Big News! I Love Lace!!!


This new I Love Lace background stamp is to die for!!!  Look how beautiful it is!  Reminds me of my Great Grandma's tablecloths.  

I thought it paired well with the sentiment from Big News - it made a great vintage-y Wedding Card.


I think this card could easily be recreated in any color combo to compliment the wedding colors....what do you think?

BE YOU (TIFUL) - Flower Patch - Stampin' Up!


This new Flower Patch Stamp Set is definitely becoming one of my favorites! 

Why?

Well....for one, the set is Photopolymer, so you can easily see where you are stamping, making it perfect to layer color on top of color, as I did with the leaves.

But the flowers themselves are a bit quirky, fun.  Not a serious, exact interpretation of, say, the rose.  These are just simple flowers.  You can create them in a gazillion different ways, a quintillion different color combinations....

They are easy!


I CASE'd this card from someone, but now for the life of me can't remember who or where.  ( I actually created the card about 2 weeks ago....) 

I did, of course, change things up a bit.  I know the original card had a ribbon on it, and I don't think it had any DSP at all.....

When I CASE, I do like to give it my own little twist!

How about you - when you case, do you copy exactly, or change things up a bit?  I'd like to hear - leave me a comment down below....

Let Your Hair Down + new Weekly Deals @ Stampin' Up!




I'd like to dedicate this card today to all of my FABULOUS downline and my AMAZING customers.  

Because of all of you, my husband and I will be attending the Stampin' Up! Getaway Trip to Washington DC in September!

I couldn't have done it without all of you guys!  So here's to you!  Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!

This will be the first extended trip my husband and I have gone on without children....since we've had children!  We've each gone on separate trips without kids, but never together.  And I have to say...We NEED this!  (We did go on an overnight trip without kids about 6 years ago....so even that, it's been a while!)

 Let's chat a little about today's card....

A little vintage meets grunge again.  I may be on a roll with this style, eh?  While the pic above doesn't do the Lost Lagoon DSP any favors (lighting issues~!), it's a great color paired with Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss.  

Throw in some great texture from the burlap and some soft flirty texture from the crocheted trip....this card speaks my language!

I did use a sketch today - from CAS(e) this Sketch.  Here's their sketch:
