Watercolor Wonder

Hi there!  Today I have another card from Jayne Singleton's Stamp Camp.  The background Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper is matted onto a Calypso Coral panel.  A Tea Lace Paper Doily is wrapped around a tag cut out with the Stampin' Up! Scallop Tag Topper punch, which is adorned with a sentiment flag, Petite Petals flowers, and some Chevron Ribbon & Baker's Twine.  Thanks, Jayne, for another cute card!

That's all for now - working on some projects, plus I want to go through the new catalog again to add to my Wish List.  Thanks for checking in today!

Watercolor Wonder

Hi there!  Sorry for the absence.  My intention was to schedule some posts before leaving for the girls retreat but there just weren't enough hours in the day.  We had a small group at the retreat this time but it was still fun and very relaxing.  We watched a lot of movies.  Speaking of movies, tonight is the live catalog premiere (simulcast from California)!  It is being held at a local movie theatre.  Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will be in movie theatres across the nation to view our new catalog on the big screen!  How cool is that?  This is something new Stampin' Up! is trying and it seems to be going over very well.  Of course, our group is making a day of it!  So with that in mind, I'd better get to today's card.  This was a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from Shelly Godby's card posted on her blog www.stampinsmiles.com December 29, 2013.  Why change perfection?  Love the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper.  Too bad it has to retire!

Must get going!  Thank you for coming by for a visit today!

Tag - You're It!

Hi there!  Hope you're having a good week.  It's been a busy one here with making final preparations for our Card Buffet scheduled for Saturday and just catching up on sleep from this past weekend.  Without further ado, let's get to the above card - another sample from our Card Buffet display board.  The inspiration for this tag card came from my friend and fellow Demonstrator, Sally Nusbaum.  I changed the base color from Gumball Green to Crisp Cataloupe and also used some different ink colors to make it my own.  The supply list can be found below.  Here is a better shot of the tag.

Last of the Swaps

Hi there!  Today is the last of the shoebox swaps from a fun girls' retreat last month.  Our theme was to make a sympathy, get well, or thinking of you card.  The above swap was by Sally Nusbaum.  The sentiment from Sassy Salutations fit perfectly in the center of the Blossom punch.  Both items can be found in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  How about that subtle polka dot background?  That is the new Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (DSP) on page 23 of the 2014 Occasions Catalog.  The finishing touch is the 3/4" Island Indigo Chevron Ribbon.  Who wouldn't feel better after receiving this card?

The next swap was designed by Susan Fields.

Her card is showcasing High Tide DSP (in the 2014 Occasions Catalog), the Banner Blast stamp set, and coordinating Banner punch.  The banner stamp set and punch are FREE products you can earn during Sale-A-Bration!  Some gold Baker's Twine was used for "hanging" the banners.  This is a new item in the Occasions Catalog and also comes in silver.  A circle stamped with an image from Hello, Sailor and matted onto a Pacific Point shape punched from the Curly Label punch makes the perfect embellishment.  What a great masculine card!

Snow is in the forecast.  Looks like another day in the studio.  It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.  Ha!  Thank you for stopping in today!
