Sharing What I Love

Starting tomorrow, May 1st, you will be able to get your hands on the Share What You Love Suite - an Early Release for Stampin' Up! Customers like I've never seen before.  The papers are gorgeous, the stamps are fun and creative!  To see more of what you can purchase, click HERE for my previous post with details

Today, I'm sharing the first card I made using some of the products from this suite.

Recipe: 

Very Vanilla - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
*Share What You Love Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4"
Rich Razzleberry -  5 1/4" x 3"
*Share What You Love DSP - 5 1/4" x 2 3/4"

*Pearlized Doily - cut in half and spread apart a bit
*Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon
*Share What You Love Artisan Pearls 

Above:  Check out this Velvet Ribbon.  I wish you could touch it through the screen.  It is so soft and just so pretty!

Stamps - 
We Must Celebrate (happy birthday)
Beautiful Bouquet (inside greeting)
*Make a Difference (65th and the small flowers on the banner)

This card is for a gal at the office who is turning 65 tomorrow.  We've worked together for as long as I can remember, so at least 28 years.  I hope she likes it.  These pretty colors remind me of something she might like, so fingers crossed!

Thank you for looking in today.  Have a great week!

More Memories & More

I wish I'd played more with these beautiful cards earlier.  So many great combinations to make simple cards in a flash!

Recipe:
Pink Pirouette - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Memories & More Small Cards - I trimmed them down a bit because they just seemed too big for the card, so here's the measurements: 

Strips and Birds - 3 3/4" x x 2 3/4"
Basic Black Mat - 4" x 3"
Pink Pirouette Mat - 4" x 3"

Enjoy the Moment also comes from the Memories & More pack.  I simply trimmed it down to just outside the pink line.

Doesn't this ribbon go great with this card?  It comes from the 2018 Occasions Catalog.  It came as a set, so I don't have the exact name - but it is in the Occasions - possibly sold out already.

I colored their little chests with Pink Pirouette Light and Dark Stampin' Blends.

Thank you for looking in today.  Have a Blessed Sunday!

Daisy Delight Thanks

A quick and easy card today.  The idea for this card comes from Connie Stewart.  Thanks Connie!  I chose different colors and paper, but the basis is from her card.

Recipe:  

Whisper White Thick card stock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Designer Series Paper (I used Tutti Frutti) 4 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Melon Mambo - Daisy Delight Stamps and Punch

Melon Mambo - Ink

Daffodil Delight - 1/2" punch

Basic Black - 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon

I wanted the ribbon to just be on the front of the card and since I only had the base of the card and the striped panel I decided to attach it to the striped panel.  So I used a piece of Tear & Tape across the very top and then put the ribbon onto the Tear & Tape.

On the back of the striped panel place a little more Tear & Tape to wrap the ends of the ribbon around to the back.  Then it all attaches to the bottom of the card.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Hump Day!

~ Donna

Sorry this didn't post sooner, I got it started and then "squirrel" and off I went to do something else and then before I knew it, the computer was off and I was headed to bed.  Yikes!
