Trendy Trees

The card for today was made using the new Stampin' Up set Trendy Trees, my SU order was delivered this last Monday and I've been dying to play with all the fun new product. I waited to place my order for the new catalog until after the first of February because that's when Sale-A-bration started. For those of you who don't know what Sale-A-bration is, its a once a year sale that Stampin' Up has which offers a free Sale-A-bration stamp set/product for every $50.00 (before shipping & tax) you spend. For more information please click on the Sale-A-bration brochure in my side bar.

Supplies: Trendy Trees, Sanded BG, Ribbon, Brads, Piercer w/mat, Square punches. Colors: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Kraft and Whisper White.

For a great tutorial on how to create decorative corners pop on over to the Follow Your Heart blog, Suzanne our team leader for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design will show you how fun and easy it is to create and use decorative corners on a card or project!

SC215 - Chelly with Lucky Clover

About a month ago my blogging friend Katie Cotton announced the news that she was going to be following a dream of hers and starting her own line of stamps and asked if I would create a few cards using one of her new stamps. So today I'm honored to show off one of Katie's sweet new stamps Chelly with Lucky Clover that she sells on her Paper Makeup Stamps site. Katie is a talented stamper and blogger and I wish her all the best in her new adventure!

For my card today I used the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge #215.

Supplies: Chelly with Lucky Clover - Paper Makeup Stamps, Sincere Salutations - SU, Copics, Nesties, Ribbon, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Flowers, Buttons, Gems, Dazzling Diamonds, Pop dots. Colors: Garden Green, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Orange card stock.

Try It Out Tuesday Challenge - Heart Wreath

Today is Tuesday which means its time for another fun Try It Out Tuesday Challenge over at the Follow Your Heart blog for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design! For today's challenge all of the design team members were asked to create a card using a sketch that our design team leader Suzanne had created. Suzanne's sketch is wonderful, I used my Karen Lockhart Heart Wreath to create a Valentine, the roses on the wreath were colored with Copic markers and then I added Spica Glitter pen to each of them to make the wreath sparkle.

Supplies: Heart Wreath - Karen Lockhart, Me & My Big Ideas designer paper, Ribbon, Copics, Nesties, Spica Glitter pen, Scallop edge punch - SU, Pearls, Pop dots.

Be sure to stop by Susana's store so you can see all of the fun new products she just got in, everything from Spellbinders Nestabilities, Bella Baubles, New Rhinestones, Adorable Eat Cake Graphics stamps and the Sassy new line of SMIRKS stamps!

Be on the look out for the New illustrator that Susana will be introducing this Friday and come on over to the Paper Craft Planet (Susana's Custom Art & Card Design group) site and play along all this week as we have fun guessing what one of the new stamps from the new line will be.

Have a great day!
