The Detailed Floral Thinlits, Flourishing Phrases stamp set and the Stitched Ribbon. Beautiful! I am experiencing a bit of trouble with getting the pieces out after running the thinlits through my Big Shot. Maybe I just need a shim (extra piece of paper in my sandwich before running it through the Big Shot). =)

Snow Place Buddies
I'm in LOVE with the Snow Place stamp set... it offers so many options. Also, pairing it with the Snow Friends Framelits makes creating cards a breeze.
Now, I do have to say that I copied Mary Fish's card... with a little tweek. Thanks so much for your inspiration Mary! I can see many possibilities using this set. Here is Mary's card:

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set - Snow Place

MeltingMan
I've seen so many melting snowmen on Pinterest using the 'Sprinkles of Life' cloud stamp ... I just had to create one of my own. Now I did copy Melissa Davies' card, but tweeked it to make it my own. Thanks so much for your inspiration! Here is Melissa's card:
The way the sentiment came out was a mistake, but I think it made the card that much more appropriate, as it looks like it's fading/melting, like the snowman. The look was achieved by using the Basic Black marker on the stamp (so I could only get the words "Snow Way!")... I guess I should have stamped it on scrap paper and re-ink. As I said... I think it's perfect for the card.
Supplies Used:Stamp Sets - Sprinkles of Life, Snow Place
Ink - Smoky Slate, Memento, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Paper - Whisper White (thick), Brushed Silver

Starting to create some Christmas cards for this year. I knew I wanted to use the Snow Place stamp set, but wasn't sure what to place in the background. Well, I remembered that I purchased the 'This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP)... so I found one that worked well with my snowman.
It's really fun putting all the Snow Place items together with the Snow Friends Framelits... so easy to cut out!

I've used the Wondrous Wreath before using traditional colors for Christmas (green and red) and Fall (orange, yellow), so I wanted to create some classy wreaths with white and gold. I saw Cat Craig's card on Pinterest and thought I'd dress mine up a bit using the gold foil paper. Here's Cat's card:
As you can see I made a few changes from Cat's card, but kept the general layout the same. Thanks so much Cat for your inspiration!

Silver and Gold Stars
Creating more Christmas cards for the season. I used the Star of Light stamp set and the coordinating Starlight thinlits. I love the versatility of this stamp set too... although, you can't see it here, as I used the same stamps and thinlits on both cards. The stamp set has many Christmas messages to choose from as well as different star stamps too. I hope to create a few more cards using the other stamps, so check back with my blog soon.
On the Gold Star card, I used Gold Foil paper and Very Vanilla cardstock with Gold Emboss Powder. On the Silver Star card, I used Silver Foil paper and Night of Navy cardstock with Silver Emboss Powder.

So many cards to make for Christmas.... it's so easy to create different cards for people when you have some beautiful inspiration on Pinterest.

Sprinkled Trees
It's really kinda amazing how this card evolved from what I had originally planned when I first started took this stamp set out.
My original color choice was to use gray/white with a touch of red for the bird. Instead I ended up using black/vanilla with the touch of red...not really traditional Christmas colors, but I believe the end result is pretty amazing!
I wanted to utilize the This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper...and the colors on this particular sheet was black and vanilla. So, I adjusted my thinking and I'm so happy I did!

I finished the card the traditional way by attaching the piece onto black cardstock and added a piece of white cardstock to the top. I attached the ribbon to cover the seam from the white and music papers.

Snowmen Nuggets Holder
These are so darn cute! I saw Donna Kish's on Pinterest (she got her inspiration from France Martin (Frenchie). Thanks so much ladies for creating something so cute!

I started with a 6 1/4" x 3" piece of Real Red cardstock. Then, I scored it 1/2" and 1" on all sides. I cut the piece as shown below:
Now, I used Whisper White cardstock for the snowmen bodies. I cut my strips 1" x 3"... and used double-sided sticky tape first. It didn't hold to well together, so I switched to using glue dots to keep them on the chocolate nuggets.

Our Aunt had open heart surgery to replace/repair to faulty valves in her heart. Since I cannot be there in person to give her flowers... what better way to cheer her up than sending cheerful flowers that will never wilt!

Thoughtful Friend
My niece loves her little black kitty, so I thought I'd make a kitty card for her.... and her favorite color is blue, so I used Bermuda Bay with the matching polka dotted ribbon (retired).
I couldn't make a black kitty due to the fact the eyes and whiskers wouldn't show up on black ink, so I used Basic Gray instead. So it's a little gray kitty. LOL!
I used the heart within in the Foxy Friends stamp set on this card. I just inked up the middle size heart instead of the heart bubble that is within the set.
Thanks for taking a quick look!

