Daisy Delight with Gingham Ribbon

I don't know what I'm more in love with the NIGHT OF NAVY 1/2" GINGHAM RIBBON or the DAISY DELIGHT PHOTOPOLYMER BUNDLE!  I used the daisy to make my own background paper in Night of Navy.  To create the daisy i stamped tone on tone with Night of Navy paper and ink.  To finish this card I used the CLEAR FACETED GEMS.  I choose to leave off a sentiment so I could use the card for any one or any occasion.  This set is full of possibilities!  Get your bundle today!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Hogs & Kisses Treat Bag

I had a play date set up with my friend's daughter and wanted to bring her a little something.  The MINI TREAT BAG THINLITS DIES with a circle STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS DIES as a window, covered in kisses and hearts is a perfect bag to hold some "Hogs (Hugs) & Kisses".  So you see the hearts along the bottom? They are included in the Mini Treat Bag dies.  I added some BASICS PACK 1 WASHI TAPE because they are the prefect pink to match the Powder Pink paper and the piggy. THIS LITTLE PIGGY CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET has the sweet little piggy to complete this treat.  I filled the bag to the brim with Hersey Hugs & Kisses chocolate and I was ready to go.  You can make this project too by going to www.kris.stampinup.net

Pretty Kitty Stamp Set

This card was inspired by my own Kitties, Thompson, Max ,and Elvira   Aren't they cute?  I love that there are so many color choices in the NEUTRALS STAMPIN' WRITE MARKERS to use on the PRETTY KITTY CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET.  Be sure that your kittens stay in the WOOD CRATE FRAMELITS DIES.  I set the scene outside by using the PATTERN PARTY DECORATIVE MASKS bricks and the EMBOSSING PASTE.  I mixed a drop of SOFT SUEDE CLASSIC STAMPIN' INK REFILL on the SILICONE CRAFT SHEET with the PALETTE KNIVES make it so easy to move the embossing paste around.  Adopt your items for your craft room today!  Go to www.kris.stampinup.net

Happiest of Days

HAPPIEST OF DAYS CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET has the sweetest set of presents.  I stamped them across a 2 1/2"x 51/4" piece is white card stock 3 times and then colored them in Soft Sky and Smoky Slate makers.  I think it matched the BUNDLE OF LOVE SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER perfectly.  To add some shimmer and shine I heat embossed the leaves from the Happiest of Days set in silver and added a 1/4" of silver pair on the top and the bottom.  Think of how many color combination you could make with is template!  Happy stamping!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Crafting Forever Stampin' Up!

Put on your happy face!  The set CRAFTING FOREVER  puts a smile on my face.  These are tools I use everyday when I am in my craft room, so it is a prefect set to create cards for friends and family.  Have you tried the Stampin' Up! WATERCOLOR PAPER and AQUA PAINTERS?  My tip and trick is to mist the watercolor paper with a STAMPIN' SPRITZER and then pick up some ink with the aqua painter on the inside lid of your favorite ink and brush it over the paper.  If you want the colors to run into each other a little bit more you can give it another spritz.  Get these tools to create with at www.kris.stampinup.net

Happiest of Days

Oh what a happy day making this card!  I stamped the background on PEEKABOO PEACH with ISLAND INDIGO CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD.  The ovals come from the STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS DIES to give the card a little height and dimension.  I have not used these two colors before but I love them because it creates a general neutral card.  www.kris.stampinup.net

Happiest of Days/Ruffle

What kind of texture do you like to put on your paper? I love using embossing folders.  Have you used the RUFFLED DYNAMIC TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDER?  It reminds me of frosting on a well decorated cake.  I instantly reached for POWDER PINK card stock for the top layer of this card.  The HAPPIEST OF DAYS CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET did the rest of the work for this card.  The font of this set gives you the sense that someone has hand written you a note.  Get your products today at www.kris.stampinup.net

Sharing Sweet Thoughts

In the 2016-17 Annual Catalog  one of my favorite Stamping' Up! stamp sets was the JAR OF LOVE.    This year they added to my joy two ways.  First, Stampin' Up! will donate a portion of the proceeds from SHARING SWEET THOUGHTS CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET to the Ronald McDonald house Charities and second there are more sweet things to fill up the jars with!  I chose the strawberries in the jar with the sweet little lady bugs surrounding the jar.  You might want to catch some hearts or butterflies to add to this jar, luckily they are included!  To add to this outside picnic I added some clouds from the set SPRINKLES OF LIFE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET.  Get ready to help RMHC by stopping by my store www.kris.stampinup.net

Bike Ride

Have you ridden a bike before?  Well, either way this one is sure to bring you joy.  Here are some tips and tricks when stamping with BIKE RIDE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET.  There are many parts of the bike. For this card I started with the wheel and spokes and stamped the rear tire in SMOKY SLATE CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD.  Then I took the bike frame and lined up the back bracket with the wheel and spokes.  i stamped this in LEMON LIME TWIST CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD.  Then I went back to the Smoky slate to add the from t wheel and spokes.  The back bracket to hold the basket was next.  And there you have it a bike built for You!  I have enjoyed this set and love the BUILD A BIKE FRAMELITS DIES that add detail and dimension to my projects.  Be sure to check out my up coming classes when you are on my site!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Thoughts & Prayers

I needed a soft and subtle  card to send to a dear friend.  When I saw the new In Color (In colors are speciality colors that Stampin' Up! carries for two years), FRESH FIG CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD I knew I had to pair it with BASIC GRAY ARCHIVAL STAMPIN’ PAD, the Fresh Fig FRESH FLORALS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER STACK, and the stamp set THOUGHTS & PRAYERS CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET.  I tied it altogether with FRESH FIG 1/2" FINELY WOVEN RIBBON.  This simple but elegant layout can be used for many cards with any sentiment.  Log on to www.kris.stampinup.net to get these products in your hands.
