A Fond Farewell to In Symmetry Stamp Set & Sweet Symmetry Paper (ck out easy fun fold here)

 

My color combo today includes:  Night of Navy, Flirty Flamingo & Vanilla

Retiring StampinUP Stamp Set-- Celebrate With Flowers (Annual Catalog pg. 62)

 

It is very rare to find a vertical sentiment, but I love this "Happy Birthday" from the Celebrate with Flowers set.  On this card I also used the Simply Elegant designer paper and Black Twine.  The card base is Thick Vanilla, and Real Red was used too.  I fussy cut the flower after stamping that separately on a scrap of vanilla card stock.



 This creation has the same vertical birthday greeting from the same retiring stamp set (pg. 62 in the current Annual Catalog).  I also used the Hello Ladybug set and matching punch.  Other StampinUP products include:

--Checks & Dots Embossing Folder

--Black Glittered Ribbon

--Layering Circle Dies

--Matte Black Dots

--Regals 6 x 6 Designer Paper Assortment


Thank you for stopping by.  Your blog visit is always appreciated!  LORI

Don't You Just LOVE Designer Series Paper from StampinUP? (my motto is: "You can never have too much DSP")

 

The little strip of DSP on this card comes from the Pattern Party pack (pg. 171- current Annual Catalog).  I also used the Hand-Penned Stamp Set & matching dies.  The white pc. of card stock was embossed with the Texture 3D Emboss Folder (retiring).   My colors of choice on this creation include:  Pool Party, Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo and White.



 For this card, I used 2 different packs of DSP.  (Pattern Party and Sweet Talk for the tiny bit of purple stripes).  Both the flower image and sentiment come from the Color & Contour stamp set.  My color combo consists of:  Black, White, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.

 

What do you think of the cards today?   I just love all of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper from Stampin'UP.  Wait until you see all the brand new selections of DSP in the new Annual Catalog!!  Remember, my motto above--lol

Shaded Summer Stamp Set (StampinUP) Shown on 2 Card Samples Today!


On this card, I used 3 of the retiring In Colors  (Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Bumblebee).  The stamps came from Shaded Summer (pg. 75 in the current Annual Catalog).  I really like this stamp set w/ the great sentiments, so I'm happy it carried over into the new catalog.  AND come May 3rd, we can also get the Summer Shadows Dies to go along with the set--YAY!!




Yes, I did "fussy cut" these flowers!!  Like I mentioned, I won't have to do this too much longer because I will be ordering the Summer Shadows Dies when the new catalog starts in May  : )

 

 Thank you for blogging by.  I hope your Easter weekend was spent with family and friends.  Until the next time, Happy Stamping everyone!!  LORI

2 Cards Today Featuring the Easter Friends Stamp Set by StampinUP

I used the masking technique on this card to add Balmy Blue Ink for the sky around the bunny.  A blending blush was great for this look (love them!!) The Easter Friends set has a grassy image so used that of course with Garden Green Ink.  Here are a few more StampinUP items used:

--Heart & Home Designer Paper

--Strawberry Builder Punch

--Stitched Rectangle Dies

--Messages Dies

--Silver Metallic Pearls

 

 


 I used the same featured stamp set on this card but different critters of course than the bunny above.  No need for coloring here since I did the stamping on Daffodil Delight card stock.  Just added some Pumpkin Pie to the beaks and feet!!


If you have any stamping questions, please ask.  I would love to hear from you with any comments too so feel free.  Your blog visit is appreciated......LORI
