Month: October 2009
Wedding Sweet
The Wedding Sweet Stamp Set is appropriately named, it makes a sweet card! The clean simple lines of the design work well with a simple layout like the one fellow demo Kathi Davis used on this card. She also used the Stampin’ Up! Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder which coordinates really well with this set. Her color combo is Sahara Sand, Taken With Teal, and Bordering Blue. Add the Kraft Tafetta Ribbon and a dash of Dazzling Diamonds glitter and it oozes eye appeal!
Flight Of The Butterfly Caught In Lattice
This is such a bright and cheerful card! Fellow demo Tisha Copeland created this cheerful masterpiece. She used the Flight of the Butterfly, Sprinkles, and Oval All Stamp Sets, the Stampin’ Up! Lattice Bigz Die, Butterfly, Scallop Oval, and Large Oval Punches. Her color combo is taken from the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper that she used; Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry.
Medallion in Soft Suede
This simple, elegant Happy Anniversary card was created by fellow demos Chris and Dean Talbot. They use the Medallion Background Stamp and Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. What a perfect card for a 50th wedding anniversay! Other items used are Gold Embossing Powder, Soft Suede Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, 1 3/4 Circle Punch, Paper Piercer, and Gold Brad.

Nature’s Nest Water Card
This very cool card was created by fellow demo Olive Barnes using the Natures Nest Stamp Set. She used the Inspired By Nature Stamp Set to make the sea grass. The “water” is a gel in a plastic zip bag. I have not made a water card since Fishy Friends! Natures Nest is the perfect set for this type of card.
Made 2 Last Best Friends Forever
I’m thinking Donna must have a teenage daughter! She made this totally hip card using the Made 2 Last Stamp Set and Rockin’ Stampin’ Around Wheel. I had to go on a catalog search to find that background paper! She used the Kaleidascope Designer Series Paper.
This card is a good example of using the rule of three. The Only Orange stripes in the background paper, the Only Orange Grosgrain Ribbon, and the Only Orange Photo Corner is one trio on the card…there is also a another trio! Do you see it? Everyone who emails me the correct answer on what it is will get their name put into a drawing to receive this fun card! Be sure to include your snail mail in your email!
Lots Of Bots And Circle Circus Together
Fellow demo Jennifer Bernardo-Dickson used the Lots of Bots Stamp Set and Circle Circus Stamp Set to create this card. What a great idea! The style of the circle coordinates with the robot theme and the circle shape itself matches the bots “middle” LOL! These two sets make a great combination! Her color combo is Basic Gray and Dusty Durango. She also used a touch of Brushed Silver card stock and Silver Encore ink. The silver brad was a nice touch too!
October’s Color Combo
Here is a fun color combination for you to play with making your Halloween cards this month. The card example uses the Halloween Hoot Stamp Set.
Kind and Caring Thoughts To Say Hello
Sigh…this card is soooo pretty that I wish I could say it was my creation! Sadly, I can’t say that. However, I can say it is one of my swaps. No name on this swap either…if it were mine…my name would be on it! LOL! The creator used one of the new hostess sets, Kind and Caring Thoughts Stamp Set, to make this pretty card. She also used the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Details Texturz Plate, on this card…which I just absolutely love! I have been trying to decide how she did the background because if you look closely it looks like it might have been sponged to highlight the texture. I have come to the conclusion that she used the Sanded Background Stamp on the background prior to using the texturz plate. This really made the textured background pop out. The color combo is Bermuda Bay and Pretty In Pink.

A Cheerful Hello With Hello Again Stamp Set
The Hello Again Stamp Set is easy to use and is quite cheerful all on its own but when it is paired with the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper and its bright color combo…well…WOW! This card is also from my swap stash…and the name on the back is Stephanie. What a gorgeous card Stephanie!
