Perfectly Preserved



I totally procrastinated last weekend when I should have been preparing for my Stamp Club. At the last minute, I had a great idea for a card using the new Perfectly Preserved stamp set. I scrambled around like a crazy person to get it ready for the ladies. I think I was still cutting pieces when they arrived. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Here is a photo of the inside:

Blushing Bride - Literally!

One of the ladies I follow on Pinterest has been pinning a lot of wedding ideas recently (you know who you are!). It is that time of year, you know. Well, it got me thinking about weddings in general and my wedding in particular. The color scheme for this card was inspired by my wedding. The bridesmaids wore a soft rose color and the groomsmen wore gray tuxes. Plus, this color is called Blushing Bride! Hmmm...

Here is a blast from the past - me with my siblings at my wedding...


Well, anyway, I have featured a number of retiring items on this card - Blushing Bride paper and ink, the beautiful lace border punch, and 2 stamp sets - Medallion and I {Heart} Hearts.




Stamping Vogue Tips:
  • Try changing out the colors on this card to coordinate with the bride's colors.
  • Or, change out the sentiment and use this as a Mother's Day card or a birthday card.


Supplies:
  • Stamp Sets - I {Heart} Hearts (W 117010, C 118571), Medallion (115223), Loving Thoughts (W 125843, C 125845)
  • Ink - Basic Gray (109120), Blushing Bride (119786)
  • Card Stock - Basic Gray (121044), Blushing Bride (Sold Out!)
  • Designer Series Paper - 2010-2012 In Color Patterns (117158)
  • Tools - Lace Border punch (122362), Small Heart punch (117193)
  •  Accessories - Basic Pearls (119247)

Retirement Parade Continues - 5-Petal Flower punch

My stamp club ladies know that I am a nut for punches. Largely, this is because I am lazy - too lazy to fussy cut much of anything. So punches are perfect for me. The coordinating punches and stamp sets are some of the many things I love about Stampin' Up! Today, I pay homage to one of the punches that is retiring at the end of the month - the 5-Petal Flower punch.


The sketch for my card comes from Sketch Frenzy Friday. I also played along with The Paper Players challenge this week. I chose diagonally - Flowers, My Choice (bling), and Designer Paper.





Supplies:
  •  Stamp Set - Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)
  • Ink -Basic Black (101179)
  • Card Stock - Pear Pizzazz (119795), Rich Razzleberry (115316), So Saffron (105118), Whisper White (100730)
  • Designer Series Paper - Pocketful of Posies (122354) 
  • Accessories - Basic Pearls (119247), Large Basic Pearls (125577)
  • Tools - 5-Petal Flower punch (119880), Boho Blossoms punch (119858), Modern Label punch (119849), Word Window punch (119857)

Digital Tuesday - Twitterpated Scrapbook Page

 Today's project was created in My Digital Studio using a scrapbook sketch from the Sketchy Thursday blog.




 Download the free 30-day trial version of My Digital Studio and give this sketch a try!


 Stamping Vogue Tips:
  • The page background is Crumb Cake. I used a technique I read about on mydigitalstudio.net to layer several of the Vintage Overlays in Soft Suede to create a distressed background.
  • The long rectangles in this sketch are perfect for highlighting the beautiful papers available in My Digital Studio.
  • The Twitterpated background pages provide the perfect color palette for these adorable pictures of my nieces. 
  • Use the square punch to create the long rectangles and fill them with designer paper. Rotate the rectangles until you get exactly the arrangement that you want.
  • The alignment tools allow you to arrange the photo blocks so that they line up perfectly.
 Digital Content:
  • Vintage Overlay Stamp Brush Set (121061)
  • Twitterpated Swatchbook template (125615)
