Wherever You Go Card

I think Stampin' Up! has done a great job adding several new stamp sets that can be used to make masculine cards to this new catalog.  Rae Anne came over last night and needed a Father's Day card so out came this brand new set.  This card is nearly like the card in the catalog, but there is something about having the real card in your hand vs. seeing it in the catalog.  I love it so much more in real life.

Black and White Thinking of You CASE

 

For my August Stamp-a-Stack, I planned to do 3 of my favorite swaps.  This card was one the first one I decided on, and to my delight, when I turned it over it was made by my friend, Faye Colwell!  My stampers loved the black and white color scheme.

Kind & Cozy Button Jar

It's hard to tell, but this cute little jar is full of buttons.  I was looking for a quick little Stampin' Up gift and the Kind & Cozy stamp set made it easy.  The gingham ring fits the jar lid perfectly, and all I had to do was dress it up with a piece of Costal Cabana ribbon.

Butterfly Thinking of You

I have always found black and white cards to be dramatic, but when asked if I could make this into a baby card, I made one in blue, yellow and pink too.  With the Elegant Butterfly punch that coordinates with the new Papillon Potpourri butterfly set and the new Fancy Fan embossing folder, this card went together quickly.  The white craft ink takes a couple minutes to dry so stamp first, then make the butterflies and then you are ready to run it through the Big Shot.

Take Two

Here's a slightly different version of the card we are doing this weekend.  I am kind of in the pattern of making more than one but changing it slightly.  Here's another version of a card I posted a week or two ago.  This change is bigger and changes the card entirely.  Click here to see the original.

Lovely Lilac Thinking of You

I am on a Lovely Lilac kick, but this is another great set to use for all occasion cards and lilac just seems to be a good all-purpose color. I am sure there is a name for this fancy fold... but I can't tell you what it is :-) I just like to do one of these every once in awhile because it is a bit different and unexpected when someone pulls it out of the envelope. If you are not someone who likes to be wordy on the inside, this card is for you! Check out the inside when you pull the front piece to the left. There's just enough room for a greeting and your name.  

I originally got the Thoughts & Prayers set because I liked the get well and sympathy sentiments, but I really like using this stamp for any occasion. Just like my last post, you color directly on the stamp with markers, and it's a quick and easy way to make a striking card.
