Card from Sherrie

Good morning!!!   I wanted to share this beautiful card I received from Sherrie!!  She is my "upline"--which means that I signed up as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator under her.  She is in Ohio, and I sure do miss her!!  She sends me great cards, gifts, etc all the time!!  She's just the best!

Sara's Swap Card

Here's the last of the swap cards!  This was created by Sara--isn't it beautiful?!  She used the Rock and Roll technique on the big center image.  To do this, ink the large medallion stamp with soft sky ink, then gently roll 2/3 outer edge with groovy guava ink;  finally, roll the outside edge in blue bayou ink;  stamp image onto blue sky cardstock.  (thanks, Sara, for including the directions!!!)

Here's my interpretation of this week's sketch challenge!  I didn't stamp at all!  I used the new Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up!  It's a great kit, with wonderful colors!!  And, it has the textured cardstock--see the red cardstock?!  It's beautiful!!!!

The kit comes with:

1. 2 sheets of Bashful Blue textured cardstock: 12x12
2. 2 sheets of Pretty in Pink Textured cardstock: 12x12
3. 2 sheets of Real Red textured cardstock: 12x12
4. 2 sheets of Wild Wasabi textured cardstock:  12x12  (this is a new In Color color)
5. 6 sheets of exclusive Designer Series papers
6. 6 sheets of exclusive, self-adhesive die cuts!

Happy Stamping!

Brenda's Swap Card!

This is my new favorite set!!!  And, I don't even own it!!!  I have seen soooooo many great ideas using this set--someone even made a ladybug from the petals!!  Anyway, this is the card Brenda did for our New Catalog Set Swap!!

Brenda used:

Cardstock:  Whisper White, River Rock, So Saffron & Wild Wasabi

Ink:  Elegant Eggplant, Sage Shadow & So Saffron

Misc:  Corner Rounder punch, 1 1/2" circle punch & Oval coluzzle for stem

P.S.  Have you noticed all the River rock being used?  It's very versatile, and will "match" just about anything!!

Card by Selene

I recently participated in a swap using new sets from the 2007-08 Fall-Winter Catalog!  Here is one of the cards I received:

Selene used the Three for You Punch Box--love those little flowers!  The cardstock is Basic Black, Soft Sky & Whisper White.  She also used the new Prints Designer paper in Soft Sky.  Other items used were dazzling diamonds glitter, black brads & black gingham ribbom.

Such a pretty card!!

Beate's Sketch Challenge #10

Hi!!  I have been stamping all day!  We're having our first Card Club meeting this Friday night, and I've been "creating" all day!!  I'm pooped!! :-)  I'll post the cards next week sometime!

Here's a card I did for Beate's sketch challenge.  You can see the sketch here.

I used the new Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' Kit.  It's soooo pretty!!  And the textured cardstock is to die for!!  There are 8 sheets of the textured cardstock in each simply scrappin' kit!!  No stamping involved at all on this card.  I did use some whisper white cardstock behind the striped piece, and behind the sentiment.  Other than that, it's all from the scrappin' kit! 

Happy Stamping!!
