National Lighthouse Day

 Happy National Lighthouse Day.  To show my love for lighthouses,  I combined 2 of my favorite Stampin Up stamp sets: High Tide #143006 and  Beautiful You #143004. Creating landscape scenes is usually not my style but I had fun with seeing how to use masks to create the whole scene and I was happy with how it turned out.  For the girls dress I stamped the image on a piece of scrap DSP, fussy cut it and dressed the girl in a sundress!

Pop of Pink Birthday girl

 Black and White cards speak to me and are my favorites to make because you can add a pop of color to make a bold statement.  This card features the now retired Pop of Pink DSP from Stampin Up. I dressed the stamped Beautiful You girl #143004 stamp set using scraps of melon mambo and white dots from the Pop of Pink DSP collection. The sentiment is one of the fantastic expressions from the Beautiful You  stamp set the fonts are just as gorgeous as the lovely ladies.

In Color Celebration

 I wanted to make a card to showcase all the new In colors (2017-2019) from Stampin Up: Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, and Tranquil Tide.  I used the now retired Botanical Blooms stamp set and coordinating Botanical Builder Framelits  to make a bunch of flowers and leaves.  I used the fabulous new Wood Textures DSP #144177 as the background and added 2 pieces of 5/8 inch Burlap ribbon #141487 to anchor the flowers to.  The sentiment is from the Beautiful You #143004 stamp set to create this bright and beautiful card.

Rainy Days

 To make this card,

Cammie combined three Stampin Up stamp sets- Beautiful You #143004, Weather Together #141543 and Gorgeous Grunge (retired). She used an  array of inks to brayer the background.  The bottom layer is textured with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #139672.

 

 

 

Gorgeous Girl

 Today’s card is a beautiful card using the Stampin Up Beautiful You #143004 stamp set.  I stamped just part of the girl and then added a hand drawn gown with the Stampin Up Water color pencils #141709.  The whole card is added to a piece of pink glimmer paper.

Happy Dance

 Well today marks the last day to get Stampin Up items from the Stampin Up 2016-2027 annual catalog and the occasions catalog.  For this card I used the Cupcakes and Carousels DSP #141587 and stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful You #143004 stamp set.  I stamped the dancer on a square cut Stitched Shapes Framelits and matted it with a bigger scalloped square.

Brighter Days to come

Today’s post combines the soon to be retiring Cupcakes and Carousels DSP Paper Stack #142744 with the Beautiful You #143004 stamp set from Stampin Up.  I   combined 3 patterned papers to create the background.  I then stamped the girl with the umbrella on a piece of very vanilla cardstock and then 2 more times on scraps of Cupcakes and Carousels DSP.  I hand cut out the dress and the umbrellas and pieced them back onto the girl on the vanilla cardstock to dress her up like a paper doll.  I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful You on a circle cut with Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372.
