Petal Parade with Scalloped Tag Topper Punch

This was a fun card to make, with just a little decorative paper, a little stamping, and a little punching!

The stamp set is called Petal Parade, and it is one of the free products I earned with a $50 purchase during Stampin' Up's Sale-a-Bration promotion.
The DSP matches the stamps in the Petal Parade stamp set.
The Scalloped Tag Topper punch is a new product that is available in the current Occasions catalog.
Other: 1/8 inch black taffeta ribbon, Snail adhesive.

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, and Sahara Sand.


I'm so glad you stopped by today. I hope I've provided some inspiration for your next  card.

You're Lovely get well card

This little card was made with one of the free sets you will be able to choose when Sale-a-bration begins January 26.  It is called You're Lovely.  The stamp set features this framed  floral as one of the stamps.
I stamped it in Crushed Curry ink and accented with a pumpkin pie marker.
I used the Get Well sentiment from the hostess set Express Yourself, available as one of the Hostess choices in the Annual Catalog.  It was stamped with Wisteria Wonder ink to match the same colored background cut out with the Deco Labels framelits.


Here's another photo showing the matching envelope which was made with the Envelope Punch Board.

Fresh Vintage fun

Here's a fun card to make with the Fresh Vintage stamp set that can be yours for free with a $50 purchase of other SU products!
This card also uses Baroque Motifs stamp set to compliment the swirls in the Fresh Vintage image.
The Circle Scissors Plus was used to cut the circles from Whisper White and Pool Party card stock.
Other papers include Soft Suede card stock and the Everyday Enchantment Designer series paper.  The DSP is another free product you can earn free with a qualified purchase.  Also available as a free selection is the Everyday  Enchantment ribbon and brad pack, which is showcased here with the 1/8" organdy ribbon that you see tucked behind the soft suede card stock.
I love how the Scallop Trim Border Punch finishes off the bottom edge of the card.

Inside the card you'll see the Fresh  Vintage flower image stamped lightly in  Pool Party ink.

Another image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was stamped and cut out before placing on the strip of   papers along the bottom edge. 
I was pleased with the way this card turned out.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop  by my blog today!                   

Elementary Elegance sneak peek

I just received my pre-order and free Sale-a-abration set.  I used this lacy frame from Elementary Elegance to make a thank-you note.
The basic card was made with Crumb Cake card stock.
The lower edge of the card was embossed with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder. 
The pretty frame was stamped in VersaMark ink and embossed with gold E.P.
I wanted to use the Elegant Thank You stamp but it didn't quite fit into the Curly Label Punch, so I turned the punch a quarter turn and punched it out on an angle.  Soft Suede card stock was used for the punched piece.
The rick-rack trim was cut from Brushed Gold card stock using the Tasteful Trim die and the Big Shot.  The edges of the trim were rubbed across the VersaMark pad and embossed with gold E.P.

On the inside, I trimmed a scrap from the brushed gold card stock that was cut for the rick-rack trim and used it to top the edge of the emossed section. It's always fun to decorate the inside a little bit.

I think this free stamp set is going to be very versatile! 

Thanks so much for visiting  my blog today .

Punch Bunch Owls

Have you picked your favorite Sale-a-Bration set yet?  I'm thinking this Punch Bunch stamp set is one of mine! 
I stamped two of these little owls and punched them out with the owl punch.  I used Basic Black for one and  Basic Gray for the other one.  The Extra-large bird punch was used to make the branches.  After I put them on the branches I decided it looked like an Anniversary card, so that's how I picked my sentiment.
The card base was cut with the Sizzix clear Square Scallop die (115950) using Basic Black card stock.  A piece of Basic Gray card stock was used for the Bigz scallop square die layered onto the black.
The circle was cut out with the Circle Scissor Plus using Daffodil Delight card stock.
I used the Modern Label punch for the Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment.  This card went together very quickly after I decided what I wanted to make. 
Now I'm ready to try using some of the other stamps in the Punch Bunch stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by today.
