A Little Pick Up

So cute!  Love this set.  I'm so happy I decided to order the Loads of Love set and the Loads of Love Accessories.  I'm looking forward to working with this set for many things.  The first thing I'm using it for will be for a Stamp-a-Stack with a theme of cards for the men in your life.  Here is one sample.  I used SCS sketch challenge SC300 for my design. 

Silhouette Sentiments Thank You Card

Thank you card made with Silhouette Sentiment hostess set.  I had fun stamping all the blooms from the 3 different stamps in the set.  I used the in color colors Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade and Concord Crush.  This is pretty much a card that was inspired by another SU demonstrator's card that I saw in the SU demonstrator showcase so  I cannot take credit for the entire design.  Embossing with a non-SU embossing folder was done across the top.  I made this just slightly smaller than the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card size because my paper trimmer was being a pain and I could not get a straight cut on the Blushing Bride base that I wanted to use so I had to trim it down to get it straight, which I did on another paper trimmer and will be pitching the other one but I think the size worked for a cute thank you card.  I made a set of 4 of these to go to some people who came to my Stamp-A-Stack I had on Saturday to thank them for their support and their orders.

Anniversary Stair Step Card

Used the stair-step style to make this anniversary card for my husband.  It makes a nice presentation.  I chose the Filled With Love.  It is in the Holiday Mini Catalog as a Valentine's Day set but it definitely has multiple other possibilities, i.e. Anniversary, Wedding, etc.  I used the SU InColor colors of Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz.  The large heart punch is really cool too.  You can tell I loved using it.  The stair step fold technique tutorial can be found here  in the  Splitcoaststampers Resources.



Filled with Love Set

These two cards are for the Stampin Up Walt Disney World contest.  Demonstrators can make WDW themed projects based on their favorite character or ride.  I chose Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse for these 2 projects.  The winner of the contest wins the SU stamp set of their choice.

Lovely As a Tree Monochromatic Christmas Card

An old tried and true stamp set at SU is the Lovely as a Tree set.  This majestic pine tree image is perfect for Christmas cards.  I stamped this one on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I cut out with the Top Note Die and then trimmed it down a little so it would fit on top of the Garden Green piece also cut out with the Top Note Die.  The white piece is also embossed with the Big Shot Textures folder called Northern Flakes.  The sentiment is inside the Scallop Oval punch and layered with the Decorative Tag punch.  All Christmas cards should have some bling so I added the SU Jewel Basic rhinestone s tickers to the snow flakes and the tag.  I also used a glue pen on the tree and then sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  All items are available in the SU catalog.  The sentiment is from the Jolly Old Saint Nick set that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
