Stamping Expressions

Pop Up Card

 

This free standing pop up card was really easy to make and it has endless possibilities!  It folds up flat and fits in a standard A2 envelope. Wings of Friendship is a Level 2 Hostess stamp set in the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog.  These are also some of the new In Colors: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede.  The coordinating ribbons are all reversible with a solid on the other side.  And there are markers in the In Colors, too!  I've been working on some more samples, so check back soon.  Happy Stamping!

Sweet Matchboxes

 

These are so much fun to make using Stampin' Up!'s Matchbox Die and the Big Shot!!  This one is made from the retiring Designer Series Paper Sweet Slumber.  It's a heavier weight than the regular DSP and therefore this is a very sturdy little set.  And since it's double-sided, the insides are just as cute as the outside!  I attached small Baha Breeze corduroy buttons for little handles and tied up with the Baha Breeze 1" ribbon, both of which are also retiring.  I love this color and am really going to miss it.  Items on the Last Chance List are selling out, so place your order today before those items you've been looking at are gone.  Happy Stamping! 

Candy Lane Cupcake

  

I had to play with the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper, which is on the Last Chance List, and  won't be available after June 30.  The stamp set is Crazy for Cupcakes, and I'm so glad it's going to be in the new catalog.  The cardstock colors are Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette, and Riding Hood Red with a little bit of Riding Hood Red ribbon.  I got a little carried away with the cupcake, but it sure was fun!  I ran the Cocoa through the crimper, stamped the image, and cut it out.  Then I dribbled some Crystal Effects on the top and sprinkled it with Chunky Red Glitter and Pink Beads from the Pink Bead Duo.  This card may need to be hand delivered so they don't fall off!

Be sure and check out the Last Chance Lists and Happy Stamping!
