A Tropical Fare Well

It will be a sad day to see one of my co-workers go!

She will be retiring at the beginning of June and moving away so it's not even like we'll be able to see her from time to time...

I wanted to make her a card that we could all sign so she remembers us!

I decided to use the Tropical Chic stamp set as it is definitely one of my all time favorites as well as using a sketch from Poetic Artistry (aka Mojo Monday). I really enjoy doing her sketches from time to time, they are so fun and really help with the creation if you struggle a little as I do 😁

It is sometimes so easy to use the Tropical Escape Suite, it comes together so well...

By using a chunk of the DSP that didn't have any of the coordinating Pink color in it, I could use any of the pink colors I wanted... I used the 2018-2020 in color Lovely Lipstick and the Flirty Flamingo to give the flower texture. I did the same things with the greens on the leaves as well.

I just love the multi-color look that is so easy to achieve by stamping with your lighter color first then simply sponging on the darker color where desired.

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it. I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card. Sketch 319 For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper. I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card. I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly. She had a template designed, but of coa...

June's Door Prize

I am really excited for this months Card Club because it will be the first time doing it at my house. I cleaned up an end of my basement and we are going to do it there. It will be so much easier doing it at home, I tend to forget things and even thought it was only next door. It was a royal pain in the you know what to go get what I forgot. I hope it isn't to crowed down there but I guess we will see! ANYWAYS I don't have the cards yet but I have the Door Prize all done! Wallet Style Smash Book I had found a video on Youtube on how this amazing project was done! I like to have printable instructions so I used the measurements she had for the main wallet and I added the measurements I used for the tags in the wallet and used my pictures. I will add my instructions and hopefully you can print them for yourselves.
