Stepped Up Orange Translucent Florals

 

I like the card I shared yesterday.  It fit the guidelines for the Less is More challenge I was making it for.  But to be honest.  It wasn't me.  Sometimes you just need to keep working on a card until to you get it right!

Just like yesterday, I paired Pumpkin Pie with Pebbled Path and used the Translucent Florals bundle.  For the new card I added the Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for the sentiment.  I stamped and die cut a bunch of images and then played around, arranging them in different ways until I was pleased with the look.

Of course I also added some rhinestones too for a little bling!

Which card styles do you like best?  Is less is more?  Or is more more?

Happy Stampin'!

Orange Translucent Florals

 

I have a card to share today that I made for the Less is More challenge.  This one was hard!  I love all layers, textures, colors, and prints.  So keeping it clean and simple was a challenge.  But also, I had to use orange!  If it's not a pumpkin or an autumn leaf, I rarely use orange.

For this card I paired Pumpkin Pie with Pebbled Path (my new favorite neutral) and create flowers with the Translucent Florals bundle.  I achieved the two shades of orange by "stamping off" onto scrap paper first for the smaller flower. 

Although the challenge stipulates minimal or no embellishments, I couldn't resist added a few rhinestones.  'Cause really, what is crafting without a little bling?

Thanks for checking out my card!  I hope you'll follow me for more.

Happy Stampin'!

Let's Go Shopping

Ahhh! It feels so good to be back stamping again.  I have made a few cards over the last few years, but I have missed doing it on an almost daily basis.  (And I really miss Janet, my partner in crime!)

What made me get back into stamping?  I have been doing a bible study recently that uses a journal scripture mapping journal.  The designer of the journal also designed some coordinating stamps.  I, of course, purchased those too.  And then second I held one of those stamps in my hand, I felt homesick for my beloved Stampin' Up! stash!

When going through the current catalog, The Les Shoppes Suite really stood out to me for several reasons: (1) it's unique!, (2) it's line art and I still have good collection of Stampin' Blends to color with, and (3) there is a coordinating set in the upcoming Mini Catalog that coordinates with the dies!  (If you know me at all, you know that I love my coordinating products!!!)

So, here I am starting over again....literally.  I have very few supplies, and need to rebuild my ink and cardstock collection.  So, posts may be slow and far between at first, but please follow along as I love to share what I have made!  And if you leave me a comment I'll be sure to visit you too!

Happy Stampin'!

Hello! My name is Lisa and I'm addicted to Stampin' Up!

Yay!  I'm back!  I'm a demo again!

I deleted my old blog when I resigned from Stampin' Up! a few years ago, so I'm starting with a clean slate.  So, where have I been?  Well, the last few years have been a journey.  In September of 2020 I opened an online needlework shop because I was spending so much time with one of my other favorite hobbies: cross stitch.  It has been a fun, exciting, and sometimes exhausting, learning experience.  

You can check it out here:

And while I am thoroughly enjoying this endeavor, I still miss my stampin' time.  I decided to make Christmas cards this year and then one thing led to to another.  So, we'll have to see where this adventure takes me.  I hope you'll follow along!
