Spring Retreat - Builder Birdcage

Aren't these little birds just the cutest? The Builder Birdcage stamp set is super flexible and super cute! This first card I made for someone who let me constantly borrow her Cuttlebug machine since I was traveling. I did bring my own plates and luckily she was very sweet to let me borrow her machine - thanks Nancy!

Her daughter was clearing out her paper stash, so the envelope flap was covered in one of those papers I picked up for cheap and since I was hand delivering it to her, it was safe to cover just the back flap. The color combo I used was Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo and then I embossed the card front after stamping with the Tufted embossing folder.

~Enjoy!

I CASEd myself from the Day by Day challenge with the eggs all lined up. I lined up these cute birdies in Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake. The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake and cut with the Decorative Label punch.

I CASEd the background from Pinterest for this one and switched up the colors and then waited until I got home to add all the additional layers of the bird cage and the sprigs. Super cute, this one ended up going to my friend Louise for her birthday! I used Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Powder Pink. The birdcage was an old die I have had for years and the sprigs are from Flourish Thinlits and Bouquet Bunch Thinlits.

Spring Retreat - Wonderful Romance

I borrowed the Wonderful Romance & Wonderful Floral bundle from my friend Shannon to create these beauties below!

~Enjoy!

This one was CASEd from Pinterest & I loved it so much I decided to make it in additional colors below! This one is in Blackberry Bliss - one of my all-time favorite colors!

My friend Diane who was at the retreat was selling off a ton of paper and this one reminded me so much of the paper from Floral Romance DSP, so I snathced it up & with a little help from Pinterest created this one.

This is another version of the one above this time made with Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana.

One last one with Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.

Spring Retreat - Simply Sketched

I simply fell in love with Simply Sketched that I borrowed from my friend Shannon. Most of these are CASEd from Pinterest, but I love how beautiful every card turned out!

~Enjoy!

My friend Shannon has a ribbon scrap box with all kinds of unique ribbons from past years and she only has these tiny scraps leftover in the box. Luckily she had this beautiful striped velvet that matched this card perfectly, here is the inspiration card from Pinterest.

Here is the inspiration card, I substituted out what I had on hand while traveling. I just adore the colors of this card and its simplicity.

I loved the doily background of the inspiration card, but since I did not have that I used some mottled blue background that I brought with me and an oval die to frame the bird. The leaves are from the Wonderful Floral Thinlits die set.

I was having so much fun with the Simply Sketched set, I had to make an original using the blue & brown cards above as inspiration! This card uses Berry Burst as the background embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.

Special Delivery from the North Pole

The November 2018 Paper Pumpkin was really cute including the plaid envelopes they provided! Well - I could not let all of the cuteness go to waste - so I had to cut apart the envelope to utilize the cute plaid within. When I did that, there was this weird extra triangular piece left over and try as I might - every time I used it it sill ended up looking like an envelope - so I gave in & said - let me just make an envelope AS the card. So I went off to my stash to find an across the miles type sentiment & came across the Special Delivery from the North Pole - perfect!!! This is a typical A2 top fold card.

The card front is made from 2 pieces of the leftover cut apart envelope. I highlighted the seam of the envelope with a marker to get more of the point across that it is an envelope and mounted that on the enclosed card base in the Paper Pumpkin kit..

~Enjoy

Don't forget the value of first impressions! When a receiver gets your snail mail they will be instantly delighted if the outside of the envelope is a little jazzier - don't forget to decorate your envelopes both front & back! And the insides too!

Stampin' Up! Convention Swap #2

Season's Greetings

Stampin' Up! hosted it's 30th year birthday convention in Orlando in November. It was said that there would be up to 10,000 people there from every corner of the globe, so I just had to make some swaps! Here is the process for the second set of 100.

This card was so fun to make, it has lots of technique and that is always what I try to provide at a swap. The background it doused with starbursts from the Night in Bethlehem set. Then a layer of corrugated cardstock. The sentiment layer is made with the Snowflake Sentiments set and edged with a good dosing of shimmer paste and a trusty popsicle stick. Topping it off with rhinestones and a flashy ribbon made it all come together!

At the end of every year - I try to start downsizing my stash of In-Colors that will be leaving with in the next 6 months. Last year I used it for my New Years cards - this year I decided to use it for my second set of 100 swaps, so here they are!
~Enjoy
