Christmas Cocoa Friends 24-7

I love the red and pink sheets of the Christmas Cocoa specialty paper, you can use it for more than just Christmas designs. I paired it with the Friends 24-7 set and the Sizzix Birds & Blooms flower. All supplies are Stampin' Up (exept fabric button).

Friends 24-7

I used Friends 24-7 stamped in Chocolate and colored with some Apricot along with sentiment from All Holidays and pine branch from Autumn Days. Christmas Cocoa specialty paper and red polka dot riibon and Real Red brads also used. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Fifth Avenue Floral

Color combination of So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Bashful Blue. Paper is Bella Birds, Flower from Fifth Avenue Floral on Shimmer White with pumpkin, banana, and apricot re-inkers. Sizzlits Little Leaves in Bashful Blue. I used the sentiment Here For You from Friends 24-7 with the Sizzlits Lots Of Tags die (love it!!).

Friends 24-7

This has been my favorite set from this past Stampin' Up catalog, I love all of the images in it. I used the Bella Birds dsp along with So Saffron and Button Latte. Fresh Favorites brads in saffron and wide grosgrain ribbon also used. The layout was from today's sketch challenge over at SCS. I added a panel of brown behind the main image to bring out the design a bit, it looked plain and washed out without this piece.

Friends 24-7 Frame

For today's SCS challenge to use some kind of frame. I used the Friends 24-7 set stamped in Timber Brown Staz On and colored in markers. Button Bouquet buttons, copper embossing powder used along with Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom, and Brushed Copper cardstocks.
Inspired by the sample in the current SU Idea Book and Catalog.

This is for today's Featured Stamper Julie, justwritedesigns. Her gallery is filled with exquisite works of art, she is really talented. Congrats, Julie, enjoy your day!!
I used different stamps, ribbon, and embossing folder. I embossed the brocade from Friends 24-7 in gold and also the sentiment from Oval All, inked texture folder with Encore gold ink and then ran through Big Shot. Dress Up ribbon and gold brads also added. Clear embossed Always wheel on Real Red card base.

Friends 24-7 Walk In The Park

Friends 24-7 flowers colored in markers with Walk In The Park paper, my 3 embellishments were the grommets, pearls, and ribbon.

Batik Bird

This is the first time I've tried the Batik technique. Clear embossed the brocade stamp from Friends 24-7 on mulberry paper, spritzed with blue and green Glimmer Mist and then ironed off the embossing. Square ice rhinestone brads, white organza ribbon, Button Bouquet, eyelet border punch, and markers used to color bird.

Since I already had the supplies out from my earlier card I decided to do another Batik with the mulberry paper. Branch Out tree was clear embossed, spritzed with blue and green Glimmer Mists and then ironed to remove the embossing.I colored and cut out my all time favorite little SU bunnies from Spring Gifts (retired)

Friends 24-7

This is my favorite SU paper ever, it is so easy to coordinate and the card came together really fast for the 30 minute or less challenge over on SCS. No coloring, which saved time also. The paper is Parisian Breeze from SU, stamped bird in chocolate and background in Sahara Sand, stamped off once. Layout is from Mojo Monday 76 sketch.

Friends 24-7 Pillow Inspiration

I used the Friends 24-7 set, lined the flourish up with the stamp-a-majig and stamped repeatedly in More Mustard. Frames With A Flourish embossed in gold with cut out bird in center. DNC gold embroidery floss tied in center. Edges of card outlined with Zig painty pen.

Black & White Challenge

This week's Three Amigas challenge is to make a black and white card with a pop of red. I was inspired by this lampshade from hunkydoryhome.com












For the background I stamped the brocade style image stamp from the new Stampin' Up Friends 24-7 set in Versamark and then embossed it in white repeatedly to create the background. This took a bit since I had to re-position the image with the stamp-a-majig after each individual image embossing. I love the way the background came out though! The rest of the card was a snap after that. I stamped this same image in black on Whisper White, added sentiment in Real Red with a rhinestone brad from the Pretties Kit and some of the new Valet ribbon. This is SO pretty in real life. It is a ruched black velvet, it's a shame you can't see the detail of it in the photograph. This 3 pack of ribbon is a must have!
Please join us for this challenge. We call it the Three Amigas Weekly Challenge or TAWC so make sure you use the TAWC so we can find your cards in the SCS gallery.
Have a wonderful stamping week, y'all!

Friends 24-7

I love this new set, it is very Martha-kicked up a notch. I love the versatility of these stamps, you can either go elegant or all natural. Can't wait to experiment!
This card was for today's SCS Inspiration challenge. I used Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White cardstocks. I almost always use the Whisper White when I will be coloring. I have yet to find anything that works as well as this and I've tried quite a lot of them. I stamped the branches in Chocolate and colored them with markers. Bird was stamped in Baja and then cut out and placed on the flower branch.
The yummy ribbon is the new Valet that comes with 3 in the pack; a chocolate satin pin dot a ruched black velvety one and this Baja satin. ooo, purty. Pretties Kit pearls added to the side.
