Card Cafe Creations-Colorful Seasons

Can you picture this card made with Berry Blast, Crushed Curry and Dapper Denim?  This design would be so simple to create in each of these colors. Why these particular colors?  They are the featured colors in the Color Theory designer paper stack.

Sign up for this card cafe if you are in the Jacksonville, Illinois area and make the card I featured yesterday free.

Tomorrow's card features the branch from this set, the flower framelits and sponging. Come back to check it out.

Card Cafe Creations

Isn't this a great WOW card.  It was designed by Sarah-Jane Kale`.

There are several great layers on this card.

1. A strip of the Color Theory designer paper.
2. Two different framelits from the bundle, the branch and the leaf.
3. Stamped images, and matching ribbon.

Together they make a great card that everyone attending the card cage can make it they RSVP by Thursday, August 31st.

Tomorrow's card would be easy to recreate in the 4 colors that are featured in the Color Theory designer paper.

  2. Cut around the outer edge of each flower to create the curvy front of the card.
  3. Place a strip of Color Theory card stock on the back flap and you now have a great looking easy to make card.

Everything New Card Buffet-Lovely Friends

   Have you ever been all set to do something and then you can not get on the Internet for some unknown reason.  Well, that happened more than once last week to me.  But glad to say the Internet is now up and running so here comes some great cards this week.
  I had an Everything New card buffet last week and have chosen 5 cards to share with you.  Most of the items are new.

1. The stamp set is great with sayings and cute 2 step flowers.  Lovely Friends is the name.

2. The Color Theory designer paper stack is the background of this card.  If you have not ordered this yet, on of the things I love about these 6 by 6 paper stacks is they are not attached with that gummy label on the bottom.  

3. The card was inspired by a posting on Pinterest by Billie Moan of Rambling Rose studio.

Tomorrow I will show off a card using the Coffee Cafe stamp and Coffee Break designer paper.

New Catalog Premier-Colorful Seasons stamp set

 

    When I was planning my New Catalog Premier I listed some new things I wanted to share with the stampers attending.

1. I wanted them to see the Color Theory designer paper stack.

2. I wanted them to look at the Colorful Seasons stamp set and matching thinlits.

3. Finally, I wanted them to be able to use the Glitter Enamel dots.

This card fulfilled my wishes.

If you live near Jacksonville, Illinois contact me and I will send you information about the Premier.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a card that stampers will make using our new embossing paste.  If you are curious about the paste, check out my postings from last week.  I featured several cards I made with the stencils that are meant to be used with the paste.

Embossing Paste-Beautiful You stamp set

  Do you feel like dancing when the sun is out and the clouds are filling the sky and the temperature is mild?  Well, I do and last weekend in Illinois was definitely dancing weather.

The cloud stencil was fun to use.  When I looked at the clouds and was trying to figure out what stamp set to use with this card stock, I knew that the girl in Beautiful You was perfect.  For her hat, dress and puddle, I used a piece of the new Color Theory designer paper.  I think you can see the variety in the items I paper pieced.  I for one was so happy that this stamp set made it into our new catalog.  How about you?

Come back tomorrow to see a card I made with the brick wall stencil after adding some re-inker to the paste.  I used part of the thinlit that goes with the Wood Words stamp set to create a crate.

Berry Burst-Colorful Seasons stamp set

  Last week instead of stamping, I was visiting with my 10 year old granddaughter Haley.  What fun I had.  When each one of my grandchildren turn 10 they come and spend a week of fun with grandma.  Now, Haley is back home in Ohio, and I am ready to share my cards for the in-color class I will be holding in July.

First in-color is Berry Blast.  This card is smaller than the normal sized card and features quite a few new items, in Berry Blast of course.

Can you imagine a similar card made with the other colors in the Color Theory designer paper stack?

Come back tomorrow to see the card I made using Powder Pink and This Little Piggy stamp set.

NEW CATALOG! Colorful Seasons card preview

   Are you excited?  Today at 1:00 central standard time we can order from the new catalog.  Have you seen one yet?  I have had mine since the beginning of April and have looked through it several times.

These 4 cards were one of our make n takes at the last Butterfly Friends meeting held in May.  Here are the new products these simple but really cute cards feature.

1. New stamp set call Colorful Seasons.  The stamps can be used for all 4 seasons.

2. New in-color called Berry Blast (the pink card)

3. New paper stack called Color Theory designer paper stack.  One of the papers looks like paint chips, the others blend the colors with an Ombre look, and the back of the papers looks like cracked paint.

4. New embellishment called Glitter Enamel Dots. These come in 4 colors, but each color has several different shades.

I'll be finalizing my list of things to order today.  Contact me if you would like to have a gathering with friends where we can make cards similar to these.

Come back tomorrow to see one of my very favorite new thinlits.
