Trip to the Ice Cream Parlor

inspired by the lovely Mary Fish
I am really diggin' this New Ice Cream Parlor FREE DSP from the Sale-a-bration
catalog and the buttons and ribbon pack top it off nicely.
At first I wasn't to interested, but you know I love the Simply Scrappin Kits to make my scrap tins and mini scrap albums so this is right up my alley.Now I can't get enough of them.
This card uses the FUN FLOWERS DIE as the focal point
and the Afterthoughts Level One Hostess stamp set as the focal point.
The little yellow things in the flower I found in the cake section at a big box store and I have no idea what they are used for in baking but I saw flower buds for my card!
The button in the middle is from the SEW SUITE series the epoxy buttons.
I also used the tastefully trim die cut too.
These projects be in upcoming classes for Spring.

Using the Build a Blossom stamp set and the FANCY FAVOR BOX DIE along with the ice Cream parlor DSP with Pacific Point,Melon Mambo stamped the flower in Daffodil Delight ink.

MHIYS (MUST HAVE IN YOUR STASH)

A new twist on the handle
CHALLENGE: Can you figure out what die cut I used to make the handle?

Love this card using the baskets and blooms die and the eggs are made out of the ovals die in the ice Cream Parlor Series of DSP.

Emboss & Resist Bliss

Put a little BLISS in your day! I love this stamp set! It is a limited edition Sale-a-bration set so it will be gone forever and ever after March 31st! BUT< you can receive it for FREE right NOW with any $50.00 purchase.

This card was inspired from a card I saw on Stampin Connection a stamping community designed for Stampin' UP demonstrators only, By Frenchie! Man she is one talented lady!
I love this technique- resist embossing! There are a few different twists you can put with this technique but if you want to try it you will definably need
the following supplies:

• Versmark pad
  
• GLOSSY PAPER
  
• white embossing powder
  
• heat tool.

On this card I used Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, White glossy CS with the tulip frame embossing folder. Inks are blushing bride, regal rose, rose red and cherry cobbler applied with sponge daubers. Topped it off with Espresso 1 1/2 inch striped ribbon with a bit of 1/8 inch taffeta in pink. Oh the little tabs on the sides are the modern label punch and of course had to add the BLING!!

After I made the pink one I had to see what it would look like with my new colors of the week Baha and Marina mist. So here we go-the colors are as follows in order from left to right:
Baha Breeze, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy, Midnight Navy
Marina striped 1- 1/2 grosgrain and midnight navy 1/4 grosgrain ribbon on the top of the card.

I hope you enjoy these they are super fun to make and let me know which one you like best the pink or blue?

Serenity Stamper Sandra Heck

Guest Designer Sandra

At our last Serenity Stamper Inspiration meeting I went over individual goal sheets with each of my team. I challenged each one of them to have their goals sheets back to me with a beautiful handmade Stampin' Up! card. This one featuring the NEW Build -a-Blossom stamp set and so many techniques and die cuts incorporated into the card just took my breath away!
Sandra Heck is a very talented crafter and joined my Serenity Stamper team in November.
She is right on target with her goals and thanks for the AWESOME card.

This card is very intricate and very time consuming I love the little threads in the middle of the blossoms. They are resting in little pockets of the blossoms.

Love, Love, Love the spritzing and sponging. "Guess those classes paid off Ma"
Sandra has very unique and original designs.
Thanks Sandra for such a gorgus card!
What do you think of Sandra's card?? Give her a shout out!
