Diagonal Plate

I just got the Diagonal Plate for the Simply Scored Scoring tool.  Making envelopes is so easy!  I made a bunch of them using my retired DSP.  I added a little white area on the front for the address.

I think this is my new favorite tool!  Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Starfruit

Summer Starfruit is one of the new In Colors and I’m not sure if I like it or not, so I decided to make a card with it.  I used the Layered Labels stamp set with the Floral District DSP.

I think it came out okay… still not sure I like it though!

Papillon Potpourri

Here is another card I made using some new products from Stampin’ Up!  The butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri set and I punched it out using the coordinating Elegant Butterfly punch.  I used the Layered Labels to frame the butterfly and I punched it out using the Apothecary Accents Framelit.

Another Pleasant Poppies

Here’s a tag that I made using the Pleasant Poppies tag.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Pleasant Poppies For You

I’ve been playing with my goodies from the new Stampin’ Up! catalog.  I used the aqua painters to color in the Pleasant Poppies stamp.  The sentiment is from the Layered Labels stamp set and I used the coordinating Apothecary Accents Framelits dies.

Pinwheel birthday

My friend’s son had his 1st birthday last weekend, so I made this pinwheel card for him.  Pinwheels seem to be pretty popular, and they are so easy to make. 

I thought that a 1 year old might like the bright colors of this retired DSP.

Curly Cute Cards

I made a set of cards using the Curly Cute stamp set and the Blossom punch.  It was a great way to use up some retired DSP.  I also used some glimmer brads for the centers.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!

Sharing in your Sorrow

I had to make a couple of sympathy cards last week.  The ginko leaves are from a retired stamp set.  I used the Woodgrain stamp for the background and the sentiment is from the Thoughts & Prayers set.

Yoshimi Surprise Pop Up Card

It was my friend’s birthday over the weekend, so I made this Yoshimi Surprise Pop Up Card for her.  I got the instructions for the Pop Up card from Splitcoaststampers.  I altered the tutorial a little so that when you pull up on the tag, it holds a gift card.

Here is the side view when the card is popped up.

I really like this card design with the hidden message and pull up tag.  And it wasn’t very hard to make either, which is always a plus for me!

Yoshimi Birthday Tag Card

I made this card for my friend’s birthday yesterday.  I started off thinking I wanted a just a tag, but thought that Yoshimi, from Sister Stamps, looked a little plain.  So I turned the tag into a card an added lots of flowers.  I connected two flowers together with a glittery brad.

I like this card much better than just the tag.
