Another Very Vintage & Enjoy Life Thank You Card

Yesterday I shared a sweet thank you card I made using the Very Vintage host stamp set and the Enjoy Life stamp set. You can see it here.  Today’s card is the one I was making when I made the mistake that led to yesterday’s card. I had stamped the floral image from the Very Vintage stamp set once, and put another piece of card stock in the Stamparatus to stamp a second one. I forgot to re-ink the stamp so I got the lovely stamped off image on yesterday’s card. Today’s card has the full strength inked image, so the card base is Blueberry Bushel, instead of the soft Petal Pink I felt the stamped off version warranted.

 

Here’s what I made:

Love What You Do Friend Card

The Share What You Love suite was available to order before the new annual catalog went live, so I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of it recently. Are you tired of it yet? Me neither. So today I’m sharing another card made with these amazing products, including the Love What You Do stamp set and the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

I owe a huge apology to my friend and fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Debbie Mason. She and I did a card swap, and this was one of the cards she sent me. I did make one very, very similar to this, and I got the pictures mixed up. I didn’t remember embossing the cardstock strip across the middle, but my memory isn’t what it used to be, so I just assumed I forgot being so clever. Senility sucks!  🙂

Here’s what I made:

This Impossible Card is Rooted in Nature’s Poem

Today’s card in impossible! Well, it’s called an impossible card. But it’s really incredibly easy. For this one I used the new Rooted in Nature stamp set and the coordinating Natures Poem Designer Series Paper. The card base is one piece of 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card stock, so it fits into a standard A2 (medium) envelope. You can write a note on the back/bottom of the card base.

Hi, there! Today’s project is something I made when I was first playing with the new Lined Alphabet bundle (Lined Alphabet stamp set & Layering Alphabet Edgelits Dies.) First I decided to spell out Candy Hearts in the new In Colors. Then I decided to put them all together into a long booklet. Be sure to watch this video that Stampin’ Up! made all about this bundle.
