Wetlands Card

I saw an idea on Brandy Cox's site here.  I didn't do the same textured background as she did, but the CASE was totally her idea.

I used the Wetlands Stamp Set and Marina Mist CS.  I used the Marina Mist Stamp Pad and a Blender Pen to color the goose.  Such a simple card, but so awesome!  I stamped him on the card and then one on a piece of scrap paper.  Fussy cut him out after coloring and used dimensional to attach to the card.  Some layering, a little Baja Breeze Taffeta Ribbon (now retired -sorry) and viola ~ here it is!

Tina's Thank You!

My downline had to give up being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator for now ~ the economy is very hard on all of us and especially those who have teen-agers in their homes.  The good news is, she's still my "customer"!  I still get to share all the Stampin' UP! excitement with her too....

I saw this card on Patty Bennett's site; Patty's Stamping Spot and it really caught my eye.  I added a little bling to mine, but otherwise it's pretty much a straight CASE!  Thanks Patty.

I've had Washi Tape for sometime now and hadn't really used it, other than to wrap around my iPad and iPhone charger cords!!!  LOL!  I used the Oval Framelits to cut the Gingham Garden DSP (one of my favorite sheets out of that group), Gingham Garden Washi Tape along the bottom of the card (so easy to do and then just snip off the ends).  I used the Flower Shop Stamp Set and matching Pansy Punch.  The flowers were stamped with Strawberry Slush Ink.  The Thank You is from Sassy Salutations Stamp set and stamped with Black StazOn Ink.  I used Rhinestones inside one of the flowers and one of the little Brights Candy Dots inside the other.  The inside was computer generated and cut with the Oval Framelits. I also lined the inside of the envelope using Gingham Garden DSP using the Envelope Liners Framelits (love those little guys)! 

Thanks for everything Tina ~ 

Shelby's B-Day Card

I CASED this from Angie Juda at Chic'N Scratch.  It was her June, 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month.  So cute!  She has a video posted there too.  The card is for Bob's Granddaughter in New Hampshire. 

I just love the brightness of the Melon Mambo CS.  The Happy Birthday to You is from the Label Love Stamp Set and punched out with the Artisan Label Punch.  I used Melon Mambo CS and Ink.  The Gingham Garden DSP was used for the flags and for the envelope liner.  The ribbon is white stitched Grograin.  I used the Envelope Liners Framelit to cut out the liner for the inside flap of the envelope. The front of the card was embossed using the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  The inside sentiment was computer generated.

Thanksgiving Box

I found this cute box on Connie Stewart's site Simply Simple Stamping here.  Don't you just love all the pretty colors.  She did a fantastic job and has instructions including a video.  She also shows some that she created for Christmas.  Thanks Connie!  Love CASEing your site.  Thank you so much for sharing.

This is such a fun project!  The stamp set used is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and cut out with the Decorative Label Punch.  The DSP is Sweater Weather.  The leaves are cut using using Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler 1" Ribbon.  The leaves have been run through the Big Shot using several different embossing folders.  Check out the tutorial on Connie's site, she makes it so easy to recreate!

Happy Stampin'

Halloween 2013

I found these cute little Halloween Treat Bags on Becky Roberts' Inking Idaho site here.  She comes up with the cutest ideas.  I threw a few together to give to my friends at work. 

I used Stampin' UP! Clear Envelopes (102619) for the treats and Halloween Hello Stamp Set.  The first layer is Black CS punched with the Framelits Label Collection and the stripes are from Witches Brew DSP.  A little Pumpkin Pie for one of the circle layers, Silver Glimmer Paper and Black CS punched with the Oval Circle Punch.  Isn't that little witch just so cute.  The banner is cut using Gumball Green CS and stamped with the it's all about the candy! which was also in the Halloween Hello Stamp Set.

Hope everyone had a SAFE and fun Halloween!
