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. 

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. 

Freshly Made Sketch #72

Hello Stampers!  Hope your Saturday is going well.  It was a busy day for me, spent most of the day cleaning the house, although my craft room is still messy.  Hmm...creative chaos can be good right?  Well, in my disorganized mess I had room to create a card to play along with a sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I'm a bit late to the party as I'm barely playing with the More Amore Specialty DSP from the Spring Catalog.  I love the colors in this DSP! I'm having fun with the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating framelits dies!  The Cloudy Day EF is quickly becoming one of my favorites!  The love cup is from A Fitting Occasion stamp set and the sentiment is from Tiny Tags.

So go check out the other creations at Freshly Made Sketches here, lots of inspiration. Thanks again for stopping by!  

The Paper Players Challenge

Good morning stampers!  I know-morning!  Got up early today for a quick challenge post. I came across this sketch from the Paper Players and I had this card in mind!  Of course I used all Stampin' Up! products!  Go check out the creations from the design team here.  I'll come back later today and add what I used.  Thanks for stopping by.

Updated: So I played with the new hearts a flutter stamp set and coordinating framelits from the Spring catalog! I love both items! I know I'll be using them more.  The base of the card is raspberry ripple and the dsp is the retired Halloween from the holiday catalog.  I created the roses using our 1 1/4 scallop circle. It makes the right size roses.  I layered them on top of the large heart. The sentiment is from the pennant parade.  I really like the way it turned out, all thanks to a cool sketch.  I think I'll try stepping up this card by adding a bit more layers. Thanks again for stopping by and for your cool comments.
