Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper Used Here For 2 Black & White Cards

On this B & W card, I also added some Polished Pink. Stampin' Blends were used to color the DSP which is normally black and white. Besides the featured Perfectly Penciled paper, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The sentiment comes from Inspired Thoughts stamp set.

This masculine birthday card also uses the Perfectly Penciled designer paper. I added 3 of the Matte Black Dots and the owl and sentiment come from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set.

Please let me know if you have any questions and/or comments. I would love to hear from you!! Thanks and have a great holiday weekend. LORI

Techniques 1 and 2 (Floating Frame Card & Faux Wood Burning)-- 2 Fun Projects

I used a window sheet for this creation. Then simply added every other scrap pc. in a different color card stock (Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis). I used a Layering Circle die to cut out the center and then made this card. The rest of the window sheet was decorated as well of course for a different look on a 2nd card. Unfortunately, I sent out that other card without taking a picture-- duh!! This was definitely my favorite of the 2 cards though, and it was nice to get 2 separate projects just by using the "Floating Frame" Technique.

Here is a list of StampinUP products used:

--Amazing Thanks Dies

--In Color Matte Dots

--Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

For this card, I used the "Faux Wood Burning" Technique. The Stamparatus was used to ink the flower and sentiment exactly in the same spot 3 different times. After that, I used a Water Painter to bleed out the Early Espresso Ink a little bit. Then the vanilla card stock dried just a smidge, and when it was still damp, I put the pc. thru the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for some texture. Bingo Bango!! A very simple technique and I totally "cased" this idea from demo Sharon Armstrong.

If you have any questions about either technique or the products used, please let me know. Thanks very much for blogging by!! Lori Helvick

The cute little raccoon comes from the Wild & Sweet set shown on pg. 87 in the current Annual Catalog. Cole & I made a "Critter Card" video a week or so ago, and that is shown in my Facebook private group.

Framed Occasions Stamp Set by Stampin'UP Used Here Today w/ New Colors

Color Combo includes: Parakeet Party, White, and Orchid Oasis

I did some "tearing" all the way around the white pc. of card stock and both sides of the Orchid Oasis card stock as well. Random stamped images from the Framed Occasions set were done in the Parakeet Party In Color.

I used a Stampin Write Marker to get the word "thankful" and left off "we are friends". You can view this Framed Occasions set on pg. 33 in the current Annual Catalog.

Tiny holes were punched on both sides of the card front and then I tied a couple bows using the new Metallic Woven Ribbon in the Parakeet Party color.

If you have any questions on this creation today, please contact me here or at:

stampinfool2006@yahoo.com

Thanks, and have a great Sunday everyone. Happy Stamping!! Lori

Daisy Garden Big Background Stamp by Stampin'UP w/ just a POP of COLOR!

This Daisy Garden stamp carried over to the new Annual Catalog. Unfortunately, the Bumblebee Trinkets and Bumblebee Ribbon did not. (I've had this card ready to post for awhile, and just forgot about it). I added a very light touch of yellow to the center of the Daisies with a Stampin' Blend.

For These Cards Today, I used the Brand New Framed Occasions set from Stampin'UP!

The Color Combo for this creation includes:

Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide, and White

The flower and leaf images come from the Framed Occasions stamp set and the sentiment comes from the Nature's Prints stamp set. (used the Orchid Oasis Stampin'Write marker & omitted the other words) I simply tore the edge of the Orchid paper downhill to leave that rugged look. The new In Color twine finished this card off nicely I think.

This was a very simple Make N Take at my new Catalog Party and Bogo Sale event!! Attendees got to pick from these 2 colors or the Tahitian Tide option which is not shown here.

Again, the Framed Occasions stamp set was used along with the In Color twine. I absolutely LOVE black and white designer paper, so the new Perfectly Penciled DSP really completed these cards.

If you have questions, comments, or would like to get a copy of the brand new catalog please let me know. I would love to be your "go-to" demonstrator if you don't already have someone. Thanks very much for blogging by......Lori Helvick
