Fun with Peach Parfait

I wanted to share some more projects from my talented team of Creative Escape Artists.  Ami made this fantastic card and chocolate bar holder for her very first workshop.  I love how she used Peach Parfait.

What a Great Idea!

Kim, one of my team members, came up with this idea and shared it with me.  I asked if I could feature it here because it is fantastic!  Kim had her grandson paint masterpieces on paper.  When it dried she cut them into circles and used Designer Series paper and made monogram cards out of them for her daughter.  I will totally be copying this idea.  My kids are 4 and 2 and LOVE to color, paint and draw.  I can't wait to work on some of these for myself.

Go With All Your Heart

This is a card, Kristin, a member of my team came up with. She used the Asian Artistry stamp set which you can earn when you hostess a workshop. I love the peek-a-boo window and asked if I could post it. Please leave a comment to let her know what you think.

Pretty In Pink Butterflies

Here is another card done by one of my team members, Melanie. I love what she did here with only 1 color, Pretty In Pink! She CASED (Copy And Share Everything) this card that Sheryl Dreyer made. I love the Polka Dots embossing folder and the Scallop trim border punch. Melanie, you did a GREAT job and your card is just beautiful!

Simple Asian Artistry

Today I am featuring a "guest" artist. Kristin, one of my friends and team members, made this card. I had to share it because it is beautiful! This is a wonderful example of using your markers to color in your stamp! She used the Hostess stamp set, Asian Artistry and colored with our markers before she stamped and added the sentiment. In the picture it is hard to see but she added some texture with the Big Shot and some texturz plates on the Old Olive card stock. She used the plate that looks like wood and in this case, like bamboo. Thanks for sharing Kristin!

Big Shot Autumn Wreath

One of my friends and downline, Kristin, has been wanting to make this wreath that is pictured in the Stampin' Up! catalog. She finished it and just in time to hang up for fall! It turned out great! She used a wire frame and Autumn Traditions DSP. She used the Big Shot machine and cut the leaves out with the Leaves #2 Die. She attached it to the wire frame using sticky tape. I love it! Thank you for letting me share Kristin.

Happy Father's Day Early!

Well, Father's Day is officially less than a month away so I thought I would share a card that one of my customers, Kristin, came up with. She tri-folded a regular size card (5 1/2 x 4 1/4). She added Whisper White to the inside and added a tie with our Chocolate Chip 1" striped ribbon. She used the Big Shot, her new toy, and textured the Not Quite Navy on the shirt. She used the Buttons #5 die to cut the buttons on her Big Shot. Kristin folded the top corners down and sponged around the edge in Chocolate Chip to make it stand out a little bit. This is a beautiful card. Please comment so she can see that her work is appreciated! Thanks for letting me share Kristin!

Sense of Time

This is a card my upline Rene did for a swap. I love how she made the card look aged. You ball the cardstock up and make it "wrinkled". Then you take a stamping sponge and lightly go over the top of the "wrinkles" with the same or darker color. The ink highlights the "wrinkles" to age your paper. She used the Sense of Time stamp set available in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I like that the card uses neutral colors and the uniqueness of the ribbon placement.
