Seeing Double?

Hello again,
Finally, my stamps are remounted and my craft supplies are..well in a different order (I wouldn't say organized exactly..lol) I have been working on a few Christmas in July projects, and I'll show them as we get a little closer to the holidays. For now I decided to make a few simple all occasion cards to restock my supplies :)

Why did I call this post Seeing Double? I made some cards below that are similar with minor changes and also two completely different cards using the same stamp.


These cards were made with Stampin' Up Card stock and stamp from the new hostess set Because I Care. DCWV pattern paper. Making memories paper flowers. White ribbon and pearl accent.

These two cards were made using the same sentiment stamp from Stampin' Up!



Supplies: Stampin' Up! Card stock and stamp from Oval All. Pattern paper from DCWV. Ribbon from Michaels.

Well, I have to run for now. Stay tuned. My schedule has cleared a bit, so I plan to be back here often :)
See you soon!

getting it together

Hello all,
I hope that everyone is having a great week! Decided to re-organize all of my paper crafting supplies and in the process started to unmount stamps and remount them on EZ Mount so that I can use them on my acrylic block. Who knew that I had so many stamps :) I have to tell you that it is saving a TON of space. I am really glad that I am doing it. Unfortunately, things are a little here and a little there right now. Hope to have it all together soon and get crafting again.

See you again soon!

Friends

Hello,
I hope that you all had a wonderful and safe 4th of July. I would like to thank you all for your very sweet comments.

I decided to take things in a different direction. I thought elegant neutrals would be a nice change of pace.





 This card is all Stampin' Up! products. The card stock is very vanilla, crumb cake, and early espresso. This was highlighted with designer series papers, stamp from the "Vintage vogue" set, organdy ribbon, filigree brads and button latte.

Looking for inspiration in my retired stamps collection...no telling what you may see over the next few days.

Have a wonderful week. See you soon!
