Fall Medallion Wreath

On page 6 of the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini there is the most awesome wreath made with medallions created out of designer series paper and the new Simply Scored scoring tool.  Today I created my own wreath for Fall.  I had limited supplies (created this in my trailer while we were in Powell River) so I could not put leaves on it.  But I added some images from the Raining Flowers set.....

 I used the retired DSP Autumn Vine and created a whole bunch of medallions .....

 Then added some medallion "toppers" using more medallions, buttons, brads, etc ....

 Also added some champagne mist shimmer spritz on the Cajun Craze stamped images and the "FALL" banner .....

Stamps:  Letter It, Raining Flowers
Ink:  Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip
Cardstock:  Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Whisper White
Paper:  Autumn Vine DSP (retired)
Other:  Simply Scored tool, Filigree Brads, Vintage Brads, 5/8" Brads, retired buttons, Decorative Label punch, Victoria 5/8" Lace, Early Espresso 1-1/4" Striped Ribbon, Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz
So much fun to do, give one a try!
Happy Stampin' and Scorin' .......  

Wheel, Shimmer Paint & Simply Scored Technique Card

This little mini 3"x3" card is made to showcase a Stampin' Jumbo Wheel, the new Simply Scored Tool and Shimmer Paints.

I used the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Wild Wasabi Classic Ink to create the background on this card.  I made the medallion flower out of a piece of Beyond The Garden designer series paper and the new Simply Scored tool by Stampin' Up!.  I also used the Scallop Edge Punch before I scored and folded the flower.  Here is a closer view of the flower ....

You can see the bling in the center of the flower.  I spritzed the Daffodil Delight circle with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz before I ran it though my Big Shot with a texture plate.  You can also see the bling on the Not Quite Navy layer between the two Whisper White layers.  I used a dauber to run some of the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint right out of the bottle.  Oh the bling!!!!  The leaves are made using the Little Leaves Sizzlits Die.
I also made a bigger version of the medallion flower ...

I did not use the Scallop Edge Punch on this one, and it has a few more layers in the center.  But I still have bling on the Daffodil Delight center!

You can see a bit of the bling in this picture.
Thanks for visiting, and Happy Stampin' ....

Baby Boy Bear Hugs

Time to make some baby cards again. This time blue for the boys that have been born lately.  I hauled out my Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock.  Then I went to the ribbon and - many thanks to Stampin' Up! who heard my Oh NO!!!  when they retired the Bashful Blue satin ribbon, and then this year brought it back again - and got out my Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon!  Here is what I came up with.....

I hardly ever use the Pinking Hearts punches, so decided to use them this time, along with the new Stripes Embossing Folder.  Then to put the scored lines around the stamped image, I used the brand new wonderful Simply Scored by Stampin' Up!
