Holiday Catalog Begins Tomorrow!!!!!!

 
Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I enjoyed sharing my birthday with family Sat.  We ate at Cheddars and had a good time.

The card I'm sharing today uses another one of the new in-colors Mint Macaron.  It used the stamps By the Tide and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The card base was Basic Gray with the next layer being Very Vanilla.  On the Very Vanilla layer the lobster was stamped using Smoky Slate ink.  The Smoky Slate piece was run through the Chevron embossing folder to give it that textured look.  A smaller piece of Basic Gray with Very Vanilla was the next layer and the bush was stamped on using Smoky Slate ink.  The fish was stamped using Mint Macaron and than fussy cut out before being put on the card using stampin dimensionals to give it a raised effect. The sentiment was from Teeny Tiny Wishes and stamped in Smoky Slate.

Good Morning,

Today's card is using Sprinkles of Life ( 139971).  I believe this one I CASED from one on Pinterest.  I'm sorry I can't remember that person's name.

 I used Soft Suede card stock for the base of the card.  Other colors used were Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, and Cucumber Crush. 

Designer series paper Cherry On Top was used as well as Watermelon Wonder Lace trim.  Stampin' Up Write markers of Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder and Delightful Dijon were used to ink the smaller flowers and to color in the flowers in the top of the basket.  The 7/8" scallop punch was used to make the bigger flowers.  This was a very detailed card.  I love this stamp set!  It is turning out to be one of my favorites this year.

Good Afternoon,

 I've been working on this blog for a couple of days off and on trying to get a new look and making it easier to navigate. I'm going to add another card that we did in a class before I left for the SU  Convention.

This one was done using the new Neutrals Designer paper(138435).  The stamp set used was World of Dreams ( 134186). We used Tip Top Taupe ink (138325), card stock( 138336),and lace trim (138422).  The sentiment comes from the stamp set You've Got This (139575).

I hope you will enjoy making this card.  If you would like to make cards like this sign up to attend one of my classes.  As you can see in earlier posts there is lots of enjoyment and fun that takes place at these classes.
