I Smooch the Smooch Spritz!

Hey there stampers!  Thanks for stopping by!
Today's card is the first one I've made using the fabulous Vanilla Smooch Spritz available now in the new Summer Mini Catalog!  It's so easy to use and makes your cards shimmery and beautiful with a spritz or two!

Here's a little closer so you can see the shimmer of the Vanilla Smooch Spritz

STEPS:

---

1. Stamp the flower image from the Elements of Style stamp set in Jet Black Stazon on Very Vanilla card stock.  Color in flowers using the Barely Banana Stampin' Write Marker.
2. Spray the Vanilla Smooch Spritz on your stamped panel, let dry and then adhere to a mat of Basic Black.
3. Tie some Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon around it and tie into a knot.  Add to your Very Vanilla card base.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the Oval All stamp set in Jet Black Stazon and punch with the Large Oval Punch.  Add to Basic Black punched with the Scallop Oval Punch.  Adhere to card using Dimensionals after spritzing with the Vanilla Smooch Spritz.

Elegant Bouquet for a Fab Friend :)

Hey there stampers! Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was spent being lazy for the most part and it was wonderful! :)
Today's card is one I made over the weekend trying to come up with my thank you cards for my upcoming class.  I decided against it because the coloring of the embossed flowers was a little time consuming- especially if you are a perfectionist.  When you have 12 ladies in your class and you all have to share the same set of Stampin' Write Markers you just can't have a time consuming coloring project. :)

STEPS:

---

1. Using the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder, emboss a piece of Pale Plum card stock.  Color in the raised images with Stampin' Write Markers and adhere to a Perfect Plum card base. 
2. Stamp the sentiment from the Oval All stamp set in Perfect Plum ink.  Color in flowers with Pale Plum Marker and punch with the Large Oval Punch.
3. Layer sentiment onto Perfect Plum punched with the Scallop Oval Punch and adhere to card with Dimensionals.
4. Add Organza ribbon (craft store) and tie into a knot.
   

INGREDIENTS:

---

• STAMPS: Oval All
• INK: Perfect Plum, Stampin' Write Markers
• PAPER: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Whisper White
• ACCESSORIES: Organza Ribbon
• TOOLS: Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Elelgant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Big Shot

Hi there stampers! Sorry for the later than usual post!

Yesterday was my new downline, Jen's first workshop and it was fantastic! She had a bunch of her friends come over and we made a masculine card and a matchbox with chocolates inside. A good time was had by all and it was very successful! Congrats Jen!! You did an awesome job!!

I forgot to take a picture before the workshop and gave my samples to Jen but had some card guts (the cardstock and embellishments to make a card, lovingly called card guts by the fabulous Diana Gibbs!) left over so I whipped up a couple this morning.
I didn't have any more precut Old Olive for the side so I used what I had for the second card and added some of my favorite shiny metalic stickers.We used one of my favorite stamp sets called Loads of Love, the Loads of Love Accessories and the Oval All stamp set. The main image is stamped in Black Stazon, colored in with SU Markers and the corners are punched with the Ticket Corner Punch. We matted it on Night of Navy and punched stars out of another piece of the same. The sentiment from the Oval All stamp set was stamped first on Old Olive with Old Olive ink and then punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. Then we stamped the same sentiment on WW with Night of Navy ink and punched it out with the Large Oval Punch and layered it on the Old Olive. Super cute if I do say so myself!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Card and a Bookmark CASE

Good Sunday Morning Stampers! Thanks for checking in with me today!

So today's card is one I completely CASED (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit)from one of the blogs that I check out regularly, Julie's Stamping Spot. I thought it was such a cute idea I just had to make one (or two) myself!

I started out with a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock measuring 3 1/4" x 11" folded in half and added a pocket of vellum with some white eyelets set with my Crop-A-Dile. I adhered a piece of Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon around the bottom and covered where the ends met with my sentiment from the Oval All set stamped in Baja Breeze. My sentiment was punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered on Cameo Coral punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. The little flowers are from the Boho Blossoms Punch with a white brad in the center and adhered with a Dimensional.









The bookmark is a piece of the fabulous Walk in the Park DSP from the Occasions Mini catalog matted on a piece of Cameo Coral cardstock. I added a White Jumbo Grommet by punching my bookmark with the 1/2" Circle Punch and then feeding the "spokes" of the grommet through the hole and pushing them flat with the end of my scissors on the backside. The butterfly is stamped in Baja Breeze (what am I going to do when this color retires next month!!!)cut out and popped up with another Dimensional. The final touch is the super silky White Satin Ribbon also in the Occasions Mini.

Adorable! Thanks so much Julie for sharing this project!

Hope you have a terrific rest of your day-I'm off to spend time with my family in the jacuzzi with my cup of coffee! :)
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Sweet Sunday Sketch of the Week

Good Morning Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!
Yesterday I stamped a little and played along with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I knew I wanted to use my Branch Out set but wasn't sure on colors. I finally decided on a more masculine look and used some of the scraps I had on my table from the card I posted yesterday. It definitely has a Fall look to it and the weather the last few days is very far from a Fall feel!
I started with an Old Olive card base, added some torn Close to Cocoa with a strip of Pumpkin Pie, and stamped my tree from the Branch Out set in Close to Cocoa. I added the leaves in Ridinghood Red, Close to Cocoa and Pumpkin Pie and matted it on a piece of Ridinghood Red and Close to Cocoa after adding my Jumbo Eyelet for the tire swing.
The sentiment is from the new Oval All set in the Occasions Mini and is punched with the Large Oval Punch and matted on a piece of Close to Cocoa punched with the new Scallop Oval Punch. The final touch is a piece of Ridinghood Red Striped Ribbon tucked under the main panel. I think I am going to try this with a more spring/feminine look tomorrow as I am still trying to figure out my swaps for this upcoming Saturday!!! Yikes!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Branch Out, Oval All Paper: Close to Cocoa, Ridinghood Red, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, WW Ink: Close to Cocoa, Ridinghood Red, Pumpkin Pie Accessories: Jumbo Eyelet, Ridinghood Red Striped Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Dimensionals, Crop-a-dile

Hope you have a super day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Great Friend

Good Morning Stampers! Hope you had a terrific Easter Weekend! I must say I enjoyed being lazy this morning and not rolling out of bed until just a little bit ago! :)

Today's card is one I made a few days ago. I am still trying to figure out my swaps for an upcoming demonstrator event I am going to. I do like this card and I think it just might be the one I will make to swap.


I started out with a Baja Breeze card base, added a strip of the new Walk in the Park DSP from the Occasions Mini Catalog and used my Eyelet Border Punch to make a lacey border along the bottom. I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the three butterflies from the Great Friend set in Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze and Sahara Sand and my sentiment comes from the Oval All stamps set also from the Occasions Mini. The sentiment is layered on a piece of Baja Breeze punched with the new Scallop Oval punch and is adhered with a dimensional on a piece of Certainly Celery Grosgrain ribbon.

Ingredients:
Stamps: Great Friend, Oval All Paper: Walk in the Park DSP, WW, Baja Breeze Ink: Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, SU Markers Accessories: Scallop Oval Punch, Dimensionals, Large Oval Punch, Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Eyelet Border Punch
