Relax with Stampin Up Trendy Trees

Let’s take a break and dream about retirement for a moment. What do you envision? I see myself retiring at the youngest age possible, a little travel here and there, and much more time to stamp and scrapbook! I have a long way to go but we can dream about it, right?

While I dream about retirement, others are getting ready to live it! Why not send them well wishes with a handmade “Happy Retirement” card? Any excuse to make a card, right? Stampin Up Trendy Trees is such a serene stamp set to me. I think just about all my regular customers have purchased this set. It’s been poplar. I thought it was a perfect match for a retirement card.

The background paper is from the Stampin’ Up! Patterns Designer Series Paper. Check out the selection on page 161 of the current catalog. You get 12 sheets of paper in the color of your choice with 12 different designs all in one package! With one package, you get an amazing selection of designs to mix & match that all coordinate. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Try out a package. You won’t be disappointed!

Just a reminder, if you are a new online customer of Tiffany’s Cardtique, you are entitled to 20% off your first Stampin Up order! Just drop me an e-mail with your order. I’d love to have you as a customer and I will take great care of you!

Pretty in Pink Returns

I haven't posted a card with pink in awhile and we all know my love for pink! I realized when I uploaded this card that it matches my blog! Bonus! Have you ever seen the movie Pretty in Pink? It's a classic 80's movie! I love it!!!!

This is a simple little card with lots of layers! The card size is 3 x 5.25 and tucks right into Stampin Up Small Open-End Envelopes.

The first layer is Pretty in Pink embossed with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Die. This die is a new one from the current catalog and oh so pretty!

The next layer is a Pretty in Pink 5-Petal Flower with a Whisper White Boho Blossom, Pretty in Pink button (from the Sherbert button collection), and a little pearl from the Pretties Kit in the center of the button.

Lastly, I took a 2.5 x 2.75 square piece of Close to Cocoa cardstock and punched out a 5-Petal Flower to make a window. I attached it with Stampin Dimensionals directly over my Pretty in Pink flower piece.

Now that all the layers are complete, finish it off with a little sentiment at the bottom. I used the "thanks so much" from the Trendy Trees stamp set.

Pink and brown are one of my favorite color combinations. What is your favorite? Leave me a comment and you may see your favorite in an upcoming post.

Have a great day and go rent Pretty in Pink for the weekend! Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Stampin Up Vintage Style

Stampin' Up! has some really neat new Bigz Dies in the current catalog. Did you catch Lattice? I sure did and I created this little vintage style card with it.

I ran the Lattice Bigz Die through my Stampin Up Big Shot using Old Olive card stock. Once cut, I turned the image to a triangular shape (normally square) and created the card from there. The die cut Lattice looked antique to me, so I inked the edges of the card and sponged the Lattice to make it all looked aged.


The stamped image behind the Lattice is from the new Stampin Up set Pendant Park. This set has been a hot seller! I stamped the "HELLO" from this set onto Very Vanilla card stock and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch. I also inked the edges on this piece and attached it to the card using Vintage Brads.

It's different! Let me know what you think? It's not my typical style, but it's always good to try something different. Right???

I'm almost ready to release my Facebook page to you! Stay tuned and have a great day!

Need A Little Stampin Up Pickup?

Then the Loads of Love & Loads of Love Accessories stamp sets from Stampin' Up! is just what you need!

I have a friend who recently moved and as we all know, moving is stressful and tiring! I thought I would send her this card to "pickup" her day.

The pickup was colored in using Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens. I was looking for a soft look since its recipient is a female. All I did was pencil in a little color with the Watercolor Pencils, and blended/softened the hue with the Blender Pens. They are very easy to work with. If you add too much color, brush your Blender Pen over it to catch some of the color and rub it off on scrap paper. Need more color? Add more with your Watercolor Pencil and blend again until you have the desired shade.

For more uses and tips on Blender Pens click HERE.

Summer is going by fast! Last night my husband & I went to see an Abba tribute band. What a blast! They looked, dressed, and sang just like Abba. It was awesome! Everyone was dancing and singing along. Too fun!

Take care and drop me a comment letting me know what kind of fun you are having this summer?

Thanks for visiting!

Delicious Stampin' Up! Recipe - Razzleberry Lemonade with Square Ice!

I was having a creative block this week so I just pulled out my new pack of Stampin' Up! Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper and the juices started flowing! This paper is gorgeous. Does it look a little aged and distressed? I didn't do that . . . it comes that way! Bonus!!! It's so much prettier in person.

Since the Square Fire Rhinestone Brads are on sale this week, I had to show you a use for them! I used a Lilac one from the Ice Square collection for my flower center. A little bling can be the perfect finishing touch to any creation without overdoing it.

I have several things in the works right now, so forgive me for the breaks in between posts. In case you're wondering what I'm working on, my wonderful husband bought me a laptop for my business last month. Now I can use it whenever and wherever I want. It's so nice!

In addition to getting that up & running, I am getting ready to offer a Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Share and Ribbon Share. I've had a few requests for this since the new paper & ribbons are so gorgeous. Let's face it, we want it all! We can have it all by participating in the share and at a fraction of the cost compared to buying it all individually. Stay tuned for details.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting my blog! Be sure to follow me on Twitter too. Tweet, tweet.
