The Love of Stamping!

Recipe Something Challenge - Thinking of You card

A new challenge, Recipe Somethings Challenge, this week the challenge was a recipe of the following, Designer Paper, Buttons, and Ribbon.  I did not have any buttons so I made my own buttons using the scallop punch and the 1 inch circle punch.  The Designer paper is Cottage Wall.  Works well with cardstock Rich Razzleberry and Orchid Opulence.  Stamp set is Kind and Caring Thoughts stamped with Very Vanilla stamp pad.  Ribbon is also Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon.  All supplies are Stampin Up.

My first card designed in My Digital Studio

Here is my first card designed in My Digital Studio program from Stampin Up....and I must say it was not hard to do for my first project.  The key is just to get in to it and play.  I wanted to do the PPA31 An Inspiration Challenge from Pals Paper Arts.  I have not been posting for a while as we had a family issue going on for a bit after I got back in town this month but now I am ready to get back into it all.  The Inspiration challenge was all about birds...I don't have too many bird stamps so I decided to give the My Digital Studio program a try. 

The inspiration for today's challenge is:

Not stamping but a three day painting class....

Many people has asked to see my oil paintings that I did this past week in Vancouver WA.  I was painting with Buck Paulson at Bev's Arts Desire Shop.  To see more of Bucks paintings, look for his tv shows on PBS.  Just got home today, tomorrow back to stamping....  To see more of my paintings, my other website is www.paintwithbarb.com  I had hoped to post more cards from Portland but was just too tired each day after 8 hours of painting, plus driving back to Portland each day....but my friend, Barbara had a great time with the Big Shot and all the dies, textures and embossits that I took with me.

Three Little Words...thinking of you card

I used the Color Coach on getting the just right colors for this card that is using a Sale-a-bration stamp again.  My colors for this one was Taken with Teal, Temping Turgouise, Certainly Celery, and Apricot Appeal.  I used the new punch Scallap Trim Border and the Big Shot with the Embosslits Beautiful Wings...one tip on using this embosslit is to cut more than one color out at a time and place in a bag and then just pull out what you need...it cuts more than just one butterfly and that way you can save the extras for a different project or when you need just a bit of something. And by the way the punch is a sale-a-bration item too.  To get this punch free all you have to do is place a $50 order with me or your own demoonstrator.   There is three easy ways to earn free products, Spend, Host, Join.  Spend $50 and earn one free Sale-a-bration product of your choice.  OR/AND Host a workshop of at least $300, and earn one free Sale-a-bration product in addition to the generous hostess benefits.  OR Join Stampin' Up during Sale-a-bration and choose a free stamp set from the Idea Book & Catalog (valued up to $47.95).  So it is a great time to do some stamping!
