Anniversary Card

Tomorrow Doug and I will be married 27 years. Surprising how fast the years go by. I decided to make a fall themed anniversary card for him using Autumn Splendor. I hope he likes it.

Inspired By Nature

Things have been pretty hectic at our house late and didn't realize that I haven't posted much lately. Sorry about that.

Here's another card using the stamp set Inspired by Nature and the new Butterfly punch in the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog.

Autumn Splendor II

We made this card at a workshop I held at Mary's house and thought I would share with you. I love the new Designer Series Paper, Autumn Meadows and the stamp set Autumn Splendor in the Holiday Mini. We are going to use this stamp set at the November Scrapbook class.

Autumn Splendor

I have been down with a bad cold this past week. I think I caught it from my grandson. Too many hugs and kisses. Oh well, I am better today and thought I would post another card idea from the new Holiday Mini using Autumn Splendor. With the weather this past week you would think Autumn is upon us. Hopefully not!!

I think this is a great set for fall and Thanksgiving. I like to send Thanksgiving cards to my family, especially to my Mom. She really appreciates the cards I send her. I think we will use this set also for a fall scrapbook page at one of my classes.

Sneak Peak

The new Holiday Mini Catalog will be available starting Sept. 1st so I thought I would give you a sneak peek. The new stamp set used on this Christmas card is Serene Snowflakes. The snowflake was stamped using a new Stampin' Up product, shimmer Paint, platinum color. I also used it along the edges of the Merry Christmas using a sponge. There are 2 more paint colors available, Frost White and Champagne Mist. Each color comes in a small bottle. You can apply the paint with a paint brush or a dabber directly onto your stamp. I used a paint brush this time. Being a new product it took me a couple of tries to get the technique correct. I think I will find a lot of uses for this new paint especially on darker colored card stock.

Petal Pizzazz

I decided to use up some of the leftover scraps from a scrapbook page I made this week to make this card. A few punches, the stamp set Petal Pizzazz and voila a retirement card! Get some of your old buttons out and add them to the center of a flower for an added accent. I also used a white gel pen for the centers of the smaller flowers.

Hope you like it.

Razzle Dazzle II

I thought I would try another card using the stamp set Razzle Dazzle in the 2009 - 2010 Idea Book and Catalog. I again used the new In Colors to make this card. Colors for this card include: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Whisper White. The Happy Birthday is another stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
