Stampin' Up Happy Birthday Thinlit & Springtime Foils
Have you ever had a card that you thought would go together quick and easy then everything that could go wrong did? Well, that was this card for me. Inky fingers and wayward glue caused me quite a few headaches but I was determined to finish it and not scrap it. I persevered and love the final result.
I absolutely adore the Happy Birthday Thinlit! It is so versatile. You can use the entire die cut or trim it into "Happy" or "Birthday" It provides a dramatic layer when cut from foil. For this card I cut it from a Copper Foil Sheet and paired it with the beautiful Springtime Foils. Thrifty tip: I cut the Happy Birthday and stars from the center of the Copper Foil layer since only the edges of the layer would be seen. I colored the Springtime Foils with Bermuda Bay reinker then layered it over the Copper Foil then popped it up on a Whisper White A2 card base. I got the idea for the banners behind the die cut from Jessica Frost- Ballas. I love the banners! They provide the perfect backdrop for the diecut.

Celebrate Stampin' Up Daisy Delight
I love word dies! The Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration Celebrate You Thinlit Dies are fantastic! I particularly like the Celebrate die. I paired it with daisies from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and love the results. I think it it is both festive and elegant.
I started my card by cutting a 4 x 5.25 piece of Whisper White Cardstock then dry embossed it with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. I wiped my Embossing Buddy across the entire embossed layer then flicked water on half the layer with a clean wet paintbrush then sprinkled gold embossing powder on the wet spots and heat embossed it. I repeated the process for the other half. I stamped four daisy images and several leaves from the stamp set with Versamark ink on vellum cardstock then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I watercolored the embossed daisies then punched them out with the daisy punch. I layered two daisies together with a little glue then arranged all the pieces around the Celebrate gold foil die cut. I embellished with gold thread and metallic sequins then popped the completed layer up on a thick whisper white A2 card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. I think it turned out both festive and elegant.

Well, this is a first...
Welcome to my blog! This is my first blog post ever. I thought I would start by posting a few Stampin' Up card creations from the past year. I am a terrible photographer, so my photos do not do my labors of love justice. One of my goals for this year is to learn to photograph my creations. I often just take a quick photo as I am preparing a card for mailing. Too frequently, I forget to take a picture at all. I am happy you found me and hope you enjoy!
