Recycled packaging

The base is Stampin' Up's Naturals Ivory with Apothecary Art stamp set, various ribbon including white taffeta, vanilla velvet, and Beachfront rick rack (retired). The recycled part is the vintage image which was from a package of Melissa Frances pearls. The crocheted flower is a vintage one from the 1940's with a filigree brad.

Bliss

Stampin' Up Sale-a-bration is right around the corner, beginning January 25th! This is one of the sets called Bliss. I used Basic and Going Gray, Poppy and Whisper White cardstocks. Poppy and Going Gray inks. Embossing folders are Framed Tulips and Finial Press. All supplies used are Stampin' Up.

Plum Poinsettias

This week's Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, and Baja Breeze with your choice of a neutral. The dessert option is to add a pennant/banner if that is something you would like to try.
My card used Stampin' Up supplies of the above cardstocks with the holly bough stamped in matching ink on the Plum, retired Autumn something paper, white taffeta ribbon and coloring in markers. I don't know if there is such a thing as purple poinsettias but I wanted to make a Christmas card with something current for this challenge. Pear frame is the Lacy Square Nestabilities.

Vintage Bells & Boughs

For a vintage looking Christmas card I used the new Deck The Halls paper and Bells & Boughs stamp set by Stampin' Up. Shaded image in chalk pastels.
Artichoke (card base) and True Thyme was used for the Music Notes wheel and the shaded edges. Riding Hood Red for matting. Chantilly Lace and half pearl for embellishing. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Another for the challenge going on at SCS.
For the something old~ Yuletide Montage Santa
something new~ Deck The Halls designer paper and Cherry Cobbler ribbon.

French Fresh Cuts

I combined a few Stampin' Up sets for this card. The background is En Francais embossed in clear on Blushing Bride. Tag image is Fresh Cuts with Artistic Etchings for the Eiffel Tower and Post Card sentiment from Winter Post. Shaded areas with the chalk pastels. All supplies used are Stampin' Up.

Notably Ornate

All supplies (except stick pin and pearls) are Stampin' Up.
I was so torn about which side of the designer paper I wanted to use today. Don't you hate it when BOTH sides are your favorite designs in the pack :) Love Letter designer paper with Basic Black cardstock. Entire card was wheeled with Music Notes in Versamark and an antique brad was added. Stick pin and pearls was attached to a paper flower I made out of the Newsprint designer paper. The bird was stamped in Riding Hood Red, part of the design from the label stamp was stamped over this in black, then cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

Notably Ornate

All new Stampin' Up supplies used.
Love Letter designer paper with Basic Black and Very Vanilla. New vintage brads, Top Note die, Riding Hood Red ink.

Notably Ornate

Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red, and Crumb Cake along with Love Letter paper and Notably Ornate stamp set and new Punch Potpourri stamp sets. I kissed the bird image with the scrolled frame stamp and I love the way that came out. All new SU goodies used on this card! This is another stop on the new Color Coach challenge I am trying. Love the Crumb Cake, NQN and RHR together. Sketch by Friday Sketchers.

Adieu Parisian Breeze

This is the very last scrap of my Parisian Breeze paper and I love the way it looks with the new upcoming set Artistic Etchings. This was for the weekend's Featured Stamper challenge, the paper and layout was cased from LeAnne Pugliese.
All supplies are Stampin' Up except for Basic Grey brad in flower center.

Pedaling Past

This is a fun new set from Stampin' Up called Pedaling Past.
I used Basic Grey? Kissing Kate paper because I love the old fashioned, rustic look of it, just what I had in mind for this set. The crocheted flower is from the 1940's that I found on ebay. The detail on this is amazing, someone had a lot of talent to crochet this finely. The main image is done using the cracked glass technique to make it look older. Maybe I am becoming vintage myself since my sister had a bicycle just like the one in this set!
