Classy & Fabulous

I have only purchased one new stamp set this year (I know, hard to believe) but I am trying to be good! Plus I have been purchasing lots of paper, embellishments, tools and other goodies. But this stamp set, I knew I had to have -- "Classy & Fabulous" on page 51 of the S/S Catalog. It is just too much fun. I love stamps that have a bit of a sassy streak, just like me! This was the first time I got to use this set. I wanted to showcase it in some fun girly colors. This is a new color combination for me but I just love it!!

Both of these cards were made at my March Stamp Club. Here is a 3"X3" Love Note we made to go with our Chocolate Chip Alligator purses we also made (I will share those later).

RECIPE: Stamps-Classy & Fabulous; Inks-Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss & Perfect Plum; CS-Pale Plum, Very Vanilla, & Chocolate Chip; and Ribbon-Mellow Moss 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.

Here is the second, standard-size, card we made. I know the perfect person to give this card too!! =)

RECIPE: Stamps-Classy & Fabulous; Inks-Pale Plum, Chocolate Chip, Perfect Plum, Blush Blossom & Mellow Moss; CS-Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla & Mellow Moss; Ribbon-Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain.

Valentine's in December?

I know...I know...Who makes Valentine Cards in December, right? Well I did. This was my card for my November Card Swap with a group of SU! Demonstrators from across the country. It was really hard to switch gears to create this card. I have been making Christmas cards for two months so to go from snow to hearts took a little thought.



I really love Black-White-Red on cards, it is so elegant and sophisticated. I embossed the swirls on this card because I wanted them to really pop on the black.

RECIPE: CS-Basic Black, Whisper White & Real Red; Stamps-Baroque Motif; Ink-Real Red & Craft White; Ribbon-Real Red Grosgrain; Punches-Wide Oval, Large Oval & Scallop Edge.

Classy Cupcakes

Here is the last card sample I have from Ladies Stamping Night Out. We did make one more card, featured here. I LOVE this card! It is so simple, classy and elegant. I also like this color combination. My all time favorite SU! color is Chocolate Chip, it is so versatile. Black can feel so harsh but browns are so warm and inviting.

It is hard to tell in the picture but after I watercolored the image I added a few details. I used a white gel pen to add a bit of dimension to the cupcakes and the cups. I also used Crystal Effects on the cherries, to give them some shine, and to the cupcake stand, to give it a glassy look.



RECIPE: DPS-Bella Rose; CS-Kiwi Kiss & Red Riding Hood; Stamp-Crazy for Cupcakes; Ink-Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip & Red Riding Hood; Ribbon-Chocolate Chip Grosgrain; Punches-Scallop Edge and Embellishments-Crystal Effects.

Catching the Cupcake Craze!

I just got this fabulous new stamp set "Crazy for Cupcakes". As soon as I saw this in the catalog I knew that I had to have it. It is so cute and I could do so much with it. As soon as it was in my hands I drew a creative blank. I couldn't think of a single thing to make with this set. But once I started playing with it, the ideas came flooding in.

This is one of the cards we made at Ladies Night Stamping Night Out. Who doesn't need a stash of birthday cards? I always need them. I love the colors in this card. It is hard to tell in the picture but I added Crystal Effects to the flame and sprinkles.



RECIPE: DSP-Bella Rosa; CS-Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White & Pirouette Pink; Stamp-Crazy for Cupcakes; Ink-Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Pirouette Pink, Whisper White & Riding Hood Red; Embellishments-Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads & Crystal Effects; and Punches-3/4" Circle.

Changing It Up!


I tend to see a stamp or paper exactly as it is shown or for the season it can be used. I tried to think a bit out of the box with the Season of Friendship Tree and Autumn Vine DSP. I wanted to make a Christmas card, but as you can see I am still a bit obsessed with these two products. So I decided to just use the branches of the tree instead of the whole thing. I also picked a pattern of the DSP that is more "winter" looking. Here is my creation! I hope it challenges you to change things up a bit.

RECIPE: DSP-Autumn Vines; CS-Chocolate Chip, Whisper White & Sage Shadow; Stamp-Season of Friendship; Ink-Chocolate Chip & Sage Shadow; Embellishment-Silver Brads; and Ribbon-Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Felt (Holiday Mini)
