Garden (Tea) Party

Yesterday I said I'd share with you the card I created for my Mom.

Well, here it is and I have to say - the more I look at it, the more I love it.  See the coordinating gift box I made for her by clicking here.

This Tea Party Designer Series Paper is so soft and feminine.  I am so glad I bought this paper pack, it can work for so many different occasions.

When I bought this paper, I chipped in with my Aunt - and we split the pack.  Knowing that when you buy Stampin' Up!'s designer paper, you receive 2 12" x 12" pieces of each print.  We were able to maximize our savings, while benefiting by owning multiple collections.

Do you know someone that would love to own Stampin' Up! Designer Paper?  Well, right now is the time to find that someone ... go ahead ... split & save.

• Buy 3 Designer Series Paper packs OR 12" x 12" cardstock and get 1 FREE!

Au Naturale

Happy (day after) Mother's Day!

I made this fun gift set for my Mom.  I am posting this project a day late because I did not want her to visit my blog and ruin the surprise.  See another view of this project in My Kreations Gallery.

This box was made using Lauren Meader's From the Desk of template.  See my other creation using this template by clicking here. 

My Mom loves going plant and flower shopping in May.  So, I pulled together a small gift set using a "gardening" theme.  Inside this box, you'll find 3 seed packets (flowers), some plant markers, and a bitty book labeled "buds".  The stamp set used here is called Scene in a Garden from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

In this little book, she can place photos of her flowering seeds (buds) OR take photos of her friends (buds).  Cute, huh?

I wanted to keep things "natural" looking, so I did not ink the chipboard letters.  They may look a little bit "naked", but I am a huge fan of Stampin' Up!'s Kraft cardstock. 

Finally, I had to create a coordinating card - so I did so using the same Designer Paper Collection called "Tea Party".

But, I'll hold off until tomorrow to share that with you.

DID YOU KNOW?  Right now, you can buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper OR Textured Cardstock - and get 1 pack free!  View the promotional flyer here.

Consider sharing paper with a friend - you get 2 sheets of each print or textured cardstock per pack.  Split the cost and split the paper.  What a deal for both of you!!

Scene in a Garden

This brand new stamp set is called Scene in a Garden and can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  If you didn't already know - the catalog was released today!!

Don't miss my earlier post to see more info on the mini.

You'll get 7 images in the Scene in a Garden set for only $21.95! 

I can't decide what image is my favorite.  I lean towards that adorable little bird and then I look at the rain boots all lined up in a row and my heart swoons.

Here's a snapshot of the full image set.  Can you stand to pass it up?  Imagine all the scenes you can create with these garden images.

This card uses the Mojo Monday sketch #80.  At first, I was intimidated by all of the design elements here, but I am quite pleased with my result.

I used some Parisian Breeze Specialty designer paper on this card as well.  I tell you, I'm not a huge fan of blue - but these papers are convincing me otherwise.  LOL!  I'm soooo glad I ordered this paper. 

Parisian Breeze Specialty paper features:

■ 12" x 12", textured cover-weight card stock - adds dimension to your project
■ 12 sheets per package (2 each of 6 designs)
■ Exclusive designs and colors, with patterns based on Stampin’ Up! art
■ Coordinate with Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colors: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Kraft
■ Acid and lignin free

Here's a snapshot view of the paper - doesn't it look so yummy together?  The nice thing about Stampin' Up! is that everything coordinates.  TIP:  You don't have to be matchy - matchy ... just use coordinating product to make creating easy and fun!
