Another card for the style camp. This one is Elegant/Classic. I love this style, but I am so NOT elegant personally that any card I make in this style, I just feel fake, lol. I do love how this card turned out though.

This was actually the first time I ever tried the rolled ribbon rose – and it turned out perfectly! It was *so* easy.

Thanks for taking a peek!

This is another card I created for the styles camp. Clean & simple is my preferred style, so going graphic was very painless. This whole card took only about 15 minutes to put together. Very simple – white embossing on color cardstock and hand-draw a couple lines with a marker and ruler.

I still have a few more to post for this camp, but I do believe this is my favorite!

I created this card for an upcoming stamp camp that is all about style. This card is shabby chic – not a style I do easily, but still, it is fun to do something different sometimes.

The card is pretty simple. I stamped the image multiple times on the Vanilla panel. I adhered the DSP to the bottom portion of the panel and then sponged the edges – starting off the panel and working in a circular motion. After determining where the label hardware was going to sit, I colored in just the bits that would be inside.

The Pear seam binding is done by just scrunching it down onto a strip of sticky strip. This technique was one of my requirements from the boss.

The prongs of the antique brad are through the hole of the tag and the crochet bow, then splayed apart – I suppose I could have punched a hole and splayed it behind the panel, but it would have gone through the Pear ribbon and sticky strip, so I just adhered that with a glue dot (or two).

After fixing up the sentiment label and adhering it to the vanilla panel, I attached the whole thing to the Crumb Cake base.

One thing I really like about the new First Edition DSP (SU 2011 Occasions Mini) is that the same design is on the back as the front (but in a way that you end up with a different portion of the same design). The flip side of this scrap has the vertical line more towards the left and I liked having it on the right – it helps lead the eye to the sentiment.

All these cards use the Animal Stories set by StampinUp. I designed these (and 2 CASE cards that I won’t bother posting as the originals are better, lol) for an upcoming stamp camp my mom is holding. The idea is to make 5 cards using the same stamp set to show its versatility.

This first card uses a bold color scheme and some of the products from the Occasions mini (pom-pom trim and large buttons). I had fun stamping this one out.

I tried to keep this next card simple as most of the others have a lot going on. I really love the Paradise leaves paired with the elephant.

I made the third card because I just had to do the cute cart that I found at Lisa Young’s blog. Such a cute idea.

Thanks for stopping by!

I created this card months ago, for my mom to use as her final project for the 12 Weeks of Christmas newsletter.

I started the card with the torn, glittered hills. I chose to use Marina Mist because there was ribbon that matched. The final touch was to emboss the card base.

I CASEd this card from the StampinUp 2010 IB&C (pg 74). Since the card is for my mom’s November stamp camp, I had to leave off the sewing. Hopefully it still works.

I love the colors in this one. But I want to point out that I ended up using Pear Pizzaz on the card base stamping. The olive was just too dark.

I had fun making this card. I used a sketch from PageMaps (March 2010).

The card base uses textured card stock. The pattern paper is the Presto Patterns DSP with Razzleberry ink sponged on. Love that paper!

My mom die cut the letters for me. I really need to get a die alphabet – it makes creating so easy!

I created this card for my mom’s 12 weeks newsletter. It went out a few weeks ago, so it is safe to share this on my blog now. This card made me a fan of Poppy & Pear – they are such a great combo.

The ornament is glittered and popped with a dimensional.

I’m trying to get ahead on my assignments. This card will be for mom’s October stamp camp. I needed to create a card using Batty For You. I used a lot of white space in this card, but I love the results. I don’t have any current paper, so using the wide stripey ribbon helps give the card some interest.

I love spooky Halloween cards, but sometimes I need some friendly ones. I think the bright colors and cute image really make for a friendly card.
