Bling and Hats Off by Stampin Up®

So glad you dropped by today!  Do you have ladies or girls in your life that wear hats all the time?  I do! 

 When I initially saw the Hats Off bundle I thought of all the masculine cards I could make with this set and I went to work creating cards.

Then I saw a hat at my daughters house that she wears frequently that was all jazzed up and I got the inspiration to do this card!

I chose to do it using our purple families as I have several of my current friends and customers that are in love with purple.  So this card is for all the purple lovers out there!

I also used the new Spiral Dye Stamp to create the design on the hat!

I hope you enjoy this card and please leave me a comment below!  I love to hear from all of you!

Hand Penned quick and easy "Get Well Card"

Welcome to my blog today!  Today I've created a Get Well card using the Hand-Penned Suite by Stampin Up®.

This suite includes the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle (Stamp set and Dies), Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and Genial Gems.

The Hand-Penned Petals stamp set is a two-step stamping set.  What's unique about this set is that the second stamp image is a water color image and does not fit exactly into the first stamped image.  That's what gives it the water color look.  For those of us that that struggle with two-step stamping this set is perfect for you!  You don't have to be perfect to make this card look great!

For this card I added in the Through it Together stamp set, Pale Papaya ribbon, Garden Green and Pale Papaya Cardstock.
