All supplies are Stampin' Up except for God Bless America sentiment which is My Sentiments exactly. New Pennant Parade set in Real Red and Pacific Point inks, Not Quite Navy, Real Red, and Basic Black cardstocks. Dp is retired SU.

Delicate Doilies

Today is my turn to host the Color Challenge over at Splitcoast. I chose Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, and Melon Mambo with a neutral of either Whisper White or Vanilla. The added dessert option is butterflies.
My card uses all Stampin' Up supplies (except for MS butterflies) and was inspired by one of the samples in the catalog. The first time I used the beveled window frames, with the Four Frames set and Style Beautiful sentiment.

Save The Date!

This card is for the Operation Write Home challenge to thank our troops. I hope you can join us to thank those who work so hard to preserve our freedom. A great project for the Fourth Of July, it would be awesome to get the whole family involved.
All supplies are Stampin' Up. New Cherish Friendship image of a bowl of cherries, colored in Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers. Sweet Centers flower petals inked with Real Red and Not Quite Navy.

I can't get enough of this new hostess set, Simply Soft. I used this today for the Splitcoast Featured Stamper challenge. A case of a card made by Claudine Poch with a few alterations. Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstocks with retired SU designer paper, red polka dot ribbon and half pearls. Red, black an white is my very favorite color combination, followed closely by pink, black, and white :)

Delicate Doilies

I love this new SU set called Delicate Doilies. I stamped it in River Rock ink on Whisper White and mixed with the Style Beautiful set for the little flourish emblem and sentiment. The center frame is a part of the new Sizzix Bigz die that also comes with pennant shapes, new in the upcoming Stampin' Up catalog.
This is the piece from Sundance catalog that inspired me:

Happiest Birthday Wishes

New SU sets Simply Soft (hostess) for flowers that were colored in Copics and Happiest Birthday Wishes for sentiment. I used just a part of the sentiment in a circle with a 1 1/4 " and 1 3/8" punch. This new birthday set is really fabulous! I love the various sentiments and fonts.

Two New Stampin' Up Sets

This is one of the new hostess sets from SU called Simply Soft (a two-step stamping set). I embossed one of the floral images in white on the vellum and colored it in with markers. The sentiment is from the new set called Happiest Birthday Wishes on the Four Frames set frame. Also used pink taffeta ribbon, half pearls, frame punch and a border punch for bottom.

New~ Snow Much Fun

I know it is early to be thinking about Christmas but I couldn't resist getting this new set from Stampin' Up called Snow Much Fun. I colored it in Copic markers, used Cherry Cobbler and Basic Gray cardstocks with Paisley Petals paper. Also used brights buttons and brads, cherry baker's twine, lattice squares embossing folder and a scallop border punch.

Elements Window Card

To create the window I punched a 1 3/8" square in the front of the Pink Pirouette cardstock. The sentiment is on the inside using a 1 1/4" whisper White square over a 1 3/8" gold square. Elements Of Style flowers and sentiment were embossed in gold. Coloring done with Copic markers. Vine image was clear embossed. This makes a quick and easy one layer card, very easy for mailing. All supplies except markers are Stampin' Up.

Sail Away on The Open Sea

I used the Stampin' Up Summer Mini sets The Open Sea and Sail Away with the Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla cardstocks. I stamped the manisfest on the card base in matching ink, stamped compass on olive in chocolate and then embossed with Lattice Squares folder. Jumbo eyelets on sides and panel stitched with Espresso baker's twine. Rounded top edges.

New SU paper and cardstock

I was going to use the new Doily stamp set for my quilt, but once I saw how these three designs from that coordinating pack looked like a baby design, I went in that direction.

Colors used for this were Craft White, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake, swiping each downward in straight stripes. The top part is Paisley Petals paper. Image colored in Copic markers, Espresso taffeta ribbon, and Nestabilities frames.
