Stampin' Up! Over the Moon

I participated in a swap on our recent cruise to Greece (thank you Stampin' Up!).  I will share some of my favorites over the next few weeks.  This card was created by Robyn Scherzer.  She lives in Wisconsin,  How appropriate for her to feature a cow on her card!

  I love how she created cow spots on the card base.  And I also like the pop of Real Red on the card.  Absolutely adorable!

Stampin' Up! Come to Gather

I know I haven't posted much from our cruise to Greece.  We had a wonderful time!  Stampin' Up!  spoils the heck out of us!  Pillow gifts every night, door prizes, new product from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  

This card features the Come to Gather designer series paper.  I don't have the coordinating stamp set (yet!) so I pulled some things from the Annual Catalog that works really well with it, don't you think? I didn't want the greeting base to be all white, but I didn't like the greeting stamped on Sahara Sand.  I did a wash of Sahara Sand on Whisper White and let it dry before stamping the greeting in Pretty Peacock,  I like the softness of it.  And it adds a bit of texture to it.

Stampin' Up! Pressed Petals

The Pressed Petals Suite took me back in time.  My mother is an artist.  Our home is filled with her paintings and other artwork.  One of the things she loved to do is press flowers and make brooches and small framed pieces.

The thing I love most about this suite is the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It fits right in with my love of Vintage.  The Pressed Petals Specialty Washi tape is so fun!  One roll is petals!  Individual petals that you peel off and form flowers!  I punched a small circle (3/4") and pressed the petals on the circle.  It makes it easy to adhere them to your project.

Stampin' Up! Come Sail Away True North

It's hard to tell on this card but the designer series paper, Come Sail Away is actually newspaper print.  With the newsprint are photographic images of sailboats, charts, etc.  The little knot in the lower right is from the coordinating dies.  I love the sepia look to the paper.  It works well to create this stacked collage look.
