MARIA'S CARD SHARE - SU! BUILD A BIRTHDAY! AND CHECK OUT THIS MONTH'S MPP VIDEO

I must admit that I somewhat cased this card from a card on Pinterest.  I saw this done in mostly PINK colors and decided to make my own version of it.  I have two below.  This is the card that I shared with our Stampin Sistah's and Craftin Friends last Saturday.  I just love this NEW stamp set by SU! that's called BUILD A BIRTHDAY and I have seen a lot of cool things done with this card.  You can use the rectangles as part of the layers of the cake or even as candles.  I even saw them used to do the cityscape and skyline.  This is an amazing stamp set and very cool and NEW for SU!
 
The BIRTHDAY WISHES sentiment is from the BUILD A BIRTHDAY stamp set but the CELEBRATE and the other sentiments on the other cards are from MY PAPER PUMPKIN from May and June of this year.
The flowers on the inside of this card are stamped using BLUSHING BRIDE ink and are also part of the JUNE My Paper Pumpkin stamp set.
I used SILVER DAZZLING DETAILS for the centers of the blossoms and on the cake stand.  I love highlighting my cards.  The first card at the top of the post has SU! crystal effects and SU! dazzling diamonds glitter for the icing.  Yummy!

The sentiment inside this card is from the MAY My Paper Pumpkin.  The sentiment comes with the Pumpkin kit.  Did you know that you get a stamp set and an ink spot as well as everything you need to complete your projects with MY PAPER PUMPKIN?  I love how I can use all the leftovers and the stamps and ink spot over and over again. Sign up HERE today.

Check out the JUNE MY PAPER PUMPKIN kit below.

SU! CARDS FROM STAMPIN SISTAH'S GATHERING LAST SATURDAY! CAN YOU SAY WOW?

So the Stampin Sistah's Anniversary is here.  I wanted to share some of the gorgeous cards that we made this past Saturday when we gathered for another fun crafting event.  All cards are SU!

This first card was shared by Linda Kincaid.  I really love the colors and the mesh fish rope was a great addition.  Notice that my fish has crystal effects.  Great card Linda. I also love the crushed curry embossing powder.  Very creative way to use it.

 
 
The second card was shared by Cindy Geskey.  She says she cased it from Pinterest. What a gorgeous card using the SU! stamp set WORK OF ART. It's one of my absolute favorite sets that can complement any project.
I love the punched out stamped butterflies and the embossing with the larger dots using SU! embossing folder and the BIG SHOT.
All of Cindy's cards are notable for the fact that there is always something stamped or added to the inside portion of the card. This is uniquely Cindy!

I'll post the card I shared tomorrow.  I used BUILD A BIRTHDAY, which is a BRAND NEW Stamp set from SU! with the NEW CATALOG that was just published.

ADORABLE BABY CARD SU!

Back at the end of April my upline Janet Wakeland challenged the team to come up with some new designs for older templates.  This baby card is an older template. I updated it by using newer card stock, inks and stamps.  I love the added button to the front of the rocking horse. That was an adorable embellishment from my crafting stash.  I also embossed the little tee shirt with a SU! lattice embossing folder.  We didn't have those back then when this template first came out which I think was close to 10 or 15 years ago.

MY MEMORIES SUITE IS PRETTY COOL! DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK PAGE

I replaced SU! My Digital Studio with My Memories Suite 6 which I absolutely love.  The digital pages are much more like Adobe Photoshop.  I'm having a lot of fun creating digitally, which is my favorite way to scrapbook these days (although I'll admit I still love mini books and I really love SU! Project Life).  If you want quick scrapbooking and crafting, this is an awesome program. 


Here I created a page featuring JP on the boat in Marco Island, Florida 3 years ago. We went dolphin watching and shelling and had a marvelous time.

By the way, all of the MDS stamp brushes, papers, embellishments, etc. work in this program.  In fact, I used World Traveler Stamp brushes from SU! on this project.

OH MY GOODIES! SU! MINI TREAT BAG

How many of you are making favors for parties, weddings, showers and other fun summer events?  Still have a few teacher thank you's left?  Here's a great idea - make a MINI TREAT BAG using the MINI TREAT BAG thinlits from SU!  This adorable gift bag hold anything from delightful chocolate to gift cards to book marks to mini treats and even money!  Who wouldn't want to receive one of these?  I used the stamp set OH MY GOODIES from SU! and some designer paper.  This is such a must have thinlits set because there are so many great pieces you get for the price.  You can make more than just the gift bag.  I also used the deco labels framelits by SU! and they coordinate with the stamp set.



Window sheeting is perfect to go behind the die cut and then nothing falls out of the treat bag.  Use glue dots to adhere the sheeting.

Look at all you get with this thinlits set.
 
Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies 137547
Price: $40.00

Create your own mini treat bags, as many as you want, in the colors and patterns you want, with Thinlits dies and the Big Shot. Thinlits Dies help you create detailed die-cuts with just a few turns of the Big Shot handle.

* 12 dies
* Finished bag size: 3-11/16" x 5-1/4"
* Use with Big Shot

Oh My Goodies Clear-Mount Stamp Set 134090

Oh my goodies, look at the tags you can make! One set gives you options for all occasions. Cut with coordinating dies to make tag creation extra easy.

Our clear-mount stamps are made of the same high-quality red rubber as our wood-mount stamps, but they're repositionable. They're precut and ready to go. Temporarily mount these stamps on clear blocks for stamping, then remove them for space-saving storage. You'll only need one set of blocks for all your clear-mount stamps (blocks sold separately). Our premium red rubber will last for years and give a superior stamped impression each time. The stamps come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference.

Suggested clear block (sold separately): d

BE THE STAR SU!

I saw a Christmas Card done with the BE THE STAR stamp set from SU! and had to purchase this set I'm so glad I did because it's perfect for so many occasions, like today - which is Father's Day - and of course birthdays and congratulations and just so many awesome events.  This card I made up at Jan's last team event.  I used the STAR framelits by SU! and also the NEW MINI TREAT BAG thinlets to die cut the banners with the tiny stars.  I'm not sure you can tell but I also have a mini glimmer paper star to the right of  ROCK STAR and then on top of that is a clear acrylic star also by SU!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the dad's, grand dad's, godfather's, uncles, and great men in all of our lives.

JUNE MY PAPER PUMPKIN ARRIVED AND I JUST HAD TO START CREATING!

When I got home yesterday after a late work day, I saw the Red SU! MY PAPER PUMPKIN box on my counter.  Woo Hoo!  Just what I needed - a good dose of crafting. This month's MPP is AWESOME!  I was so surprised with the contents. There are 2 different really cool card styles this month with neat envelopes and great liners.  I needed a few THINKING OF YOU and a few THANK YOU cards so I got crafting.  AWESOME!

I focused on one of the card designs and varied it.  Now when I get home tonight I can work on the other design.




 I absolutely love these colors and I love the liners for the envelopes.  These envelopes were a little different in weight than the usual SU! envelopes. They were definitely heavier - even without the liner.  I really like that SU! tries new things and that the cost of these kits are so reasonable.  The unique SU! stamps and the ink spots alone are worth the price.  The ink spot was Tip Top Taupe - one of the NEW IN COLORS.  I love these spots. They are very convenient to use.

 In the above card I used the new thin silver thread that SU! is now carrying in the NEW SU! Catalog.  It also comes in gold. I decided to try the silver and guess what - I LOVE IT. It actually came in a very large spool, like taller than 2 spools of thread on top of each other!
