Raspberry Garden Whimsy

Hi there Stampers! Thanks for visiting!


Today's card is another gate fold card. I started out with a Pumpkin Pie base and added some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. I stamped my butterfly image from the Gaden Whimsy stamp set using the rock n roll technique inking it first in Pumpkin Pie and then Melon Mambo. I matted it on Melon Mambo and adhered it only on the left side so you can open it. I added the little lady bug inked with Rich Razzleberry and Black SU Markers, punched with the 1" Circle Punch and matted on some more Melon Mambo.
On the inside I added a panel of Whisper White and stamped another butterfly from the same set in Melon Mambo.

These new colors were not my faves at first but they have become more appealing since I've been playing around with them more.

Hope you have a great day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Thank You Top Note

Hi there! Thanks for visiting!



Today's card starts with a Basic Black card base. I stamped the flowers from the Razzle Dazzle stamp set randomly in Black Stazon on a Whisper White Top Note and in White ink on the Basic Black card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set on Whisper White with Black Stazon and punched it with the Word Window Punch. I layered it on a piece of Real Red punched with the Modern Label Punch, then onto WW punched with the 1" Circle Punch and finally onto a piece of Basic Black punched with the Designer Label Punch.

I like the way it turned out, what do you think?

Have a super day! See you again soon!

Razzleberry Lemonade Birthday!

Hi there stampers! Hope you are having a terrific day! And when life gives you lemons...make razzleberry lemonade! ;)

Today's card is actually a gift card holder. We learned how to make these at our Woo Hoo Stampers get together back in April. Super easy and super cute-just how I like it!



I started out with a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock-it was already scored and I don't have the directions right now, but I'll give them to you if you ask for it when I get back from vacation. :) I added some of our new Razzleberry Lemonade DSP along the top pocket and took a piece of Melon Mambo and punched it with the Scallop Edge punch and adhered it to the edge of the bottom pocket. I added some Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon around the gift card holder and stapled a piece to the top of the Melon Mambo note tag. The cupcake is stamped using my new In Color Markers and cut out and is from the Party Hearty stamp set.

You'll be happy to know there is nothing retired in this post!!

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Lots of Bots

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's card uses the super cute new set called Lots of Bots. It is the perfect set for a little boys birthday or to give a guy when he's not feeling well! It's fun to color too!



I started out with a Ballet Blue card base and stamped the rows of numbers and nuts and bolts in the same color for the background. I stamped my bot in Black Stazon and colored it in with my SU markers in Going Gray, Summer Sun and Ballet Blue. I notched out the corners with my Ticket Corner Punch and matted it on some Summer Sun. The final touch are the silver Metal Stickers from Joann's $1 spot. Love those little buggers!

Hope you are having a great day!

Pink Silhouette

Hey there stampers? Is it hot in here or what?!? It's been a warm summer!

Today's card uses more card guts (apparently I had a large amount stashed away!). These were from Valentine's Day but were so cute I kept it pretty much the same except for the stamp set.



I started out with a Basic Black card base, added a strip of the retired Candy Lane DSP and punched out 3 pieces of Pretty in Pink with the Scallop Square Punch. Next I stamped the silhouttes from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set in Black Stazon and punched them out with the 1 1/4" Square Punch and layered them on the Scallop Squares. I used my 1/8" Circle Punch to punch the very edge of the fold of the card to create a little slit to run the Pink Gingham Ribbon (retired)through and tied it in a knot. I had stamped the heart from the A Happy Heart stamp set in Black Stazon on Shrink Plastic and used my heat tool to shrink it back in February so I had some left. I ran some silver cording through the hole I had made in it before heating it and tied it around the Pink Gingham Ribbon. I left the sentiment off until I need the card-either for an anniversary or maybe for Valentine's?

So glad you stopped by today! Have a happy stamping day!

Take "Note" of This!

Hi there stampers! Thanks for visiting!

So my title says to take "note" of this because I used my Top Note Die only available through Stampin' Up! Ha ha I'm a dork, I know-it's ok I'm aware of it! ;)



Today's card starts with a an Old Olive card base cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and folded in half. I ran a piece of WW cardstock through with my bleoved Top Note Die and then sponged the edges with Sahara Sand and Old Olive ink. I stamped the flower image from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set in Sahara Sand and my sentiment from the same set is stamped in Black Stazon and punched with the Word Window Punch. I layered it on a piece of Old Olive punched with the new Modern Label Punch and popped it up on Dimensionals (can a girl make a card without those?!). The final touch is some Moss Gingham Ribbon (retired)tied in a knot on the side.

I really like this card and it came together in less than five minutes including using the Top Note Die. It is a must have! :)

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Good Friend!

Hi there stampers!

Today's card is so cute! I love this birdie!


I started out with a Bashful Blue cardbase, stamped it with the Polka Dot background stamp in the same color and then added some of the dandelion looking image from the Good Friend stamp set also in Bashful Blue. I stamped my bird in Brocade Blue and his beak and feet in Only Orange and added a googlie eye for the fun of it! I notched out the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch and matted it on a piece of Ballet Blue. I stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Brocade Blue and matted it also on Ballet Blue after adding some Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon around it. The final touch are those super cute and easy little Metal Stickers from Joann's.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card for today! Have a great day and hope to see you again tomorrow!

Simple Trendy Tree

Hi there Stampers!

Here's another super simple card using some retired accessories.

I started out with a Chocolate Chip card base and added a two panels of the retired Good Morning Sunshine DSP matted with Kiwi Kiss cardstock. I stamped my main image with Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss inks using a tree from the Trendy Trees set. I matted that on Kiwi Kiss and popped it up with Dimensionals. The final touch is some Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon tied in a knot.



