Dazzle Your Monday with Stampin' Up! Razzle Dazzle

Welcome to Monday! I hope my card dazzles you Stampin' Up! style today. I just love the new "In Colors" for the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! year. My favorite is definitely Soft Suede. I'm going to have to stock up on that color. I love neutrals because they go with anything!

Here are some tips for creating the card photographed above:

* Using some of the new "in colors", I paired up the Soft Suede with Crushed Curry.

* Stamp the image randomly over a 4 x 5.25 inch piece of Whisper White cardstock.

* To wrap ribbon around the entire front of the card, cut a small slit (ribbon width) in the seam of the card where you want to place your ribbon. This can be cut using a Hobby Blade. Thread the ribbon through the opening and secure with glue behind the centerpiece.

* Show your creativity by combining punches! I used the Curly Label punch behind the new Modern Label punch.

* Attach a little embellishment to finish off your creation. I used a little white button from Button Latte and tied Linen Thread through the button holes.

Coming up later today . . . Stampin' Up! Deal of the Week!

New Stampin Up Catalog Products Wedding Card - For the Newlyweds

What is clear, plastic, designer printed, and nearly effortless to use to create a card with? Stampin' Up! Printed Window Sheets!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw 2 new sets of them in the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog! I get way too excited over this stuff, I know.

The window sheet on the wedding card I created today is from the current mini catalog expiring tomorrow, but rest assured - it's also available to order from the new catalog on July 1st! These Printed Window Sheets are perfect for overlays and photo frames. You'll see them again on this blog. Hee hee! Click HERE for my 4th of July card. Aren't they fun?!

I really enjoyed creating this card because I'm a big fan of black & white. The supply list will be provided at the end of the post.

I will fill you in on a few details about creating this card:

1) The sentiment in the scallop circle is from a new set in the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Catalog. It's called Teeny Tiny Wishes. There is nothing "Teeny" about how many stamps you get in this set or how much use you'll get out of it. It's a set of 24 with all the different holidays and occasions you can think of!

2) I outlined the little scallops with the fine tip end of the Basic Black marker.

3) I cut a slit for the ribbon at the top of the card using a Hobby Blade. I punched a small circle at the top and bottom of the scallop circle. I thread the ribbon through the holes, folded them over, trimmed, and secured with a brad through the entire card front. This will hold the window sheet in place as well. No glue or tape marks - bonus!

4) I attached the entire black card on a piece of Whisper White cardstock as a base for the card. It really makes your card a little different from the rest when you add this type of background.

Just a reminder, you will be able to order from the new Stampin' Up! Catalog this Wednesday, July 1st after 12pm. Please be patient when ordering online. My site will be busy which slows things down a bit.

Have a great day!

Tiffany

Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 New "In Color" Sneak Peek

I mentioned a few posts ago I'm getting ready for a crafting garage sale in July. Upon weeding through my stamp collection & deciding what to get rid of and what to keep, I came across this stamp from Stampabilities and just love the verse:

Ask and it shall be given to you;

Seek and ye shall find;

Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Luke 11:9

The challenge in getting ready for this sale is what to keep and what not to. My rule is if I haven't used it in the last 3 years and I don't absolutely love it, it's going. Sound good? If you have any other suggestions, please let me know! What a task it has been!

This week Stampin' Up! is releasing the new catalog on July 1st!!!! I received my complimentary book and I just LOVE so much in there. I'm excited to share it with you! Here is a sneak peek of the new "In Colors" which are breathtaking!

If you would like a catalog, the cost is only $9.95 - shipping/handling is free! I added PayPal button on my right sidebar to make it easy for you to purchase your catalog. If you would like to pay by check, drop me an e-mail at tiffanyscardtique@verizon.net.

Just a reminder too . . . the last day to order any retiring stamps from the Stampin' Up! Last Chance List is June 30th!

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!!

So Long Curly Label Bundle

Good morning stampers! I'm recovering this morning from a lengthy dentist appointment I had last night after work. No fun! Thank God it's over with! The dentist is not one of my favorite places to be.

Before I head to work, I wanted to remind you that you can order from the Last Chance list until June 30th. One of my favorite Stampin' Up! items used above, Curly Label Bundle, is retiring. Boo hoo! Rest assured, the new catalog has some new punches and matching stamp sets that are just as cute!

To create today's "thank you" card using the Curly Label Bundle follow these directions:

1) Create a 4x4 card using Chocolate Chip cardstock

2) Cut and set aside a 3.75x3.75 piece of Delicate Dots (retired) patterned paper for the card front

3) Stamp in Real Red the "thank you" stamp from the Curly Label Bundle and punch out.

4) Punch out two slots on either side using the Horizontal Slot punch

5) Take a 10 inch long piece of Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and wrap around the patterned paper and through the slots. Tie to the side.

6) Adhere the patterned paper to the front of the card

7) Add a little flower from the Flower Fusion II set with a gold brad in the center

I'm off to get ready for work! Tonight I have a much needed hair appointment. I'm ready for something new, but my husband is not. :)

Have a wonderful day!
