A quick post today to show this really cool masculine card. The Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper was sponged to feature land and water. It was a very easy card to put together. The picture doesn’t really do it justice.

Granny Mac’s Tea Towels
When I saw this card in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog (page 170) it reminded me of the tea towels my Grandma would hang in her bathroom when she was expecting special company. It was her Sunday School class luncheons that I recall the most. She got out her special luncheon table clothes and napkins. She usually served tuna stuffed tomatoes and cucumber salad made using fresh vegetables from my Grandpa's garden. Dessert was peach cobbler made dirtying only one bowl. She never measured any ingredients and always had a perfect crust.
On with the card…..I replaced the stitching with paper piercing to make it just a little easier on my customers and used a different framelit. I used Old Olive cut from the Bitty Banner punch. I used Naturals White cardstock instead of Crumb Cake. The Blendabilities worked great by the way. And I used Basic Black for my card base as I always like my layers.
Now I have to have some tuna salad. Mmm!
Hello Again
This card features two first of firsts. The first of first features Stampin’ UP’s Blendabilities, the alcohol ink markers made for blending and shading. The second first of first is a die cut sentiment made from My Digital Studio’s Moments Ago Stamp Brush Set and my e-cutter. Both are easy to use and make a beautiful card.
When I see this card I want to burst out in song to Neil Diamond’s, “Hello Again”.
Bee Happy
The lovely and talented Kim Coulter used this adorable bee on front of our menu folder at a demonstrator event we had this past January. I showed the menu (plus all the other charming things Kim made for this event) to my customers and they asked to make The Bee. It was something I had in my mind all year but I just hadn’t really got around to it. When the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalog was released, I saw a stamp from the Sweet Stuff stamp set that just called out for The Bee. Here’s what I camp up with:
Here is a list of the 20 body parts to make The Bee and the products needed to make the card:

Birthdays Embellished
Soft and vibrant are not the words that you would use together but in the Lullaby Designer Series Paper you will find both. The new & cool technique in this card is the use of the Scallop Tag Punch to create the mat for the Chalk Framelit die. The measurement on the Baked Brown Sugar piece is 1 15/16 (just a smidge less the 2”) by 3 ¼”. I love layers and this method makes a unique focal point.
