Thanks to my wonderful customers and amazing Stamps Fantastic! team for making this an amazing year with Stampin' Up!
Normally we would be celebrating our On Stage convention in person, but in the year of Covid-19, we are meeting virtually. OnStage@Home will be a whole new experience, and though I will miss seeing my fellow demonstrators in person, I look forward to seeing you all virtually!

This was my 15 year anniversary with Stampin' Up! I also earned this recognition.

Beautiful Friendship


To day I am featuring the new stamp set called Beautiful Friendship. It is found on page 123 of the annual catalogue. This is a new set in the distINKtive line.
I like the way these flowers look stamped in muted tones, like I have done on this card.

 The colours I used are Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Soft Seafoam and Daffodil Delight (stamped off). I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black and used the Layering Ovals dies to cut it out.
The soft, muted tones look very pretty.
The card dimensions are:
card base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
card panel: 5" x 4 3/4"
mat: 5 1/8" x 4 7/8"

To see how this card was created, please watch my video on youtube.

Pretty Purple Daisies

The first Monday of every month I offer Coffee and a Card at my studio. Tonight we created a pretty card using the Daisy Lane stamp set and matching punches. We also used some of the Purple Posy designer Series paper.

 I added some of the matching designer series paper to the inside of the envelope...I think it adds a really special touch!
 The flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and then punched out with their matching punches. I used dimensionals between the petals of each flower to add well, dimension. :)

A few basic jewel rhinestones here and there add some sparkle. Sometimes the simple cards turn out to be the best! I love how this came together. To see how to create this card from start to finish, watch my video on You tube. Here are the measurements:
-card base whisper white thick 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
-purple posy card stock 5" x 3 3/4"
-whisper white front panel 5 1/4" x 4"
-purple posy designer series paper 3/4" x 4"
