New Stampin' Up! Products

I just made a book to keep track of my favorite Stampin' Up! color combinations. Yeah, I know, I'm kind of a dork. But isn't it pretty? I used several products from the new catalog. This is a color combination I would have never thought of using:) The pages are cardstock and I bound the book with my Cinch from We Are Memory Keepers.

Card Ministry

This card design is from Brenda Quintana, and she has a video:) http://qbeesquest.blogspot.com/2015/03/modern-label-punch-cross-card.html

Crosses of Hope Stamp set

Modern Label Punch

Blackberry Bliss ink pad

1.          Cut a piece of white cardstock 3 x 4 ½ turn over to wrong side facing up.

2.          Line up in the corner of a piece of grid paper.

3.          Draw a line at 1 ½ inch, which is the center.

4.          Make a mark ½ inch from the top

5.          Make another mark ¾ inch from the bottom

6.          Draw a tiny arrow to remind which end is the top.

7.          Use the Modern Label punch. From the top, slide it into the punch. Slide the punch all the way in and enter it. The width of the cardstock is about the width of the punch. Punch, now you have the horizontal piece of the cross.

8.          Then line up the punch the other way looking for the little mark at the top. Make sure the mark is in the center on the right of the punch and that the pencil line is directly in the center.

9.          Then line up the punch with the mark you made at the bottom of the card stock. Make sure again that it is centered. Punch once more.      

10.      Stamp sentiment on the other side, the right side.                                                                                                                                                                               

11.      Cut DSP cut a 2 ¾ x 4 ¼ 

12.      Cut card base 5 ½ x 8 ½ and score at 4 ¼

13.      Cut cs mat 3 ½ x 5

14.      Adhere mat to the card base

15.      Glue/tape DSP to mat

Accessories	White Bakers Twine
Tools	Butterflies Thinlits

Project Details
Stamps	The Creation of Adam, Genesis
Card Stock & Papers	Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant
Ink	Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
I have a very old stamp of  The Creation of Adam  by Stamp of Excellence. It’s that fresco painting by Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, which illustrates the creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which God breathes life into Adam. It must be 20 years old and I love it dearly! We first stamped that, then masked it and stamped a background script of the book of Genesis by Stamp Out Cute on it over top. On the inside we used a stamp of the Lord’s prayer. Stamp Out Cute has gone out of business, and Stamp of Excellence no longer has the Creation of Adam stamp. I'm SO GLAD I kept them!!

Blooms and Butterflies

Spring is my favorite time of the year, especially in the deep south. Although I generally like summer and the beach, I can't really say I'm a fan of July and August in Carolina, as it can get right HOT.

Think Spring

I absolutely ADORE this first stamp set!! Butterfly Basics is the most versatile and fun to create with. I enjoy stamping the insides and envelopes almost as much as the card fronts! lol

The second card was done using a set called Big Day and it is one of the things that you can get for FREE during the SALE-A-BRA-TION annual sale. For each $50.00 you spend, you can earn one FREE item from the SALE-A-BRA-TION catalog.

The last card was done with a stamp for the Ocassions Mini Catalog, called Love Is Kindness. Coloring this stamp with alcohol ink markers is sooo easy and fun, plus you can earn them for FREE during SALE-A-BRA-TION too!
