New Color Renovation

Peace Within Card

I passed this stamp set by several times and then finally decided to buy it and I am so glad I did. I really love it and it will be great for many different occasions I think. I have a friend going in for surgery soon so made this card with her in mind. This is also the first time trying the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and I LOVE them! Another item that was at the bottom of my wish list. I think this turned out pretty good for a first effort but need to play with them a lot more.

Product used:

Cardstock: Old Olive, Orchid Opulence, Pumpkin pie

DSP: Cottage Wall

Stamps: Peace Within, Kind & Caring Thoughts

Punches: Large Oval, Scallop Oval

Misc. Watercolor Wonder Crayons, 5/8" white satin ribbon

Welcome Neighbor card

I made this quick card just using the Welcome Neighbor DSP paper pad, another free item in the current Sale A Bration (SAB). This was my first attempt at making squares with the new border/corner Scallop punches Stampin' Up came out with this year. Thanks to Gretchen Barron's tutorial it was pretty easy! The Scallop Trim border punch is another free item in the SAB!!!

Product used:
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
DSP: Welcome Neighbor
Punches: Scallop Trim border and corner

Chocolate Bunny Easter Card

I fell in love with this bunny stamp the minute I saw it in the Spring Mini.



One thing the camera isn't picking up well is the clear embossing I did on the bunny. In person it gives it so much depth and richness.



Product used:
Stamps: Chocolate Bunny, Well Scripted
Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink
DSP: Tea Party
Punches: Scallop Oval, Blossom Party, Little Leaves
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic stamp pad
Misc. Clear Emboss powder, Choc. Chip 5/8" satin ribbon, Choc. Chip Epoxy Brad

Finally!

Finally I had a full day of creativity and I got it started by CASE'ing a card from this blog. I saw it a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it. I made my version for Mother's Day.


I used:
Cardstock: Crushed Curry and Whisper White
Stamp sets: Abundant Hope and Tiny Tags. The "MOM" is computer generated
Embossing Folder: Perfect Polka Dots
Ink: Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Creamy Caramel Stampin' Write Markers
Ribbon: Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain
Punches: Medium Jewelry Tag

I made another similar card:



The only differences are:
DSP: Welcome Neighbor
Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Punches: Modern Label and Word Window

I made a couple more that I will post tomorrow.
