ANOTHER JUST BELIEVE CARD

I made this card when I was visiting a friend in Atlantic City.  We had a big crafting get away and we had so much fun.  We were very productive too!  This card uses the stamp set Just Believe.  I also wanted to show that you can make a vase from the large oval punch.  You can cut either end off and make it a flower holder.   I embossed the vase and also the card and pumpkin pie scalloped accent piece with the Big Shot and SU! embossing folder.

SUNDAY SHARES

This first card was CASED by my friend Carolyn Serviss.  I love this card.  The only thing I think she changed was the sentiment.  She used the stamp set Fabulous Phrases for the words.  I love it. There are 30 words in that stamp set.  She also used the background stamp Bella Toile and the main stamp set is Studio Sketches, which is new this year. The colors used are So Saffron and Basic Gray.

I made this next card using my Circle #2 Big Shot Die.  I die cut the circle and put the circle aside.  I took the negative and sponged pumpkin pie and daffodil delight inside to make a sun.  The sentiment and the leaves are stamped in basic black from the stamp set Just Believe, which is one of the most popular SU! stamp sets.  This is a really cool way to make a sun.

PRINTED PETALS, NEW COLOR COACH, and a SAMPLE from CLASS at CAROL's

Last night our local stamping group met at the home of Carol Hartline for a fun Tropical Party and an introduction to the new catalog and Idea book by SU! One of the cards we stamped utilized the new color coach by SU! (see the previous post for info on the color coach). This card and envelope was stamped with the new stamp set called Printed Petals on our 3.5 by 5 cards and envelopes that you can buy together. I looked at my color coach to find some brand new colors from SU! that the stampers would enjoy and would make them feel happy. I found them in the New IN COLORS - poppy parade and peach parfait and a new permanent color called daffodil delight.
The New Color Coach is great because it is utilized just like the paint cards you get at the shop. I pulled these three colors out and saw that they really looked cool together. The largest flower has some peach parfait new poly ribbon and the sentiment is from the set Just Believe and is stamped in another new color called Concord Crush.
The New Color Coach is really great because it also gives some cards where you can add these combinations you like and make up yourself so that you know they go well together and can use them again. I just colored them in on the circles with my stampinwrite markers but you could alternatively punch out 1/2 inch circles from the card stock and attach them. The stampers really thought this color coach was cool and most of my stampers have ordered one already. The color coach can be unscrewed and you can add new color combos and new papers. The coach does come with color design suggestions on the back of each card so if you are not sure which colors work well together, just use the SU! suggested ones.
This is what the new stamp set looks like. What I love in this set is that the tiny flowers on the bottom left can be used with our new stamp set itty bitty bits and the new tiny buttons and punches that match it.

A FLOWER FOR ALL SEASONS AND JUST BELIEVE

I just sent this card to my sister Christina to let her know that I am thinking of her. She is such a great sister and a dear friend. I embossed some soft suede card stock with the Brand New Embossing Folder Vintage Wallpaper from SU! I love this embossing! Then I sprayed some white card stock with vanilla smooch -oooh the glimmer is amazing! Next I stamped one of the stamps from a flower for all seasons and I colored it in with stampinwrite markers.
The flowers on the inside are from the Just Believe Stamp Set which is on its way to becoming the number one stamp set sold from the new SU! idea book. Email me to find out how to get your idea book or to place an order for any of the wonderful SU! products you see here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HSIAO-HUI!

My down line Hsiao-hui is one of the sweetest people I know. I wanted to make her a very sweet birthday card. Her birthday was this past Thursday the 15th and I didn't get to see her. This card uses the brand new IN COLOR PEAR PIZZAZ as the base card stock that I embossed with the square lattice die. I love this new in color. Coordinating colors are chocolate chip and baja breeze. The ribbon is old olive satin. The sentiment is from a new hostess set entitled Occasional Quotes which was punched out with the word window punch. The dsp is greenhouse gala and it is amazing paper with some great colors. All of the card stock and even the dsp is embossed with exclusive SU! embossing folders for the Big Shot! The little butterflies are from the beautiful wings embosslit also exclusive to SU!
On the envelope I stamped flowers from fast and fabulous and shimmered them with the brand new all over smooch. The greenery is from just believe - a great new set in the SU! idea book. The happy birthday sentiment is from perfect punches - which should be a must on every one's list. Notice that I put 2 tiny rhinestones (yes these are brand new to SU!) on the swirl.

I hope Hsiao-hui that you had a great birthday. You deserve the Best! See you soon!

GREAT NEW SU! 2-STEP XL OWL PUNCH

I just pulled out this BRAND NEW XL OWL PUNCH from my box of SU! goodies and I'm so happy! This owl is really easy to punch and put together. I made these 5 above and the one on the card below in no time. There is a little paper piecing to put together, but it is so worth it. Notice how some of my owls are looking straight on and some are looking over to the others. I made a bunch of them to be used on cards, scrapbook pages, 3D gifts and more. These I actually put inside a mini envelope I die cut from the Big Shot to give to Bev Cvach. She was so nice as the hostess for the in-home workshop I did for her and her guests. I'm going to mail them to her inside the card below. I just love this little guy.
I used peach parfait card stock for the card base. Isn't it gorgeous? It's one of the NEW IN COLORS for this year. The Thank You sentiment is from curly cute.
Inside the card I stamped a sentiment from the Just Believe set. The leaves silhouette is from the same new stamp set.
