Stampin' Up! ~ Penned & Painted Birthday

I created today's card for this month's stamp a stack using the stamp set Penned & Painted.  You could actually use this set to create your own DSP pretty quickly.  I think my background kind of looks like I used some DSP, but it was a little boring with just that.  So to change it up a bit I cut out one flower and two leaves and popped them up with dimensionals.  Just by adding a little bit of dimension it changed the card.  


I also used a few rhinestone jewels inside the popped up flower and clear Wink of Stella in the middle of all the other blue flowers and the tiny ones too.  I just could NOT get my pictures to show the sparkle much at all though. :(  That really adds to the card, but that's the way it goes sometimes!




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Stampin' Up! ~ Noel

It's been a while since I've posted a Christmas card on my blog.  This week at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday we have a fun sketch for you and the optional technique is beading or anything holiday related.  Since I'm a little behind on my Christmas cards I thought I'd work on a few of those.  It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I used gold Wink of Stella on my flowers.  They're so shimmery and pretty in person!  


Here's this week's sketch challenge #282.  Make sure you check out all the other great cards the designers made HERE and play along if you get a chance. We always love to see what you create!

Stampin' Up! ~ Happy Birthday to You!

Today's card is one that I made for my niece's birthday.  I asked what her favorite color was and I was told "Lovely and sparkly...so sparkly". lol  Well I made it sparkly!  I actually made two cards one for my niece that is turning three and one for my niece who turned one...and I forgot to take a picture of the second card...err!  It was exactly the same except the butterflies were Real Red, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.  Wink of Stella sure can make things sparkle! :D


I used clear Wink of Stella, but the color of paper you put it on changed the look of it a little.   It might not seem like it in the pic below, but the orange butterfly looked kind of like dazzling diamonds, the pink one looked slightly gold and the purple one looked a touch like silver.  Not that I'm complaining because it was exactly what I was looking for!

Stampin' Up! - Garden in Bloom

Today I have a sweet card for you inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge # 268 using the Stampin' Up! set Garden in Bloom.  I think I've only used it one other time and that was just to use the butterfly.  Today I used almost every stamp from that set!  


The sketch is a fun one with hexagons on it.  I have to admit that I never bought that punch so I was stuck doing a little fussy cutting because these were the flowers I wanted to use.  Do you ever get an idea with a stamp in your mind and nothing else will do?  That was the case here and I have framelits and punches I could have used if I just would have picked another set! lol  Make sure you check out the other fun sketches over at Try Stampin' HERE and play along if you get a chance.  We would love to see what you create!

While I was at my craft table working on my card one of my daughter's saw the colors I was using a said she really like them.  Do you ever just need a little pick me up like that?  I sure do and it was a nice vote of confidence. :)  These are the colors I used...




At the last minute I remembered that I had Wink of Stella and wanted to add a bit of shimmer so I added it to the middle of the flowers, the bee's wings and the butterfly's body.  It's hard to see, but the first picture shows it the best.  Just a little touch of something extra like that can make a card pop!  I added the bee and butterfly inside as well just for the fun of it. :)
