ELIZABETH



Today I'm showing two cards made with the Elizabeth Stamp Set.  This card is made by Kim Medlock from Marietta, GA.  Kim uses the Framed Tulips Textured Embossing Florder and the 13/4 Scallop Punch.

Unfortunately, we always need Sympathy cards and the Elizabeth Stamp is used here to frame our Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment which is punched using the Large Oval Punch.  Ink is Chocolate Chip and Card Stock Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.  The Perfect Polka Dots  and Framed Tulips Textured Embossing Folders are used with the Big Shot.   This card was made by Debi Kyle and cased from Sue Ryiko.

Build a Blossom

Not only do I have a thing for the deep red tones but I love the Elegant Eggplant as well.  Here it is used with Whisper White which really sets it off.  Sharon L. Williamson used the Build A Blossom Stamp Set and Curly Label Punch along with the Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder to make this card.  Embellished with three pearls.

Herb Expressions

One really nice thing about going to Regionals or other SU Events is you get to know nice people.  I sat at a table with Kathy Wiley, a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, from Florida at the Orlando Regionals and enjoyed getting to know her.  Here Kathy created a card using the Herb Expressions Stamp Set which carried over to the new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.  She used Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black, Very Vanilla to make her card.  The Embossing Folder, Elegant Lines provides a nice background.  Sorry its a little blurred today.

Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch Featured


This card can be used for any and all birthday celebrations.  Very generic and simple but nice.  the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch is used to make the four candles.  Saying is from the Heard from the Heart Stamp Set and the Perfect Polka Dots provide the background on a Night of Navy card.

Remember $2.00 for each Strength and Hope Stamp Set sold goes to Breast Cancer.  This set is currently in the Summer Mini and is available until the end of August.  The Square Lattice Embossing Folder is used for the background on Blushing Bride and Chocolate Cardstock and Ink set off the rest of card.  Also Crumb Cake cardstock and binding are used.  I like the little heart bunch used with this set.
