Garden of the Heart for Mom

I got some NEW toys today!! Also, one of my customers/friends just order the new Garden of the Heart Stamp Set & told me that I could play with it before I give it to her tomorrow. So I thought I would make her a card sample. I found one almost the same as this made by Michelle Reynolds (another SU Demonstrator) over on the new Stampin' UP! Demonstrator website called Stampin' Connection. I did change the ribbon & sentiment & also added some sparkle to the ribbon on the hat. Here is how it was made:

Started with So Saffron Cardstock. Ran this through the Big Shot with my NEW Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder, leaving about 1-1/2" un-texturized at the bottom of the 1/4 sheet. Then I stamped the "Wonderful Mother" from the Occasions Mini Catalog Stamp Set called Well Scripted, using Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. Then I tied this Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon around into a know. Next I stamped the hat/bonnet from the Occasions Mini Catalog stamp set called Garden from the Heart with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I colored the ribbon & flowers with So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker. The leaves & stems were colored with the Old Olive Stampin' Write marker. I then cut out the image with my Paper Snips and popped it up on the card with the Pop-Up Glue Dots. I also added Dazzling Diamonds to the ribbon on the hat/bonnet.

Hope you like it! Thanks, Michelle for the great sample!!

Congrats from the Forest Friends

I found another SU Demo/Blogger that has a Sketch Challenge. I thought I'd play along. I was feeling inspired by her sample on her blog the called the Techno Stamper.

I started with Chocolate Chip Cardstock.

Layered Certainly Celery Cardstock.

Stamped "Congratulations" from the new stamp set called Well Scripted that is available in the SU Occasions Mini Catalog.

Then I ran a piece of Chocolate Chip Cardstock through the Big Shot using the Perfect Setting Die.

Next I ran a piece of Certainly Celery DSP through the Perfect Setting Die Cut.

I layered the Certainly Celery DSP paper onto the cut piece of Chocolate Chip Cardstock matching up the scalloped edges.

Then I cut a small piece of Chocolate Chip Carstock to layer behind the Certainly Celery DSP paper.

Next I attached this to the card front.

I punched out 3 of the Scalloped Square using Chocolate Chip Cardstock.

Attached these to the card front.

Stamped the Forest Friends using Certainly Celery & Chocolate Chip Classic Inks.

Attached these to the card front.

The picture looks a little dull but I think it turned out SUPER CUTE!! I would LOVE to hear what you think of it!
