Birding Elegance

I love this layout.  My friend Tricia created a card with this layout and I decided to use her inspiration and create this card using retired "in colors" and specialty papers.  The stamp set is a current Stampin' Up! Hostess set, Wings of Friendship.

I really liked how the a stamped image appeared on the specialty paper since the paper has a shine a texture.  Stampin' Up! currently has some specialty paper that would be fun to use with this layout.

Here is the inside of the card; just enough detail to complete the layout.  Thanks Tricia for a great layout. 

Happy Stamping!

Iceberg Cutie

I wanted to create a not so traditional Holiday card for a swap and used this cutie brought it all together.  All Stampin' Up! supplies used.  Paper- "incolors" melon mabo and bermuda bay  and whisper white; accessories- polka dot grosgrain ribbon and clear rhinestone brad; tools- word window punch, circle scissor plus and big shot with texturz plate. The stamp set is Cold & Cudly from the Stampin' Up! 2009 Holiday Mini.

Sponging around the circle makes this guy's ice berg really stand out.

Stay warm by stamping! 

Happy Stamping!

Winter Brrrrr.....It's Cold Out There!

Happy New Year everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted. Fall and the Holidays took over and now it is a new year. I think one of my "goals" (not resolutions) should be to post more regularly!

This is the Winter version to my previous posts. All Stampin' Up! materials, incolors and white gel pen.

Using the gel pen as an outline on the tree gives the "snow" illusion and to the touch is slightly raised. A fun and easy technique. Give it a try!




Happy Stamping 2010!
