Bravo.... So Happy for You


This is the swap card I made for our Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention this year....




I knew I wanted to feature our Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper on this swap, so I went to the Occasions Catalog for inspiration on what else would coordinate well with it!


Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper  137785  $10.95



Here's what I found....

I love the delicate flowers on the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder and thought they complimented the flowers on the DSP very well.

I also added a strip of Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon (the back side of it) between these two layers on the card.  I just love the natural look of this ribbon!


Spring Flowers Embossing Folder  137365  $7.95


Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon  132982  $6.95



Next, I stamped "So happy for you!" (from the Bravo Photopolymer Stamp Set) in Crumb Cake ink and sponged the edges of the tag with this ink as well.  I also stamped those cute hearts (from the Something to Say Stamp Set) in Crumb Cake ink.

Finally, I punched the top of the tag with the (awesome!) new Ornate Tag Topper Punch and added some frayed pieces of Burlap Ribbon and Pearls to the tag.



Bravo Photopolymer Stamp Set  135380  $25.95




Something to Say Stamp Set  (wood-mount)  134177  $29.95
Something to Say Stamp Set  (clear-mount)  134180  $21.95



Ornate Tag Topper Punch  137416  $22.95



1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon  132140  $7.95



Pearl Basic Jewels  119247  $4.95





I hope you enjoyed this card, and I hope you are Inkspired today!!

Celebrate Today Scrapbook Page


This is the 3rd page we made at our Scrapbook Class last night....



We start with a Whisper White base, then added a punch of color with our strip of Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper along the bottom of the page.

We also added a piece of Tangelo Twist card stock, stamped it with the arrows from the Celebrate Today Stamp Set and then added some Hello Honey Quilted Cotton Ribbon to this piece.
Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper  133692  $10.95


Hello Honey 5/8" Quilted Cotton Ribbon  137864  $6.95




Now, for those cute balloons (which can be found in the Celebrate Today stamp set)....

We stamped them in Bermuda Bay ink on Bermuda Bay Card stock and then die-cut them with the coordinating Balloon Framelits - these two items are bundled together for a 15% savings on both items.

Next, we stamped those cute balloon tassels in Strawberry Slush ink on Strawberry Slush Card stock and the little bow in Tangelo Twist ink on Tangelo Twist Card stock.  Again, we used the coordinated Balloon Framelits to die-cut these pieces.


Celebrate Today Photopolymer Stamp Set & Balloon Framelits  138869  $36.25



We also added some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine to complete our balloons!




Crushed Curry Baker's Twine  134586  $2.95

I hope you enjoyed this page!  And....  I hope you are Inkspired today!!

Best Year Ever Scrapbook Pages


These are the pages we'll make at our Scrapbook Class tonight!!


Since Sale-a-Bration is now in full swing, I decided to feature lots of my favorite Sale-a-Bration products on these pages.

We start with a Crisp Cantalope base page, then added some 1 1/4" circles to the top of the page with various designs from the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  We also added some Coastal Cabana Ribbon (from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack - also your FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration) to the bottom of the page. 



Next, we added a little fun to the bottom corner of our page.

We stamped the dots from the Best Day Ever Stamp Set (your FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration) in Coastal Cabana ink - we stamped it once full strength, then again (for a lighter effect), then re-inked the stamp and did it all over again a few more times to cover the Whisper White piece.

Next, we stamped "You Made My Day" in Calypso Coral ink and our Heart in Crushed Curry ink.  Then, we punched the top of our tag with our Ornate Tag Topper Punch and added some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine.

We also added a mini Coastal Cabana flower using our Petite Petals punch and a Crushed Curry Button from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack.

Finally, we added a Tea Lace Paper Doily behind the tag and popped it onto the page with Dimensionals.

Ornate Tag Topper Punch  137416  $22.95


Tangerine Tango Baker's Twine  134578  $2.95



Petite Petals Punch  133322  $12.95



Tea Lace Paper Doilies  129399  $2.95


Here's the next page we'll make at class tonight...


I just love this Designer Series Paper!!  You can see it a little more clearly on this page - it's the Best Year Ever DSP (yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).



We also stamped "Best Day Ever" - also found in the Best Day Ever Stamp Set - in Crushed Curry ink.  The little Calypso Coral flowers at the bottom of the page are also from this set. 



If you'd like to join us at Scrapbook Class sometime, we meet the last Tuesday of every month - you can come to class anytime between 4-9pm.  We'd love to have you join us!

I hope you enjoyed these pages!!  And I hope you are Inkspired today!!
