SCS Challenge Card

While thawing out today (after being outside at work) I thought I would play along with today's SCS color challenge. You needed to use the colors Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Blush Blossom in your card. I used the retired ornament punch from the winter mini to make the the vase, and then ran it through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I used the SAB Scallop Trim Border Punch for the side border. Here's the details - thanks for stopping by:

Vintage Vogue

This weeks LNS challenge is to make a vintage style card, and I think the Vintage Vogue stamp set from the Occasions mini is a great set to use for this challenge! This is a quick card I came up with. I used a note card for the focal point and trimmed it down a tad. I used the new SAB Scallop Trim Border Punch for the border at the bottom. Have a great day everyone - I'm off to work and hope I can stay warm!!! Details:

Card with Sweet Cups

I saw a card on Lynn Put's blog and a tutorial for creating a sliding door to use with the Sweet Cups. Lynn has some great instructions on her blog: http://thequeensscene.blogspot.com. The tricky part is creating the backing and layering, but once you've done one it's pretty easy to do from there. It's a great way to get the candy out of the sweet cups without ripping the card apart. I really love the new designer paper, Sending Love Specialty, in the Occasions Mini. It's very heavy and has a pretty glittery design to it. Here's the details:

Stamps: Well Scripted, Sweetheart (both from the Occasions Mini)
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Real Red
Papers: Very Vanilla, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Sending Love Specialty DP
Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Sweet Cups, Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch, Heart Punch, Round Tab Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch (for the SAB brochure) Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals

Happy Moments SAB Card

I went to bed last night with this card "stuck" in my head.........so here it is. I like how it turned out; it's simple, clean and I think cute. I used the Designer Label Punch at the bottom right-hand corner and then stamped the image on the inside of the note card. Colored in with markers, lined up the Vanilla Designer Holder and pierced where I wanted to set the brads. I then ran just the front of the card through my BS using the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. Secured the designer holder and added some Apricot Appeal ribbon. Fast, easy and cute card!

Inks: Basic Black, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace

SAB Butterfly Card

I saw a really cute card on the Stampin' Connection today and thought I would case it. (SC is Stampin' Up!'s version of FaceBook and SCS for demonstrators.)

One is made using the new Scallop Trim Corner Punch and the other the Ticket Corner Punch. The butterflies were made using the Big Shot and the new SU Embosslit Die, Beautiful Wings. I used the new SAB Vintage Labels clear mounted stamp set for the saying. The raised dots on the Whisper White c/s were made using the new Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. The ribbons are also from the new Occasion Mini, and I used Chocolate Chip 5/8" Satin Ribbon on one card, and Pretty in Pink on the other. Here's the rest of the details:

This is a card I made for another LNS challenge using the SAB set, Happy Moments. This is such a fun set!! After I cut a piece of YoYo Yellow c/s using the Top Note Die, I ran it through my Big Shot again using the new Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder (from the new Occasions Mini).
