Simple Beauty

Its the simple  things in life that make things fun,  I made today’s card in a jiffy using a scrap piece of now retired Color Theory DSP.  I stamped a daisy using the Daisy Delight #143669 stamp set and coordinating Daisy punch #143713 from Stampin Up.  I finished by adding the sentiment from the Colorful Seasons #143726 stamp set.

Colorful Seasons

 The background paper for today’s card is from the now retired Color Theory DSP from Stampin Up.  I stamped the images from the Colorful Seasons #143726 and cut a chair from the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits #143751.

Happy Celebrations

Today’s post is another in my Just Retired card class.  This card features the now retired Happy Celebrations  Stampin Up stamp set and the retired Colored Theory DSP Paper Stack. I simply just stamped the HAPPY and then hand cut the letters and placed them on a strip of the DSP.  I added another sentiment and randomly punched stars for a masculine birthday card.

Panda-monium

 Happy 60th birthday to our sister and my Stampin Up Upline Cammie!! For today’s post, I cut thin strips from the Color Theory DSP #144193 to look like bamboo and then added the adorable pandas from the now retired Party Pandas stampset.   I love this card because it reminds me the wall paper from my childhood bedroom.

Memories and More card

 For today’s card I used a card from the Stampin Up Memories and More Color Theory Card Pack #144210 to create this simple card.  The Color Theory Card Pack contains 52 Double Sided cards that are intended to be used for scrapbooking and memory making.  The 4″ X 6 ” cards are perfect for creating card fronts  and combining with other coordinating supplies to create a quick and easy card.

 

Pocket Money Birthday

 Happy birthday to my 22 year old son!  No birthday is complete without some pocket money.  This card features the Pocketful of Sunshine #143719 stamp set and the coordinating Pocket Framelits #143750.  The Color Theory DSP #144193 serves as the background for this fun card.

Holiday ball

 I made this  super delicate glass ornament for my Christmas in July workshop but held off posting until closer to Christmas.  I used a glass ornament and cut snowflakes from the Seasonal Layers #143751 Thinlits.  Before Cutting the snowflakes I adhered a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive sheets #144106 to the  the wrong side of the Color Theory DSP #144193 and then cut the snowflakes.  Once cut I simply pulled of the backing to create a sticker and applied directly onto the clean and dry glass ornament.  I added rhinestones to the center of each snowflake and for more sparkle, I added some Stampin Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter #133751 and a piece of white satin ribbon to hang this beauty.

White Christmas

 Today’s post is the Christmas post since it is the 25th of the month and will kick of a series of Christmas cards thru the end of Nov and into December.  This card starts out with the Color Theory DSP # 144193 and I stamped the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons # 143726 Stampin Up stamp set.  I also cut snowflakes from the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits #143751.  The sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of Color Theory DSP using the Half Full stamp set.

Wonders of Fall

 Fall is definitely my favorite time of year in central Ohio and this year the fall colors were absolutely stunning and lasted longer than normal. I captured that beauty by starting with a piece of the Stampin Up Color Theory DSP #144193 and stamping it with leaves from the Colorful Seasons #143726 stampset.  I added leaves cut from fall colors scraps using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits #143751 and a bow from the soft linen thread.  The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stampset and is the perfect sentiment for fall!

Blessings Pouch

 I needed to make some fall treats to put my annual blessing harvest mix in so I made a pouch from the Color Theory DSP #144193 from Stampin Up.  I added a trio of the gorgeous leaves cut from the Seasonal Layers #143751 Thinlits.  I filled a cello bag with the blessing mix and had a festive treat.
