Stampin' Up! Remarkable You

When I first saw the stamp set Remarkable You, Stampin' Up! I knew just how I wanted to use it - a background stamped in a paler colour Mint Macaroon) and the outline image stamped in a colour to match a matting frame of the same colour...

On a Whisper White face cut 1/4 of an inch smaller than the base card, I stamped the background stamp in Mint Macaroon or Crumb Cake or Tip Top Taupe.  I then stamped the image and Greeting in a coordinating colour - Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush or Garden Green...

Stampin' Up! SAB Botanicals for You

SAB is a fantastic time of year to purchase all of those stamps left on your wish list and earn FREE stamp sets.  This year my favourite resulted in seeing this layout on Pinterest - I LOVE IT.  So it was recreated in Night of Navy and Silver butterflies....

and in Elegant Eggplant and Gold Butterflies...


A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Botanicals for You

The card is layered on a Whisper White base, Whisper White face on Elegant Eggplant.  The face was cut 1/4 inch smaller than the base card, the mat cut 1/8 inch smaller than the base card, thus giving the 1/8 inch matting.  The background was stamped in So Saffron, but you could stamp in anything from So Saffron, Mint Macaroon, Pink Pirouette or Sky Blue just to name a few.

Stampin' Up! Bohemian Border

Masculine Cards using Stampin' Up! Bohemian Border was a great idea for my class this month.  The use of Real Red and Old Olive stampin and Chocolate Chip sponging to accentuate the embossing folder worked a treat on this card...

Stampin' Up! Gift Tags

Sale-a-bration is a great time for me to take the time to make some tags of Thank you.  For ladies who attended class and placed orders, I created thank you tags with ribbon, to wrap around their SAB items  - all a little different, each a one off...

Pool Party card stock stamped in Tempting Turquoise

A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Remarkable You & Stampin' Up! Cottage Greetings.



Tags are easy to create and look great as a small gesture of appreciation.
To create these tags I simply cut out a 2 inch strip of Stampin' Up! Card stock, 4 inches in length and used Stampin' Up! Tag punches to sculpture the tag end. 
I then stamped the card stock with a coordinating colour and then stamped the greeting to match.
Too easy ;-)
