Cards by Stampin' Up! Friends

I love to add cards to my blog that have been created by my Stampin' Up! friends ~ they provide INSPIRATION to all of us.  The first card ~ the handsome rooster with the fabulous embossed tile background is by Katy Bryant.  Thanks for sharing Katy!

Lynne Henderson used the stamp set and die bundled together ~ Best Dressed Suite on page 54 - 56 in the Spring Mini catty.  More about Lynne and this stamp set coming soon!

My clever friend, Dixie Murafsky, sent me this card a while back and I hadn't posted it so here it is!  I had to include it because, of course, it is absolutely PURRRRFECT for today!  Those Meer Cats are so funny!  Thanks Dixie!

And, then there is my friend, Barbara Schweiger, who has been stamping her little heart out!  She is used to being very busy with school children every day but I think she is adjusting well ~ look at all she has accomplished!

 

And, I know that there are many of you who have the Timeless Tulips Bundle (page 43 in the Spring Mini catty) so here is a Project Sheet to get you started.  I want to thank everyone for letting me share your fabulous creations on my blog ~ a big virtual thank you hug!

Rainy Day Crafting w Stampin' Up!

'No Matter the Weather We're Friends Forever'  just one of the appropriate (and, loved) sayings in this stamp set on page 42 in the Spring Mini catty.  And the stamp set is bundled with a punch that has two sizes of the umbrella and, of course, the handle.  Just what you need on a day like today.  Cheer up ~ I hear tomorrow will arrive with lots of sunshine!

Project Sheet Tuesday

This bright card uses the TECHNIQUE ~ MASKING.  You will make a mask using a large post-it note, stamping the butterfly and cutting it out with your SNIPS.  Next you will stamp the center butterfly on the Whisper White cardstock and cover it with the mask.  Stamp two more butterflies.  When you take the mask off you will have these three to color.  The Project Sheet suggests using Blends but other possibilities include the retiring In-Color markers that we talked about yesterday ~ Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Pineapple Punch.  You can find this stamp set, BEAUTIFUL DAY, on page 131 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.
