ICS BLOG HOP-VARIED VASES

Hi Everyone! Welcome to summer-and the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on our amazing punches! Some coordinate with the stamp sets & some are just great for punching out cool shapes! Mine this month is the perfect coordinating set!

Here's my card:

So we are in the midst of a brand new Annual Catalog! While this is not a new stamp set or new punch, they are new to me! And I love them!!!!!!

This is the Varied Vases stamp set with the coordinating Vase Builder Punch.  There is a beautiful new set in the catty called Vibrant Vases which I do not own-yet!!! I so love how this looks! These little vases work for any occasion! This was a thank you card created for a future family member who did something very thoughtful for us! Feeling like family already!

I have been dying to try these new Scalloped Note Cards and Envelopes!! Boy are they amazing! This card was needed quickly. Now the punch thing isn't always super fast, but having the cards available to just add the images to was perfect! It's simple but fun! The flowers are stamped on the yardstick while the vases are raised with Dimensionals. Thought it added just the perfect "punch" to the card! (See what I did there? lol)

So all the items here are available in the new Annual Catalog! And now is the perfect time to purchase them as we are in Bonus Days!!! Not sure what that is? Contact your demonstrator for information. Don't have a demonstrator? Contact me! I'd love to tell you all about it!!!!!

Now please hop on over to Janey's blog & enjoy all the goodies that you will see with the amazing stamps & coordinating punches!!! Just click on  her name or the link below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

Here's this week's card:

Here is the inspiration photo:

Here are the Stampin' Up! colors:

So this week the colors just shouted flowers to me! The colors are bold & bright! So I pulled out my Beautiful Bunch stamp set and coordinating                  Fun Flower Punch. Yup, both on the retiring list! Bummer!  The                  Petite Petal Punch was used here too, and that one is NOT retiring! Phew! I get to keep a couple of things! lol  

The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts. Gone too!  But the                   Brick Wall Embossing Folder stays! I LOVE that folder! It's so versatile!!! I'd really miss that one!

The final touches bling out the card with Dazzling Details & Candy Dots. Say goodbye to those too!

It all sounds so sad that these are all leaving the catalog, but wait until you see the amazing stuff coming along!!!! The new catalog is beyond crazy good!!! Let me know if you'd like one!!!

So now go hop around & enjoy this week's creations!!!

Happy Stampin'!

So here's my card:

Here's the inspiration photo:

And here are the Stampin' Up! colors:

I wanted to feature a brandy new tool from the Holiday Catalog this week. It's the amazing Curvy Corner Trio Punch! You have 2 cool corners & a slit for some ribbon on it! And it's all in a cute little triangle shape!  Very nice new tool! Along with a ton of other new goodies from the Holiday Catalog! So amazing!!!  

Well you may have noticed I used it on the little tag! The corners & the ribbon slot are both from the punch! So easy to make nice tags!!! And very easy to use!!!

The stamp set is the lovely Garden in Bloom Photopolymer set. So many pretty images in this 2-step stamp set! Thought it worked well with these colors! I really do tend to go to the flowers don't I?! Well they're pretty. And summery! And I love summer! So there! lol

So get hopping, and be sure to join us next week for another fun 

Coloring Down the Lines blog hop!!!

ICS BLOG HOP SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Hello all you Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hoppers!!! I can't believe it's March hop time already!!!! As  I type this, we are having our first day in the upper 40's F since January 18! It feels like summer! Ugh!  Still snowbanks over my head! With more snow on it's way!!!

That's why I'm so excited about a SPRING blog hop!! Can't wait to see what everyone has! Hopefully it'll help me at least think spring!!! Feels like the only place it exists in in this blog hop!!! lol

So here's my card:

It's kind of going old-school for me! I haven't done something with this type design in awhile!  But I love how the Something Lacy giant stamp makes such a pretty background! This one was done with a sponge & 3 different colors!!! Such a versatile stamp!!!

So nothing says "spring" to  me like flowers do! The flower is from the 

Crazy About You Stamp set and is punched out with The coordinating 

Flower Medallion Punch!  Super easy! I did fussy cut the inner flower & the leaves, but that wasn't too taxing!

Other items used are the Simply Wonderful stamp set for the sentiment, Candy Dots & Candy Dot Brad Base, & Wide Baker's Twine.

Sweet simple & spring!!!

So go pop on over to Tina's blog now & see what she has to offer! Be sure to keep going after visiting hers!!! Hopefully you will get some "spring fever" too!!! Please leave a comment! We love to hear from you!! Just click the picture below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

And here are the MDS colors (thanx Robbie!!):

Now we have a rather "large" card here, but I really wanted to feature some of the great new products.  This is designed as a wedding card. Kind of tough to put into an envelope, but still a nice card!

So the flower is cut with the brandy new Bouquet Bigz die!! There is even a stamp set to go with it! Didn't use this time tho! But stay tuned! lol

The sentiment is from the Simply Wonderful stamp set from the 

 Sale-a-Bration Catalog! The DSP is so amazing! Also from the SAB catty. It's called Irresistably Yours!!!! Both can be yours-FREE!!!! Just ask me how!!!

The nifty little embellishment is from the Occasion Catalog & is called Something Borrowed.
