I'm Alive!

Sorry I have been absent for a while, I had 3 viruses attack my computer, one ate my Kodak software. So I had all these awesome pictures and they were trapped. Anywho, here they are. Some fun with new stamps!!

I love this set! I got it for free beacause I did well last quarter and Stampin' Up! rewards us well!!

It is called "Priceless" (it is on page 117, for $25.95) I love the swirls, and the cute fonts with the words! With this card I used:

So Saffron card stock

So Saffron Prints Designer Series paper

Mellow Moss Cardstock and Classic Ink

Always Artichoke Classic Ink

Whisper White Cardstock

Dazzling Diamonds

Slit Punch for the scalloped edge (take off the guard)

To bad this picture dosen't do this card justice!!

So on the card below I again used the "Priceless" stamp set and the coordinating Brass template (page 187 for $15.95) to use with a light box (see sample below!) for the raised swirls in the background.

Supplies for this card below are:

Sky Blue (In Color) card stock and Classic Ink

Blue Bayou (In Color) card stock

Very Vanilla card stock

Twill Tape (1 1/2")

Pop up glue dots and Mini glue dots

Half back cream pearls (from the Pretties Kit!)

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween and could not wait to use my new "Batty for You" set (page 27 $22.95) check it out in the catalog Stampin' Up!® - Online Catalog - shopmain there are really cute sayings that circle each of the images, I just used a marker to color what I wanted.

Here is the recipe for this card:

Orchid Opulence Card stock and Stampin' Write Marker

Bashful Blue Stampin' Write Marker and Brad (Soft Subtles)
