Now You're Cookin'

Apron made with Domestic Goddess paper, Now You're Cookin' a la carte stamp, sentiment is from retired Art By Design, Bold Brights eyelets and red taffeta ribbon.
The pocket will hold a gift card.

You Are Loved

Another new set coming out in the Stampin' Up Holiday mini is called You Are Loved. It is a Valentine set but I think it will work well for many other occasions such as friendship, thinking of you, encouragement, anniversary. Quite versatile!
I used a Crumb Cake base with Soft Suede and Riding Hood Red. The main flower image was inked with Kraft and Real Red. The paper is Holly Berry Bouquet (a Christmas paper). I stamped the same floral in Saffron on one of the papers. Hand stitched with crochet lace thread (twine). Added a subtles button and taffeta ribbon. The layout is from Mojo Monday 203.

New SU! Out On A Limb

The new holiday mini begins September 1st but I will be showing some sneak peeks all this week. Some really cute stuff in this one!
One of the new Halloween sets is called Out On A Limb, I used the moon, witch, broom and pumpkin from this set. The sentiment is from Sweets for the Sweet and the frame from the hostess punch set. Delicate Doilies paper, the frame is one of these die cuts, cut to fit oval. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Doily Friend

I silver embossed the Hello Doily image on Tempting Turquoise and then added Silver Foil and Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz over the whole thing. Hard to see this in the picture because there is no sun here (again) today. Matted with Basic Gray and then Whisper White base
Sentiment is from the French version of My Friend.

Doilies Everywhere!

Today's SCS challenge honores my Paper Dolls blogging buddy Julia Aston. I cased one of Julia's cards changing the stamps to the new Stampin' Up ones.
Hello Doily in Cherry, Delicate Doilies in Night Of Navy and Crumb Cake. Metal brad in center, sentiment from My Friend set (French version). Scallop circles die cuts are non SU.

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

Faith In Nature

This is one of the new hostess selections in the Stampin' Up catalog called Faith In Nature. I kept it simple, using the new Wisteria Wonder cardstock which is my favorite new In Color. Embossed with the Tulips frame folder on base and Square Lattice on the Very Vanilla. I popped up the main image panel on dimensionals that were doubled up to really make it stand out more.

Snow Much Fun

I used 3 curvy white strips as my snowdrifts. I stamped and colored the snowman, cut it out and inserted it in one of the drifts. Pool Party and Whisper White cardstocks, Snow Much Fun stamp set.

Now You're Cookin'

This is the new Stampin' Up paper called Domestic Goddess and the Now You're Cookin' stamp. Sentiment is from the new set with the pinwheels. I took apart a popcorn holder and traced around it to make the template for this project and used the scallop edge punch at the top edge.

Kindness Matters

This is the new Kindness Matters set and Belle Chateau paper from SU. I cut out the butterflies and stamped the sentiment on the dp. Pink Pirouette and Soft Suede cardstocks. Frame tabs are from Spellbinders. The layout is from a card by Nancy Williams on SCS.

Hello Doily

New Stampin' Up order in the house! This big, beautiful doily background was my favorite new item in the catalog so I went with that first.
I embossed the doily in white on red textured cardstock. Layered with a white doily shape cut from Flirtatious specialty paper and then triple layer doily punch. Added matching red button.
Back down to my lair to make some more samples!

Delicate Doilies

I used a heavy cardstock weight vellum and embossed the doilies on it in white. Pool Party base and frame cut from new SU Pennants Sizzix die. Sentiment is from Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess set) punched with scallop circle. Taffeta ribbon in Whisper White with half pearls to complete.
I used the adhesive on the white stamped parts of the vellum to conceal the best I could. (All supplies are Stampin' Up)
