Pear Pizzazz

Have you heard they are bringing back Pear Pizzazz with the new catalog!

And who doesn't like Pear Pizzazz with Soft Suede?

• The card base is Whisper White layered with Pear Pizzazz then Soft Suede ant then Whisper White.
• On the Whisper White front I stamped the phrase from Loving Thoughts in Soft Suede.
• On a scrap of Whisper White I stamped En Francais in Soft Suede that had been stamped off once. Over that I stamped the flower from Love & Sympathy in VersaMark and embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. I sponged Pear Pizzazz over the image then ran it through the Big Shot with the Ovals Collection Framelits.
• Last of all I popped the image up on the front with Dimensionals. 

So are you happy that Pear Pizzazz is coming back? 

Ornament Keepsakes

Remember this card from this post? I made it again but changed up the colors.

• The card base is Real Red, the front is Whisper White sprayed with Frost Shimmer Paint spray, ran through the Big Shot with the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder.
• If you watched the video I plainly changed the fell of the card. I used Real Red with the En Francais  stamp and Gumball Green on the Ornament Keepsakes ornament.
• I layered the image on Gumball Green.

These cards work up real fast and are fun to make.

Here is a non stamping project that I have just finished working on.

Happy Easter!

 I thought a Springtime card would be nice.  These remind me of the Cherry Blossoms that are in bloom now.

• The card base is Whisper White with a front of Petty in Pink. An opening was cut with the Label Framelit in the front of the card base and cut the next lager size into the Pretty in Pink front.
• With Versamark  En Francais was stamped  on the Pretty in Pink piece.
• On the inside of the card the lager image of flowers from Bordering on Romance  was stamped  with Stazon and stamped it a second time onto a scrap of Whisper White. The image was colored with Ink and a Blender Pen. 
• Two flowers from the stamping on a scrap piece was cut out with snips. and adhered with Mini Glue Dots around the opening.
• Mini Pearl Jewels were colored with a sharpie and added to the flowers on the front of the card.

I hope you like the card. Have a wonderful day.

A Wedding Card

I think this must be a CASE but I can not find the card if it is, I try to keep a file on my computer of cards that catch my eye, some because of color combos, some for there layouts and some to just plain copy. This card is not in that folder and I can'r find one with Goggle, I just don't think I came up with this on my own. Now with that disclaimer are you ready to see what the heck I am talking about?  Well here it is. . .

So have you seen this card somewhere else? If so link to this so I can see it. If not maybe I am better at card making then I thought ;).

One of these cards was cut 4 1/4" x 11" and one 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

For this card

• The card base is Whisper White 4 1/4" x 11" folder in half
• En Francais was stamped in Versamark then onto the front, then covered with gold embossing powder and heat set.
• On a piece of CS Vellum cut at 4" x 5 1/4" I stamped an image from Elements of Style in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold, this was attached to the front with two Mini Glue dots in the upper corners then a satin Whisper White Ribbon was tied around it to cover where it is attached.
• On a scrap of Whisper White Mr & Mrs from Tiny Tags was heat embossed Gold I then cut it out with the smallest Heart Framelit. It was layered onto the next larger heart cut from Brushed Gold CS. I small hole was punched in the heart and it was threaded onto some non Stampin' UP!(I've had for years and don't even remember where it came from) wire edged ribbon that I tied around the Satin ribbon the then wrapped the ends around the paint brush that comes with the Embossing trays.

A fairly Elegant card!

Gold & White Wedding

This card uses 3 different stamp sets.

• The card base is Whisper White cut at 4 1/4" x 11" folded to make it the standard 4 1/4"x 5 1/2". The front was stamped with En Francais inked with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.
• The Vellum CS over lay is 4" x 5 1/4" an image from Elements of Style was stamped with Versamark and embossed gold. It is attached at the top to the front with 4 mini glue dots. A Whisper White Ribbon is knotted around the front covering where the glue dots show through the Vellum CS.
• Using the Hearts Framelits a heart was cut from Brushed Gold and a second smaller one from Whisper White.
• Mr & Mrs from Tiny Tags was inked with Versamark and stamped onto the smallest heart and embossed gold, then it was attached to the Gold Heart. the Hearts were attached to the Whisper White Ribbon with a scrap of wire edge ribbon I had in a scrap box

P.S. I Love You- En Francais

Here is another of the Valentine cards I delivered to a local store.

• Card base is Crumb Cake, a front of Whisper White with a Cherry Cobbler layer that was ran through the Big Shot with the Starburst Embossing folder.
• On a piece of Whisper White I stamped the background stamp En Francais with Crumb Cake, I also sponged the edges with Crumb Cake.
• On a scrap of Naturals White I stamped the phrase from P. S. I Love You in Cherry Cobbler and punched it out with the postage Stamp punch. I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake and added it to the front of the card.
• I over stamped the stamp with the post mark from P. S. I Love You in Cherry Cobbler.
• I decided to add the post mark from French Foliage as well this is in Crumb Cake stamped on the back ground piece.

I have been using a lot of retired sets to make cards for the order I delivered to Stokes (a local store here in my town). I will show those in the coming days, it was fun to pull out old favorites and play with them.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
