Circut and Butterflies


This is a favorite layout. Instead of using scallop circle die with the Big Shot, I cut some scallop circles with the Circut. The paper is retired Stampin' Up! 2007 "in colors" and the stamp set is current Stampin' Up! Flight of the Butterfly and the ribbon is also Stampin' Up! white taffeta.
Happy Stamping!

More Manhattan Flower Impressions




These impressions using the Manhattan Flower impression plate with the Big Shot, were created using a copper and blue shimmer paper. Again, the result is WOW!

More Fifth Avenue Floral


Here are some more!






Creating With Fifth Avenue Floral

Set yourself up with a three color combination and a stamp set.

Pick your base and layer and stamp a background on the third color.

Now for the real fun...get out fibers and embelishments that you always say your going to use, but never do. Start decorating your cards!

This is a great way to get your creative energy flowing.





Watch for more posts!



I just noticed......

I have over 200 views! Thanks for visiting and come back for more!

Wilson Card club

Sharon invited me to Wilson Card Club to demonstrate Stampin' Up! Big Shot and the Manhattan Flower textured impression plate. It was alot of fun to see everyone again and have fun sharing this card and technique. This group is very creative and fun to be around! The card above was created using all Stampin' Up! supplies: paper-Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Whisper White; ribbon-white taffeta ribbon. Run the Whisper White cardstock through the Manhattan Flower textured impression plate and viola' - an elegant, simple card.
The card below uses the same colors and technique, however, I stamped the card using Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set on Whisper White cardstock BEFORE running the paper through the impression plate.
I am stamping today and will have more to share...check back later!

A happy day is stamping all day!

Sweet Treats



I decorated this circular tin (a caribou cocoa tin) and filled it with my friend's favorite treats. Pink and Green are one of her favorite color combinations and one of her favorite treats are smarties. Using all Stampin' Up! products: DSP paper, old olive ribbon, pretties kit flower, clear button and rhinestone brad....viola'; an instant gift.
So save those tins and start stamping and decorating today!
