Making room for new!

Wow! It isn't very often I get to spend most of a Saturday stamping! Today was super quiet because my little ones were outside playing with the neighbors...all day! I took advantage of this unusual quiet time and decided to use some products that have been sitting...retired or about to retire.

I haven't had a lot of time lately and now that the new catalog is out...I need to use up the old so I can bring in the new! I actually made quite a few cards...it was so much fun!

For this card, I used the Happy Watercolor stamp set and Watercolor Wonder designer paper. These products were in the Spring catalog--sadly retired. However, you can still get the digital download! I think I even used Gumball Green cardstock for this card-and it is also retired. Garden Green is very similar though.

This card can easily be done using other products, as the layout is very simple and versatile. 

I have enjoyed my stamp time today and will be sharing more cards with you! Thank you for stopping by!

Owl Pop-Up Card

Isn't this just the coolest? Doesn't look like a card, does it? 

How about now?

Yep! It folds flat and when you open it...all this cuteness pops out! Ta-Dah!! 

These pop up cards have been everywhere here lately in the stamping world. I was a little hesitant to try one but, let me tell you...it was surprisingly simple and fairly quick to make!

 I have seen lots of these but was inspired by a card created by Victoria Rogers at Blue Jelly Stampin'. I wanted my card to fit in a regular A2 size envelope, so I followed a tutorial from Stamping School-which was easy peasy! Two of these cards can be made out of one regular sheet of cardstock!

Even made a cute, matching envelope:

I lined the inside of the envelope easily with the Envelope Liner Framelits:

All the cute pop ups were created using Stampin' Up! punches...even the owls! See below for all the punches I used for this card:

Owl Builder Pumch: Item # 118074

Boho Blossoms Punch: Item # 119858

Bitty Butterfly Punch: Item # 129406

1 3/4 in. Scallop Circle Punch: Item # 119854

7/8 in. Scallop Circle Punch: Item # 129404

1 1/4 in. Circle Punch: Item # 119861

Itty Bitty Punch Pack: Item # 118309

Small Heart Punch: Item # 117193

I used the Hardwood Background stamp to decorate the square "flaps".  The larger, bottom panels were covered with designer paper-the Brights Collection! I LOVE the bright, cheerful colors! I stamped the sentiment using the "A Round Array" stamp set in Bermuda Bay.

Who wouldn't love to get a card like this? It is so stinkin, cute!!

A Card for Molly Ringwald

I know I am late with this card but here it is...the card I gave Molly Ringwald last weekend! I got to assist Molly during her CD signing after her concert! It was really neat-I've watched her movies my whole life-couldn't believe I got to stand right next to here for an hour or so.

My friend said it would be cool if we gave Molly a card and I had just CASED this card and knew this would be perfect! Thank you Sarah Sagert-I found your similar card on Pinterest and this landed in the hands of Molly Ringwald! I changed mine up a bit and added some gold sequins. (I didn't think I would like these on cards-but obviously I do!)

I used stamped this card using the Petal Parade stamp set. You can get that set FREE during Sale-A-Bration. Click here to view the brochure now!

I created a matching envelope using the super cool Envelope Liner Framelits (Item #132172)-this makes it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating sets! The paper is called Sweet Sorbet and you can also get that for FREE during Sale-A-Bration! It's beautiful paper!

Look how pretty the sparkly envelope is! It is kind of hard to see but both flowers sparkle! I stamped the images onto the envelope and added some stickles for sparkle and then added a Candy Dot-so cute!

I don't know what happened, but when ALL of the pictures on my blog were missing this morning! Talk about frustrating-I had to go into every post (thankfully this blog is new) and re-post every single picture! Has anyone ever had this happen? If it happens again-I don't know what I am going to do...any advice is greatly appreciated. Wondering if it is something I need to do with my photo albums...??

Anyways, I am hoping to get back in my stamp room today/tonight. I feel like I have been running circles again. My Hunny left for work this morning-his time home goes by way to quickly! Hoping we can be together ALL the time soon-atleast most of the time anyways.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by! Before I go-here I am with Molly! Can you tell I was excited?
