Flowering Meadow + July Product + Summer Classes

Happy Friday!!!  It's hot here in the desert and summer has arrived.  I try go out early in the morning or evening.  With the wind blowing, it feels like you're walking into an oven!!  Stamping is a great distraction to the heat and it keeps me cool in the house (with the ceiling fan, of course).

Product of the Month for July--available for $5 with $75 purchase

Summer Class Dates:  
Mon. 7/6 @ 5:30 and Tues., 7/7 @ 9:30
Mon. 7/20 @ 5:30 and Tues. 7/21 @ 9:30
Mon 8/3 @ 5:30 and Tues., 8/4 @ 9:30
Mon. 8/17 @ 5:30 and Tues., 8/18 @ 9:30

This card (thanks Barb Brimhall) gives me the feeling of a cool morning with everything in bloom.  Love our purples and they go well with the new In Color, Peaceful Pine.  Using strips from the Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper as the background adds to the beauty of the card.  

These stamps use the Two-Step Stamping Process that allows the flowers to look layered and dimensional that easily fit together to create a finished image. This set has great details that show up beautifully.

Tips--when stamping the larger flowers, stamp onto scrap paper first before stamping onto the card--creates lighter image.

Easy Sunset Coast Card

It's Friday, so let's have an easy-peasy card.  The Sunset Coast dies offer a Lighthouse cut-out and a Sailboat cut-out.  Stamp a sentiment and layer onto colorful DSP that you've got on hand.  Add a bit of ribbon and you end up with an easy and colorful card for any occasion.  

I had leftover Berry Botanical Garden Vellum (Product of the Month from May) and it looked wonderful with the die cuts.

FREE Shipping + Life in Bloom

 JUST A REMINDER---FREE SHIPPING ENDS SATURDAY!!

Shop at inkyfingers.stampinup.net.  Order must be $75 or more.  Your order will cover cost of stamp class next Mon/Tues, if your coming.

Life in Bloom---ready to use the NEW Impressions Plate?  This card uses it and the result is a beautiful card.  Thanks to Marcie Besecker for the idea!


Look at the frame and you'll see that not only was it die cut, but it also has texture added to it.  First you die cut the frame, then you run it through your machine using the impressions plate.  Phrases & Frames Dies works perfectly for this.  In Color DSP is added to the back of the frame; The sentiment was stamped in black and then cut apart (it's a BIG saying); mount it onto cardstock; stamp the vase with flowers; color with Stampin' Blends and die cut it out; add the die cut bow and some embellishments and you've got a card.  Be sure to have lots of dimensionals on hand!  I used a bunch on the frame with DSP--good thing to add to your shopping list with FREE Shipping.

FREE SHIPPING + Words & Wishes Card

 

FREE SHIPPING TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY!!! Simply go to inkyfingers.stampinup.net; login to your account; and SHOP!  Orders must be $75 or more.

I love using "nest-able" dies and Everyday Arches fit into that group.

Add them to beautiful Floral Charm Designer Series Paper and it's easy to create a gorgeous card.  Thanks to Ann Verillo for the idea.  This stamp set has lots of sentiments for the inside of the card, too.

The cake is stamped in Timid Tiger ink and then lightly colored with both the light and dark Petal Pink Blender Pens.  Happy Birthday use Blackberry Bliss ink.  The "birthday" is punched with the Three Banner Punch, using only the center punch.  Enjoy (and yes, we're making this card next week in my class).

Artisan Sketched Garden

 Stampin' Up! creates the BEST Designer Series Papers!!!  This card (created by Barb Brimhall) really highlights using that paper.  

The three potted flowers are colored and then fussy cut (no dies) from the DSP.  You have a variety of choices as to which potted flowers to use and what to color them because the paper is ALL black and white.  The backside has different black and white designs ( I used the dotted one).  Just color in with Stampin' Blends. Add your choice of sentiment and you can create a card for any occasion.  Shop HERE
Have a great weekend~~~Susie
