Tea Party Thank You Card

Stampin' Up! Tea Party Thank You Card

I'm trying out some of the new paper from the New 2014 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. This paper is called Lullaby. It does have nice colors for baby cards, but I like to see what else I can create with it besides the obvious.

SSC76 Tea Party Card

Today's card is one that I created for Sunday Stamps Challenge 76 (SSC76). I used the Stampin' Up! Tea Party stamp set. I hadn't used the tea pot/flowers stamp yet so I thought I would use it for this card. I was inspired to color it with markers after I saw some samples on Pinterest. This stamp is fairly intricate and on the smaller side (about 2") so it is a little tricky to color. I had to get out my reading glasses to make sure the color was in the correct places!

Here's the Sunday Stamps sketch that I used for the card layout. It is a clean and simple layout (CAS).

I used:
Stamps- Tea Party, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink- Whisper White craft, Real Red marker, Old Olive marker, Smokey Slate marker
Paper- Basic White c.s., Cherry Cobbler c.s., Basic Black c.s., Modern Medley DSP
accessories- Bitty Banner framelits, Window framelits, EK ribbon punch

Gingham Garden Tea Party All Occasion Card

Are you ready for a spring tea party?

Here's another Gingham Garden card. I'm not really stuck in a rut...I am just challenging myself to create many different cards with one Designer Series Paper pack. It is amazing to me how many cards can be created with one single pack of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. I would have to look back to the samples that I created a year ago and figure out how many cards we made in class with this pack of paper to get a good idea of just how many cards can be created with one pack. I am still using the original pack that I purchased!

Here's my card creation for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #133

I received my first batch of Stampin' Up! co-branded Project Life supplies yesterday afternoon. All I can say is, I am so happy! I have used the Becky Higgins Project Life system and have tried incorporating the idea into my Stampin' Up! scrapbook classes, but this will make it SO much easier. I will try to get some samples made up soon so that you can see what it looks like. Actually, I put a video on my Pinterest page that you can view to get a sneak peak. I even made a special Project Life board on my Pinterest where I will be pinning all kinds of ideas very soon. Check it out at http://pinterest.com/stampwithtrude

Enjoy the Day!
