Cupcakes and Carousels and All Things Thanks

Happy Tuesday my friends. We are in the midst of a string of sunny days and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to finally see the sun! They are also calling for near 50૦F Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is going to feel like a heat wave compared to what we have had, so I'm looking forward to that. In the meantime, I did get some time in the craft room this week and played around with some fun new product.
I am totally in love with this new Cupcakes and Carousels DSP pack. It's 6" x 6" paper and the colors are just gorgeous.The paper has a vintage feel to them while being fun at the same time.
The card base is Early Espresso cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the DSP is 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". I cut the Early Espresso strip 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" and the Calypso Coral Strip is 1 1/2" x 3". I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out with a Stitched Shapes circle framelit and layered it onto a piece of Early Espresso cut with a scalloped circle from the Layered Circles framelits collection. I layered that onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock cut 2 1/2" x 3 1/4". I wrapped a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Bakers Twine and tied it into a bow and adhered it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The candy dots added to the bottom of the Bermuda Bay are retired candy dots I had in my stash that I pulled out.
I hope you enjoyed today's card. Please leave me a message and let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look around. I wish you all a wonderful day and happy stamping!

All Things Thanks for Sale-a-Bration

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I got the opportunity to play around in my craft room over the weekend and I pulled out some of my new Sale-a-Bration stamp sets along with the new All Things Thanks from the Occasions catalog. I just love how this card came out and I hope you do too! I usually try to keep it to one and no more than 2 stamp sets, but I pushed it to 3 on this card and it just worked. So, here it is:
Supplies:
Stamps Sets: All Things Thanks; Avant Garden; Delicate Details
Paper: Watermelon Wonder 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" and 2 1/4" x 5"; Crumb Cake 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"
Ink: Crumb Cake; Watermelon Wonder; Cucumber Crush
Misc: 5/8" Burlap Ribbon; Fast Fuse; Stampin' Dimensionals; Mini Glue Dots

Directions:
Begin by stamping the delicate lace image in Crumb Cake ink onto the lower portion of the larger Whisper White piece. (I placed my cut piece of Crumb Cake down and used a pencil to lightly mark where I wanted the top of the lace to fall) Then, I stamped the sentiment from the All Things Thanks in Crumb Cake onto the right side of the smaller Whisper White piece. Then, stamp the solid flower from Avant Garden in Watermelon ink followed by the stem using the Cucumber Crush. Layer this onto the Crumb Cake cardstock piece with Fast Fuse and adhere to the larger Whisper White piece lining it up just above the lace image. Adhere the entire panel to the card base using Dimensionals. Pull a couple of fibers from the Burlap Ribbon and tie a bow and adhere with a glue dot.
I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it. I so love the quality of Stampin' Up! and I love how you can coordinate so many different sets to come up with a great card. And, just as a side note, if you LOVE the Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush as much as I do, grab them now before they are officially announced as retiring around mid-April. Once that happens, they will fly out the door and once they're gone, they're gone and trust me, In-Colors don't last long once the retirement gets announced. Trust me!
Well, thanks so much for stopping by. Please leave me a comment below and let me know your thoughts on this one. Again, I really look forward to hearing your thoughts. Have a great day and Happy Stamping,
Katrina
