Playing with the NEW Stuff!

It's Friday once again and the new Idea Book & Catalog is release is right around the corner, so over at the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showing off some of our new things! Here is my card--

I used a new single stamp called Blended Bloom (#135906, $11.95) and a set from the 2013-14 IB&C called Lots of  Thanks (#129687, $22.95). My card is made with 4 of the new 2014-16 InColors, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist and Lost Lagoon. It's a very CAS (Clean And Simple) card, it was part of my Stamp A Stack line up.

Contact me today if you would like a copy of the new IB&C for yourself.

Retirement 2014

We are showing a few of our Retiring Stamp Sets over at the Sisters in Stamping blog this week. Here is my card--

You may recognize it from this post, from about a year ago. This stamp set One in a Million is Retiring along with the Tastfully Trim BigShot die that made the waves. I'm really sad to see that die retire it is one of my favorites. You could make this card in any color combination and it would be just as nice.

Thank-you for coming by today! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Mother's Day Card

Well, we are into May now-- what happened to April?! May means Mother's Day is right around the corner, and the Sisters in Stamping are showing you cards today for Fabulous Friday, because everyone knows handmade cards are the only way to go! Here is my card for today--

Still working out of my retirement box, every year when SU! announces the retirement list I gather all of my stuff and put it all in one box and set it next to my desk. This time I used a stamp set called Springtime Hello out of my box, it's a small set that you may have missed in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I have been wanting to use it for awhile now and a Mother's Day card seemed like the perfect choice. Just so you know this lovely little set did not make the new 2014-15 IB&C. The lace ribbon, the background stamp En Francis and the folder that made the frame around the flowers are retiring too.

Happy Stamping! Karla c(:

PS. See you next week!

Talkin' Retirement List

Hey! Here's my card for today's post--

Everything I used on my card is on the retiring list (except the Early Espresso card stock). The stamp set Animal Talk is one of my favorites and fairly new to the Stampin' Up! catalog so, I was surprised to see it on the Retirement List....boo-hoo!

See you next week!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Easter Treats for Friday

Easter is right around the corner and the Sisters in Stamping are posting Easter treats for Fabulous Friday projects. Here is my project for this week--

 I made a little carrot using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (#133324, $22.95). After I punched it I ran it through the BigShot with the Fancy Fan embossing folder (#127751, $7.95).

 I sure hope that this punch makes the new 2014-15 IB&C, I think it would make fabulous gift tags for Christmas presents.

I tucked a small Lindt milk chocolate bunny inside and stamped Happy Easter, tied it up with 3 pieces of 3/8" Stitched Satin Gumball Green Ribbon. Which reminds me that ribbon will be retiring soon along with stamps, Designer Series Paper and accessories-- the Annual Retirement Sale. Stampin' Up! has changed both categories, stamps and accessories to WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. The list will be posted this coming Monday April 21, send me a note and I'll make sure you get a copy hot off the presses.

Thank-you for dropping by--
Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Quatrefancy Friday

Well hey there! It's Friday once again and the Sisters in Stamping are using pretty paper. Here is my card for this week--

I used the stamp set Hello, Lovely (2013-14 IB&C, pg.22) and Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper pack (#130141, $12.95). I used a technique I have wanting to try for some time now called Starburst. I found this video by Dawn O. that gives fantastic instructions, it was easy and fun to put this card together.

Happy Stamping! See you next week-- Karla c(:

Spring Fever for Friday

    I don't know about you but I'm really tired of snow. I picked Spring cards for the Fabulous Friday post this week on the Sisters in Stamping blog hoping that just the mere thought of flowers and butterflies would brighten my spirits. Here is my project--

    The original idea came from a card that my good friend Jen Sannes sent to me a couple of months ago-- it was SO DANG CUTE I had to CASE it!! I used Sahara Sand and Wisteria Wonder. Speaking of Jen, she has started a new venture here is a link for you to go and check it out-- leave a comment for her so she knows you stopped by!

    You will have to go over and check out what the other Sisters have made. Come back for next week for some projects made with Designer Series Paper.

Thank-you for coming by!
