Simple (Pocket) Silhouettes

Just a simple card to share with you today.

The card base is Kraft cardstock and accented with three Curly Label punched images.  The stamp sets used on this card are "Pocket Silhouettes" and "Cute & Curly" (sentiment in the middle). 

I paper pierced some dotted lines to add some interest to the basic layout.

It's been a busy weekend and busy Monday for me - but, I'll be back with more to share tomorrow.

Manly Manchester

Today I am sharing a 3” x 3” card set that I created – all based around Kraft cardstock (see below).  Rather than explain the details, I am just going to share the photos.  Today, I wanted to open up my blog for discussion.

 

I’d like my readers to E-Mail Me with a question …

 

Maybe it’s a question about becoming a Demonstrator, about how to be a hostess when I am a virtual demonstrator, or questions about current Stampin’ Up! Promotions.  Maybe you have a question about a project I shared, or just Stampin’ Up! in general.

 

Whatever it is … please ask away! 

 

I will respond as promptly as I can and tomorrow will post some of the questions and answers I gather. 

 

Hope you enjoy my Manly Manchester, 3” x 3” card set!  (please click images to enlarge)

 

Photos of the individual cards can be found in my Kreations Gallery.  My favorite card of the bunch is the one with the Kraft Curly Label Punch and the designer filigree brad in the center.

For a Woof-fect Woman

This card was created for the Color Challenge (CC180) at Splitcoastampers.com.  The challenge was to use Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Close to Cocoa.

I actually started this card using a completely different stamp set , "Crazy for Cupkakes" and I just could not get the combo to work for me.  After struggling with that for about 20 minutes, I quickly switched focus, dug through my stamp sets and found these cute little dogs.  They are from the "Loads of Love Accessories" stamp set. 

I stamped the pups in Close to Cocoa ink, then popped them out using Stampin' Up!'s small oval punch.  I then inked up the "Cute & Curly" stamp set (that comes in a bundle with the new curvy label punch) also in Close to Cocoa.  This image got punched out and mounted on four Stampin' Dimensionals. 

The designer series paper you see is Berry Bliss and now retired.  But I had a few pieces left and thought it worked perfectly for this challenge and Kreation.  A strip of Blush Blossom cardstock got two long holes with the horizontal slit punch, then was threaded with some Kraft Taffeta ribbon. 

Final touches on the card are the sentiment from Hostess Level I set "Best Yet" and three tiny adhesive pearls.  The base of the card is Ruby Red card stock. 

This card will be given to my Mom - a strong woman who could use these little puppies right now.  She's a dog fanatic so this card is purr-fect for her.  Or should I say woof-fect?? ... sorry, I'm more of a cat lover!  :)
