GREAT THANK YOU CARD

 

Linda Kincaid demonstrated this card that she cased from SU!'s Stampin Success magazine for demonstrators.  The card uses the card stock colors poppy parade and daffodil delight, 2 of our newest colors.  Wow!  Don't these colors look great together?  Such happy colors.  Linda enhanced the card and took it one step further by embossing the poppy parade card stock with the elegant lines embossing folder, exclusive to SU!  The flowers are die cut from a sizzlet for the Big Shot called Floral Fusion.  The Stamp set she stamped on the front of the card is On a Pedestal.  There is a sentiment with the word wonderful popped up and the pedestal is an ornament on it's side next to the words.  Very clever!

 

The inside of the card is so colorful and joyful.  It is from the stamp set For Everything.  I just love this set and so glad Linda has it.  I love how she colored the sentiment in with her stampinwrite markers and added flowers from the itty bitty bits punches with brads.

 Rita and Patty are above working on their versions of the card!

 Linda showed us some other samples of stamped images using the stamp set On a Pedestal.  I love how she made the cake and then used the bon bons in the set for ice cream scoops.

 Really a neat idea!

 Turn the bon bon upside down and you have a tropical drink.  The little cherry comes in the stamp set also!

 The samples were so clever and really bright.  These are the types of cards I really love to send and to receive.

Thanks Linda and a thank you to Hsiao-hui also for helping demonstrate at Pat's.  A Big Thank You to Pat for hosting us.  Pat served us delicious homemade soup and crackers with hummus and handcrafted caramels.  It was a lovely evening!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA MURPHY

Here is another birthday card. This time, it's for another very sweet person - my friend Linda Murphy. Linda's also a July Birthday! I used the elegant lines embossing folder which is BRAND NEW and ran baja breeze card stock through the Big Shot. I also punched out some of our Brand New Punches - including the large scallop circle. I used a rhinestone also.
The Happy Birthday is stamped in rich razzleberry and is part of the curly cute stamp set. The butterfly is one of the under 10 stamps in the summer mini catalog and is really a great stamp to have.

Linda, I hope your Birthday was truly wonderful!

BRAND NEW SU! ELEGANT LINES EMBOSSING FOLDER and NEW LEVEL 1 HOSTESS SET - Punch Potpourri

I just received this new embossing folder in my SU! order. It is BRAND NEW and EXCLUSIVE to Stampin Up! called Elegant Lines. It is definitely a MUST HAVE from the NEW SU! IDEA book. It is very delicate and very nicely detailed. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to order it.

Here is what I did to create the card:

First, I embossed the so saffron card stock above using the folder. Next I added the satin ribbon. Then I stamped the butterfly from Punch Potpourri (a level 1 hostess set NEW this book) with NEW IN COLORS - peach parfait and poppy parade. The flowers are punched using the boho blossoms punch. I stamped them using poppy parade ink and then colored them in with peach parfait stampin write marker.
The sentiment is perfect on this card - Enjoy the journey! It is from the summer mini stamp set with the bicycles called Pedaling Past. The above picture shows a close up and includes a closer photo of how I added the NEW SU! rhinestones to the card as well. These rhinestones and the new pearls are certainly going to be a hit with SU! fans. As far as the Pedaling Past stamp set - I haven't really used it yet and that is my next goal. I hope to have some cards done with that set soon. It is another one of those great stamp sets that has a lot of potential. In any case, I wanted to really showcase the elegant lines embossing folder. If you look in your new Idea book, you will see a few samples and Ideas on how else you can use this embossing folder.
