Birthday

Flower Patch Razzleberry Flower

My sweet mother-in-law, Ruby, had a birthday party on Sunday. I wanted to make her a special card. A flower from Flower Patch is embossed with clear embossing powder and Rich Razzleberry ink and cut out with Flower Fair Framelits. I love making a stem with the cute and funky “line” from Tin of Cards. The 1″ Dotted Lace Trim in Cucumber Crush makes fun leaves. The swoosh of grass is from Sheltering Tree. The center white piece is popped up with dimensionals. I almost always decorate the envelope to match. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the Brights Color Collection.

I think Ruby liked her card! Please leave a comment at the top of the post and let me know what you think.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Your Presents-Birthday

Here is another make and take from the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Convention. The card shows how the stamp set, “Your Presents” is so versatile. It looks like a totally different set using it as a birthday card. Another thing I really liked about making this card was doing the Kissing Technique to make the plaid present. I’ll make a video to show you this fun and easy technique.

I’m also happy that Stampin’ Up brought back Silver and Gold Cording Trim in the new 2015 Holiday catalog. Customers can order from this catalog beginning September 1!

Blessings,

Beth

Pals Blog Hop: In With the New…

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for June. This month we are excited to show off new Stampin’ Up! products from the just released 2015 – 2016 annual catalog. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. Get your wish list ready!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from

Tricia Chuba at ButterDish Designs, number 28 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

One of my new favorites from the 2015-16 Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Gift Bag Punch Board. This gift bag fits about six A2 cards and envelopes. The directions for altering the bag came from Sara Levin. Please leave me a comment if you would like the instructions to make the gift bag. I also really like the new 1″ Dotted Lace Trim. You can get this Lace Trim in all the new In Colors.

I also made four cards using the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set. This is my favorite “Host” set. You can earn this set by hosting a party or purchasing $150 or more.
