Christmas time with the greeting card kids

Ok I promise today will be the last day I post a card using the greeting card kids stamp set for a little while anyway. This one is the little Christmas girl pulling her sled with a tree in it. Such a precious image! Today I used my watercolor crayons and aqua painters to mix it up a bit. It gives her a softer look! I also used the greenhouse gala designer paper again. I didn't have any current Christmas paper yet, but look how nicely this greenhouse gala dsp lends it self to this card!
Do you love that paper flower embellishment in the top left hand corner? It was super easy to make! I added smooch spritz to it and shimmer paint to make it look vintage and antiqued!

This next one is a close up of the paper flower! If you where to buy these in the store you'd be paying $4 - $5 for a pack of 6 of them! I used a build - a - brad in the center with matching dsp from the bottom of the card.

This photo is a close up of the watercoloring!

That's it for today everybody. Enjoy your day!

Happy Stampin!

It's been a loooooooooong time!

Hi everyone, it's been quite a while sense I last posted. Had some things to take care of in my personal life, so blogging wasn't on the list for a while. But I'm back!
Today I have a card to show you that uses a new product from the summer mini catalog! Our smooch spritz! The smooch spritz is super easy and really fun to use and it adds so much to your project!
On this card I used it on my white layers of cardstock to give it a nice shimmer.
This card was a thank you card for Kayla's teacher this year. I had everybody in the class sign it. As you can probably see from the photo someone had dirty hands when they touched it! Oh well, what are you going to do!
I used the big shot to add texture to the card and I also used the lots of tags die for the focal point of the card. I love my big shot!

 This is the first time I used my pendant park stamp set, and I have to tell you, I LOVE IT! I added a half back pearl and a small punched out flower. Both in white to give the card a bit of elegance.

I also did some paper piercing on the bottom of the tree, just for fun! If you click on the pictures you should be able to see close up, to see how shimmery the smooch spritz really is.

I used the thank you from the stamp set teeny tiny wishes! If you don't have this set, you really should. I use it all the time.

What you need to purchase to make this card:

Pendant park stamp set

teeny tiny wishes stamp set

Mellow moss ink pad (retiring at the end of June)

Chocolate chip ink pad

Whisper white, chocolate chip, kraft cardstock

Big shot, Big shot texture plate of choice, Lots of Tags die

Trio flower punch

pretties kit (retiring soon!)

Paper piercing kit

snail adhesive

dimensionals

Smooch Spritz (summer mini catalog)

mini glue dots

That's my sample for the day. I hope that you enjoy it and that it gives you some inspiration of your own.

Happy Stampin! and have a great day,

Angela

Goodbye Mellow Moss, Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac - Hello Blissful Bride!

So for the next few weeks I am going to be featuring retiring  colors. Why? Well because I can! And I'm going to miss some of these colors so I want to use them while I still can. Remember that if you want some of these retiring colors, order them soon so you don't miss out. Don't forget to get a matching ink refill and cardstock too!
So I'm saying goodbye to retiring colors and saying hello to a new stamp set that will be available next month! The stamp set is called blissful bride and it's a very sweet stamp set.
That's one of the benefits of being a Stampin Up demonstrator. I get to pre-order products before they are available to the general public. If you would like more information on becoming a demonstrator, call or email me or better yet, join me at my opportunity night on Monday May 3rd at 6:30 pm at my house. Please rsvp by May 1st.

This is a very simple card, but you should see all the shimmer on it. I used the frost white shimmer paint on the centers of the flowers, on the scallops on the circle scallop and on the bottom boarder. I also used a new product called smooch spritz on the almost amethyst cardstock, it just sparkles. With this product you can now have shimmery paper in any color you want, jus by spraying it on your favorite colored cardstock!

I colored in the flowers with blender pens and my ink pads.

Wouldn't these make great wedding thank you's, a great birthday card, a thinking of you or get well card.

This next photo is blurry, but I wanted to show you how much shimmer really is on the card.

That's it for today.

Have a great day and happy Stampin!
