NEW Catalog Sneak Peek #3 - Hostess Set: Pun Intended

I made this card today from one of the NEW Hostess Sets available in the new catalog June 1st.

 It's called 'Pun Intended'. I love this old Retro looking camera in this set.

NEW Catalog Sneak Peek #2 - Painter's Palette

I love this set, however I admit that it took some playing around until I made a card that I was truly happy with. It happens sometimes. Somedays creativity and inspiration overflows and other days.... Nothing. Ha. I am happy with this one though. I think the side step card helps to really show off the easel.
For this card I teamed up NEW set 'Painter's Palette' with 'Work of Art' featuring NEW In Color 'Sweet Sugarplum'.

NEW Catalog Sneak Peek #1 - Perfectly Wrapped

I love many things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator but being able to pre-order new product has got to be one of my favourites.
Here are a couple cards from the new set 'Perfectly Wrapped'. And yes! Both cards feature NEW In Colours. Pretty aren't they? The NEW Catalog launches June 1st.

Z Fold Card with a Floating Strip

How fun is this fold?! I love the floating strip. It just adds a little extra. 

It's also a quick and simple fold and you can make the card as simple or intricate as you like.

Today I was playing around with the set 'A Grateful Bunch'. I thought these could make for some good Mother's Day cards. Pssst. It's Mother's Day next weekend.

To make this fold all you need is a card base. 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Floating strip is 11" x 1' scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

The card folds flat and fits perfectly into a size A2 envelope, Easy right?!

Inchies Card - Love you sew

The Hostess Set 'Love you sew' is perfect for an 'Inchie Card'.

It would make a great Mother's Day card or maybe even a 'Just Because' card. 

No crazy techniques here. Just a simple, fun card.

Mini Gable Easter Box

This mini Gable Box all started from the tutorial found HERE on SplitCoastStampers. 

I followed the directions to make one, pretty soon realizing it was going to be way too big for what I had imagined. So, I down scaled it a bit, and this is the end result. 

Happy Easter!

Easter Baker's Box

This little Easter treat box was made from Stampin' Up!s Baker's Box Thinlit Die. The Easter Lamb stamp is just too cute! I used the 'Hardwood' background stamp on the box itself on Soft Sky cardstock using Soft Sky ink. I then stamped the lamb on Smoky Slate cardstock with Black Archival ink and then used a brush dipped in White Craft ink (mixed with a little water) to colour in the lambs wool. I used Fringe Scissors to cut the grass and white bakers twine to make the little bow.
Fill with little Easter eggs or candy and you are good to go.
