A Nice Cuppa for GDP 014

This card is a sneak peak from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog of the stamp set called A Nice Cuppa along with the Cups & Kettles Framelits Dies.  The colors are Basic Gray and Bermuda Bay.  The tea pot paper is from the Have A Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack that will be available on January 5 from the Occasions Catalog.  I love how the heart and tea bag can be cut out with the coordinating framelits. 

For the layout I played along with the Global Design Project #014.  The tea cup is embossed with the new Confetti Textured Embossing Folder from the upcoming Occasions Catalog.  And I used some basic gray twine for the tea bag string.  It turned out just too cute!  Here is the sketch to play along with...

Something To Wine About...

I love the colors on this card matching the design paper with all the roses.  My favorite color of rose is red, but a close second is yellow.  Cherry cobbler and mossy meadow card stock blended so nicely with these glasses of wine.  I thought the large oval punch layered over the extra large oval punch gives it a bit of a different style too.  I don't think anyone will wine about receiving this card :)  Be sure to stop by the vendor and craft sale today at Resurrection Lutheran Church in St. Joseph, MN to get your cards stocked up.

Calling All Heroes For PPA278

For today's card I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and made a card worthy of Gotham City using the retiring stamp set Calling All Heroes from Stampin' Up! for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 278

 

The color trio was Cucumber Crush, Real Red and Crumb Cake, so I went non-traditional with this card, hope you like it :)

I love how the city backdrop gives you that superhero feeling along with the mask and the word window stamp.  I also used the softly falling embossing folder and lightly brushed whisper white to give it some super hero snow!

Festive Flower for Mojo Monday 426

Today I made such a fun card with the Reason For The Season Stamp Set and Festive Flower Builder Punch to play along with the Mojo Monday 426 challenge.

Here is the sketch that we were challenged with:

I also used Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss card stock to match the gold paper.  I embossed the flower leaves in gold on blackberry bliss for this pretty card.  Check out all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for this project.
