Wild About Flowers stamp set, Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits

This was my On Stage Live swap.  I have done it in other colors but this one is Tip Top Taupe card base, with layers of Basic Black and Whisper White.  First I stamped the "Congratulations on your" on the die cut label, then I went back and added the "Retirement".  This set has wonderful sentiments.  It is a two step stamping set and the stamps are labeled with either a 1, 2, or 3.  This way you know that the two stamps with the "1's" go together, the two with the "2's" go together, and so on.  It is a photopolymer set so placement is so easy! This Stampin'Up! set makes great Retirement cards! You can order here and click on Shop now!

Love and Sympathy Stamp set, Quick and simple Note cards!

I just returned from the American Mothers conference in Washington, D.C.!  These are the quick and simple note cards I made for a board member to add to the Mother of the Year state honorees' gift bags.  I made 70 of them, fairly lickety split!  The note cards are prescored, and come with the envelopes.  I used Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, and Blackberry Bliss markers with the stamped image and this is layered onto either Lost Lagoon or Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  These are popped up with dimensionals.  They were intentionally left blank for the sender to add her own message, note, or thank you!  Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Elizabeth Smart was the featured speaker at the American Mother's convention!  I wanted a picture with her but she had to catch a plane.  I did share the elevator with her and she stayed on the same floor as me.  She is just a sweetheart.  What a story!

World of Dreams stamp set, Rose Wonder stamp set

World of Dreams is retiring and I just love this silhouette stamp set! I did the background by sponging and I was inspired by a card made by Susan Horr but she brayered.  Supplies are all listed in the supplies.  The sympathy sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set and that set is NOT retiring.  I love the sentiments in that set.  My club members made this card last night and we do have openings.  You do not have to be local to join us!

Wavy Split card, Celebrate Today stamp set

I do not know what to call this technique.  Do you?  I was inspired by a swap card at convention last week in Salt Lake City.  I will post the card below and if it is yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.  I am not sure how your sample was done so I did my own take on it.  I cut a piece of cardstock 4 inches wide by maybe 1.5", then I just put down strips of the In Color Washi Tape and folded the excess to the back.  My top layer of white cardstock was 4" x either 4.75' or 5", and I just did a wavy cut with my paper snips, then spread these two pieces apart and put dimensionals on the back to pop this layer up.  One card I embossed the top piece with the Stars Embossing folder, and the other I left plain.  My "Celebrate" is stamped with the retiring Blackberry Bliss ink.  Finished both cards off with the bling of the Basic Rhinestones!

Mystery card swap designer is found!  The above card was made by Robyn Rasset.  Thanks for the inspiration, Robyn!

Playful Pals stamp set, Pyramid Pals dies, Frog Tic Tac Convention gift

 

Sorry that I have been neglectful of my blog postings lately, but have been working on the dreaded taxes, and getting ready for Stampin'Up!'s On Stage Live which is their convention.  I leave from home tomorrow, flying in on Sunday, the 10th and staying until the 17th.  My sister joins me and we enjoy some serious sister time before the actual convention starts.  Another dear stamping friend, also flies in early and spends the week with us.  Who wouldn't want to spend time with Debi and I?  We are a hoot when we are together!  Anyway, here is part of my gift to my roommates.  I have made and posted before, these Tic Tac holders, as a snowman, frog, or bunny, but this one is specific to OnStage Live!  I used my Alphabet Rotary stamp for all the words.  My base is 4 3/4" x 3", with corners rounded with the Envelope Punch Board.  I score at 2" and 2 3/4".  The mouth is done with the 7/8" scalloped circle punch.  There is dsp on the inside that covers up the ribbon that is adhered with the Tear and Tape.  Just use Mini Glue dots to attach the Tic Tac container.  Hope you like!
