More Card Creations

So I've obviously been slacking on the blog updates. Here it is almost the end of the month and the last post was at the beginning of the month. DOH!!

Here are some cards I've created the last couple of weeks.

These first two pictures are using the Stampin Up Wedding Sweet stamp set. Colors in the first picture are Sage Shadow, Handsome Hunter and Ivory. Such a beautiful and versatile set...not just for weddings. I think these will make great note cards!

This one I heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Love how it turned out. I used Watercolor Paper for the base, Stampin Up Brocade Blue and Night of Navy for the cardstock.

I made a few of these during Monday Night Scrap this week. The stamp is from Stampin Up stamp set Baroque Motifs. Another of my favorites. The colors are Stampin Up Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke, stamped in Always Artichoke.

I always struggle with cards for the guys. Thanks to my BFF Beth for the inspiration on this one. Patterened Paper is Stampin Up Designer Series Paper Manchester (retired), Chocolate Chip SU cardstock embossed with the distressed embossing folder, Vanilla Cardstock to stamp on and for the base. The tree stamp is from the Stampin Up set Thoughts & Prayers. The Birthday Sentiment comes from the On Your Birthday set.

Of course when I find a design I like I mass produce at least a few to I have them handy!! :) Thanks for stopping by!

I'M IN LOVE

.....that's what I SHOUTED tonight when I stamped my first image with my Stampin' Up! Inspired By Nature set using the Stampin' Write Markers. I had played around with the markers the other night on the Pocket Silhouettes stamps. But OMG the look it gives on a bigger stamp like Inspired by Nature......AMAZING!!

Then......I SCREAMED (and I think I scared Beth) when I stamped my first image using the Watercolor Wonder Crayons. BEAUTIFUL!!!

I'm so in love!! Of course this means I now must have the other 3 sets that I don't own of the markers and crayons.

Here are the four cards I stamped tonight. This is all I got done because after the stamping I just sat and admired them for quite some time. :-)

I only put the bow on one - I thought the cards were so pretty they didn't need anything more. Plus no bow makes for easier mailing.


This one is the Markers. Chocolate Chip, Brocade Blue and Always Artichoke (grass is Mellow Moss - you can see it in the picture above)

This one was with the Crayons. Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and Old Olive.

Hello, my name is Tammy and I'm a Stampin' Up! addict

Well they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am so addicted to the Stampin' Up! products it's not funny. Though I don't believe that me admitting it is really going to stop me from buying. :) That's part of the reason I signed up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, to help pay for my addiction.

I signed up last week and my Starter Kit and first order arrived today. Three boxes - two of which weighed over 30 pounds. It's all Beth and Mandy's fault. :) Beth got me hooked on scrapbooking about a year ago and well the rest is history. Then we, wait I think it was actually BETH, met Mandy on the Cricut Message Board. Well Mandy is a Stampin' Up! demo (a darn good one might I add), and she helped answer some questions for us about stamping, and before we know it Beth and I are hooked. So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em right?

Here is the WHOLE stash that arrived today (starter kit and my first order).

So let's break it down. This is the "tools" from my Starter Kit. Chalks, Blender Pens, Adhesive, Versamark pad, stamp cleaner and pad. And the cardboard is the Home Decor element I was able to get with the starter kit as well. It's the Baroque Flourish and little flowers in Chocolate Chip. ...it's really cool.

Stamp Pads...got to pick 5. I went with the naturals and the one In-Color I didn't already have. I've bought two of the stamp familes already, and am on the fence on if I'll buy the other two families, or just pick the ones I like out of the sets.
And my Stamps....Garden Greetings, Baroque Motifs (Beth has this one and I love it), Full of Life, On Your Birthday and Lovely Letters Alphabet (great for monogram cards).

So remember I said I was an ADDICT - the stampin up paper is one of my major weakness. Did I say MAJOR, yep. Here you can see the stack of 12X12 (left) and 8.5X11 (right) packs I got with a ruler in between them. Hard to read I know...3 inches on the left and 6 inches on the right....that's 9 inches of cardstock. OMG! But in defense, 6 packs on the right are of Baja Breeze which is one of my wedding colors, and just so happens to be an In-Color and will be retired at the end of June. And the wedding isn't till May 2010. Yep over a year...so I am stocking up on the paper since I intend to make my invites and announcements.

Ribbon, more stamp pads (see that Tangerine Tango one? Somehow I ended up ordering one in my starter and one in my order as well....Julene that one is all your fault!!). I had to get a set of the markers and crayons to try....you can't be a good demo if you haven't used the products right? (Yep that's what I keep telling myself). And a few ink refills.

I so can't wait to play with two of these next ones. The Simple Flower Embosslit cuts and embosses. And the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I've seen some beautiful cards with these two.
Again - a demo can't do her job if she hasn't tried all the tools. :) So some of the daubers and sponges. And Twill tape
The stamp sets from my order - Echoes of Kindness (Hostess Level 1 gift), Inspired by Nature (oh man I've drolled over this one for a while now), and off in the distance - 3 of the Sale-A-Bration sets that you can pick from for every $50 you spend. These are extra sets (I already have all the sets in my personal collection - see told you I am an addicted), that I thought would make cool door prizes for a party or workshop.



So now the fun part........PLAYING!!! Not sure how much I will get to play tonight as it's pushing bedtime, but you can bet I'll be spending a lot of time in Scrapper's Paradise after work this week. I'll post some projects later in the week.

So there ya have it.....I am an addict, and LOVIN' every minute of it! :) Thanks Beth and Mandy!

Good Night all!

I'm now a Stampin' Up Demonstrator

So I finally decided to become a Stampin' Up Demo while they were having their promo. I'm so excited....already planning my first workshop. My starter kit and a HUGE order are on their way and I can't wait to get them. I have a bit of SU stuff, but ordered a few things I've been wanting to play with...markers, crayons, etc.
