Today's card is another CASE from Deb Currier. I wish I could get a better photo. I used the Banner framelits to cut a piece of vellum and then I punched the top edge of the banner with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch. The vellum was adhered using mini glue dots hidden beneath the button and heart.  All the stamp images come in the Work of Art stamp set.

Brushstroke Background

This is another quick and easy card using the brushstroke stamp from the Work of Art stamp set with the image from theFigts of Kindness stamp set. I wanted to keep this card simple but you could easily take it to another level by moving the stamped image up a bit and adding a ribbon or bow at the stem. This is CASE from Vicki Burdick. And think of all the different color combos you could use for the background!

Fabulous Work of Art

Today's card is a CASE Mary Fish at Stampinpretty. This is a really quick card to make, The only part that takes much time is cleaning the stamp between the colors. I really like the new InColors but hadn't opened my Tangelo Twist stamp pad until making this card! I'll be using these colors some more for fall cards.

Work of Art for this Week

For this week I've decided to feature the Work of Art stamp set from Stampin' UP! When I first saw this stamp set I knew I wanted it. I've had it for some time and have used it a bit but had never really played with it. There are so many cards I've pinned to my CARDS board on Pinterest using it so, in celebration of World Card Making day I pulled it out and created cards. I'll be sharing one each day of this week.

Today's card is really very simple and a CASE from Deb Currier at ARTfelt Impressions. 

I used the Natural and Old Olive Two Tone Trim from the Holiday catalog. The zig zag image was stamped off (ink up the stamp then stamp on scrap paper before stamping on your card stock) to give a lighter impression. 

The card stock for the base is the Naturals Ivory from Stampin' UP! That was a happy accident. I'm running low on Very Vanilla and waiting for my order to arrive. So, decided to use the Naturals and it really looks nicer with the trim than the vanilla would have. I love it when things just come together.  I don't know if you noticed it but there is a little rhinestone gem inside the hear. It adds just a bit of sparkle to the card. 

Happy Monday, Happy stamping!

It's a Cupcake Kind of Day!

Today's card uses a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Lullaby pack. I punched circles from pieces of card stock and scattered them on the DSP. Tied a ribbon and placed the largest circle over it with dimensionals. Then I got out the Cupcake Builder punch and retired Create a Cupcake stamp set and made the cupcake with the cherry on top. Have you noticed the new Cupcake Party stamp set on page 58 in the Stampin' Up! catalog? I'm adding it to my Christmas list because the images are so darn cute!

Age Awareness

Here's another card using the Age Awareness photopolymer stamp set. I love how easily you can mix and match the expressions when using photopolymer sets. The Designer Series Paper is from the Flowerpot pack. One of my siblings has a birthday this month and since he's a bit older than me (not quite 14 years) I just had to rub it in a bit. The inside expression says, "You look way better at this age than I thought you would." It also comes in the Age Awareness stamp set. And he does look pretty good for his age... all my oldest sibs do. Hope it's in the genes!

Petite Pairs Stamp Set

Here's two cards using the Petite Pairs stamp set that is currently on sale October 1-6 from Stampin' Up! It's a great set as the expressions can be used paired or alone. The top card also uses the Age Awareness stamp set and the layout design is a CASE from Linda Heller. 

The bottom card is a repeat design from a previous post. But if you missed that one it uses the Homemade Holiday framelits to make the arrows. Just use the tall skinny house framelit and cut of the chimney after you run the DSP through the Big Shot. I've used up some retired DSP scraps and the last of my retired More Mustard cardstock. Yippee! More room for other card stock and it's on sale now, too until October 6th!

Happy October! Happy stamping!
