You Dazzle Me

 Today’s post is a simple one using a piece of retired Stampin Up DSP.  I added a touch of the new Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, ink and ribbon to make it pop! The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Pocketful of Sunshine #143719.

Late Grad card

 Today’s post is the last of the graduation cards I made for the 2017 season. This card is simply but packs a punch and signifies not only the end of a school year but the start of a new one.  I used the Stampin Up Large Number Framelits #140622 for the numbers and I rolled a piece of scrap  white textured with a retired TIEF into a diploma.  I added the graduation cap using a 1″ square punch and a modified circle.  Good Luck to all graduates in 2017 and to all kids starting a brand new new school year.

Tool Cool

 I needed a quick summery birthday card for a young boy so I decided to go the cool route using the Stampin Up Tasty Treats DSP (retired) as the background. I added the sentiment from the Cool Treats #142982 onto a Stitched Shapes Circle element #145372. Simple, Cute and Cool is just the way summer birthdays should be.

Hammer Time

As  always  I needed a masculine birthday card so I went to my go to masculine stamp set.  The Stampin Up Nailed It stamp set and coordinating Build It Framelits are retired but I love them too much to stop using.  I paired the stamps with the Warmth and Cheer DSP and the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create a real manly card.  I added the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes #128748 stamp set to complete the card.

Wood you be my friend

 This card was the easiest one I have done in a while but I just wanted to showcase the Stampin Up Wood Textures DSP #144177.  All the papers speak for themselves and need nothing more than a sentiment to complete a very masculine card.  The sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree #137163 Stampin Up stamp set.

Sweet Watermelon card

 I love getting the My Paper Pumpkin kits from Stampin Up in the mail each month and was so excited for the One in a Melon kit except it was intended to be used as a gift bag.  I decided to cut the bag down and use it for the background layer.  For the main panel, I just stamped the images to make my watermelon slices every which way. Super cute and easy.

Lazy Days of Summer

 In case you did not know, today is national lazy day.  So I guess that gives us the right to kick back and do nothing. I did not intentionally make this card with lazy day in mind but it is perfect to go with the day. Life is truly a beautiful day when there is sunshine, a drink in a red solo cup and a lounge chair.  Perfect ingredients to kick back and people watch! This card features the Color Me Autumn DSP that is now retired from Stampin Up.  For the main panel, I created the scene using the swoosh for the dirt from the  Sheltering Tree # 137163, the chair, drink, and sentiment from the Colorful Seasons #143726 and the sun is from the Swirly Bird #141749 stamp sets all from Stampin Up. The extra bit of yumminess on this card is the new 1/4 inch copper trim from Stampin Up.  It is so wonderful to work with because of the loose weave and zig zag stitching!
