You're Inspiring


I love shades of green.  Always have.  Always will.  Green sets off the yellow in the daffodils in the Stampin' Up! You're Inspiring set.  This year's catalog includes so many great shades of green, and I love how they all work together to create such beautiful projects.  



Today I pulled out one of the 6' X 6" sheets in the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stacks.  Looking at it I saw it worked with Old Olive and with Pear Pizzazz.  Adding a yellow element just worked with these colors.  For today's card, I used a basecard of Pear Pizzazz and then a layer of Old Olive, and then a layer of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper in shades of green.  

I then die cut a Lots of Labels shape and an Layering Ovals shape.  I stamped the daffodils in Tuxedo Black Memento, and used Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Blends markers to color the image. 

I love banner sentiments and found a banner outline in the Blooming Love stamp set.  I used a banner die from the Large Number set to die cut the banner. after stamping the Happy Easter sentiment from the You're Inspiring set.  

After I assembled the layers, I added a Pear Pizzazz ribbon and three different sizes of the Old Olive Glitter Enamel Dots.  I can't wait to make more of these cards.  I love how it turned out, and this is a card I know someone will be happy to receive.

Coffee Cafe Bundle is timeless

  • Coffee Cafe
  • Come make cards at the March 18 Card Class
  • Sale-A-Bration selections with a $50 or $100 order 

Coffee Cafe Stamp Set


I was looking through my patterned papers today to see what I hadn't used in a while, and came across a pack of Be Merry and a pack of Coffee Break Designer Series Paper.  Both include papers with Garden Green  so I decided to mix them and created this card.  The stamp set is one of my favorite, yet I haven't used it as much as I should.  Ever done that?  Buy a set, use it a few time and then let it sit while you play with the newer sets?    The Coffee Cafe set and the matching Coffee Cups Framelits include such cute elements!!   This is the first time in weeks that I haven't used Blends of my card.  If you're wondering if you'll use Blends enough to justify the investment, I can assure you that once you have them in your hands, you'll find many more uses for them than you first imagined!



I used a basecard of Crumb Cake, then a pattern from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  Then a pattern from the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper with a 3/8" Soft Sky ribbon tied around it.

The cup is stamped in Early Espresso on Whisper White.  The banner is die cut out of Early Espresso, and the die also corrugates the banner.  Then there is a Kraft corrugated oval and Kraft corrugated heart from the Corrugated Elements embellishment pack which are used as accent.

The sentiment is from the Coffee Cafe set.  Its stamped in Garden Green on Whisper White and die cut using one of the dies from this set.  I love that our inks give such solid coverage.  Buy the Coffee Cafe stamp set and Coffee Cups framelits dies together and save 10% by purchasing the as a bundle.
