More Elements of Style





I tell you, this set is awesome! This card with a detachable bookmark was another of May's club projects.

The toile style is a common one created with this stamp. I did this one with Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla. On the main top image I added very, very soft color with classic ink and blender pens (Pretty in Pink and Old Olive). The color was also added on the bookmark panel. The edges of all of the Very Vanilla pieces are lightly sponged with Chocolate Chip.

The sentiment is from Watercolor Trio, also in the Summer Mini.

Instructions for a bookmark card can be found here. I used my Stampin' Up! Cutter Kit perforating tool for this project; worked great!

Happy Stamping!

Island Oasis Mini Album





This cute album was one of May's club projects. I used the Island Oasis DSP and a few other embellishments and punches. It ends up folding to a 5-1/4" aquare so it fits in SU Medium Square envelopes.

I found the instructions here. Many thanks to this demonstrator for sharing the measurements and instructions for this project. I have made a few others and find it is a great little gift.


Happy Stamping!

Delinquent Blogger


Yeah, that's what I am. It's not that I am not stamping, I am, lots! I just don't blog about it as often as I'd like to.

Here's a card. A bad photo of a card. Don't know what happened, sorry about the quality.

This is actually a Basic Grey base. Then a textured Pink Pirouette layer and a piece of DSP from an old retired Simply Scrappin Kit. A piece of wide Regal Rose grosgrain hides the seam nicely.

A Basic Grey base holds a the image that is stamped with Regal Rose and Wild Wasabi Classic ink on Whisper White. I stamped the centre of the flowers a second time, punched them out with the circle from the new SU Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack. Then the centres got a little bit of bling from a glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds.

The sentiment is a retired rubon from the Occasions Mini.

I made this card for my God-daughter: happy 13th birthday to Kelsey!!

Happy Stamping!
