Follow My Heart...

TGIF Stampers! So glad it's Friday! It's been a long week, work wise but a fun week creative wise. I have a new card to share with you today.  I used the Follow My Heart stamp set and combined it with Perfect Pennants. Love it!

The base of my card is Coastal Cabana, layered with Crumb Cake. Did you know that the Banner Punch, which isn't available until the Sale-a-Bration catty, January 28 coordinates with the mini XOXO banner stamp! Gotta love it when our Stampin' Up! products coordinate so well!

Below are the rest of the images in the Follow My Heart stamp set: 

Thanks for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow as I have swaps from the new Occasions Catalog to share with you. Until next time. 

Fab Friday Mashup

*Edited* A huge thanks to Cindy from The Friday Mashup!, she picked my card as her favorite! Thanks Cindy! 

Hello Stampers!  Happy Wednesday to you!  I'm looking forward to Friday already and I have a fun creation celebrating Fridays with you today.  I've combined two blog challenges into one card; Friday Mashup and Fab Friday!

I had fun creating this card.  I used the color combo from Fab Friday and the sketch from Friday Mashup to create a spooky project. My card has some retired and new items, but it all works! Thanks for the inspiration Fab Friday and Friday Mashup!

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "the Sketch."
2. Create a "Spooky" project.
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Spooky project using the above sketch. "

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!  Until next time.

Happy Fall (belated)

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Although Fall has officially began this past weekend, true Fall weather in Phoenix is still month away. So let's escape the heat through paper crafts. What are you looking forward to the most with change in season?

We have a new color challenge at Nacho Average Challenges starting today. I think it's perfect for a fall theme card, or at least that's what I chose to do.

Hope you will play along with me and my fellow Nachos. Come check us out for inspiration with the beautiful color combo. Can't wait to see what you create. Thanks for stopping by today. 

More Sneak Peeks...

Hello Stampers.  Happy Monday. If you have the day off today for Memorial Day, hope you are having a great Monday. I spent part of the weekend working on some swaps for my sideline group.  We were to use new stamp sets from the upcoming 2013-2014 Annual Catalog so I have some sneak peeks for you today.

For the first card, I used a new background stamp set called Wildflower Meadow, which is gorgeous!  And it coordinates with an embossing folder also called Wildflower Meadow. Such a great combination! I didn't use the entire background, just part of it.  Can you see the embossed part of the card? Isn't cool! So many possibilities with this combo.

My color combo for this card was Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black. I layered the Melon Mambo with the Pumpkin Pie Polka Dot DSP. I also used a new Hostess stamp set called Banner Greetings. I know it will get used a lot. The sentiment reads "Thankful for you". A little bling on the flowers adds a nice touch.

This card is very different from the other one, but I love the simplicity of it. I wanted the banners to be the focus of the card. I paired Banner Greetings with the Hearts of Flutter banner stamp set. So happy this stamp set is still in the new catalog! I used the similar color combo from the card above, except I added Pacific Point.

Two different cards using similar color combo with new stamp sets. Did I tell you the new Annual Catalog goes live next Friday, May 31st at Noon (MT). I can't wait! Thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time.
