Today is the day!!

Two ink pads, some paper, and a stamp block .

Anyone who knows me, Knows that I love a good alphabet set! And this one is awesome!  The font is beautiful!  The stamps work together so easily.  Just imagine beautiful envelopes, personalized card backs or gift tags, or specific sentiment

The Share What You Love Suite not only honors the statement of the heart,  its products celebrate Stampin’ Up’s 30th anniversary.  So pearls it was. The Share What You Love Designer Series Paper was hand watercolored by one of Stampin’ Up! artist with shimmer watercolors to give that pearl look

I also knew I had been dying to use the Lovely Floral Dynamic Texture Impressions Embossing Folder!  This embossing folder is beautiful!

So, on to the card!   I decided on a color combination taken right from the Designer Series Paper.  Mint Macaroon, Grapefruit Grove, and Blackberry Bliss.  Mint Macaroon and Blackberry Bliss are two former In-Colors that are returning as part of the base color collection from Stampin’ Up!

Make A Difference

  • The first thing was to emboss the Mint Macaroon with the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder.
  • I knew in the back of my head that I wanted to use the dots from the Designer Series Paper, so the second step was to combine the embossing and the dots….aka figure out the design
  • I also know that I wanted to use the Make A Difference stamp set. So, I decided on a simple sentiment.
  • The final step was to add texture and embellishments

Make A Difference

  • The Hello was stamped in Basic Black on Whisper White.  Then it was cut out to make a banner. The final step was running the edges through the Grapefruit Grove ink.
  • The doily was sponges in Mint Macaroon. And then in a different spot I used the light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.  I tried inking it first very heavily in Grapefruit Grove.  But, it did not dry.  The blend worked very well.  And the very light sponging did as
  • The White twine that is part of the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit was added to the sentiment .As well as the metal rose
  • The bakers twine in the embellishment kit was separated into the two colors behind the Hello Banner
  • The final thing was to add some of the Share What You Love pearls.

Some friendships never die.  You may live miles apart or only talk every once in a while. But boy, when you do it is like a day never went by!   My bestie from 1st grade, I have been missing something awful. So, of course I had to make her a card . I moved  after second grade. We kept in touch by writing each other all the time. We were amazing pen pals.  We would visit each other most summers.  Miss You, Dawn! Hugs and love ?

One of the stamps, I was most excited about in the Up Coming catalog was the new Host set Hand Delivered

Hand Delivered Stamp Set

This set is so fun! I love the style of the skirt and how she is drawn.  I adore the font ! Most of all, I love that you can put different things in her hands .Balloons, a cake, books, and even a personalized sign!! So perfect!!

Miss You

  • The girl was stamped with memento black. Then colored in with the Stampin’ Blends
  • The Miss You was stamped inside the sign .Don’t you just love that font .
  • The Designer Series Paper is from the Tutti Frutti Paper Stack.  This stack has some awesome patterns in it!

The next thing was to decorate the envelope!   I used the same Designer Series Paper on the flap! Then stamped Miss You on the outside along with the little flowers that are in the Hand Delivered Stamp Set

Miss You

This one time I decided not to color in the flowers . I kinda felt like they were perfect just black and white . But, you most definitely could color them ?
