25th Anniversary RemARKable Blog Tour - Best of Flowers

 

Welcome to the RemARKable 25 Years with Stampin' Up! Blog Tour!  This month the RemARKables are showcasing March's theme "Best of Flowers."  You may have arrived here from Jackie Bottomley's blog.  I love how she used this set!  Here's the card I made:

This card is really clean and simple.  I fashioned it after this one.  I ran the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder through the Big Shot twice so that I had the space to stamp the sentiment.  I'm sure going to miss Regal Rose!  It's one of the colors retiring at the end of May. Let me know what you think of this card. I'd love to hear your input.

My original plan was to create at least three cards for this post.  However, over the last few weeks we've been having some issues in our family that have taken away some of my stamping time.    Prayers would be appreciated.

Next up on the RemARKable tour is Tamra Davis.  You can click the image below or go to http://thecardladies.com to see what goodies she has created for you.

RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour - Secret Garden!!!

Welcome to the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour.  This month some of our most talented RemARKable teammates are showing you many different ways to use the Secret Garden stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. 


If you haven't already heard, Stampin' Up! is going through a "Color Refresh."  Several colors are retiring:  Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Bravo Burgundy, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard and River Rock.

Colors that are being added back into the four color families are: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Wistera Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry and Island Indigo.  We'll also be seeing a new color in late April called Smoky Slate.

With the recent announcement of the Color Refresh, I thought I'd center this month's projects around "the old and the new."  Here's my first creation:

This is a very simple card using River Rock and Not Quite Navy.  I matted the smallest Labels framelit using this technique.

Here's my second creation using Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, and Pool Party.  I'm so excited that these three colors will be staying around for a while!

I stamped the flowers on Shimmery White card stock using StazOn, then I colored them with markers and cut them out with my Big Shot.  I created the background paper using the Netting background stamp.  I really love that stamp, so I hope it stays around in the next catalog.

You can see better in this close-up how I hand cut another layer of the center of the flowers.

Sale-a-Bration CASE

As a busy mom, I don't always have time to create new stamping projects from scratch.  That's where the "Copy And Share Everything" motto comes in handy.  I first saw a card similar to this one on Stampin' Connection, an online community for demonstrators, made in black and white by fellow demonstrator Pat Mayer.  Since I adore Delftware and Polish stoneware, I thought it was appropriate for me to make one in Night of Navy and Whisper White.

Sorry for the poor photo quality.

We visited Delft, Netherlands twice while we were there.  What great memories! 


Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Blessings from Heaven
Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy
Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, square punches, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!
