Everyday Arches Bundle (Online Exclusive w/ StampinUP)

Currently, this featured bundle is unavailable but the Everyday Arches will be returning.  (it's been a VERY popular seller & keeps running out!!)
 
Anyway, for this creation I used the color combo of:  Fresh Freesia, White, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy.  Gold Embellishments and seam binding finish this card.
 

 

                                                                                
I used a circle punch here to make a moon (simply punch it 2 different times)  We made this card at a class, and everyone seemed to like the design!

 

 


The StampinUP colors here consist of:  White, Night of Navy, Petal Pink and Balmy Blue

 


I used the featured Everyday Arches Dies on this creation also.  The Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper is a background layer (pg. 120-- Annual Catalog).

Terrific Toadstools by StampinUP used on 3 cards here.......


The Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set & Punch did carry over to the new Annual Catalog!!  I have found out from folks that these whimsical products are loved by some & hated by others (no in-between at all unfortunately).  Personally, I'm on the side that loves this duo  :  )
 
 All 3 cards today feature these products found on page 101 & I hope I can sway you in my direction a bit!

 


 Several colors are used on this creation:  White, Daffodil Delight, Azure Afternoon, Summer Splash, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie.

 


 Although these DSP strips come from a retired Sale-A-Bration item, you could easily switch out to some paper you have on hand and/or current StampinUP.  "Poppin' up to say hi"--how FUN is that?

Thanking You (big single stamp) carried over in the NEW ANNUAL CATALOG!

 

 This designer paper is now retired, but the featured stamp can be found on page 98 in the current Annual Catalog.  I used some white bakers twine & 3 pretty gems to finish this creation!!

 

More retired products (embossing folder) are used here but again, the "Thanking You" big single stamp is current.  I used some Stampin' Write Markers to get a variety of color highlights on the stamp!

With You In Mind Stamp Set used on 5 cards here.....ENJOY!!

 

 Hi stampers!!  I'm WAY behind w/ posting here on my blog, so some of these products are retired.  I apologize for that in advance!!

This first card does feature a brand new color though (Timid Tiger).  The sentiment comes from the set called "With You In Mind" & these stamps will be featured on all 5 cards today.

The Forever Plaid 3D Emboss Folder was used, as well as new In Color Flat Pearls.

 

 

The 4 colors on this creation include:  Boho Blue (retired), Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, and White.  The designer paper called Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 was used as well as white bakers twine.  The sentiment comes from our featured stamp set & can be found on pg. 37 in the Annual Catalog.

 

 

This card was "easy peasy" and showcases the Beautiful Bokeh DSP which carried over to the new Annual Catalog.  The Heartfelt Hexagon punch was used to cut the sentiment out of Fresh Freesia card stock.  Jewels and bakers twine finished this card off nicely!

 

 


 The strips of designer paper used here come from a Sale-A-Bration product (yes, I did mention how far behind I am!!)  Anyway, this card layout is one of my faves & easy to duplicate with any DSP and circles that you have on hand.  The background layer of white card stock was embossed & again, just use any embossing folder that you like.  

 

 

Last but not least, this creation uses a cupcake and leaves from the With You In Mind Stamp Set.  The embossing folder, Exposed Brick 3D, is one of  my favorites & carried over to the new catalog.  

Hopefully, you enjoyed these 5 cards & 1 stamp set!!

To The Point Label Punch used on 3 Cards here......

 

My color combo for this creation includes:  Shy Shamrock, White, and Melon Mambo.  I used the following StampinUP products also:
 
--Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio
--Shy Shamrock Ribbon
--Bright Borders Stamp Set
--To The Point Label Punch
 
I think the designer paper came from a recent Sale-A-Bration pack!!  (sorry I'm just not sure-- because this card was made awhile ago).  Great layout though, for any punch & paper you have in your stash!!

 


 The Stripes & Florals Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes were used here.  (pg. 13 in the current Spring Mini Catalog).  I used the featured punch which got carried over to the brand new Annual Catalog coming soon.  Night of Navy Twine and ink pad were used here as well as some Stampin' Blends.  The plaid designer paper comes from Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 pack (pg. 25-- Spring Mini).

 


I used a few of the same products mentioned above in my 2nd card creation.  The Hugs for Love Stamp Set was used this time though.  (again, from the Spring Mini catalog)

2 Critter Cards Shown here today (Dog & Ducklings)

I made this creation for a recent team swap.  I used the "One More Year" stamp set.  Color combo includes:  Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, White, Daffodil Delight & Summer Splash.  (The dog house was made by using the Country Birdhouse Dies)

 

 

On this card, I used the Lily Pond Lane Suite of products.  Charming Duck Pond stamp set & dies along with the matching 6 x 6 designer paper are all featured here.

Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- April Theme is Retiring Products (Ocean Friends Bundle featured here).......

 


 Both these creations today were CASED from Julie Davison & made quite a long time ago.  Since I've not posted either one before, I thought this would be a golden opportunity to go along with our "Retiring Products" theme this month!!

Both cards have matching envelopes which were made with the Friends of the Ocean Designer Paper.  The Ocean Friends Bundle (pg. 31 of the Spring Catalog) was used for these 2 cards.  The above design also features the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

 


 I really love these BRIGHT colors that were used on the above card.  Same Bundle & DSP were used here & I made a double twine bow from Linen Thread.

 

 

 

    I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STAMPING STRAY DUCKLINGS".  WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!! 

 

Please follow along by clicking on the below links from my demo friends!!  You are sure to be inspired by more creations made by the Stamping Stray Ducklings group.......
