Festival of Trees

Lost Lagoon is one of my new favorite colors.  I created this card using the Festival of Trees stamp set bundled with the Tree Punch. I used a Labels Collection Framelit to cut out the background & the Bitty Banners Framelit to cut out the banner. The Silver Glimmer Paper adds a little sparkle to the card.  I added dimensionals to the silver tree & the banner.

Preschool Silent Auction Donation

I donated two sets of handmade cards with envelopes & mini magazine card holders.  One set is Christmas cards (left) and a other set is a variety of cards (right).  I used the Gift Bow Bigz L die to create the bows.

Maui Sunrise

Here is beautiful Maui sunrise.  I woke up to these pretty colors in the sky this morning.  Now I am motivated to finish making 2 sets of cards & card holders to donate to my son's preschool fundraiser.

Blended Bloom & Blendabilites Markers

The Blended Bloom is one of my favorite stamps from the Stampin Up Idea Book & Catalog 2014-2015.  Blending colors is so easy with the blendabilites markers.  The flower is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White card stock & colored with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilites markers & a Daffodil Delight marker. I fussy cut the flower & popped it up with dimensionals.  I used the Deco Labels framelits to cut out the Whisper White accent behind the flower.  I used the Decorative Label punch to (double) cut out a greeting from the Bloom with Hope hostess stamp set.  Finally, I used 3 layers of the Thick Baker's Twine in Coastal Cabana and tied it in a bow.

October Paper Pumpkin

I recently subscribed to a Stampin' Up monthly paper crafting kit called Paper Pumpkin.  I had lots of fun creating these Halloween treat bags using the October 2014 kit.  The kit came with everything I needed to create these 6 treat bags.

I made more tags using the stamp set and leftover supplies from the kit with additional paper, scalloped tag topper punch, PL corner punch and bags.
