The sentiment is actually one of the new rub ons from the summer mini catalogue and it comes in chocolate chip and white, how good is that! (they are normally black and white). The designer paper and chocolate chip ribbon is also new from the Summer Mini. 
I have embossed the butterfly from the Touch of Nature stamp set in white EP onto vellum cardstock and cut it out with my SU Paper Snips. It has been attached with a dimensional.
I have used SU markers to colour directly onto the flower stamp to get a two colour image. The Single Marker Promotion has been so popular that Stampin' Up! have extended the promotion till the 14th of December so you still have a little bit more time to order your favourite colours. 
Some of the accessories I have used are: White Gel Pen, Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Earth Element brads, Fire Rhinestone Brads, lots of different circle punches, snail adhesive and dimensionals.
go.
As you probably know there is one more week till the spring mini catalogue retires and also one more week till the start of the new summer mini catalogue. I cannot contain my excitement any longer so here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago using some summer mini items. I can't say much more than that so here it is (Love it).
Remember if you want me to send you a copy of the new summer mini when it is released just let me know via my email address digitalfox1975@hotmail.com with the subject line as Summer Mini.
The colours I have used here are Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Purely Pomegranate and Whisper White. I have used SU 12 X 12 textured cardstock for everything except the photo mat. The word "Proud" has been stamped on the Holiday Harmony DSP in Chocolate Chip ink using the Big Deal Alphabet. The word Dad is the same except it was stamped on whisper white CS and cut out. 
This next one was for my Aunty Robyn's birthday. She is also a SU demonstrator and you can check out her blog here - Rainbows by Robyn.
I have embossed the heart stamp from the Always stamp set (retiring soon) in white EP onto Vellum card stock mounted it on some whisper white CS and cut it out. I then used my pretty in pink and certainly celery markers to colour the vellum. I used the Certainly Celery Prints DSP to almost cover the card base and embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment (from Darkroom Door, yes I know I have committed Rubb-adultery) in white EP. The ribbon is from a retired ribbon originals pack. I have had so much fun with this colour combination and I can see myself using it again and again.
There have been quite a few of these Christmas Bauble cards about in the blogging world so I thought I would have a go at making one myself. I have seen them done a few different ways but I don't think anyone has done them this way. What I have done is make a template by taking a piece of CS the same size as my card front and then punching out the three circles using the 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/4 inch circle punches exactly where I wanted them. 
I then position it over my confetti white card base and sponge on purely pomegranate ink in a circular motion using a sponge dauber making one side of the circle darker than the other. I then stamped the swirly image from the Season of Joy stamp set (soon to be retired in the spring mini catalogue) onto the baubles while the template is still in place. 
I then remove the first template and mask off the baubles with the circles I created when I punched the first template. I place the second template at the top of each bauble and sponge in Encore Gold ink with a sponge dauber to make the bauble top and then do the same with the string template. You can then remove all your masks and finish off your card.
This second one uses the So Swirly Jumbo wheel in Old Olive. The pine tree from the Lovely as a Tree set is then inked up in Old Olive then I took my chocolate chip marker and coloured the tree trunk directly on the rubber before I stamped it. 
The last one uses the Solemn Stillness two step stamp set. I have used Always Artichoke for the tree and then the decorations have been embossed using Gold EP. The Sentiment is from the Many Merry Messages stamp set and it has also been embossed straight onto the Holiday Harmony DSP (soon to be retired from the Spring Mini Catalogue). The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate double stitched grosgrain ribbon. The card base on the last two cards is Confetti White CS which I found makes a great strong card base for my christmas cards. 
On the inside of the cards I used the different christmas messages from Many Merry Messages.

This card was for my friends son. The colours are Really Rust, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip. The Lion is from "Wild About You" and has been coloured with markers and stamped on glossy cardstock and punched out with the scallop circle punch and then mounted on another scallop circle. The chocolate chip layer has been crimped using the crimper. The DSP I have used is Spring Showers.
This last card uses Summer Picnic DSP (If you like this you will need to order it this month because it will soon retire when the spring mini ends Nov 30). The ribbon is Real Red Striped Grosgrain and I used my Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Markers to colour the image from "Boho Backgrounds" and the sentiment. (You will be able to order single SU markers from Nov 10th till Nov 30th). I have made a custom envelope using whisper white CS and stamped it to match the card.
Well I hope you like these cards. I have heaps more to show you, I just have to get the time to write them all up.
It was my son's 4th Birthday today so I thought I would show you the card I made. I used some non SU items on this card because he is a mad Spiderman fan. I made the wall using Brilliant Blue CS that was scored to look like bricks with my Cutter and scoring blade and then sponged on some Brilliant Blue ink and Basic black ink with my sponge daubers. The "Happy Birthday to You!" is from the SU Rub-Ons pack "A Perfect Day" and I have to say they are the easiest Rub-Ons I have ever used. Keep a look out for a fantastic Rub-On Special coming soon. I have used Basic Black CS for the road and the card base is Real Red. His name has been written with my Basic Black Marker.
