Cards

Hello!  Last night I had a team meeting and this card was one of our make-n-take projects.  The meeting went well and of course everyone loved the make-n-takes!  Who doesn’t love to make a card they didn’t have to design or cut for!  😀

I CASED this card straight from Pam Morgan at Leadership.  I did have to add a few extra layers and outline part of the stamped image with my White Gel Pen!  Isn’t this a fun card?!

I love the idea of the “Best of” stamp sets that Stampin’ Up! is rolling out this year on a monthly basis.  Each month Stampin’ Up! will feature a different theme and bring back favorite stamps from the past in that month’s stamp set along with one new image.  January’s theme is birthdays and this image is the new image in the set.  I need to get to work and make some cards using the older images.  Of course, February is sneaking up on us later this week so I’ll have to get that stamp set and work with it!  I LOVE being a demonstrator!  It’s so much fun to play while you work!

If you’ve ever thought of becoming a demonstrator, now is the perfect time.  During Sale-a-bration you receive 25% more stuff in your Starter Kit!  That’s $156.50 worth of product for only $99!  You can’t beat that!  😀  Contact me if you’d like more information!

Well, it’s time to go play (oops…I mean work!) some more!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Today’s card is made with the My Little Valentine Bundle that I told you about yesterday.  The little images fit perfectly on the banners you can die cut with the Hearts A Flutter Framelits.  If you’re wondering about the red/white baker’s twine on the card it’s from the Sealed With Love Simply Sent Kit that’s included in this bundle.

Don’t miss out on these cute bundles that you can use to make all of your valentines!  The last day to order them is Monday 1/21!  Contact me or order from my on-line store.

My Little Valentine Bundle (#132242) $9.95

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

Valentines Day is just around the corner….and to think I just got all of my Christmas stuff put away!  It’s time to start showing Valentines and here’s my first one of the season. Back when I had time to mess around I came up with this simple card.  Just a few punches and one inked image.  That’s it!  Of course don’t forget the layers, ribbon and dimensionals!  I don’t think I can make a card without those last three items!

I almost have all the card stock cut for next week’s classes and then I can play!  Ok….I do have to clean my house first and then do some laundry but after that I can play!  Hubby is going skiing for a couple days so I’ll have the messy house all to myself!  Hopefully I’ll come up with some fun things to share with you!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

I told you the other day that I love this little whale.  You’ll probably be seeing more of him in the near future!  😉  I just can’t seem to get enough of him!  He’s too darn cute!  I love this new two-tone ribbon….it’s kind of shimmery!  You can also get it in the combination of Pink Pirouette/Rose Red.  Too fun!

By the time you read this I will probably be on a plane on my way to Orlando and Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference.  Woo Hoo!  I am SO excited…especially for the Manager’s Reception!  I can’t wait to share so keep checking back!  I’ll try to post from Orlando once or twice at least.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

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!
