Pheasant at Sunset card


This card was not original with me.....I saw it on a post on Splitcoaststampers, but I'm so sorry that I failed to get the posters name.   I did change the card a little bit & used some different products, but I do apologize to the original poster for not being able to give you credit.   Whoever you are, thanks for the lovely card idea!  We used various masking techniques & sponging to create this card.  We had inky fingers when we were done, but this card was a real favorite with all 18 attendees!   I love the versatility of this new "Autumn Days" stamp set---pheasants, wheat, weeds, pine cones.....what's not to love & use all year around???
Here I am again using my Big Shot!  (Did I mention that I LOVE that thing----you've gotta get one!)  This Top Note Die is one of my favorites & it is exclusive with Stampin' Up!, so don't try to find it anywhere else.  We used Night of Navy, Bordering Blue, & Silver Metallic cardstocks to create this elegant winter-time card.  Silver Encore ink & silver embossing powder complete the look of shimmer & shine with the new Serene Snowflakes  & Four the Holidays stamp sets from the current mini catalog.  Visit my website http://www.kroquet.stampinup.net/ to check out or purchase all these supplies.   Wouldn't YOU love to get this card in the mail for Christmas???

Petals-a-PLENTY!!!

What did I ever do without my Big Shot??  I am crazy about that thing!!  And the new Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder is a must-have for your cards this year.  What I love about it is that while it's perfect for Christmas & imitates poinsettias, it could just as easily be daisies or springtime flowers!  How versatile is that??  Wowza---more bang for your buck!  These embossing folders are exclusive with Stampin' Up!, so you won't find them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby----only through your humble SU! demonstrator---ME!  Visit my website link below to purchase any of the products used on this card.   Don't you also just love the images from the "Season of Joy" stamp set & the cute little border with the Scallop Edge punch???

Medallion, Anyone??

This card was soooooo fun to make!  Don't you just LOVE the new In Color Rich Razzleberry???  I just love SAYING it, let alone using it!  The color really is RICH!  And combined with SU!'s new Medallion Background stamp, it's a keeper in my stamp stash!  Here are some other fun products we used on this card:  Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series paper (LOVE that, too!), Designer Label punch, scallop circle punch, & the Color Spritzer tool---too much fun! (Oh, & by the way, all these products can be purchased at my website http://www.kroquet.stampinup.net/)

Bright Blessings Card


I LOVE this Bright Blessings jumbo wheel from Stampin' Up!  By using it you eliminate the need for any other stamp set on your card....it provides the image as well as the greeting all in one!  We wheeled using Versamark & then made the images "pop" with Pastels.  We wheeled again & cut out select leaves & then raised them with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Add some paper piercing &  some ribbon & you've got a quick, cute card!

October Stamp Camp Cards


Well, today is my son's 24th birthday---Happy Birthday Eric!!   It reminds me of how fast time really does fly.  So in honor of that thought,  I'll post a card we did at Stamp Camp in October that also reminds me of how fast the days fly by.  Spring turns to summer, then to fall, & finally to winter, which we are preparing for already! 

This card was a lot of fun to make & uses one of my favorite new products----Flower Soft (spring)!  All other supplies were from Stampin' Up! (of course!!)   Also love this new Designer Series paper "Autumn Harvest".    The tree is from one of SU!'s most popular stamp sets---"Lovely as a Tree"----love that set & wouldn't get rid of it for anything!  If you don't already own some of these great SU! products, you can get them on my website http://www.kroquet.stampinup.net/.  Check it out!

I'm Back!!

It has been a long time since I've posted anything, but I'm back & hoping to keep this up!  I am now officially moved & settled in & have actually got to work in my new Craft Room, so I will be posting some recent projects I've been working on & that we did at Stamp Camp.  Hope you'll check in often to see what's new!
