Thanks for coming by for a visit today!

Sketched Swallowtail

Hi there!  Today I have another birthday card to share with you.  It is similar to the one I made here but with a few changes.  A flower from Simply Sketched was substituted for the leaf image.  It was embossed with clear embossing powder and colored in with a brush and some ink from Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangerine Tango, and Old Olive.  (The flower looks much better in real life than it does here.)  An additional butterfly was added and the placement is different.  Next I want to try the new In Colors using this design.

Must go now to work on my to-do list.  Thank you for coming by!

So Sorry Swallowtail

CASE'd from  LeeAnn Greff     

Hi there!  Gosh, I didn't realize that it's been two weeks since my last post.  Yikes!  I returned home from the Girls' Getaway retreat Sunday evening (Apr 21st), spent time perusing the new Stampin' Up! catalog (available on-line to Demonstrators only.  Love it!) and deciding what to pre-order, attended a fellow Demo's Card Buffet Friday night, then attended a Crop for the Cure crop all day Saturday.  Yesterday was spent recuperating from all those late nights!  It's a tough job but somebody has to do it!  lol

There was some stamping going on during my blogging absence.  I was playing around with some techniques and CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) some projects.  The above CASE'd card seen here - scroll down to April 19 post, was sent to a fellow Demonstrator who lost a family member.  I've never met the lady but wanted my "stampin' sister" to know she is in my thoughts during this difficult time. 

All Stampin' Up! supplies used unless otherwise noted
Stamps: Swallowtail Butterfly, So Sorry, Papillon Potpourri, Summer Silhouettes
Paper: Soft Suede, Pool Party
Ink: Versamark, Soft Suede
Other: Elegant Butterfly punch, 3/8" Pool Party ruffled ribbon, pearls, clear embossing powder

Enjoy this beautiful day and thank you for stopping in to visit!

Fabulous!

Hi there!  Here is one of the projects I worked on yesterday.  This is a complete CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of LeeAnn Greff's card here (Aug 22, 2011 post) that LeeAnn CASE'd from June Dunn.  I switched the Island Indigo card base for a Pool Party card base and changed the sentiment.  Otherwise, it's the same. 
The oval area was masked so the flower could be stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Pool Party ink was sponged on, then some Island Indigo around the flower.  A flower punch and a pearl was added. A sentiment from the A Word for You set completes the card.

I'm off and running.  Thanks for visiting today!  You're always welcome here.

Tractor Punch Art

Surprise - it's me again!  Been going through photos only to find some projects that did not get posted.  So thought I'd better do it now before another senior moment comes upon me!  lol

When I saw  this (scroll down to the Sep 9th post) on LeeAnn Greff's site, I knew it would make the perfect card for my brother-in-law who used to own a John Deere dealership. LeeAnn has the supplies listed to make the card.  Unfortunately, some items are retired - such as the "wheat" stamp from Autumn Days.

That's it for today.  Thank you again for coming by!
