Stampin' Up! Best Thoughts

I love this new Stampin' Up! stamp set, Best Thoughts... It's one of the hostess sets from the new catalog.  I cased this card from Pinterest.  I switched up the design a little.  I embossed the flower and the butterfly with white embossing powder and colored them in with So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Last Lagoon.  Love the way it turned out.





Stampin' Up! Flower Shop and Birthday Blossoms

This card was a project from my July Stampin' Class.  I used the Stampin' Up! stamp sets Flower Shop and Birthday Blossoms.  The background is Sahara Sand card stock with the Honeycomb embossing folder.  The flowers were stamped in Pool Party and Pear Pizzazz.  I saw this card on Pinterest and love it so much I had to make it.




Paint Chip Inspiration #18: Flowers in Bloom

 This was one of the projects from my July Stampin' Class.  The girls got to pick out their own color combo paint chip.  I used Secret Garden stamp set, which is retired, but I love it.  I used a black Stazon Ink Pad so the ink wouldn't smear on the paint chips since they are a little slick.





Stampin' July Class Projects



These are all the projects from my July Stampin' Class.  I will have more featured pictures of the cards up close so you can see the detail.  The paint chip bookmarks were my gift to the girls who attended class.


Throwback Thursday: Mini Fold Card

This Throwback Thursday project is a mini card that can hold a tea bag or a gift card.  Stampin' Up! didn't have rhinestones or pearls back then so we had to use little brads for the center of the butterfly.

Tuesday Technique: Faux Silk

This picture does not do the "Faux Silk" technique justice.  It's so much prettier in person and the softness of the paper is paired so well with the the tiny leaves.  Very pretty.
