Awesomely Artistic Thoughts

Hi there!  Today's card is one that was made months ago and overlooked for posting, so I'm sharing with you now.  The card design was CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) from Deb Valder's card HERE.  The flower image from the Stampin' Up! set, Awesomely Artistic, was randomly stamped onto the card base in black ink.  A separate flower image was stamped on a piece of scrap white, water colored with an Aqua Painter, and then cut out before adhering to the focal piece.  The colors used were Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz.  The circle medallion image was popped up on Dimensionals.

OK, need to sign off since the granddog is wanting some attention now.  Thanks for visiting today! 

After Christmas Cheer

Hi there!  How about a little after-Christmas Cheer?  This was supposed to get posted before Christmas but things got a bit hectic!  Sorry it's late, but better late than never they say.  Lol
This card appeared on our Card Buffet display board.  It was CASE'd right from the Stampin' Up! 2014 Holiday Catalog. 
Today we're having Christmas at our daughter's house since it's the only day that worked for everyone to be together.   So, must get going.  Come back tomorrow for one of the cards the girls made yesterday at Club.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.  Thank you so much for stopping in today!

Maritime Traveler

Hi there!  Today's card is one of the make n takes from our New Catalog Open House that Mary Taylor and I hosted on May 31.  The ship image is from the Traveler set, which can be found in Stampin' Up!s new 2014-15 Annual Catalog.  (See below for other images that are in this set.)  The strip of Designer Series Paper is Maritime and the background panel was textured with the Argyle embossing folder.  My sample was totally CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) from Sally Nusbaum's card.

Must run - our granddaughter spent the night.  Thank you for visiting today!

It's All About the Gold

Hi there!  Hope you had a good weekend!  My to-do list is very long so let's move on to the card, shall we?  It is another Card Buffet selection using the beautiful Fancy Foil Designer Gold Vellum by Stampin' Up!, which can be found in the 2014 Occasions Catalog.  This could be a Valentine or anniversary card.  The ladies could also choose to use the "hi" sentiment from Regarding Dahlias.  My card is pretty much a CASE of Jodi Reinert's card here (Jan 4th post), except that I used a different sentiment and added some gold Washi tape.  Gold Baker's Twine was the finishing touch.  Love all these gold elements in the Occasions Catalog!  They come in Silver, too. 
Oh!  A hint for adhering the vellum if you aren't using Washi tape, is to put glue on the back of the gold dots. 

That's it for now.  Thanks for stopping in for a peek today!

Getting Beachy!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Today is the last scheduled post this week.  I'll be home Sunday from the girls getaway retreat and back to reality!  lol

Today's card was pretty much a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of Michelle McGraw's card posted on her blog here.  She's so clever!  I added a seashell but omitted the twine and Crystal Effects - and used Stampin' Up! inks, of course.  This was another sample card in our Card Buffet last month.

Wetlands

Hi there!  This is a scheduled post while I'm stamping and chillaxing at the girls getaway retreat!  I know I'm having fun!  lol
This card was CASE'd from one that was made at Sally Nusbaum's Demo Shoebox Swap back in June.  I believe it was Kathy Morales' swap card, but not totally sure about that.  LOVE this stamp set so this card was a no brainer to be in our Card Buffet line-up!  We're always looking for masculine cards, right?

By the Tide

Hi there and happy Wednesday!  Hope you're having an awesome week.  Had a great time with my stamping peeps last night at our monthly meeting!

Today's card is one of my projects showcased on our Card Buffet.  Mary Taylor, Marla Schack, and I each have ten cards displayed.  We rotate them out after two months unless they're really popular, and bring in new cards.  I CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) my card from the sample boards that were displayed at the Stampin' Up! St Louis Regional back in March.  Sorry I don't know who to credit.  Contact me if it's your card or you know who made it.  The camera doesn't do this card justice.  It sparkles in real life - kind of like rays of sunlight shining down through the depths of the ocean and illuminating the coral.

Must go for now to tackle that to-do list!  Tonight my youngest and I are meeting for a belated Mother's Day dinner.  We both have been so busy and really need some time to catch up on everything, wedding plans included!

Take care and thank you for visiting today!

Love & Care Received

Hi there!  Hope you're having a great day.  Just popping in quick today to show you the pretty card I received from my friend & up-line, Pam D'Urso.  As you probably know, we had a Starter Kit promotion last month.  Pam sent this card congratulating me on my new recruit!  Woo Hoo!!!  She's always so thoughtful!

This card just makes me happy!  The colors are so bright and cheerful.  I'll be CASE'ing (Copy And Share Everything) this card for sure!  Thanks, Pam!

A CASE of No More Bliss

Hi there and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Today's post is about no more Bliss - a free set that was only available during Sale-a-bration.  I absolutely LOVE this stamp set and hope it appears in the new catalog!  The neutral colors paired with the Framed Tulips embossing folder makes the most elegant cards.  Tamara Bertram's card was an absolute CASE (copy and share everything) except for a couple of minor changes.  click here to view her card - posted Mar 30   The only thing I changed was the ink and stamp for the sentiment.  Wouldn't this make a great gift in a little tote?  You could make up labels with different sentiments so the recipient could customize each card to suit the occasion.  Just don't remove the protective paper from the dimensionals on the backs of the labels.

Recipe
Stamps: Bliss, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Whisper White, Sahara Sand
Ink: Sahara Sand, Black
Other: Word Window & Modern Label punches, Framed Tulips embossing folder, Pearls, dimensionals

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by today!
