Pyramid Wedding Card

Ok, I saved the best for last.  This was the card that it seemed the audience liked best.  I have to say, I like it a lot too!  Check my last few posts to see other samples of a pyramid card.

Happy Birthday Pyramid Card



I tried to do a variety of samples for my pyramid card demonstration so for this one, I stamped in StazOn and colored with a blender pen.

Pryamid Card

Last weekend, I went to one of my favorite Stampin' Up! events of the year.  My very talented group of local stampers holds an annual Spring into Stamping event in Champaign.  It's a day of stamping demonstrations, swaps, make-n-takes and prizes!  I was able to drive over with my friends, Rae Anne and Jane, as well as catch up with so many of my stamping friends that I don't see often enough. 

I was asked to demo and really loved this idea from Linda Gutierrez.  I made a few samples to share with the group so you'll want to come back and see the rest this week. 

With 3 squares of cardstock, you can make a pyramid card that fits into a standard envelope but will stand up and create a dramatic statement for your recipient.

Triple Embossed Birthday Card

 
I made a few tweaks to this card I saw on Pinterest to use the supplies and cardstock I have.  It is simple but very striking!  Here's Carol's original.  And here's my Pinterest board of cards if you'd like to see a few of my other internet favorites.

Color Refresh

 
In 2010 when Stampin' Up! did the big color refresh, they shared plans for smaller color refreshes every 3 - 5 years.  Well it's been 3 years and here are the new families for the 2013-2014 catalog!  You'll notice that most "new" colors are popular In-colors from past years.  I think they have done a great job because even though some of the retiring colors are colors I use a lot, I am so happy to see some of the colors that are being added to the collection.  You'll also notice a brand new color - Smokey Slate!
 
The retiring colors are only going to be available while supplies last so please order the colors you can't live without soon!  In the past, some retiring colors went fast.

Viewmaster Spring Card

I have always wanted to do a Viewmaster card, and when I got the Spring Sampler stamp set, I knew it was time.  We did this card last month in Stamp Club.  I made mine strictly spring, but many of the club members used Easter images and made it into an Easter card.  I used Dawn's video for my directions, and it went together pretty easily.

Sale-a-bration Treat Box

Did you get the Happy Hello Simply Sent Note card set during Sale-a-bration?  Here's a great use for a few of the cards that still leaves plenty for traditional cards.  Barb designed this box and included video directions.  It goes together quickly and is a great size for a small little something for a special someone.
