For the Books &
Lovely Garden DSP for a bookmark card

Such a creative and useful idea for a card. I watched Connie Stewart's video to make my card, and you can see her video Here for all the measurements, scoring and cutting details.
So much fun, so little time.

Recipe:

• The base Blueberry Bushel cardstock is embossed with the Glass & Gardens folder.
• The Lovely Garden DSP layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The tag on the front is made with Basic White cardstock, stamped with the Bright Borders Stamps, Melon Mambo & Blueberry Bushel ink, and cut out with the To The Point Punch.  I added it to the card front with dimensionals.
• The Blueberry Bushel Base bookmark is 5 x 2 1/8. 
• The Basic White is 4 7/8 x 2. The top corners and hole for the ribbon are made with the Very Best Trio Punch.

• The words, books & glasses are from For the Books and stamped with black ink.  The books are colored with Stampin' Blends.
• The 1/8" grosgrain ribbon is some very retired Blueberry Bushel. 
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

  Year of Flowers &
Wildflower Birthday DSP 

The Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP has 10 double-sided designs, and two extra pre-printed sheets, ready-to-use designs, and this is one of them.  The only thing I did was stamp the words.  Easy, peasy.  I added a few layers, and there you have it!!!!
So much fun, so little time.

Recipe:

• The 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 base of Pretty in Pink cardstock is scored at 4 1/4.  
• The Blueberry Bushel layer is 5 1/4 x 4 and is cutout with the largest of the Textured Notes Dies.
• The Gold Foil is 4 7/8 x 3 3/8.
• The birthday cake print is cut out with the 2nd from the largest Textured Notes dies.  I stamped the Happy Birthday, from Year of Flowers, with Blueberry Bushel ink.
• I cut out three little flowers, from Birthday Celebrations dies with Blueberry Bushel, Pretty in Pink, and Gold Foil and added them to the card with Glue Dots.  
• I added three Blooming Pearl Gems to the little flowers.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

 Circle Sayings and
Floral Delight DSP 

I really like how this card turned out.  So easy, really!!!

• I stamped the words, from Circle Sayings, on Basic White with Old Olive ink and punched this out with a 1 1/4" circle punch.  The Old Olive circle base is punched out with a 1 3/8" circle punch.  This combination is added to the card front with dimensionals.

 Basic Black 6 x 8 Album and Photo Pocket Pages for a Thanks & Praise Journal.

My friend and a very talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Vicki Kuracz, created a prayer journal and I thought I would share some of the pages.  Vicki used the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack, which has since retired, however, almost any card pack will do.

Vicki has inspired me so much, that I have ordered my own album, photo pocket pages and the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack.  If my album turns out well, I might be tempted to offer a class in the near future. 

Should you want to order any of the supplies used to make this album (excluding the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack), please just click Right Here and search for Vicki Kuracz.
