Edgelits and Framelits

At last months Big Shot Class I showed the ladies how to use the new Edgelits and Framelits from the Occasion Mini. I loved this card from Stampin' Up! so thought I would give it a whirl because it also uses the Texture Plates (Perfect Details) and the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder so it was good for the ladies to see how those were used as well. I would say the Framelits are easier to use than the Edgelits, but combined they are quite stunning. Stamp Set used is call Apothecary Art (Occasions Mini)

This card inspired by Donna at http://butternutsagedesigns.blogspot.com was one of my favorites but it really does take a lot of cutting with the Edgelit so I did one of the cuts ahead of time for them.

I love combining some of the new...Enchantment DSP, Outlined Expressions Stamp Set (both from the SAB flyer) along with the old ...Flight of the Butterfly and Confetti Stamp Sets.

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!

Flight of the Butterfly

Just the other day the kids and I found the biggest, fluffy-est, caterpillar that was a beautiful brown and orange color. I told Tyler that the more fluffy the caterpillar the harder the winter is projected to be. Not much after that Dale heard a projected winter weather forecast for Michigan and he heard that we are supposed to get 88 inches of snow this year when our average is 72 inches. I can only imagine that the beautiful caterpillar will be a gorgeous butterfly come next Spring.



So I thought it was time to pull out a stamp set that I haven't used in a while, and have a chance to use up some more retired Designer Paper

Keeping it simple again

I thought I would share with you all the cards that the other Red Hot Stampers made for our Keeping It Simple Challenge

Sue made this cute Bugs and Kisses card – I love all her bright color choices.

Glenda made her card while on her trip out to convention so had limited resources. I really love how she used the Circle Circus stamp set and the bright colors. She used the stampin’ spots that come in a new demonstrators starter kit to show you can get started right away. This card by Lori uses the stamp set Always and a standard size wheel. She added ribbon – we teased her about breaking the rules.

Dawn made this cute baby card for a friend who is having a baby girl soon and already has a little boy. I just love the Family stamp set, you can do so many fun things with it.

Rachel has been going crazy using the new Aviary stamp set. She loves it because she has several birds at their house as pets. Once again the bright colors really set it off.

I’m really impressed by one of our new gals, Sarah. She made her card using the Inspired by Nature stamp set, and then she thinks like me and “stepped it up”adding the Perfect Plum card stock behind it. She didn’t even stop there… She made another “stepped up” version by adding butterflies from the stamp set Flight of the Butterfly…cute so very cute.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all these fun cards by all the fun gals in the Red Hot Stampers group

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!!
