Cards

I LOVE the Oh, Whale! stamp set and the coordinating Happy Whale Sizzlit!  These were the first items from the Spring Catalog that I knew I had to have.  Isn’t this little whale too cute?!  He’s even cuter in person because I spritzed him with shimmer mist to make him sparkly!  How fun!

This fun little card is my swap for Leadership.  I can’t wait to see the cute samples I’ll get in return!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Happy New Year and Happy Spring Catalog!  Isn’t it fun to start the new year with a new catalog?  I love the Spring Catalog!  There are so many fun and exciting products!

This is a card I made for a swap that I hosted.  Cute, huh?  You can’t go wrong with Melon Mambo and a pinwheel!  😀

I need to apologize for being away for so long.  Of course the holidays were a busy time but I also came down with a nasty cold/flu bug in the MN homeland.  I’m on the mend now so hopefully I can keep up with things.  I just got all of the Christmas decorations packed up and put away but we still have to take the ornaments off the trees (yes, two trees…) and pack them away.  Hopefully I can get that done before I leave for Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference in Orlando on Wednesday!

I’m SO excited for Leadership!  It’s always a great time filled with lots of great information and ideas but this year I get to go to the Manager’s Recepton.    It’s a special event for those of us with the title of Manager or above and this year we have the Wizarding World of Harry Potter all to ourselves!  I can’t wait!  I’ll definitely tell you all about it!

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

Wow!  Christmas is just around the corner and I don’t have my cards out yet?  Do you?  I did finish getting them made.  Now I just need to sign and address them all!

The majority of the cards I’ll be sending out are this design.  This is one of the cards we made in our Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack.  It’s a lot prettier in person.  It’s hard to see the embossed background from the photo and you definitely can’t see that both pieces of Very Vanilla card stock are shimmery!  That’s the best part I think.  It sparkles!  😀

Hopefully I can get my cards mailed by early next week.  I’m not going to stress over it though.  I’m sure they’ll be mailed before I leave for Minnesota!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  I have snowflakes on my mind!  We may get a little bit of snow this weekend.  At least it will be cold.  Almost 70 degrees in December is a bit much unless you’re in Florida or California!  Back to the card though!  I used the new single stamp Bold Snowflake on this card.  I just love it….especially because you can punch it out!  Just grab your Blossom Punch and go!

This card was from our Christmas card Stamp-a-Stack.  Nice and simple.  Emboss your background.  Stamp your snowflake, punch it out and adhere it to the front of the card.  Add some ribbon and a rhinestone jewel and you’re all set to go!  Simple is good!  I just need to remember that mantra!  Sometimes I get a bit carried away with layers and such.  Oh, well…what’s a girl to do!  Have a great day!

I love snowflakes and am waiting patiently for a few to fall here in Denver.  We haven’t had a good snowfall yet this fall and we’re due!  We need snow in the mountains desperately.

This is another card from our Glitz, Glimmer and Glam class.  It’s hard to see the glitz, glimmer or glam from this picture but it’s there!  First you get some Glitz by spritzing the stamped snowflakes with the Champagne Shimmer Paint Mist.   The Glimmer comes from stamping snowflakes on the tag with the Illuminate Ink (you definitely can’t see this in the picture!) and the Glam comes from the adorable little fork bow.  Yes, one of these days I promise to make a video on how to make these perfect and adorable bows!
