I had some friends over stamping a bit ago, and Sherri was trying to make a Triple Time card, so I thought I would give it a go,  make a video to help her out, and share it with you too.

This technique has been around for a very long time, I remember doing it 25 years ago, but it’s always fun when it comes around again, and you can try it with new stamp sets, so I picked my two all time favorites from Stampin Up, SUMMER SILHOUETTES AND FABULOUS FLORETS, then I had to thrown in my NEW favorite sentiment set from the upcoming new Annual Catalog – REALLY GOOD GREETINGS.  Then of course I had to sneak in a second technique – STAMPIN RESIST, LOL..so you get a lesson on HEAT EMBOSSING too!..LOL…

I even did a full tutorial for you as well, you can find it here:  Fabulous Florets Triple Time Card-S

and here is the video!

Hi stampers, happy Monday hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My share today is some thank you cards I made for some very special people, and I’m sharing some that I received from some very special people too.  I have the best customers/friends.

My thank you cards are created with the lovely (and oh so fun to play with), POP-UP POSIES DESIGNER KIT, page 18 of the Spring Catalog….and it comes with this cute stamp too!…and the embossed tags (in crumb cake), and all the cut out flowers, in Calypso Coral and Pool Party.  So, I simply grabbed some designer paper, created a card base also from Crumb Cake, and these cute cards came together in no time….and then they went out into the mail

And I received some beautiful cards and gifts from friends recently that I wanted to share with you

Like this lovely card and gift I received recently from Jacqueline.  Don’t you love how she used the outline from the JUST THINKING STAMP, and instead of the sentiment, she added that beautiful flower from CREATIVE ELEMENTS – and the Maple Syrup, was absolutely lovely over blueberry waffles, LOL  Ian and I thank you again Jacqueline.

and my friend Chris sent me this beautiful thank you card.  Chris is the Queen of die cutting and layering, check out all the beautiful layers on this card, thank you Chris.  She used the En Francais background Stamp and then over-stamped the seed pods for a stunning 3/d effect on the art work.  Thank you again Chris.

and then I have to thank my friend Lynne for this very special gift

A whole book about Corgi’s, LOL…Ian and I enjoyed reading this so much, and afterwards, I think Oscar and Miss Lucy enjoyed me reading it to them, LOL..this is a treasure, created by Tasha Tudor, thank you again Lynne, that was so very thoughtful of you.

and thank you for stopping in today,  see you tomorrow with more shares.

Hugs and Happy Stamping,

and here are my 4 cards, I added the red designer paper to add a pop of color, and of course, I didn’t follow the instructions, LOL

and here are my previous months cards as well, to give you some alternatives….that’s what I love about the kits, you take the idea they give you in the instructions, and just expand on it!.  and GUESS WHAT?

New in studio Class announced yesterday -check it out here

and, Tuesday I took a day off from creating, and cleaned my studio….mostly because I ran out of room and could not find ANYTHING – LOL – cleaning always renews my creativity so yesterday I had a full day of creating.  I made the cutest little gift card holder for Stamping and Blogging – a brand new design – ladies (and gents Hi Darrell!), the video and tutorial will both be loaded this morning.  Then, I started creating with a new stamp set, JUST MARRIED from page 8 of the Spring Catalog – not because I needed a wedding card, but because I needed a birthday card, and I absolutely adore the cake in that stamp set – and this would make a very nice wedding card too – just change the sentiment to “congratulations” and color the cake the colors the couple chose for their wedding.

Card Recipe is at the bottom of this post (in pink)

isn’t it cute!….love, love love!…here is how I colored it.

I used my Stampin Write Markers, Gumball Green, Melon Mambo, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Regal Rose, colored right onto the stamp.  Then, I cut them out with my Labels Framelits and my Big Shot.

Next, I got rid of a little frustration by stabbing my card stock – multiple times, tee hee…ok, we call it “Piercing”, with the piercing tool, piercing mat, and the Festive Paper Piercing Pack.

Which adds a nice detailed layer without adding bulk.  love the clean lines, and white on white!…really makes that cake pop!..

and did you happen to notice this little goodie at the top of my card?  It’s created with Stampin’ Up’s! new, SIMPLY PRESSED CLAY and the BUTTONS & BLOSSOMS CLAY MOLDS….crazy fun, and sorry, I can’t demo them until the catalog goes live, but I can show you some finished ones that I have been playing with.

The clay is very pliable, comes white, so you add a couple of drops of reinker, blend it and then pop the clay in the mold…The instructions tell you to wear rubber gloves for this – very good idea – I had Melon Mambo fingers and nails for two days!…..hair shampoo gets rid of it by the way ladies…..LOL…

anyway, that was yesterday, today is a brand new day!…so I’m off to get my chores done so I can play (ehem, work in my studio for the day), I have new ideas burning a hole in my little brain, LOL. I’ll share them tomorrow – another for you, and another for Stamping and Blogging…..until then…Happy Stamping

I had so much fun with this Dolled Up Birthday Kit from Stampin Up Yesterday…..it was fun, because everything came in the cute little package, I didn’t have to cut a thing, just get out my adhesive…and open it up!…

DOLLED UP BIRTHDAY KIT – Item #133913 $15.95 (and worth every penny)!

Here is how the kit arrives, all cut, everything inside that you need to create SIX Cards, and of course, you can carry on and just put them together OR – you can grab the ELEMENTS OF STYLE STAMP SET

Elements of Style Stamp set #118611 (wood) #120045 (clear) – RETIRING

and have some additional fun!.

just move the pieces around for some different and fun layouts…and add a little sponging and stamping

Here is card #1 – I stamped the flower image again, and added just a hint of color with my Cherry Cobbler Ink pad lid and my Aqua Painter.

Card #2 – move the art over to the left side, and add some stamping on the doily and the corners of the card base, you get the idea right……

I’m going to miss this stamp set and I have great memories of some fun classes with it!

This was a Class we did up in Sequim Washington, what a hoot 50+ stampers from all over the States and Canada boy we had a fun weekend.

This was my swap card for that Sequim event, and when I got home, I shared a tutorial on how I created it – You can find that here:

and there was this shutter card that was part of a class here in Portland, talk about ink fingers, LOL…

I could probably share a hundred cards I created with this set, and you know, it’s not going to be in my upcoming garage sale!..If you don’t have it yet!…it’s a keeper!..and only available until the end of this month!… CLICK HERE to order it online right now!

I hope you had as much fun stamping yesterday as I did!.see you tomorrow – I have MORE STAMPING FUN for you!…in my quest to clean up and finish all the projects in my studio before the new catalog goes live, LOL….WILL SHE MAKE IT?  tee hee….
