  • Pretty Perfectly Preserved Pears

    Talk about a tongue twister, huh!?  🙂

    Well, after a great weekend away with my mom (we flew to Utah late last week for a weekend scrapbooking retreat in Utah), I’m back and blogging.  I have to say, there is nothing like a weekend dedicated to creating and actually having the time to get some projects done!  I was on the plane flying home and was ready and eager to finish the project I was in the middle of and keep the creative ball rolling.  Of course then reality (and dentist appointments and household tasks) cropped up today… but still!

    Anyway, enough about me… how about a cute card to look at?

     

    Perfectly Preserved In Color Card

    This card was created by the awesome designers at Stampin’ Up!  (see, I love the resources and inspiration provided by Stampin’ Up! because I know I wouldn’t have thought of this color combination for pears – but isn’t it pretty?!

    Plus this card shows some fun ways to use some of the new goodies from the Holiday catalog.

    Quickcan you guess how many new items are showcased in this card?
    Just a fun little challenge.

    Alright, you ready?

    1.  Perfectly Preserved stamp set

    2.  Cannery framelits

    3.  Orchard Harvest designer paper

    4.  Woodgrain embossing folder

    5.  Brushed Bronze designer buttons

     

    And the colors, that I was saying I didn’t think of for pears are Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, and Island Indigo (sigh… Island Indigo… I have a serious crush on this color right now! 🙂 )

    So, hope you enjoyed the card and I’ll be back soon with more ideas for you!


    Have you seen the new Single Stamps being offered?
    Stampin’ Up! is testing out selling individual stamps from certain stamp sets to see how people like the option of buying parts vs the whole thing of a stamp set.  So, if you love the idea, grab them now since this program is only available through the end of the year!

  • Who Knew a Canning Jar Stamp Could Be So Cute?!

    I was putting together this month’s Cards to Go kits and knew I wanted to break out a bunch of my new goodies from the Holiday catalog and so I started mixing and matching things from my shelves.  Now, sometimes this random grab and go process ends in something that looks like one of my cats ate a bunch of craft supplies and then spit it up on my table… but thankfully this was not one of those times!  Ha ha!

    Well, I started with the Canning Jar stamp from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set.  Ever since I first saw this stamp set, I totally loved it – I just didn’t know what I would do with it.  Well, how about this:

    I think it is sweet!  Oh, and I have some totally fun ideas that I’m going to be putting together later this week to share too.  But anyway, back to this card. 🙂

    I had the 7/8” Cotton ribbon and I just had to experiment with stamping on it.  I would say SUCCESS!  (Plus, you can’t see the part of the ribbon that I played with before the ink dried and thus totally smeared the ink around the ribbon surface… but lets just say, lesson learned.)  Oh, and did you notice the Core’dinations cardstock too?

    So, there you go… my first and definitily not my last, Perfectly Preserved card sample.  I knew there was a reason I loved it!

    Coming up in tomorrow’s post:  I just had to share a scrapbook layout I created today along with what happens when your 2.5 yr old is unattended in your craft room and they discover the marker you used to journal in said scrapbook page!

    But until then….
