Lemon Zest

I ordered this stamp and punch set months ago.  I finally got around to playing with it.  This card came together really fast.  I had no idea what I was going to create, but I knew I wanted something fun.  The saying for this card just cracks me up.  I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.

Lovely Friends #1

I ordered some goodies from the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I have finally found some time to create and share with you.  I love how simple this card is and yet how wonderful it looks.  I just love the large greetings in the Lovely Friends stamp set.  I don't usually order many of the background stamps, but this one I just had to have.  It's called Marbled and it reminds me so much of the shaving cream technique I always wanted to try, but never wanted to deal with the mess.  The Island Indigo pops off the Daffodil Delight.  I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.

Thinking of you

I started out coloring this beautiful image from Butterfly Basics with my Blendabilities.  Then the dreaded announcement came that Stampin' Up! was suspending the sale of these markers due to a quality issue from the manufacturer.  I had already colored the flower and now I had to decide what to do about the stem and leaves.  I pulled out my ink pad and my blender pen and proceeded to color it the way I did before Blendabilities were introduced.  The background paper is one of the designs from the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP.  I have one more design left to show you.

September Swaps on Facebook

For September, I am actually in 3 different swaps on Facebook.  These are the cards for 2 of my swap groups.

 In Stampin Up Friends we have a monthly theme and a sweepstakes winner chosen from the participants.  For the sweepstakes card, I used Blushing Bride and the Wildflower Meadow Bundle.  The ribbon is Pretty in Pink.  We can use retired if we need to.  The themed card is Thinking of You/Praying for You.  I went with Strawberry Slush for this card.  Just because it is a Thinking of You/Praying for You doesn't mean it has to be somber colors for me.  Sometimes a pop of color can cheer up someone who is feeling a bit down.  I used color blocking (inking up a clear block and stamping to create a background) and an image from Flowering Flourishes.

This card is for the swap group Stampin Up Addicts.  This is the first month for this swap group.  The theme is Back to School.  Retired items are allowed for this swap.  I recently purchased It's Academic.  I love this stamp set even though it is retired.  I love the way the Daffodil Delight looks when stamped on Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  It is dark enough to make a great background.


A lot of demonstrators do not keep retired stamp sets and would not purchase a set if it was retired.  I love some of the retired sets.  I make cards and sell them to people who aren't interested in making their own cards.  I do purchase retired stamp sets I like if I can get them for the right price.  I made a scrapbook for a retiring teacher and I really wish I had this set then.  You just never know what you might need for a project.
