Pennant Parade

Stampin' Up's Pennant Parade (with matching punch) in Poppy, Pumpkin, Daffodil, Wasabi, and Pacific Point. Happy Everything sentiment. Black and white twine stitched accents.

Balloon Ornaments

Using the hot air balloon in the Up, Up, and Away set, I stamped them upside down and made them Christmas ornaments instead. This looks so cool in real life with the hanging "icicles" whih I made from this image using the new My Friend set. Embossed it in silver and then used Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds, it looks like a glass bubble. Hard to get a picture here today with no sunshine.
For the hanger and line I embossed the bottom of the balloon basket and drew a straight line up with my Versamark pen, embossed in gold.
Lovely As A Tree in Olive and Artichoke, sentiment in Cherry Cobbler is from Christmas Greetings.
Ornaments stamped in Eggplant, Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria WOnder, and Poppy Parade.

Up, Up and Away

I wanted to do something a little bit different with this set so I used the hot air balloon image to make my flower. The stem is from Sweets For The Sweet (the lollipop stick). All supplies are Stampin' Up. Inks are Turquoise, Poppy and Olive.

Apple Blossoms

This is a new to me hostess set but getting ready to retire at the end of the month, it is called Apple Blossoms. I don't know how this set got by me when choosing my selections before, I really like it!
I used the old set of In Colors~ Razzleberry, Curry, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede markers to color the leaves. Matting is Soft Suede on a Whisper White base.

Simply Soft

This is another new set coming up in the new Stampin' Up catalog, a hostess offering called Simply Soft. Clean and simple card on Whisper White with taffeta ribbon and hello sentiment from the new Pennant Parade.

Delicate Doilies

Delicate Doilies is another new Stampin' Up set soon to be available with the July catalog.
All supplies are Stampin' Up. Inks: Razzleberry and River Rock, stamps sets Delicate Doilies, Itty Bitty Bits, and Style Beautiful. I had to add a razzleberry button near the sentiment since I smudged the ink :) This is a case of a card by Vicki Dutcher, today's Queen for the Day at SCS.

Ruffled Ribbon Thanks

For today's Splitcoaststamper's Clean and Simple challenge to ruffle some ribbon. I ran a strip of sticky tape across the top, laying down ribbon and looping every little bit, tacking down each loop with glue dots.
All supplies are Stampin' Up:
Whisper White cardstock stamped with Bold Blossom in Old Olive, Pumpkin, Daffodil, Poppy Parade, and Melon Mambo. Daffodil taffeta ribbon.

Live, Laugh, and Love

For today's CAS sketch I used all Stampin' Up supplies. The base is White, then Apricot with the French Filigree in matching ink. White Swiss Dots embossed over that. Fifth Avenue Floral with On Your Birthday sentiment stamp sets.

Pick A Petal Medallion

I love combining stamp sets. For this Clean and Simple challenge today, the mission was to do a 3D flower birthday card. I embossed the Medallion stamp in white on the Very Vanilla cardstock, Pick A Petal flower on Creamy Caramel also white embossed and cut out and layered. The center is a vintage brad. Matting is Crumb Cake with the base of Very Vanilla. Birthday sentiment is from Teeny Tiny wishes. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

and Warm Glitter Mittens

I used retired SU paper Ski Slope, textured Whisper White cardstock and the sentiment from It's Snow Time in Real Red. Mittens and baker's twine from Impress. Pinking Hearts border punch by Stampin' Up. A clean and simple 10 minute card.

Punch Potpourri

I love this level 1 hostess set by Stampin' Up called Punch Potpourri. All of the stamps coordinate with the punches they have. I colored the hearts in various colored markers and edges in Apricot Appeal ink. Build a Brad center with the flower only from the same heart image.

Medallion Day Of Gratitude

For this one layer card I combined the Medallion stamp in So Saffron and the new Day Of Gratitude stamp over top. This one was stamped using Ruby Red, Olive, Orange and Saffron. Sentiment stamped in Dusty Durango.

For Everything

A one layer thank you, fits a check size envelope.
I used the For Everything set by Stampin' Up in Old Olive, poppy, Basful Blue and Pacific Point on Whisper White base. Daffodil flower centers punched from Itty Bitty punch with half pearls.

Country Birdhouses

A simple one layer card colored in Copic markers, stamp is a very old one by Stampendous.
Off to Seattle to play for the day!

Sweet Treats Shamrock

For Monday's Clean And Simple makeover challenge, I chose the bottom card from last year and made it over, still using the Always heart in Garden Green, textured embossing with the Texturz plate, and the Sweet Treats cups.

Garden Collage

A very quick and easy card.
Today's Clean and Simple Challenge was to make a sympathy card. I went with white on white and the embossing folder Elegant Bouquet. The Garden Collage bird image was colored with markers and shaded with pastel chalks. White satin ribbon also added.
All supplies are Stampin' Up except for scallop rectangle frame.

Nature Silhouettes

Blended Crushed Curry and Dust Durango for background on Whisper White, tree in Basic Brown and deer in Soft Suede. Chocolate and Pumpkin grosgrain ribbon with Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for sentiment. The White background was embossed with the texturz plate Perfect Details.

Medallion

The Medallion was embossed in white on a brayered piece of glossy cardstock (mixed colors of teal and celery). Whisper White card base that was edged with eyelet border punch.

Choo Choo Right On Track

Whisper White card base with the Right On Track wheel embossed in silver. Train with matching cardstock in Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo.
