Happy Sunday!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Sunday to you.  I hope you are enjoying this fine afternoon.  It is Sunny and Clear (as clear as our air will ever be) here in California.  The dogs got their bath and are napping now.  Kitty has went through her morning tyrant and is napping now.  Kitty had a busy morning, she had to antagonize the dogs through the sliding glass window and then the living room window, which one of them lunged at, thereby causing her to jump straight into the air and land on poor Jeep, who got scratched right by his eye.  She knocked over my cups on my nightstand trying to get to the straws, she rummaged through the trash and now I'm finding those chicken wing bones all over the house.  But the last straw was when I was making the boys tuna fish sandwiches, and she jumped onto the counter thinking she was just going to help herself to some.....kitty is now on a time out.  lol. 

I went to our Stampin Up club and we made the cutest cards, I just wanted to share them with you.




I thought this little pop up card was so cute!  It folds down to a regular card size.  The little flaps have the same cardstock on them as well.  The flowers and butterflies are on Acrylic strips and float on the inside.  All the flowers and butterflies were made of current S.U. punches.



 
This little flap card was made using the new tag punches that are in the mini and S.U. paper and supplies.  We watercolored the flowers on the tag using our aquapens, which I love!
 


This cute vase card was cased from Brandy Cox, (the demo's  do card exchanges).  We stamped the first layer and I colored in the flowers with a blender pen, then we stamped the vases twice and stamped other floral images on to vases and popped them up.  The blue one is not popped.  I did hear that S.U. is going to come out with alcohol markers too.   My Demo, Rhonda, was not sure if it's one that is already out there or if S.U. is going to manufacture their own.  I can't wait to get some of these in the S.U. colors to go with the papers, super matchy! 
 
I had a lot of fun with these and it was nice to get away from my cave and all my toys and go to someone elses cave and play with their toys, lol.  I do have several (cough, wince) neglected S.U. stamps that I plan to start using again soon. lol. 
 
I hope you have a chance to get inky!  And if you are looking for other companies, be sure to check out Loves Rubberstamps!  There are a lot of fabulous stamps in Laura's store too. 
 
Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments,
 
Holly

Very pretty cards, Holly. I hope your pop up card closes better than one I made recently. I guess mine is too full of goodies. Ha
