They are very similar. I added real red cardstock and some silver washi tape. On the one on the left, I stamped the lips and wording in real red and staz-on white ink. The stamps come from the new set Sealed With Love from the Occasions catalog just released. The one on the right I also added the real red paper, washi tape and only the small wording, but I also shaded the white heart and lines around with some Craft real red ink and then wiped some off.


For a limited time only, Stampin Up is offering this new bundle (bundle includes stamps and thinlit dies). It will be available from August 2 thought August 31 2016 (ends at 6:50p.m. on that day). This is also the time you can spend your Bonus Dollars earned during July 7-31 2016 (see previous post for details). Just wanted to give you a heads up. The cost of the bundle will be $52.00. You can also buy just the stamps or the thinlets separately but you save 10% by ordering the bundle.
Hi everyone! Today I’m featuring a card I made with the July paper pumpkin kit. The stamps are cute and feature a “sparkle theme”. The bottom of the card was material from the kit and I used some shinney copper paper I had. I also used the shinney copper paper and used the swirly bird thinlet for a backround to the greeting paper. I used some copper tinsel type material to divide the two papers and used the diamond stamp on the shinney copper stamped in an old color, dusty durango. I embossed the “brilliant” word in copper which is available in this years catalog. Stampin Up also offers copper thread this year which would also look nice with this card. The greeting and the bling on the tag are both stamps in the set included in this months kit. As a final touch, I took a pearl and colored it with a copper sharpie. This was a fun card to make and I love the copper. Besides the intended projects, it is so fun to think of alternative ideas each month that can be made from the kits.
Hope you all had a great weekend and a creative one too. Touches of Texture is a new stamp set this year. It has various backround stamps, insects and flowers as well. There are 15 stamps in this set. Here I used 8 of the stamps. Stamped in Sahara Sand on to vanilla card stock with crumb cake mat and soft suede card base. I used baker’s twine and a corner punch. The greeting is from the set Flourishing Phrases which is also new this year. To order, see my 24/7 store at
The Swirly Bird stamp set is so versatile! Here are some kites made using the set. Two of the new in-colors were used here. Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim. The new in-colors are really great this year. I have made so many cards already from this one stamp set. There are 24 stamps in the set and you can make swirls, kites, flowers, birds in a nest, sailboats on a sea and many more interesting cards with this set. There are also matching thinlet dies that can be purchased with the stamp set. In fact, you can buy both in a bundle and save 10%. The bundle includes both the stamp set and the thinlets and the catalog number for the bundle is 142353. The stamp set catalog number is 141749 and the thinlet catalog number is 141497 (9 dies) if you wish to purchase separately. To purchase go to my 24/7 online store at
