Playing with 2016 Stampin' Up new products

I decided to try some partial die cutting after watching a video that jennifer mcguire had made.  I had to change it a bit but the idea is still the same.  I used a new stamp set and die bundle - Floral Phrases stamp set and Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies  selling together with a 10% discount!!  This is such an elegant die and the stamp set is so lovely also.  I used some new metallic thread and the metallic Enamel shapes.  I have pared up the sweet sugarplum (new in color) and the rich razzleberry.  To give it a softer look I've used a very vanilla base.  Now I need to go and use this die the way stampin' up shows with the detailed cutting on the edge.  It has a BEAUTIFUL DSP paper that matches - night of navy and whisper white patterns. 

Here is it laying down.

I've got it standing up here and you can see a peek on the inside.

Well that's it for now, but I'll be back!!!   :0)   thanks for stopping if you ever want to leave a comment I sure would appreciate it!!

Copic coloring for a birthday girl!

I'm back with another card!!!  my niece had a birthday the same day as her nephew :0)  This past Monday, the 20th.  I knew when I made this card that I'd send it to someone special and she is...special.  I hope she had a great birthday.

Try Stampin On Tuesday #276

Hello everyone, it is time for another great challenge here at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  I love how this one could be so versatile, able to lend itself to so many different occasions.  I pulled out a new stamp set for me and the new 2016-2017 Stampin' Up Catalog.  I always need birthday cards and decided to make one that would work for men.  I send a lot of them out as there are so many men in this family.  Polka Dot Balloons!!!  love them and the many saying in this set, and how it goes with the new banner framelits!!
                                                            Theme: Polka Dots

I used the Birthday Banners Stamp Set,
Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Soft Sky inks
Blooms and Bliss DSP,  neutral candy dots, Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies
(I made the clouds in the back ground with a paper towel and sponge)

Click this challenge number and it will take you to the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Web page   # 276    That would be where you would add your great take on this card sketch challenge, I do hope you'll play along with us!  THANKS for stopping by,  Vicki
                                                           

Happy birthday Gavin

Hello again, Vicki back with another card imaging that :0)  I made this for a great nephew who is turning 4 today.  I received this die (memory box) from a dear friend that I love to stamp with - Thank you so much Carole.  It was fun to make!!!  Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Father's Day!!!

My Father has a BIG fish tank that he enjoys. That was the thought when I made this card.  I started with doing the Bokeh technique on the background with 3 blues, the rest just fell into place.  Sometimes a card comes together nicely, I like this one and I think he will also.  I'm wondering if  it would have worked to put some hair jell in the bag in front of the card to make it appear more like water?  Hmmm maybe I'll have to try that sometime.

Ahoy Mates

Here is a card that I used the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies on (this goes with the Swirly Bird stamp set). I didn't have the stamp set when I made this so I had to make my own sailboat. ( I now have the stamp set, yea!!)   My sister's husband loves to sail so I thought this was a good one to send to them, they signed up for some larger sail boat classes and they both passed with captain status.  It is a slider card so if you tip the card the sail boat glides across the water :0)

Card Making with Carole #3

    Have you ever looked at a stamp set and thought, oh I'm not sure about this one?  THEN you begin to see all the different ways it is used and you now just have to get it?  We'll that's what happened when I saw this Swirly Bird stamp set bundle.  I really liked the big shot dies that come in this bundle but just wasn't sure on the stamp set.  I've changed my mind!!  It is a great set for making a variety of cards for all occasions. A GREAT one for ALL the people in your life, male and female!!!
