Bella Bleu

Bella Bleu is so pretty, and teamed with Brocade Blue, and Not Quite Navy, it enhances the colors even more. I love the blue tones of this paper, and the elegance it portrays...

I die cut the flowers using Vanilla Cardstock and then sponged the edges using the Not Quite Navy ink pad. The leaves were cut using NQN and then layerd on the Paper, and then mounted over NQN.

The Brocade blue cardstock was scored in a cross hatch design, using the Scor Pal, but you can use your scoring tool on the Paper Trimmer as well.

The button (retiring) was used for the center of the flower

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much stamping lately..I've been sick, and today is actually the first day I have even felt like standing much!!!

Tomorrow, I will show some new products coming in the NEW Catalog!

Flower Fancy and Razzleberry Lemonade

One of the new Designer Papers, is Razzleberry Lemonade. Does it make you think of summer days sipping Raspberry lemonade? No?

Well, the name gives me visions of summer days, and the bright colors are fun and full of sweetness and cheer.

I teamed it up with Old Olive and Melon Maddness (bright pink) of course Razzleberry cardstock.

The New ribbons (polka dotted YEAH!) match the new colors of the cardstock and ink pads for the New In-colors. The richness of the colors are fun and happy! I miss the "old" colors, especially Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss, but I am looking forward to the new colors...

Graduation Card

My friend's daughter graduated this last week, and I stamped a quickie card for her. I used the Petal Pizzaz set in bright colors...

Using Pixie Pink, Orchid Opulence, and Green Galore to stamp the flowers and leaves on the white cardstock. The card was cut to fit into the open end envelope. I folded it over and then used a flower with a rhinestone brad to the center to close the card

Opening the card is easy to scoot it away from the flowered brad, and I tucked in a couple of gift cards to our favorite place, California Pizza Kitchen....along with a lei for her graduation in her colors...Gold (yellow) and Green....She wore it over her bright Green robes, and she just told me that she loved it!!!

Stamp a Stack Bella Bleu

Bella Bleu Designer Paper is so lovely...I am glad that this is one of the papers that made it into the NEW Catalog! This is a card that you can still make!

The card is Not Quite Navy, with the Designer Paper and a strip of NQN and Vanilla cardstock. The daisy is a die (sizzlet) that was cut twice, using So Saffron and NQN. I used the THANKS from the Thank you Kindly set. I love this font!

I know that I have been really quiet, and I apologize. I have been really busy with Graduation at my daughter's school. They lock down the school and then they have lots for the kids to do. There is a casino, disco area, karaoke, foosball, inflatables (not your typical bounce houses, but obstacle courses and zip lines!)

I hope you enjoy this simple card..very easy.....this is one for my Stamp a Stack for June 20th.

email me if you have any questions!

Good Morning Sunshine Album

,

More pictures of the inside of the CD Album...

As I am watching the Laker Game - Playoff Finals Game 3. Lakers are trailing, and there is only about 1 minute left...Kobe has missed his 5th freethrow....what ...is this real?....I must be dreaming! Not Kobe!!!

Well, I have to get back to my blogging...and my project here. I really love this project. I got the pattern from Crafttvweekly.com. They were a great site to get ideas from, but last year, they decided to shut down their site.






The shut down has left a real void in the Stamping area, but I love that YOUTUBE.com is available to peruse. Make sure you visit Youtube.com often. There is a wealth of videos and techniques by some really talented stampers!

anyways, if you come across a tutorial called Pop Pop Fizz Fizz, then this is the one that will show you how to make this one (it is very simple- so if you don't have the tutorial, all you really need is the CD folders and then take measurements) --> Here is the link for the video tutorial (thanks Marie!!!) I got the folders from Uline.com <---click!
Well, I know that by the time this post comes up, we'll know the resuls of the game...but I am sure that MAGIC will happen tonight...not the Lakers Magic....
