Sweet 16

Hello Hivers,

I made this card for my son to give to one of his female friends.  She was celebrating her 16th birthday.  I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.  So it is kind of a CASE but not really. LOL

I love the Dapper Denim and the Lemon Lime Twist colors together.

Don't forget the New 2017-2018 Catalog goes live tomorrow.  Make sure you have your wish list ready to fill out.  So many fun new products.

Delightful Mother's Day - 2

Hello Hivers,

This is the second card I made using the Daisy Delight stamp set.  I used the same color theme as my card I shared a few days ago, which is Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, and Night of Navy.  This time I also added a few touches of Old Olive. I will soon be working with the coordinating Designer Series Paper. Have you seen?  The DSP?  It is beautiful.

Just Playing Around...

Hello Hivers,

I was just playing around with the Eastern Palace Suite and some card layouts.  This is what resulted.

I know I can find someone to give this card to.  #mix&match

Sunflower Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,

I have a few more Mother's Day cards to share with you.  I know many people only send cards to their own Mom...but I like to send them to my friends and family, as well.

This card was made for my aunt.  It is actually one of the first cards I made using the Eastern Palace Suite of products.  Still loving the bright colors.

Happy Number of Years

Hello Hivers,

I made this card for a very special couple.  Thier wedding anniversary is the day before my anniversary.  I used the Number of Years stamp set to create this beauty.  I love the way it turned out...especially since I came up with it all on my own.

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Hello Hivers,

These cards were CASE'd from Pinterest.  I know I saved this as a pin and I can't find it.  Ugh!  This always happens.  I know I will see it later.

I made the card in the back for my sister.  Today is her birthday.  The cards are the same...I just reversed the colors and used different sentiments.

Enjoy Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,


I made this card for my sister-in-law on Mother's Day.  I can't say enough about the Eastern Palace Suite.  It just gives me joy.

Do you see the little dots on the blue circles?  I made that by dropping a little of the glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

A Note for Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,

I wanted to try something new this year.  I wanted to make the majority of my Mother's Day cards be non-traditional.  So when you look at the front of this card...it doesn't say or look to be for Mother's Day.  But...it is!  The inside is full of wonderful Mother's Day greetings and messages of love and appreciation.

Hello Sunshine

Hello Hivers,

I am in love with today's card.  I made this card for one of my sisters on Mother's Day.  I just love all the bright colors.  The new Lemon Lime Twist is just Gorjus.

The Eastern Palace Suite is so diverse.  I am so happy that I decided to purchase this Early Release Bundle.  Stampin' Up! products can easily be mixed and matched with each other.  Like I did here with the Eastern Palace Suite along with the Sunshine Wishes thinlits.

Happy Anniversary

Hello Hivers,


Today my husband and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary.  This is the card I made to give to him.  I had a lot to say so I needed a card with three panels.  I saw a tri-fold card on Pinterest and went to work with my creation.

The Eastern Palace Suite was perfect for this card...as our wedding colors were green and gold.  I used the new Thick Very Vanilla cardstock as my card base.  I also used the Number of Years stamp set along with the coordinating dies.  The Rose Wonder stamp sets along with the Layering Ovals and Bunch of Banners framelits added the finishing touches.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Hello Hivers,


Happy Mother's Day.  I hope you all have a great day spending time with your loved ones.  I plan on being spoiled and pampered.

I got the idea for this card from Mary Fish.  I used the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper stack along with the Crazy About You stamp set.  I really like how the middle flowers are stacked on dimensionals.  I fussy cut different layers of the same flower to stack them.

Flowers for Mom

Hello Hivers, 

I saw a very similar card like these two on Pinterest.  Yes, I am CASE'ing again.  But, as always, I have made a few changes to make the cards my own.  I used several stamp sets to complete these cards.  I used You've Got This and Gorgeous Grunge for the background.  The Jar of Love stamp set was used for the jar, fireflies, and the flowers.  The sentiment came from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit...A Sarah Thing stamp set.

Forever Friends

Hello Hivers,

Don't you just love this sentiment?  I used one of the new In Colors (Fresh Fig) on this card.  I paired it with Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  I added a touch of Silver Glimmer Paper and Rhinestones for a little sparkle.

Enjoy your Friday.

Crazy Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,

I LOVE this card.  I can't believe how well it turned out.  The images and sentiment are from the Crazy About You stamp set (retiring).   I fussy cut each layer of the flower and popped them up with dimensionals...I did the same with one set of the leaves.  I used a the Falling in Love DSP because I thought it was perfect for this project.

Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack and all the Retiring Products.  You don't want to miss out.

Easter Palace Rainbow

Hello Hivers, 

This is one of several cards I made using the Eastern Palace Suite of products from Stampin' Up!.  I saw a card on Pinterest that used a variety of colors in behind the medallion...I had to CASE that part.  I must say, this suite has really jump started my MOJO.  I have so much to share with you all.  The colors I used on this card are:  Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, and Dapper Denim.
