Stampin Up Madison Avenue Sale-a-bration Stamp Set

Stampin Up Madison Avenue

Simple isn’t easy for me; however, today I have a VERY simple card for you that features one of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets – the Stampin Up Madison Avenue, which is free when you purchase $50 of Stampin’ Up! products.Stampin Up Madison Avenue

This is such an easy card to make and is perfect if you need to a quick card.  In case you haven’t noticed, I slightly tilted the stem and leaves of the flowers, and that was on purpose.   No instructions on how to make this card is necessary; wouldn’t you agree?  It is the “simple” of simple!

More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper

I am in LOVE — with the Stampin Up More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper — that is!  On my Valentine Card today, I used a diamond strip template to create the left side of the card.  This strip shows both sides of the design that I used from the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This card also features a valentine stamp set that is not current but still available on Stampin’ Up!’s Clearance Rack.

More Amore DSPIsn’t the ribbon on the card beautiful?  It is an upcoming Pool Party ribbon that is wonderful to work with.  Also, the Pool Party button will debut on January 21, at Sale-a-bration.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’re all thinking about making beautiful  Stampin Up Valentine Cards, such as my card share for today.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

Do you have retired Stampin Up products that you find yourself still using?  Aren’t there some items you just cannot give up?  Well, I experience this from time to time, as I did when making this Stampin Up Valentine Card.

This valentine card is simple to make but can take a little time because I used a lot of the retired Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (don’t know why the item was retired!), which takes some time.  You can see better in the below picture all the elements on which I used the embossing powder.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

The embossing powder was used on the Whisper White Card Stock piece to the left on which I used the Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595).  It was also used on the blending ink art piece (click HERE for instructions on the technique), the laser-cut heart on the bottom of the multiple layers of hearts, and the second heart from the top.  The laser-cut heart, which is Primrose Petals in color, is in the new Stampin Up More Amore Specialty DSP (129309).

Be of Good Cheer DSP – Christmas Card

There are so many cute designs within the Stampin’ Up! Be of Good Cheer DSP, and I’ve used four of the designs to create this Christmas card that I am sharing today.

(Can you see the sparkle of glitter at the bottom left of the scallop?  I love how that caught the light.)

Here are additional pictures of the card.  The following one is a side view that also shows the card’s inside.

This picture is a closeup of the center piece of the card.

This picture provides a better view of the DSP that is rolled up in the center of the card.

This card seems to me to not need a tutorial as it is obvious how to create it.  Do you disagree?  If so, let me know!

Stampin’ Up! supplies used to create this card featuring the Be of Good Cheer DSP:

Stamp Set:  Christmas Blessings (123809)

Paper:  Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper (126896) and Cherry Cobbler Card Stock (119685)

Ink:  VersaMark Ink

Accessories: 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (119854), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Gold Glitter, White Embossing Powder (109132), Heat Gun, Large Basic Pearls (119247) and Holiday Ornaments Framelits (127816 – for the tree on the card’s inside)
