More Good byes for Greenhouse Gala DSP

Two cards today using the soon to be retired Greenhouse Gala DSP.  These bright and cheery cards were received in a swap.  That latter is made by Jane Starr.  When  you pull down the satin ribbon a secret message of Happy Easter pops up.  Other accessories used include the Two step Bird Punch, Eastern Blooms and Forest Friends Stamp Sets.  Both stamp sets will be retiring June 30.

GREENHOUSE GALA

The Greenhouse Gala, Designer Series Paper, is still available this month.  Stamp Set used is the Fabulous Floret which is stamped on Baja Breeze with Craft Ink, Chocolate Chip and then heat embossed.  A fun way to use the BAKER'S TWINE in the Summer Mini is to purchase the White and then color it using the Markers.  Here the twine is wrapped around the DSP.  Also used is the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Flower Garden and the Scallop Trim Punch.  This card was made at Denise Foor's (denisefoor.blogspot.com) Hostess Club.

Lattice Bigz Die

Show casing the Lattice Bigz Die today.  This Happy Anniversary card was made by Deb Tuinier.  It is amazing when you look at all the textures used by Deb.  Note the leaves behind the flowers are from the Heart Small Punch.  Thought this was a nice look for the month of June.

More Textured Impressions Embossing Folders

Thought I would show one more example using the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders we sell at Stampin' Up!  The Square Lattice is used here.  Card was made by Susan Cavas Smith from Florida.

Elegant Bouquet and Thank You Kindly

There is allot going on in this card and it all comes together beautifully.  This is a swap from Susan Barron from Alpharetta, GA.  Susan used a variety of Stampin' Up! items to make this card.  Let's start with the Thank You Kindly stamp set and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Elegant Bouquet.  She also used Fun Flowers Big Shot Die and the Modern Label Punch. 

SWEET TREATS for HOMEWOOD

I am planning a Community Volunteer Workshop for Homewood Retirement Community on June 14.  This is a card I cased and modified for the elderly residents at Homewood.  I used the Ice Cream Parlor from SAB this year and the Cup Cake, Little Heart, Scallop Circle and Modern Label Punches.  Did you realize that many punches were used on the front.  Amazing sometimes how many I can use in one card.  The Stamp Sets used are Teeny Tiny Wishes (a favorite) and A Word for You (inside card) which says Happy Birthday with a cherry on top.  Seemed appropriate.
I ran the Melon Mambo through the BIG SHOT Polk a dotted Embossing Folder and also used Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Pacific Point.  Ink used was Pacific Point.

EMBOSSLITS DIE - SIMPLE FLOWER

KEEP THINGS SIMPLE is something I often need to remember.  Here Nancy Jo Holycross did just that with this lovely greeting card.  Using the Embosslit Die, Simple Flower, a brad and the Little Leaves Sizzelit Die on page 210 she created this cared.

HEARD from the HEART and HEART to HEART

HEARTS and CARD STOCK Galore!!  This may be the most Card Stock colors I have ever seen in one card.  Gina Armstrong lined her hearts up in a row and used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Perfect Plum, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, and Peach Parfait.. WOW that's allot of different colors but don't they look nice as little hearts with Rhinestones on them.  Stamp Set:  Heard from the Heart and Punch, Heart to Heart. 

PERK UP LADIES!

My Mom is 87 and still drinks her piping hot, black coffee from morning till night.  This card used the Stamping Wheel, Take a Sip, and was created by Shannon Noonan who is a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I met online and wanted to meet at the Orlando Regional Event.  The crazy thing that happened is we swapped cards but didn't actually notice each other.  So many people and so much excitement.  lol  Cardstock is Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip Sation Ribbon.

Flower Garden Thank YOU

The Summer MINI on page 24 shows the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Flower Garden.  If you are looking for something to use with Stampin' UP! Pastels, this is the Folder to use.  Here I used a Q-Tip to apply Tangerine Tango and Garden Green to highlight the Embossing Folder.  This makes my Poppies POP.   Pretty Postage Stamp Set and Postage Punch was used to express my thanks.  Then I tied my bow in our lace from page 190 in the 2010 Idea Book and Catalog.

BEWARE Pirates!!!

Thought I would catch you off guard with this one today.  I have been posting allot of flower based cards because, well, I like them.  But in honor of my 6 year old Grandson, SAM, visiting us from Georgia, I decided to post a card a whole lot different today.  Cybil M. Hart from Kissimmee, Florida ( a place I visit often when I am visiting my son in Orlando) made this card using the Beware Pirates stamp set on page 87 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  Cardstock used are Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla.  Ink:  Night of Navy and sponged in Basic Black.  Very cool card Sam says!!
