New Baby Animals Card

hehehe this stamp set has such versatility.....recently I have made a Father's Day card with it, a birthday card and now baby cards.  Here is one of the 5 baby boy cards I made the other day.  I like the bolder colors for baby boy cards.  The Peach Parfait is one of my favourites to use for a baby boy card.  The "New Baby" words is from the Fundamental Phrases stamp set.  That stamp set has a variety of words for every occasion.  I like the font of the stamp set too - it isn't too big and isn't too small.

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:

Stamp set: Animal Stories, Fundamental Phrases

Paper: Very Vanilla card stock, Pear Pizzazz card stock, Sahara Sand card stock

Ink: Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin' Pad, Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' Pad, Peach Parfait Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad

Hello Baby Train Card

Last night I was able to make a bunch of baby cards and boy do I need them.  I needed to make 5 baby boy cards and 1 baby girl card.  Here is one of the cards I made for the baby boys.  I had a lot of fun making this card.  If you look closely you will see that I added some texture to the card base by using my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates.  The Choo-Choo stamp set and Right on Track Stampin' Around standard wheel are both on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance" list.  So after June 30, 2011 they will no longer be available.  When I saw this stamp set and standard wheel for the first time in the 2008-2009 Idea Book and Catalogue I knew that these were the products I was going to use to make my son's first birthday invitations.  I will have to see if I have one somewhere so that I can upload it and show it to you.  This is a great stamp set and standard wheel to make boy themed cards.

Stampin' Up! supplies used:
Stamp Set: Choo-Choo, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Wheel: Right on Track Stampin' Around standard wheel
Paper: Baja Breeze card stock, Basic Gray card stock, Whisper White card stock, Pear Pizzazz card stock

Pizzazz Razzleberry Hydrangea

I haven't added any words to this card yet but decided to upload it anyway.  I sometimes make cards and don't stamp the words on them until the day I use them.  This card features the hostess level 1 stamp set Because I Care.  This stamp set is one of the items on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance" stamp set list.  If you place a qualifying order of $200.00 or more you could receive this set as your hostess stamp set. 

This set was a freebie choice when we purchased our first demonstrator order last year when the 2010 & 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue came out.  Sometimes Stampin' Up! does special stuff like that for their demonstrators.  I have had lot of fun playing and demonstrating with this stamp set this year.  I especially like using the flower with shimmer paint and re-inkers.  If you look close to the picture you will see a shine to it.  I put a couple of drops of Champagne Shimmer Paint and a couple of drops of Rich Razzleberry re-inker in an empty brad container, then I mixed them both together and applied the mixture to my stamp with a sponge dauber.  The Shimmer Paint gives the image a nice shiny look.

Stampin' Up! supplies used:

Stamp Set: Because I Care (hostess level 1)

Paper: Pear Pizzazz card stock, Rich Razzleberry card stock, Basic Black card stock, Very Vanilla card stock

Ink: Rich Razzleberry Classic Re-Inker, Pear Pizzazz Classic Re-Inker

Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Scallop Edge Corner Punch, Rhinestones Basic Jewels, Basic Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Whales Celebrate card

Ohh I was having fun the other night with different colored card stock and my Scallop Edge Punch...hehehe here is another card with that effect on it.  I really like it.  The scallop edges of the card stock on this card do no line up.  I wanted to see what the card would look like if I lined them up differently.  This card also uses 2 stamp sets that are found on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance" stamp set list.....Animal Stories and Fundamental Phrases.  I stamped the word "celebrate" on this card so that I could use it for a birthday card.

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:
Stamp set: Animal Stories, Fundamental Phrases
Paper: Whisper White card stock, Baja Breeze card stock, Marina Mist card stock, Night of Navy card stock, Pacific Point card stock
Ink: Night of Navy Classic Stampin' Pad, Marina Mist Classic Stampin' Pad, Baja Breeze Classic Stampin' Pad, Pacific Point Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Brad from Styled Silver HodgePodge Hardware

