So Much to Love

 Today’s card is all about Abstract Impressions for creating a card with a lasting impression.  I paired the Garden Impressions #146289 DSP with the Abstract Impressions #147513 stamp set from Stampin Up to make a card with a statement.

Share What You Love Florals

 The Floral papers in the Share What You Love #146926  Specialty DSP collection from Stampin Up.  I especially love this piece of the handpainted flowers in the blue greens,  For this card, I used lots of layering card stocks (tranquil tide, mint macron and white)to bring out the rich colors of from the floral piece.  The Mint Macron layer was textured using the Layered Leaves #143704 Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the sentiment I stamped the image from the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519 stamp set onto a Stitched Shapes #145372 piece and I added a piece of Tranquil Tide ribbon to add a little texture to an otherwise simple layout.

Best Mom Ever

 Today’s post is another Mothers Day card I made using the Apron of Love Bundle #145986 from Stampin Up paired with the Tutti-Frutti DSP# 145606.  Although this card was intended for mothers day, the Apron of love stamp set has other sentiments that could be exchanged for mom.

Mothers Day card and treat

Happy Mothers Day to all moms!  What a rewarding job it is to be a mother.  Today I made a card and a matching mothers Day treat using my favorite Stampin Up bundle – The Apron of Love #145986 from the Occasions Catalog that will be carried over in the 2018-2019 Stampin Up annual catalog but it will not be bundled so get it before June 1st and save 10 percent. I used the Tutti- Frutti DSP #145606 to create the Aprons on both the card and the nugget treat holder.

May Good Things Grow

I have been trying to stay current with my My Paper Pumpkin kits but have fallen behind again.  Today’s post shows what I did with the March 2018 May Good Things grow kit.  The first 2 cards were completed as intended but the 3 cards on the right I changed.  The 3 cards on the right were intended to be the envelopes for the cards and I just did not like that idea so I tore them about and made cards from the leftovers.

Whole Lotta Lovely Basket

 Today’s card features the soon to be retiring Whole Lotta Lovely DSP #144110 from Stampin Up and is the perfect card for Mothers Day.  For the card base I textured the background with the Basket Weave Textured Impressions Embossing Folder that was available during Stampin Up’s annual Sale-a-bration campaign. Good news the Basket Weave TIEF will return with the new 2018-2019 annual catalog starting on June 1st. The basket of flowers is from the retired Blossoming Basket stamp set.

Tutti-Frutti Quilt

The Tutti-Frutti DSP #145606 from Stampin Up just makes me smile.  I used it to make a quilt style card just simply by using all the fruity papers with the Stitched Shapes #141708.  The sentiment is from the coordinating Fruit Basket #145833 stampset.
