Another Pop-up card? This one is Simply Said with a video.

I have been on a roll lately with pop-up cards. They seem to be my favorite type of card lately and so when I was going through my samples and saw one similar to this one done at a past Stampin' Up! Convention, I knew that I had to make one. I made this card into a photo card. I used Simply Said stamp set and Scatter Sunshine Stampin' Around Wheel by Stampin' Up!

Write Stuff II Digital Scrapping

I posted these photos last week and have now decided to digitally scrap them. I used the download "Write Stuff II" Digital Kit for My Digital Studio to scrap these pictures. Sometimes I get kind of stuck using the same products because I like them. This was the first time I used this kit.

I do like the photos to be the main focal point, so I do not do a lot of embellishing, but keep it kind of simple.

Elegant Chocolate Bunny

Isn't this Chocolate Bunny so great? I resisted it for a long time and then I saw samples of it embossed and I just loved it. This is a single stamp called "Chocolate Bunny" by Stampin' Up!. The grass from the Inspired By Nature set is so useful.

Abundant Hope Clean and Simple Style

I have always loved card sketches, but I have not seemed to try them very often until lately. I have really enjoyed the layouts over at Clean and Simple Stamping. I used the Fall To Layout 79 for the basis of this card using the Stampin' Up! set Abundant Hope.

Medallion Embossing Resist

Just Barely enough time today to show you a card done recently at my Heat Embossing class. This card was inspired by a demonstration done my Shelli Gardner, CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin' Up!, at a fall regional meeting.

I love the Medallion stamp and this is a great way to do the Emboss Resist. I also pulled out my Spritzer Tool for this card. That is one tool that I should use more often, but often just forget! Because Stampin' Up! released the In-Colors this year in the markers it worked well with the spritzing.

Do you want to see this technique in person? Contact me to schedule your in-home workshop.

Stamps: Well Scripted, Medallion
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo
Ink: Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry
Other: scallop trim border punch, big shot, lots of tags sizzlit, wide oval punch, sponge dauber, ribbon, embossing powder

Crazy For Cupcakes With Chunky Glitter

Sometimes I find the chunky glitter a bit harder to use creatively. On this card I used the chunky glitter over sticky strip just to accent the Rich Razzleberry card stock.The cupcakes, from "Crazy For Cupcakes", are water colored with ink and the aquapainter. This is by far my favorite way to color lined images.

Four Square Birthday Card

I am having so much fun with birthday cards. This fairly simple card was made with the Four Square set from Stampin' Up!. The paper squares are made with the scalloped square punch and the Sweet Pea paper stack. One amazing benefit of the Sweet Pea paper stack is that you have so many beautiful choices of paper that coordinate and work well together.

Did you notice the great little embellishment. It was made with the Boho punch and one of the great new Chocolate Chip Epoxy brads.