Citrus Hello

After making the Lemon Surprise scrapbook page of my son and commenting that the citrus image in the Tart & Tangy stamp set could be used as an orange, lemon or lime the inspiration came to make a card just like that.  Here is my "Citrus Hello" card.  This is a very easy card to make and quickly duplicate.  I love those kinds of cards.  :o)  I have seen quite often other creators putting scallop edges like the one I did on this card.  I don't think I have done that before but I really like that effect.  The stamp Tart & Tangy stamp set is lots of fun to stamp with.  If it is a set on your "wishlist" make sure you purchase it before the end of June because after that it is no longer available.  Another stamp set that I used on this card is the Fundamental Phrases card.  This is a great stamp set as it consists of words for not only occasions but every day use like the word I picked for my card.  This stamp set is also on the "Last Chance" stamp set list.  I was going over the Last Chance Accessories list the other night and saw that the HodgePodge Hardware is an item on that list.  I still have some left so I thought I would use a brad to put the finishing touch on my card.  Did you notice that this card does not have any ribbon on it?  Are you surprised?  I am....mostly all of my cards have some sort of ribbon on it.  Perhaps my use for the Styled Silver HodgePodge Hardware was enough to use as an embellishment.  My card size is 3" x 5".

Stampin' Up! supplies used:
Stamp Set: Tart & Tangy, Fundamental Phrases
Paper: Soft Suede card stock, Whisper White card stock, Daffodil Delight card stock, Peach Parfait card stock, Pear Pizzazz card stock
Ink: Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad, Peach Parfait Classic Stampin' Pad, Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Perfect Polka-Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, brad from the Styled Silver HodgePodge Hardware

Celebrate you Owl card

Here is a card I made using a couple of stamp sets that are on the "Last Chance" stamp set list. They are Animal Stories, Matchbox Messages and All Holidays. Each of these stamp sets are very versatile in the different cards and scrapbook pages you can make using them. I have made many baby cards using the Animal Stories stamp set. I love the words and frames found in the Matchbox Messages stamp set and the All Holidays stamp set is great for the different occasions we celebrate during the year. On the inside of the card I stamped "Happy Father's Day". I thought this would be a great card for my kids to give their Dad this Father's Day. The Father's Day stamp is used from the All Holidays stamp set which is also on the "Last Chance" stamp set list.

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:
Stamp Sets: Animal Stories, All Holidays, Matchbox Messages stamp set (all listed stamp sets are retiring)
Paper: Crumb Cake card stock, Early Espresso card stock, Whisper White card stock, Baja Breeze card stock
Ink: Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad, Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad

My Dear Kind Wonderful Friend card

I didn't realize how many stamp sets I have on the "Last Chance" list....here is a card I made using the All Holidays(saying), Matchbox Messages (frame) and Pick a Petal stamp sets.  I just love that saying.  It is a great one to brighten someone's day.  Another fav of mind is the Pick a Petal stamp set.  It has so many different stamps in it that can make really pretty flowers.  You can also make a bunch of different kinds of flowers with the variety of stamp sets.  You can make the 5-petal flower like I did in the card above or you can make a flower resembling the Black Eyed Susan flower, with 3 petals down and a half circle on top.  These stamp sets have really been fun to demonstrate with.

Stampin' Up! supplies used:

Stamp sets: Pick a Petal, All Holidays, Matchbox Messages

Paper: Crumb Cake card stock, Melon Mambo card stock, Pink Pirouette card stock, Early Espresso card stock, Very Vanilla card stock

Marina Butterfly Great Friend Card

During the month of June you will see some cards that I have made using stamp sets from the "Last Chance" stamp set list.  Here is a card I made using the Matchbox Messages and Great Friend stamp sets.  I have really enjoyed using both of these stamp sets while they were available.  The butterfly stamp from the Great Friend stamp set was great stamp set to use with Shimmer Paint.  That was one of my fav uses for it.  The Matchbox Messages stamp set was great for the different sayings it had as well as the neat little labels that showcased the sayings.  I am planning on sending out some "last chance" cards to my stamping friends with a "last chance bonus" coupon inside.  Keep a watch on your mailbox.  Hopefully Canada Post isn't on strike and you will receive your card.  If you are not on my mailing list and could like to receive a "last chance bonus" coupon all you have to do is send me an email with your mailing address in it.  I have an "email me" link at the top right of my stamping blog or you can click here.

After June 30, 2011 I won't be able to demonstrate with them again as Stampin' Up! demonstrators are only able to demonstrate with current products.  Also after June 30, 2011 these stamp sets will no longer be available for purchase from the Idea Book & Catalogue as a new Idea Book & Catalogue comes out on July 1.  Yeah!  I have seen some sneak peaks and am very impressed with the new fresh products that will be available.

Stamp Sets: Great Friend, Matchbox Messages

Paper: Crumb Cake card stock, Baja Breeze card stock, Pear Pizzazz card stock, Whisper White card stock, Early Espresso card stock
