Notes From Patience

Loving this Tahitian Tide color and these little guys just popping out to see what is going on! Don't they just look like they are ready to get into trouble?? FUN Card for me. Love Love Love. I started out with 2 new embossing folders from our on-line exclusives that are simply called Basics 3D Embossing folders. I took 2 separate pieces of Tahitian Tide card stock cut at 4" x 5-1/4" and ran them through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. Each with a different embossing folder. Then I cut each piece into 4 pieces of 1-1/4" each. Alternating each pattern and popping up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I so love it. This is just an extra card I made this week as my focus is on the Little Monkey Class TO GO. You can get your Little Monkey Class TO GO for FREE when you place a $35+ order in my online store!

At first glance you may skip right over this stamp set when looking through the catalog. I jumped at the chance to order as soon as I could.  My father was the mailman as long as I can remember.  He knew everyone's address and all the zip codes to everywhere.  He was the smartest man I ever knew!  I loved the fact that he was the mail man so when I saw this stamp set, it reminded me of him!    I made this card using colors that I associate with the post office. Reds and Blues.  I thought it came together very quickly even with a little fussy cutting.   You may notice that this stamp set has copyright stamps in it, this is because it is an Angel Policy stamp set.  Stampin' Up! has an Angel Policy which means that they may not be copied without permission.  I have included the Angel Policy in full at the bottom of this post for your information. Start with a Poppy Parade card base that measures 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4". Cut a piece of Basic White card s

In my last in person class, we made this cute shaker card.  We used the Bottled Happiness stamp set and Vintage Bottle punch.  The punch made it easy to place the shaker domes in the exact correct spot.  At first class attendees were intimidated but with Stampin' Up! products, it was so easy! What do you think?  Love the colors. I used Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper in the background and it also served as my inspiration for color. The card base is Bubble Bath and the ink choices are Lost Lagoon with Bubble Bath.  I also used Pretty Peacock and Fresh Freesia as highlight colors on the bottles beside my shaker bottle. The card above is one that I made when I was practicing making the shaker card.  I found that it was easier to make the 3 bottle card for the class.  I do like the look of the 5 bottle card and the many different colors. I also used the Masterfully Made DSP for this card. The card above is one that I made using the Earthen Elegance DSP and the Petal Park stamp s
