SU! BEAUTIFUL BUNCH

I love this stamp set called BEAUTIFUL BUNCH by SU!  Well, truth be told, I love all of the flower stamps and dies and matching framelits and any coordinating thinlets or punches.  Yesterday, some of the stampin sistah's and craftin' friends met to share a fun day at our friend Cathy's home. We had 7 projects to do and then I shared some samples.  I'll be sharing the projects over the next week but here's one of the samples I showed.  It uses the BEAUTIFUL BUNCH stamp set which has a coordinating punch to stamp out the large blossoms and a punch to punch out the small blossoms.  I also showcased the brick wall embossing folder by SU! which I really like.  The sentiment and the inside of the card are from the SU! HOSTESS set called BEST THOUGHTS.

 The centers of the blossoms are SU! adhesive backed pearls 

that I colored chocolate chip with my blendabilities.  

You could use a brownor other colored sharpie or another alcohol based marker to color.

The butterfly on the inside would be really pretty colored in.

ANOTHER THANKS A LATTE MY PAPER PUMPKIN

As many of you know, I'm a huge My Paper Pumpkin fan.  My Paper Pumpkin is a monthly program that comes from SU! It's a red box of crafting goodness and happiness.  It has grown over the last several months to be more than spectacular.  I pay about $15 a month for the kit and it comes with an EXCLUSIVE stamp set, ink spots, adhesive, and all of the contents to make some great projects. Last month - the kit featured a coffee/tea/soup mug.  I've also seen stampers create craft mugs and planters on paper from the kit.  When all of the craft contents are completed, there is still the stamp set and the ink spot or spots and many times left over embellishments to create with.  I really dig coffee and tea, so I created this coffee mug Thanks card using some of my other craft supplies.  I also stamped using the THANKS from the Watercolor Wishes SU! kit.
Enjoy!

SU! OVER THE RAINBOW

When I saw this stamp set for the first time in the catalog I thought it was just cute and probably great for someone with children or for teachers.  Then I started to see a lot of samples done with it and so I went back to the main idea book by SU! and looked at the stamp set more closely.  I immediately fell in love with the sentiments and I quickly put the set on my purchase list.  Here's one of many creations I have already made with OVER THE RAINBOW by SU!

I painted the rainbow in the words with the in color inks and then stamped the rainbow below.  I have tons of fine MS glitter and applied it to each color individually.

I made this card for my friend MJ.  I like making cards for my friends who who need pick me ups during trying times.  I send them a card a week or every other week to keep them in thought.  I always pray for my friends as I make the cards.

A VISIT TO AC - DIGITAL PAGE

I wanted to play with My Digital Studio again and sit at my computer and just enjoy some photos of my summer vacation.  I used MDS by SU! to create this page. My sister and I visited the Jersey Shore and one of our shore points was Atlantic City. Although SU! is no longer carrying MDS, I can still use it and so can you.  If you own the program it's yours to keep playing with and designing with.  Have fun!

REMEMBERING THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL - ELVIS PRESLEY

Today is the 38th year since Elvis Presley's untimely passing away.  In honor of the KING, I created this card to send to my mother and my sister Teresa, who are huge Elvis Presley fans. 

 

 I purchased these off of a website that used to sell Elvis stamps.  

If you are interested in stamps featuring Elvis Presley you should google that topic to see if you can still find any.  

I'm sure with his popularity, there are still companies producing his images and images from Graceland.

This entire past week, Graceland in Tennessee has been having many memorial services and even had a commemorative service for the latest FOREVER stamp that features Elvis Presley (you can see a video here).  It's been an amazing week for an amazing human being.  LONG LIVE THE KING!

Here are some screenshots from the candle light service I watched on the internet last evening at Graceland.  They let everyone bring cameras into the service and people were able to tour the grounds.  I have never been but I hear it is absolutely breathtaking. I'll have to make a stop when I visit my other sister Christina who now lives in Tennessee.

 

 

 

 

I love all of these precious memories.  I'm sure if you went to the website you could probably watch the live stream again.  I especially love the photo of Elvis' grand daughter lighting some one's candle.
