I created this card using the Mojo Monday Sketch 88 as my starting point.
Card Recipe (All SU!) : Stamps - Fifth Avenue Floral (saying); Paper - Whisper White, Almost Amethyst, So Saffron, Tea Party DSP; Ink - Jet Black StazOn; Accessories - Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Certainly Celery Twill Tape, Pretty in Pink Brads, Crafters' Tool Kit
The only stamping on this card is the saying. I didn't plan for it to be that way but as the card came together it just happened.
The colors for this card came from the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. I chose the two different patterns for the card front, layered them onto Almost Amethyst and wrapped the seam with Certainly Celery Twill Ribbon. The flower image come from a third pattern of DSP. I used my paper snips to cut it out and then glued it to Whisper White CS and cut it out again leaving a small border. I attached them to the two So Saffron pieces with dimensionals and then added a Soft Subtle Brad in each corner. This whole piece was added to the front of the card using dimensionals. Finally, I stamped the saying from Fifth Avenue Floral with Jet Black StazOn.
Thanks for looking and leave a comment letting me know what you think.
Have a wonderful day and happy stamping!

This is one of the cards that I created for my Uncle's family, he recently passed away after a four year battle with cancer. The layout is an older sketch challenge, CPS#54, that was perfect to use with the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.
Since the main part of the sketch was the scallop frame, that's where I started. I used a 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Certainly Celery and punched the first row and then lined up at the corner and punched the second side and then the two remaining sides. The second, third and fourth sides are a little more challenging because you have to line up the punch differently. Just make sure you keep an even edge and it will come out very close to square.
For the sentiment layers first I stamped the words with Always Artichoke onto Shimmery White and then punched them out using the Scallop Oval Punch. Then I punched out two Close to Cocoa ovals using the same punch and layered then onto the back of the saying keeping one towards the top and one towards the bottom. The White Taffeta Ribbon hides where they meet.
For the inside I created another scallop square and then layered Always Artichoke and Confetti White on it. the tree image from Thoughts and Prayers was stamped with Certainly Celery.
Thanks for looking!
Have a wonferful day and happy stamping!

Here is a card I created using a modified version of the Mojo Monday Week #89 Sketch.
The balloon image is from Crazy for Cupcakes and was stamped on Watercolor Paper using Jet Black StazOn. I wanted to make sure that the images were placed well evenly spaced so I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position each one and then drew the designs on the zig zag balloon and the striped balloon using my Basic Black Journaling Marker. I used that instead of my regular Basic Black Marker because it is waterproof and wouldn't run when I water colored them.
The balloon with the circles on the outside and the balloon on the inside of the card were stamped using the Circle Circus stamp set (which will be available in the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog from Stampin' Up!) and then they were all water colored using an Aquapainter.
The scalloped frame around the birthday saying was created using my Scallop Edge Punch and the saying layer was attached using dimensionals. The final bit was to attach the White Taffeta Ribbon.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think. ;-)

Here is a card I created using the Paper Piecing Technique!
I really like this stamp but have felt limited because of the words of thanks that are on it. To omit them I took a Post-It Note and cut it down just enough to cover the words and then I inked up the rest of the image with the Black StazOn Ink. Before stamping it onto the paper, I removed the Post-It Note and voilà the words were gone!
To create the cupcake on the front of the card I used three of the different patterns from the Sweet Slumber DSP and when I attached them to the card I used dimensionals to pop the frosting up off the front. I added the ribbon to give it a present feel and to add a little dimension to the bottom of the cupcake.
To coordinate the inside I stamped the image (minus the words again) onto a piece of So Saffron CS, cut it out using my Paper Snips and then stamped the Birthday Wish saying in the middle using Black StazOn again.
TFL and I hope that you like it!
** Just a reminder that the Sweet Slumber Designer Series Paper is on the Last Chance List and will not be available after June 30, 2009. If you love it as much as I do make sure to order some now!

Sorry that it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I have been creating but with the warm weather, busy days filled with my daycare kids and evening baseball/T-Ball games the time has just been flying by. I'm sure that you all can relate!
Trendy Trees is a stamp set that I've wanted since the first time I saw it in the Stampin' Up! 2009 Summer/Spring Idea Book & Catalog. I love the simplicity of it but it's so versatile that you can use it to create cards and projects for all seasons and all reasons! Here, I've used it on a card holder that I created this week.
I wanted to keep the layout on the front simple so that it can be used for any occasion. It is created using one 12" x 12" piece of Chocolate Chip card stock along with 5 plain white envelopes.
It looks like a purse when it is closed but when you open it up there are spaces to hold at least 5 finished cards with matching envelopes (10 if the cards are thin)!
The white rectangle piece that you can see on the inside is sticky velcro that wouldn't stick! I bought a pack of light duty velcro tape to use because the heavier stuff is usually over kill on cards and paper projects but when I put it on the Chocolate Chip card stock it wouldn't stick. Every time I tried to open it up the velcro would come right off the bottom. I was ready to throw it away until I decided to read the directions and found out that it doesn't achieve a full bond for 24 hours. I've never heard of this before but set it aside and when I went to open it the next day it worked perfectly. Who would have thunk it! lol
Let me know what you think ~ TFL!
Have a wonderful day and happy stamping!
