I Miss You!

I wanted the top layer of this card to stand out from the main focal point so I put it on dimensionals.  The airplane and banner is also on dimensionals.  I love to use them, they add so much to a card.

Ain't Love Grand?

In Murfreesboro, TN

Hi Stampers,
Visiting my little granddaughter in TN for a few days but I did bring the lap top so I could continue to post card samples for you.

We arrived in the rain yesterday but today looks like it is going to be beautiful.  Headed out to see the Nashville Sound play today.  I bet you thought we were going to hear some country music right?  Wrong!  Nashville Sound is a baseball team.  You know we can't go anywhere without Jack getting his baseball fix.

Enjoying our family.  More tomorrow!  Hugs, Patti

Happy Birthday Doily

I didn't want the doily to overpower the card so I cut 1/4 of it off at the top so the ribbon could share the spotlight. LOL  I think these little pink rhinestones are so cute but you can only get them as part of the designer printed Kit on page 18 of the mini, which BTW, ends on April 30th.  If you want them, order now.

Supplies: Stamp Set;  Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess set) 122617.  Paper; Melon Mambo 115320, Confetti White 102028, White White 100730,  Letters to Santa DSP 122349.  Inks; Early Expresso 119670.  Embellishments; Big Shot 113439, Paper Doily Sizzlits Die 125592, 1 3/4" Circle Punch 119850, 1" circle punch 119868, Scallop Circle Punch 119854, Stampin' Dimensionals 104430, 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain ribbon 125057, Designer Printer Kit Rhinestones 125410. 

Summer's Coming

What do you think of when you see watermelon, Ice cream cones and Cherries?  Summer of course.  I love this set and hope it makes it over to the big catty.  I used this project as a make & take for my downline meeting.  I got the idea for it from another demonstrator, Carrie Rhodes.  Thanks Carrie for the inspiration.  I did make a little matching case to go with it, but unfortunately forgot to take a picture of it.

To see THE LIST OF SETS click on the retiring sets on my side bar.  Contact Me  for more information.

PLEASE NOTE: I suggest if you have trouble reading the first list, click on the excel list below, which is easier to read.  Hugs, Patti

Twitterpated Vintage

My favorite card to create is a vintage type card.  I love antiques and old things and I guess that is why I gravitate towards the vintage technique.  The flower is not stamped but from the DSP.  I did used quite a bit of embellishments on this card.  I sponged soft suede on the torned edges to resemble burnt paper.

Get Well Greetings

The Summer Smooches items are only available for the month of April, so if you want any of these beautiful items, don't wait until the last minute.  You know how that works if they sell out.  I cased the lattice idea on this card from a Demo on Stampin' Connection, the rest of the card is my own.

The White Peony

I am really going to miss this Twitterpated DSP when the end of the month comes, and just like the SAB dsp, I am trying to use as much of it as possible before I have to say goodbye to it.  Also, I am not sure if this stamp set will make it into the new catalog.  Hope so, it is so lovely.

Make Your Own Background Paper

Another great technique you can do with our stamps is make background papers to match   the theme on your scrapbook pages, cards and decor elements.  I took one of the stamps from this set and stamped the whisper white background to match the main focal point.

Supplies:  Stamp Set; Bordering on Romance 125482.  Papers; Whisper White 100730, Baja Breeze 111352.  Inks; Baja Breeze 111833, Blushing Bride 119786, Pear Pizzazz 119784.  Embellishments; 1/2" Poly Stitched Ribbon 119267, Scallop Punch 119854, 1 3/4" Circle 119850, Big shot 113439, Embossing Folder 125601, Edgelits Dies 125595.
