Calvery Church Colors

We went to a Church we have never been to. Our oldest son is planning to move to Jonesboro AR and has started going to church there. So we went with him last night and really liked it ( We attend church here in our own town). It was so nice, felt so good and I was looking around at the church and the color really impressed me. Then I keep looking and turned to my husband and said ( it's Perfert Plum, River Rock and Very Vanilla). It really is, so I came home and put the colors together and this is what I came up with. We will be painting our house this coming year and I plan on using all Stampin Up Colors. Wish me luck For this card I used Four the Holidays Stamp Set and card stock is Perfect Plum, River Rock and Very Vanilla also I used Perfect Plum ink. I used the Eyelet Border Punch and added Very Vanilla Ribbon and Pearls. Have a Great Day

Frame Fold Card

The Snowman is from our new set A Cute Christmas. I just wanted to play with this so I'm using my old retired DSP and card stock. Will be doing this a lot while designing new cards, saving my current papers for the cards after I come up with something that I think is a keeper Hope You Like it. Have A Great Day.

The wreath is made with a MS punch and items are healt together by Stampin Up. The rest is Stampin Up punches. HAVE A GREAT DAY

Halloween Pumpkins

My first Halloween card this year. Yes for you who don't know there are green and white striped pumpkins, we use only them for our pumpkin pies. My Grandmother called all orange pumpkins hog pumpkins (except the tiny little sugar pie pumpkins) Grand Dad raised the orange pumpkins to keep during the winter to feed the hogs. He keep them in the shed in a big pile of straw, and he loved to take us kids out to show us his hog feed ( Grand father was really great with us kids, I still miss him and it's been 37 years). For this card I used Autumn Harvest stamp set, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, and Bravo Burgundy card stock. I used the Pumpkin Pie ink on the tag I off stamped it twice on scrap paper then on the tag. For the Pumpkins I stamped them in Basic Black then used the Water Color Pencils and the Blender Pens. I added one orange and two black brads, forgot till I had taken the picture that I wanted to add Shimmer Paint Champagne Mist to my card. Hope you like it and HAVE A GREAT DAY.

This is the Snowflake Card from the Christmas in July Class that we didn't get to go to as we were at convention 2010. We bought the sets of everything from our up line, Sandy Risi. The card stock is Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant, also water color paper. We used Watercolor Crayons and Aqua Painters. Silver Ink and Silver Embossing Powder. The stamp set is Snow Swirled.

Faux Mother of Pearl Background

Still do not have my light right or maybe my setting on my camera . I used Of the Earth stamp set (yes I know it's out of date but didn't have a set to do what I wanted to do that was current). The card stock is Glossy White, Regal Rose, and Pacific Point. I used Jet Black StazOn ink and Frost White Shimmer Paint. Also I sponged on Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, and Certainly Celery ink on the Glossy White card stock. I used the pinking hearts punches and added white ribbon that I colored with Pretty in Pink ink and a Pearl. HAVE A GREAT DAY

O.K. the flower box I got in a swap at convention.There was nothing telling me how to put it together, this is all I could think to do with it. I had to make a ribbon flower to cover the big hole that was cut in the flower and the leaves. Does anyone know how to put it together, if so please let me know. I also made the strawberries today out of Real Red and Wild Wasabi card stock and some tiny ribbon I had left over from no telling when. I used the Big Shot and the Flower Folds Extra Long Die also the 5 petal punch for the leaves. Have a great DAY.

Oak Leaves

Autumn Leaves

I'm trying things that are new to me, maybe old to you. This is the Faux Mother of Pearl card I wanted to try, also I'm going to be using the stamps I bought and have never used. This should be lots of fun. I used Autumn Splendor and Dreams du Jour stamp sets. Now I'll put them aside until I use some more new sets that are begging to be used (I feel sorry for them). I used Sahara Sand, Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, and Glossy White card stock. Too make the Faux Mother of Pearl I used Frost White Shimmer Paint. Ink is Jet Black StazOn and I used Soft Suede, Cho. Chip,Cajun Craze, and Always Artichoke Markers. I have to get better lighting my pic are not turning out right and I tried a different place to day. Have a Great Day

Antique Card

Well if a little helps I always use too much. Always I try another dab too make it better until I get too much. I was trying for an antique card here. I used the Because I Care set, with Whisper White, Old Olive, and Regal Rose card stock. The ink is Sahara Sand and Soft Suede, also Regal Rose, Old Olive, Cho Chip and Pretty in Pink Pastels. Well let me know what I should have done to make it better. I'm at a lost here for ideas on this card it's just not quite what I wanted. I'll try again later after I've had time to think. Got a Grand daughter coming and have to get ready for that.

Couldn't get the picture just right guess my lighting is all wrong today. Well I'm finding that I like Marina Mist a whole lot. Yes this is Marina Mist and Whisper White card stock. I didn't get my shadow to show up enough but If I try any more I will mess up my card. I used Sahara Sand and Soft Suede ink pads I also played around with the pastels and I used gold and black brads.

Music Box Album

This is a 4" cube that I'm making into an album for a very dear friend for Christmas. I still have to get her grand kids pics to put in it. It is made so there are 9 flat 4" x4" places for pics + a music bottom in the bottom of the box. I'm using Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, and Wild Wasabi card stock. Pretty in Pink sponged of the flower and Garden Green marker on the Wild Wasabi. The ribbon matches the pink on the flower. I used the Ornament Punch for making the flower. Hope you like it.

More buttons out of card stock just to show some more ways to make pretty buttons out of card stock. Stamp on them add another cut piece on top, anything and any color is O.K.

Buttons

Buttons can be made out of card stock, any shape, design, or color. Just cut out 5 buttons and glue them together then cover them with Chrystal Effects and let them dry. Presto you now have buttons that will match you project.

Bleached Card #2

This is like the last card ( Out of the Idea Book) except I cut it down and put it on Very Vanilla card stock. what do you think.

This is out of the Idea Book & Catalog 2010-2011. We had to pick out a card in the Idea book for our group swap this time and this was the card I picked out to make. The card stock is Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, and Very Vanilla. The ink pad and marker are Wild Wasabi. Ribbon is 5/8" satin Very Vanilla.

1/2" x 2" Pine Cone Charm

This Charm was for a Simply Adorned swap at Convention this year. I used Bashful Blue card stock. Stamp sets are Autum Days, and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I also used Old Olive, Cho. Chip markers and a White Gel Pen also a Versa Mark Pen (VersaMarker from Stampin Up) Heat and Stick Powder and Iridescent Ice glitter. I stamped my design on the card stock then used the white gel pen to draw on the snow after that I used the VersaMarker to draw on places that I wanted the sparkle on the snow while the VersaMarker is still damp I poured the Heat & Stick powder on, used the Heat Gun to melt the powder then quickly added the Iridescent Ice glitter.

I added a Jewel ( Basic Rhinestones).
