Stampin Magazine Inspirations

Stampin' Up demonstraters receive a monthly magazine with sales articles and card ideas.  I was inspired to make these cards from ones in the magazines.  None of them are exactly the same, but they have similar layouts and color combinations.

This is a 3x3 thank you card.
Cardstock:  So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Whispher White
Stamps:  Flower Fest, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink:  Melon Mambo, So Saffron
Accessories:  Rhinestones, Paper crimper

This is a birthday card in soft colors.
Cardstock:  Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Whisper White
Ink:  Baja Breeze, Grey, Peach Parfait, So Saffron, Blushing Bride
Stamps:  Flower Fest, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories:  White ribbon, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Pearls

This card is an odd size.  I wanted it to be 6x 3/14, but I didn't have any Stampin' Up paper that was 12x12, so it is 51/2 by 31/4.  It will fit in SU small open end envelopes.
Cardstock:  Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight
Stamps:  Word Play
Accessories:  Brights Buttons, Linen Thread, Sizzix Daisies 2 Die

Happy I Do Day

Here's a card I made for a wedding of some friends.  Their colors were black and white. 

Cardstock: Glossy White cardstock, Basic Black
Stamps:  Word Play
Accessories:  Scallop punch, white embossing powder, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, random ribbon
Rhinestone (on top of the ring)

Red and Turquoise

I've seen this color combination several times in the last couple of weeks and thought it would make a great card.  The new set from the new SU catalog with doilies has also popped up several times.  I remembered this Day of Gratitude set from last fall which is also in the new catalog and thought it would create a similar look.

Cardstock:  Read Red, Tempting Turqoise, Whisper White

Stamps:  Day of Gratitude, Tiny Tags

Accessories:  Tiny Tags punch, Scallop Trip Border punh, Real Read satin ribbon, white embossing powder, Vintage Trinkets



Fabulous Florets

For some reason I love the shape of this flower from Fabulous Florets.  You can stamp it on different colors of paper or on white to change the look completely.

Stamps:  Fabulous Florets, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock:  Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Tangerine Tango

Ink:  Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Real Red

Accessories:  Brights Brads, Flower Garden Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch

Purple Daisies

I was really excited to get the Daisies 2 Bigz Die and at first just made some pretty flowers.  These thank you cards were what resulted when I finally decided to do something with the flowers that had been laying in my workspace.

Stamps:  Watercolor Trio (Retired)
