5/24 Stampin' Up! Swallowtail Sympathy

2013-05-24T12:11:00.001-05:00

I just love the Swallowtail stamp in the Spring Mini (which will also be carrying over into the 2013-14 Catalog). I love how you can decorate gift bags just by stamping it with various bright and happy colors onto the bag, add a bow and it's done. But, I also love how it looks on cards. I've used it several times on cards and I've achieved various looks with it as you can see HERE and HERE.

Today I want to share a more somber look with Swallowtail. I stamped it with Early Espresso onto a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then layered it onto a skinny mat of Elegant Eggplant. The sentiment from Love and Sympathy stamped with Elegant Eggplant. The base of the card is Crumb Cake with a crooked panel of Wisteria Wonder trimmed even.

The inside of the card is stamped with more images from Love and Sympathy . . . nice and easy and my customers can count on this card being on the board for my May and June Card Buffets. If you are local to the Twin Cities area and would like more information about my Card Buffet, just click HERE.

Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by Stamping to Share! My daughter graduates from high school today so we are busy cleaning for the big party that we are having tomorrow to celebrate her accomplishments.

5/21 May 2013 Scrapbook Pages

2013-05-21T10:28:00.000-05:00

I was in a Scrapbooking Swap last summer at Convention and I've used the pages here and there throughout the year. With my Spring Schedule heating up, I turned to these pages to help me through the month of May with my Open Scrapbook Club. The layout above was created by Tiffany Bauer and my customers loved it! The designer series paper (now on discount) that we used is soon to be retired and it is called World Spectacular. The stamp set on these pages is called Flowering Flourishes.

Glenda Travelstead designed these pages for our swap and they were also a big hit at my class. The Flower Framelits are so pretty and show off the 2012-14 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack off perfectly. We used the alphabet stamp set . . . which really does look kind of "lazy" called Notable Alphabet. All of the flowers that you see stamped on this page came from the stamp set called Betsy's Blossoms.

I hope you enjoy these pages as much as my customers did! And again, a special thanks to Glenda and Tiffany for their wonderful pages and willingness to share. Have a great day!!