Super simple and can be adapted to any stamp set and color scheme. I did see a similar card but cannot find it now, so if it was you please let me know so I can give you credit! :)

Take care and see you soon!

Pacific Point Razzle Dazzle

Hi there stampers! Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Today's card combines both old and new, nothing's borrowed but there's definitely blue! Hee hee!



I started out with a Pacific Point (retired) card base and added a panel of retired Good Morning DSP with Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon tied around it. I stamped my main image from the Razzle Dazzle stamp set using Old Olive, Summer Sun and Rose Red SU Markers. I matted it on Old Olive and popped it up with Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set is stamped in Pacific Point, punched with the Word Window Punch, matted on Rose Red punched with the Modern Label Punch, matted on Pacific Point Punched with the 1" Circle Punch and finally all onto more DSP punched with the Designer Label Punch. It's a lot of punching but I love how these all look together!

Hope you are enjoying your summer like I am!

Sweet Stem Polka Dots

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's card is using up some more of my card guts and retired DSP but can easily be adapted to different colors!



I started with a WW card base, added a panel of Rose Red and some retired Raspberry Tart DSP. I stamped one of the flower images from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set in Rose Red and Old Olive and punched the out with the 1/2" Circle Punch and layered them on Regal Rose punched out with the 3/4" Circle Punch. I added some Old Olive Grograin Ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Black Stazon and added some Old Olive flowers on the end. It's punched out with the Word Window Punch.

Have a terrific stamping day!

Razzle Dazzle Tags

Hi there! Thanks for joining me today!

Today's card uses new stuff! Well there is a strip of retired DSP in it but just a small one! ;)



I started out with a Bermuda Bay base (love this new color!)stamped randomly with the flower from the new Razzle Dazzle stamp set in the same color. I added a strip of the retired Good Morning Sunshine DSP and stamped my sentiment from the Trendy Trees set on WW with Bermuda Bay and punched it with the Modern Label Punch. I stamped my tags using the same flower in Bermuda Bay, Summer Sun and Melon Mambo and punched them with the Small Tag Punch. They are layered on Summer Sun punched with the larger Tag Punch and I added some Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon. I added a Bermuda Bay flower in the center of each tag with Dimensionals. It feels so summery to me!

Have a super day!

Curly Kiwi Tree

Hi there! I know what a silly name! I try to name my posts by what stamp set I used but today I named it after the color, stamp set and punch!



Today's card started with a Kiwi Kiss (retired!)card base. I added squares of Good Morning Sunshine DSP in the corners and down the center. I stamped the tree from the Trendy Trees stamp set using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip ink and punched it out with the Curly Label Punch. I added a piece of Pacific Point Striped Ribbon and popped it up with Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the same set and is punched out with the Word Window Punch and layered on Kiwi Kiss punched with the new Modern Label Punch.

Hope you are having a great day! See you again soon!
Hugs,

Sweet Tart

Hi there Stampers!

Today's card uses more retired stuff but I am on vacation and had few now current things available to me when I stamped them! I promise there will be new stuff when I get back!! :)



I started with a WW card base, added a panel of Raspberry Tart DSP and some Rose Red cardstock. I stamped my main image from the Sweet Stems stamp set in Black Stazon and colored it in with my SU Markers. I matted that on Rose Red, then Old Olive then WW. I added some Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set and punched it with the new Modern Label Punch. I have used this new punch a lot and LOVE it! :)

I'm so glad you stopped by to visit! I hope you leave me a comment now and then to let me know you've come by! I love visitors!

Take care!

Razzle Dazzle

Good Morning Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's card is a gate fold card and is super cute IMHO (in my humble opinion). There's great tutorial for these on the fabulous Dawn Griffith's blog. I started out with a Basic Black card base, scored according to Dawn's tutorial and added panels of Good Morning Sunshine DSP (retired).
I stamped my main image using the new Razzle Dazzle stamp set inked with the new Melon Mambo SU Marker (Yippee!! Markers for In Colors!)and Old Olive and again on a scrap and punched the scrap out with my 1 1/4" Circle Punch and matted it on Basic Black punched witht he 1 3/8" Circle Punch. I punched the corners of my main image with the Ticket Corner punch, matted it on a piece of Summer Sun and again on a piece of Basic Black. I adhered it only on the left side so you can open the card.
On the inside of the card I used my SU Markers again to ink up the other flower in the Razzle Dazzle stamp set and stamped the corners of my Whisper White piece. I left the inside blank so I can add a sentiment later.

I hope you are having a terrific day and that you stop by again soon!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Sweet Owl

Hi there stampers!

Today's the first day you can order from the new catty! Yippee! Just click the "Shop 24/7" button on the side ------> if you'd like to place an order.

By now I am on the road on my way to Wyoming, actually we will stop in Utah first because there is no way I can drive 18 hours straight with three kids in the car with me! So wish me luck, pray for our safety and for my sanity!

Today's card uses more card guts and the owl from the new Animal Stories stamp set available today!
I started with an Old Olive card base, added the Cuttlebugged panel of Close to Cocoa and stamped my owl image from the Animal Stories stamp set first in Dusty Durango and then rock and rolled it in Soft Suede. I added some Summer Sun to his spots and beak and stamped the branch from the Cheep Talk stamp set. I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the sentiment just right. The final touch is the two gold brads set with my Mat Pack.

Thanks for visiting and hope you come back again soon! I worked hard to have a new post set to go live everyday while I am gone so hopefully technology is working!!

Hugs,
Elizabeth
