Guest Stamper Vicky Collins...

Today's fun and sassy project was designed by Crew Stamper Vicky Collins.  Vicky adapted a pop up card to include this fun hula bear using the some new products.

The backgrounds are made with the Playful Palette DSP stack and the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  The bear is from the Bear Hugs stamp set with the coordinating Bear Hugs Framelits.  

Here's the card opened.  I love the floral Hawaiian background.  Great colors too!

Lots of stamping....

I have two projects to share today, each with lots of stamping but very different looks.  The first card is from Crew Stamper Lucy Taylor.

Lucy used the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  I love the great two step stamping she did on the flowers and leaves.  She stamped the bees on vellum and then trimmed them out.  I also love the pearls in the center of the smaller flowers.  Great job Lucy.  Wonderful use of color (Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and ret. Natural Ivory). 

Our second card today is from Crew Stamper Kelli Cochran.  Kelli mad this adorable one layer card using several of Occasions stamp sets.

The butterfly and bottom words are from the Grateful Bunch set, the silver textures from the new Timeless Textures stamp set and Gorgeous Grunge, the rose is from the Picture Perfect stamp set and the "happy birthday" is from the Sassy Salutations set.  Love it! This is a perfect example of how to mix and match your stamp sets.

Another fun fold card from a guest stamper....

Today's project is from one of our wonderful Crew Stampers, Reta Daugherty.  She used the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (retired) to make this beautiful card.  Although this die is retired, you could easily use Floral Framelits, Deco Labels Framelits or Lots of Labels Framelits to create your own fun fold shaped card.

She made a great matching envelope to go with the card.  This is it closed.  I love the way the black piece was rotated to add another shape to the card. 

Here is the card opened.  Gorgeous and lots of great layers!

Supplies used:
Window Frame Collection Framelits Dies, Petite Petals Punch
Garden in Bloom and Petite Petals stamp sets
Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White card stock
Black StazOn ink, Pearl Basic Jewels, Sequins, Silver Ribbon

I wanted to show this version as well.  She gave me this wonderful thank you card.  It has the same base, but the focal point is different and I love the hearts from the new Black Glimmer Paper.  

As long as Reta is with us today, I wanted to share a few other cards she make.  This one uses the Zoo Babies set and the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack - adorable!

Here are two more using the Go Wild DSP Stack with varying stmap sets and embellishments.  I love the layering of the different framelits dies.  Awesome!!!
