It’s a Gold Rush!
HANG ON! Be prepared for a Gold RUSH!
No, I didn't hit the lottery and I haven't joined the reality TV "finding Gold" shows… BUT… I've fallen in love with GOLD in my crafty space.
Crafting with gold tones is like the come back kid! I haven't used it much on my crafty projects and NOW the Gold embossing powder has a permanent space on my desk again. Just like the silver did for so long.
I went to my paper stash and had to "dig" for my Brushed Gold cardstock (102935). I could hear bells chiming as soon as I picked it up. *insert love music*
I started the creative process and giggled as I was making this card because it was just flowing right along. You know we all get tripped up on a project now and then. Not this one. I was literally GOLDEN!
What made this card even better was the This and That Epic Day Designer Series Paper. It may just be my new favorite *EVER*! YIKES.
Ready to recreate this card? See below for the supplies.
Supplies:
Stamps: Papillion Potpourri (123759), Kindness Matters (122902) Cardstock: Brushed Gold (102935), Vellum (101856), Pool Party, Crumb Cake Ink: VersaMark

Working with Stampin’ Up! Vellum
There is something about Stampin' Up! Vellum that I love. It provides that soft delicate feeling to any project. I have found that my Vellum stash gets lost in my paper stash and I forget to pull it out. Not today!
Working with Vellum can be fun and a little tricky. Here are a few tips when working with Vellum.
*The surface is a little slick so you will want to use an ink that will not smear. A great ink to work on Vellum is Stazon.
*Another way to use ink on Vellum is to use a Craft Ink with a Clear Embossing Powder. This is a fantastic look.
*Stampin' Up!'s Vellum is a Heavy Cardstock Vellum. Perfect to make envelopes with.
Below you can watch a video on how I created this card. It will probably surprise you. It's more of a Pocket Card!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Feeling Sentimental (#129630-Sale-a-Bration)
Ink: Basic Black Craft Ink
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Vellum (#101856)
Accessories:
Cute Clips #129389
Vintage Faceted Buttons #127555
Linen Thread #104199
Honeycomb Textured Embossing Folder #129378
1" Circle Punch #119868
First Edition DSP #121878
Here is another version that could be used for a boy made with Pool Party Core'dinations Cardstock #129321
Now it's your turn. I can't wait to hear what ways you use Stampin' Up!'s Cardstock Vellum!

Simple with Pop Up Posies
Are you loving the Sale-a-Bration products this year? Stampin' Up! has provided us with beautiful products during this amazing promotion and this year and the best part is coordinating them with our other amazing products in the Mini Catalog. Take this card for instance. I've paired the Pop Up Posies Kit with the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set. This set has such delicate greetings and they are beautiful embossed. I used Basic Black Craft ink with a clear embossing powder on the greeting and butterflies.
I created a small flower using the cupcake holders in the Pop Up Posie Kit by crinkling the cupcake holders in my hands then using a hot glue gun to secure 3 of them together. Before adhering the third cupcake holder on I pierced a Polka Dot Pool Party brad into the center and then attached it to the other two flowers. The Crumb Cake dry embossed Label is another piece thats in the Pop Up Posie Kit.
As you can see you can create this elegant card with ease using the Pop Up Posie Kit.
Watch the video below to see how I created a skirt for a dress form using the cupcake holders.
You may remember this project:
The ideas are abundant with the Pop Up Posie kit!

Seaside with Stampin’ Up!
Edited: 945pm- I'm not sure why the videos are not showing up here today. This post has given me trouble all day. Very unusual. You can view today's videos for the Whale Card and Dress Forms on my YouTube Channel HERE. Sorry for the inconvenience.
With a blog title of "Stampin by the Sea" I have to make a few "seaside" cards? Right? The Oh Whale! Collection of stamps, wheels and a Clearlits die is a perfect way to make fun Valentines Cards. Not so fast though! This happy whale has more to it than meets the eye.
Great set that you can get a lot of bang for YOUR buck!
You can watch the video below and see how I made this card using a few Tea Doilies.
You can find all these great products in my Online Store!
Check at the bottom of the post to view products used for this card as well in the video.
I have another fun card to share.
Do you remember back when I shared a card and video on using the Gesso over Designer Series Paper?
This card is done the same way using Gesso over the Tea for Two DSP.
You can see the original post with the video HERE. It's a fun technique and easy.
I then used Soft Suede and Marina Mist ink with the stamped images directly to the DSP.
*TIP: Just remember to give the Gesso plenty of time to dry.
*When you stamp onto the Gesso let the stamp images dry completely.
*You may want to tap a little heat using your heat tool to speed up the process.
Check bottom of the post to view the products I used on this card and shop!
