered 5 different 1" x 3 3/4" DSP strips to a 3 3/4" x 5" white panel, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Climbing Vine Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I tied a pretty knot with Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon:

I stamped this sentiment from Climbing Roses  with Lovely Lipstick ink, then cut out with a Rose Trellis Thinlits Die. After adhering the greeting panel with dimensionals above and below the ribbon, I added a single gold Metallic Pearl to finish it all off.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Kindness & Compassion with Lovely Lipstick ink, then stamped the mosaic-pattern image in the corners with Crumb Cake ink.

Hey there! I need thinking of you cards more often than any other, how about you?

I created this card with five 1-inch wide strips of Floral Romance Specialty Designer Paper so show off as many of the gorgeous prints as possible!

I adhered the 1" x 3 3/4" strips to a 3 3/4" x 5" white panel, then embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Folder. I wrapped the panel with a piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon before adding the greeting.

I stamped the greeting from Wonderful Romance and the accent flower on a white scrap, then cut each out with a Wonderful Floral Framelit Die. I colored the flower with both Light and Dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends to coordinate with the blooms in one of the panels.

I adhered the greeting and the bloom with Stampin' Dimensionals and a glue dot, respectively.

A single rhinestone was adhered to the center of the bloom.

For the inside sentiment I chose one from Life is Grand, and stamped Wonderful Romance leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink.
