Stampin' Up! True Gentleman Meets Oh So Eclectic

Here is another card from my Oh So Eclectic Sweet Suite Class.  I always struggle with masculine cards but I am trying to include some in classes.  The True Gentleman stamp set really makes it easy!  I was hoping it would be in the new catalog but alas...it isn't.  But, it works for this card!

Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Happy Birthday!


Our youngest granddaughter just celebrated her First Holy Communion a few weeks ago.  Now she is celebrating her 8th birthday.  I made a couple of cards for her - one for my 90 year old mom to give her and one from us.  She loves purple!  Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather are two of Stampin' Up!s newest colors.  I couldn't decide which one to use so I used both!

Stampin' Up Team Swap

This month is a swap month for my team, Susan's Sparklers.  For those of you who don't know what a swap is, everyone makes x number of cards of one design and we swap with other crafters, or in this case, demonstrators.  Why do we swap if we all make cards?  I swap to get ideas from other stampers.  We all have our own style and it's nice to see what other people are working on.  We all like to learn from each other.

Stampin' Up! Oh So Eclectic Class

I held a Naturally Eclectic Sweet Suite class last week.  This was one of four cards we made.  I'm delighted that this stamp set and the coordinating framelits are carrying over.  Unfortunately the designer series paper is retiring and was still available as of yesterday (5/21).  

One of my favorite layouts for cards is using lots of layers in different sizes and shapes.   I used several colors from the designer series paper and started layering.  I love the crinkled ribbon and am sad to see it retiring.  It's easy to work with and adds great texture.  I cut some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for the center of the flower.  I know it's hard to see but again, I wanted to add another element of texture to the card.

Stampin' Up! Better Together Sympathy Card

Darn. I really don't like to have to make Sympathy cards.  

One of the woman my husband works with lost her husband a few days ago.  I had the Springtime Impressions Framelits out for another project so decided to use it to make a sympathy card for him to send her.  I wanted soft colors so used the new color Pool Party, o Saffron, and Basic Black with a touch of Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment is from Better Together.
