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.

 

 

 

Toad-ally in love

For today’s card, Cammie drew her inspiration from one of her other Valentines.  Cammie  created layers using inks and stamps; shetextured the background using the Water Color Wash #139538 background stamp and the Gorgeous Grunge # 130514 stampset. She stamped and punched hearts from various stamp sets. She added a thin strip of retired Valentine DSP behind the toad panel. For the focal block Cammie used the toad from the Stampin Up  Sublime #139309 stamp set and colored the image with the Stampin Write Markers and sealed his lips with a punched foil heart. What a toad-ally cute Valentine!

Dance Dance Dance

Life may not be the party we had hoped for, but while we’re here, we might as well dance. Doesn’t that stamp just say it all?  The all new Beautiful You #143004 stamp set from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog will get your creative juices flowing. Below is a sample of what Cammie did by just changing the dress color.

Valentine Treats

Today’s post is the Valentine treats that Cammie made for her husbands office.  She made the pouch using lots of texture. Cammie likes to create layers using ink and that minimizes the bulk.   Cammie textured the background using the Water Color Wash #139538 background stamp and the Gorgeous Grunge # 130514 stampset. She stamped and punched hearts from various stamp sets.  For the jar, Cammie used the Stampin Up Jar of Love #141587 stamp set and the coordinating Everyday Jar Framelits #141490 and the ribbon around the jar is actually a piece of retired DSP. She filled the jar with lots of different hearts and tucked a chocolate heart in the back pouch.

Sublime Valentine

 

There are lots of layers creating textures with this super fun Valentine.  Cammie textured the background using the Water Color Wash #139538 background stamp and the Gorgeous Grunge # 130514 stampset. She stamped and punched hearts from various stamp sets. Behind the adorable crab, Cammie cut a very thin strip of retired Valentine DSP.  For the focal block Cammie used the crab from the Stampin Up  Sublime #139309 stamp set.  She used the new watercolor pencils from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog to color the image and then added punched foil hearts in his eyes!

Paint Jars

For today’s card I was feeling very artistic and filled my jars with paint using the Stampin Up  Jar of Love #141587  stamp set and used the coordinating Everday Jars Framelits #141490 to cut out the blue jar. I added paint splashes using the Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge #130514 stamp set. The sentiment from the Painters Palette #141907 stamp set was perfect to tie it all together.

Vintage Thanks

The thanksgiving season is upon us and todays card is a real Vintage beauty.  Cammie chose a beautiful fall palette for this card and textured the square element using the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #141493.  She stamped the  leaf using the Stampin Up Vintage Leaves #138802 stamp set from Stampin Up.  She then sponged and hand cut out the leaf and added a piece of linen thread before adding it to the dijon square that was textured using the Gorgeous Grunge #130514 stampset. The cajun craze strip was textured with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #127821. She added the sentiment from the Suite Seasons #142206 stamp set.

 

Pinecone Pineapple

Cammie started out with a clean slate and then added layering  with her go to stamp set for adding texture- Gorgeous Grunge #130514.  To make the pineapple, she used the Pretty Pines Thinlits #141851 from Stampin Up and added a vellum punch piece to anchor her pineapple and added Gold Metallic Thread to add instant dazzle to her card.

Perfect Pear

Cammie is definitely a still life artist with today’s post. The pears are from the now retired Apple of My Eye stamp set from Stampin Up.  The pears are distressed using the Gorgeous Grunge #130514 stamp set to add just enough texture to bring the pears to life on the brayered counter top.

 

Berry Sweet Basket

Strawberry season is here and to celebrate Cammie made a sweet Thank you card.  She started with a piece of the now retired Farmers Market DSP from Stampin Up.  She used the Gorgeous Grunge #130514 stamp set to distress the strips of crumb cake cardstock and then wove the strips into a basket. She added a piece of crocheted ribbon (retired) She filled the basket with hand cut strawberries and leaves stamped using the now retired Apple of My Eye stamp set. To add texture to the strawberries, Cammie used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp.  The tag was punched out and the sentiment was from the Stampin Up Crazy About You #138856 stamp set.
