Washi Tape Wednesday: 2 Hearts Are Better Than 1

I recently made some cards with a big heart cut out and didn't know what to do with the leftover heart pieces.  So I ran one heart through the Heart Embossing Folder and covered the other heart with washi tape and pulled this card together.

Stampin' Up! Swirly Scribbles Thinlit - Swaps

I had a lot of fun playing with the new Stampin' Up! Swirly Scribbles Thinlit.  Swirly Scribbles is one of the new thinlits offered in the NEW 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! catalog. These are my swaps from a recent INKredible Impressions gathering. 


Do you love the Designer Series Paper featured in this card?  What about the pretty swirls made with the new Stampin' Up! in-colors?  Contact me to find out how you can get your hands on a new catalog and new goodies:

Sharing a great way to use your paper scraps... especially ones as pretty as the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper pack from the Occasions Mini.






More Samples from May Stampin Class

More projects from my May Stampin Class...




Wisteria Wonder 4" x 4" square card.  I wanted to make this card in a small square version and wasn't sure I could find an envelope.  So I made my own envelope using the Envelope Punch Board...quick and simple when you follow the measurements on the board.




Garden in Bloom Gift Card Holder

Today's sample is another project from my May Stampin Class.  We made this cute gift card using Bermuda Bay card stock and the Garden in Bloom stamp set.


Dimensions:  Bermuda Bay card stock:  8 3/4" x 4 1/4" and scored at 1", 5" and 5 1/4".  The outside white panel is 4" x 3" and the inside white panel is 4" x 3 1/4".





Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack

Another sample from my May Stampin Class.  I posted this card a while ago but the girls loved it so I made it part of my class projects.  This card is a great way to show off all the great color combinations you can work around by using the "Have a Cuppa" Designer Series Paper Pack from the Occasions Mini Catalog.


I would never have put Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate on one card... but I think it looks great the way the colors all compliment each other.
