Elements of Style

I cased this card from Dawn Griffith. (Her website is always great!) This set called Elements of Style is the only one I got from the Summer mini, but I will probably use it a lot. I also used the Smooch Spritz on this card, but I seem to be heavy handed with it. I need to spray from farther away I think, but I'm always afraid it will get on the carpet.

New Colors

I made this card using the samples of the new core colors that SU! sent all demonstrators. The colors are Marina Mist (blue), Daffodil Delight (yellow), Cajun Craze (rust), Early Espresso (Brown), and Cherry Cobbler (red). I used the flower fusion sizzlit, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, and the Elements of Style set that will be available in May when the summer mini starts.

SU! Color Renovation

Stampin' Up! has just announced that there will be a color renovation with the new catalog (July 1). Many current colors will be retired, while new colors are added and a few of the past in colors are brought back. Guess this means I need to go rearrange my stuff. :)

Beautiful Wings

This card is for a co-worker who is getting married next month. Her colors are turquoise and brown, so that's what I used here. I used my Beautiful Wings embosslit to get all these cute little butterflies. The sentiment is from Whimsical Words in the SAB brochure. The ribbon is from one of the designer original collections, with a corduroy button on one side of it. The DSP was from the Holiday mini. I also put 2 butterflies on the inside piece, and the large turquoise butterfly on the outside of the envelope.

SAB sets

These cards are for SCS260 and SCS261. I used Whimsical Words and Birthday Whimsy (from last year's SAB) on the first card. On the second card, I used the Good Neighbors set. The DSP on both cards is from the Welcome Neighbors pad in the SAB brochure.

Sketches and New Stuff

The first card is for SCS263. I used the Sending Love Specialty Paper from the mini. One side of each sheet is glittery.

The main image is from the Vintage Labels SAB set. I also used the new Real Red Satin Ribbon, and a RR button. The second card is for SCS262. I used the same DSP as the last card. The flower is from the mini. It's called Sweet Pea Stitched felt. The flowery background behind the felt piece is from the Vintage Vogue set. It is stamped in Chocolate Chip which I stamped off first to make the color a bit more subtle. I also used new Old Olive Satin Ribbon.

Sketches on a Snow Day

I had time to stamp today since it was a snow day! The first card was for SCS251. I used the new set With All My Heart (in clear mount) and Friends 24-7 from the main catalog. The second card is for SCS259. The Thanks piece is an embosslit cut out of Rich Razzleberry, with Shimmer Paint wiped on top of it. It looks kind of strange in the picture.