Swirly Year
I saw a cute card on Pinterest with the word "SMILE" in cut out letters on a card and thought what a cute idea.... I could do that for a Happy Birthday card. I think it turned out great! I added a few flowers around too to make it more feminine.
Now, I do have to say... the colors in the photo are off... it looks blue. The color is actually green -- the new In-Color - Emerald Envy. I'm sure any color would work well with this though. =)

Love For You
I am happy to announce that my husband's parents are celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary! Wow! What an amazing married life that they have lived so far! Congratulations to them!
I wanted to create something spectacular for their 60th.... the theme for 60th is diamonds... so I knew I was going to use some rhinestones on it. My card measures 5x5. I found Amanda Bates' card on Pinterest, and loved her layout and design, so I re-created her card using the brushed silver cardstock (I know silver is for 25th wedding anniversary, but it worked well with my rhinestones!).
Here is Amanda's card:
Thanks Amanda for your inspiration!

Time For Flowers
For my hubby on our anniversary! Celebrating 14 years! I love you honey!
I utilized 3 different stamp sets for this card: Falling Flowers for the black vine and red flowers; Time of Year for the banner 'Always'; and Flourishing Phrases for the words 'I Love You'.
I love how it all came together so easily. I was not going to add the flowers...as the vine is pretty on it's own, but with the added flowers it just steps it up with the wow factor!
I pray that we are blessed with many more years together!

Swirly Banner
Okay, so I have a confession to make... when I got the stamp set "Swirly Birds" I was perplexed as to what to use the 2 double triangle stamps for... I couldn't figure it out. Luckily, other Stampin' Up! demonstrators figured it out and posted cards using those 2 stamps - whew! They were used for making kites! LOL!
I'm happy to say that I was able to play with them, and came up with this great card!
I also used the Perfectly Artistic DSP for the background. I believe it's a fitting background for the kites!

Flourishing Banner
I'd like to tell you how this card evolved. I originally thought to just place the white die-cut on top of the peach cardstock with the banner below. It looked too plain to me. I then thought that the negative piece would look good on top of the peach cardstock with a black mat behind... I did like that, but felt it was missing something. I decided to add the die-cut piece back onto the opening BUT... offsetting it a bit, so it looks like a shadow! Lovely!

Falling Cards
I've seen a few cards using this layout with a slice of the top cardstock cut out, so wanted to try my hand at it.
I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but I will share how I accomplished it. With the front of the card and the Simply Scored Tool I scored a diagonal line on the carstock...then I moved only the bottom portion to create another score line. I then used my scissors to cut on the score lines. (The Designer Series Paper is covering the back portion of the card front, so that when the person who opens the card will see the left portion all covered).
I wanted to use the Falling Flowers and the May Flowers Framelits for the first time! Cute set... I can see so many possibilities!

Sugarplum Swirls
When I saw (on Pinterest) that someone used the Swirly Birds stamp set as a lollipop.... I just had to try to make a card with one too. Such creativity and thinking outside the box!
I took a close-up photo, so that you could see that I used Wink of Stella on the white parts of the lollipop to give it some shine too! As an added note... I used the cardstock color Sweet Sugarplum -- How appropriate! =)

Birthday Friend
My niece loves kitties.... so what could be more adorable than a kitty card! When the new Stampin' Up! catalog came out with the Foxy Friends and Fox Builder Punch came out, I just knew I had to get them. So much diversity in this stamp set. Although, I do have to say.... it's difficult to decide which stamp to use with what...and the Fox Punch doesn't align with any stamp, so you need to punch several pieces of paper to just get the whole animal. (This was my first card, so hopefully putting together the animals will get easier the more I work with them).
I utilized a few different products on this card. The Designer Series Paper is from "It's My Party" paper stack. I used the Deco Labels Framelits....as well as the Bunch of Banners Framelits. The sentiment stamps are from Banners for You and Birthday Banners stamp sets.
Thanks for stopping by!

Peekaboo Banners
Sorry, this photo is a bit flashy... I tried to get the sparkle of the Wink of Stella on the flowers (the without a flash photo...made the flowers look a bit dirty). Trust me... it sparkles! lol
I wanted to showcase the 'Banners for You' stamp set...and this is the only set I used for this card! Amazing - huh! Such lovely flowers and leaves that tend to get overlooked with all the words and banners within the set.
Thanks for taking a peek!
