Cards

Here is the cowboy boot card we made in class this week.  Pretty darn cute, huh?  🙂  I love the versatility of this stamp set and I can’t wait to make a Halloween card with it!

This card was pretty easy.  The  designer paper really makes it pop doesn’t it?  I love the new Comfort Cafe Designer Paper.  There are both great masculine and feminine designs in the pack.

My Tuesday morning class likes to bring a potluck lunch and it’s always delicious!  (I usually eat way too much!) Here’s Colleen’s easy and VERY tasty Chicken Salad:

1 – 12.5 oz can Chicken Breast

1/2 cup mayo

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  Today’s card is another swap card.  It was made by downline Vicki.   She used the stamp set “Everything Eleanor” on her card.  I love the way the Melon Mambo pops on the Soft Suede.

Swaps are such a great way to get new ideas.  I especially love seeing new color combinations and techniques or just cards made with stamp sets that I don’t have (and will probably have to have after seeing the cute card made with it!).

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

 

Hello!  Here is a card that I received in a swap over a year ago.  I keep putting it aside and never share it.  I love it though and now it’s time to share it with you.  I loved this card since I received it.  Of course, since I can’t find it at the moment, I can’t give the talented designer credit.  Yikes!  I promise to do that though when I do find it.  (It’s got to be here somewhere, right?!)

It’s SO cute!  I must have a thing for rubber duckies…    The stamp set used is “Easy Events”.  This was definitely a card I knew I wanted to share with you.  The image is stamped on Water Color Paper.  I like how she layered all the different little colored jewelry tags and fanned them out.  Pretty darn cute!  It makes me want to take that stamp set out and play!   But no, I have to clean, clean, clean today!  Yuk!  Oh, well, sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to do.  🙁

I hope you have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping.

I love Noah’s Ark!  For my youngest son’s nursery I had stenciled and painted a border of Noah’s Ark on the wall.  It turned out really cute and then we moved when he was only 3 month’s old!  I didn’t go to the same amount of work for the new room…

Two by Two was another one of those stamp sets that I knew I had to have from the new catalog.  Unbelievable as it may seem, I don’t even have it yet!  What’s with that?

This is one of the swaps from the New Catalog Swap I hosted.  It was designed by Keri Bowser.  Isn’t it cute.  I was so excited to receive a sample of this adorable stamp.  I will need to add it to my collection in the near future.

I hope you have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Today’s card is one we’re making in this week’s classes.  I CASEd it from my upline Tara but naturally, I had to switch it up a bit.  (I just can’t help myself!)  😀

I love the simplicity of the card and the Twitterpated Designer Paper.   You could make this card with almost any designer paper with a smaller design.  Quite versatile.  I hope you like it too!

Well, I think I’ve found my new favorite Stampin’ Up! color….Primrose Petals.  It’s such a beautiful PINK!  🙂  I liked it when it first came out but I didn’t fall in love with it until I started using it.  Now I can’t get enough of it!  Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of it on my cards…..just saying!

This was a simple card to make, especially if you use the Stamp-a-ma-jig.  If you don’t have this life-saving tool you may need to order one right away!  I love it for Two-Step Stamping.

I sure am going to miss “A Reason to Smile”.  I’m definitely hanging on to this one!  Don’t forget that July 31st is the last day you can get this stamp set.  It’s only $5 with a $50 order.  Don’t miss out!  Order yours today! Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Good morning!  Are you smiling?  You will be once you add this adorable stamp set to your stash!  I absolutely love the “Reason to Smile” stamp set and wish it were in the catalog.  But no, it’s not.  It’s only available during the month of July so if you like it as much as I do get it today!

Well, I couldn’t decide which pictures from convention to share with you today so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with a card!  That’s mostly why you keep coming back, isn’t it?  😀

This is one of the cards we’ll be making in our Stamp-a-Stack next week.  I just love how soft and peaceful it looks, don’t you?

I really need to start cutting paper today.  I have 24 people attending my three classes plus another 4 kits for people who can’t come….YIKES!

I”m still recovering from convention.  Got up late again this morning.  Yesterday I didn’t leave the house but today I do need to hit the grocery store and the post office.  I guess I better get busy.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Today’s card is from the New Catalog Swap that I hosted.  This card was designed by fellow demonstrator Tena Lynch.  Tena used the adorable stamp set “Bootiful Occasions” (pg 50 in the catalog)   This was one of those stamp sets I wasn’t sure of when I first saw it in the catalog but of course now that I’ve seen a ton of really cute cards using it I had to put it on my wish list!  It happens every time!

Tena also used the fun new Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper.  (item #126902 $10.95 on pg 164).  One side of the paper is these large circles and the other side is small white polka dots.  In the package you get two sheets of Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry.  How fun!  I can’t wait to play with it!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

When I first saw this stamp set I knew I just had to have it.  My mom grows Dahlias and my grandpa used to also.  If I had a garden and a green thumb I’d be growing them too.  I think I’ve mentioned that before and the fact that my grandpa used to enter his flowers in competition at the state fair.

This is the card I made for Monday night’s Shoebox Swap.  It’s pretty simple but very pretty I think.  I used the new In-Colors Raspberry Ripple and Midnight Muse on the card.  On the small piece of Raspeberry Ripple at the bottom of the card you can see the Fancy Fold Embossing Folder design a little better than the card on my last post.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  I know I’ve been slacking on my posts but I’ve been getting ready for convention!  😀  Lot’s to do!  My swaps are all done, my team gifts are done and my little gifts for some of my Stampin’ Sisters are done too.  Whew!  Oh, I also had to make a gift/project for a team event I’m attending at convention too!  But they’re done!  Woo Hoo!

Tonight I’m attending a team Shoebox Swap at my upline Tara’s home.  I love these events because you get to hang out and make cards!  What else would you want to do on a Monday evening?  Today’s card is one that we actually made at our last Shoebox Swap in May.  It was designed by my upline Tara and she used the new stamp set “World Treasures”, the new designer paper “International Bazaar” and the new Midnight Muse 3/8″ Striped Satin Ribbon.  That’s a lot of new stuff for one card.  Oh, I almost forgot because it’s so hard to see in the picture….the Whisper White background is embossed with the new “Fancy Fan” embossing folder.  It’s a shame you can’t see it in the picture because it really makes a pretty background.

Well, it’s time to clean the house for classes this week…(not so much fun!).  Then off to the shoebox swap with my buddy Laura.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Happy July!  Another hot one here in Colorado!  Thank goodness for air conditioning!  I sure feel sorry for those of you on the east coast.

It’s July and there’s plenty of reasons to smile!  The first reason is the adorable floral stamp set I used on this card.  It’s called…..”A Reason to Smile”!  The best thing about this cute stamp set is that you can purchase it for only $5 with a $50 order!  Wow!  When was the last time you purchased a whole stamp set for only $5?

Another reason to smile is that during July with a $450+ workshop you can earn an additional $50 in Hostess Benefits.  Whew!  Stampin’ Up! is pulling out all of the stops this month.  You can get more information on these July Specials on my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Website.

One more reason to smile this month is that it’s my birthday!  Woo Hoo!  The best thing about my birthday this year is that I get to spend it at convention with all my demo friends!  What more can a girl ask for?  I’m excited about my birthday and you can be too.  Send me a birthday card (hand-stamped of course!) this month and receive 10% off your next Stampin’ Up! order.

Don’t forget….you have lot’s of reasons to smile this month!
