Four Seasons - Summer

I wanted to use the stamp set Branch Out and create four seasons. Today I created Summer. Using all Stampin' Up! products: paper and ink-Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede. I roughed up the edge of the Old Olive layer, stamped color on color for the Rich Razzleberry layer and stamped the design on Very Vanilla.







The button adds a bit of texture and the ribbon; well that isn't ribbon, I distressed a thin piece of paper!










On the inside of the card, I used a piece of very vanilla and stamped in the corner.


The next season will be Fall.


Happy Stamping!

Celebrate New Stampin' Up! "In Colors

What fun and bright colors!

This is my swap for my next demonstrator meeting.

And what do you do when you make extra flowers?

Well you create a new format!

Happy Stamping!

Card for the man!

This is the first time I have used this stamp set that has been retired for at least a year or two. Artifacts by Stampin' Up! I really like this set, it travels with me on my stamping retreats, I pull it out when I am in a stamping mood; but it hasn't been used until now.

I had a request for masculine cards and knew this was the set to use. All products are Stampin' Up! colors/paper (basic black, more mustard, bravo burgandy, kraft). I have more ideas in mind and will post soon.

Happy Stamping!
