Cards

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!

Doesn’t this card make you think of a hot summer day?  Mmmm!  I can almost taste the watermelon!  It’s such a bright and fun card for summer and it’s PINK!  The watermelon image is from the “Mouthwatering” stamp set.  Love that fruit!  I colored the watermelon with markers, stamped the image and then stamped the image again over the first image with Versamark so that I can emboss it.  Yes!  I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig for that!  I used Clear Embossing Powder on my card but now as I’m typing this I realized that should have used the  Melon Scented Embossing Powder!  How silly of me!  I’ll have to switch that for today’s classes!  The sentiment is from the “Fabulous Phrases”.  After stamping the word I used my Bitty Banner Framelits to die cut it.  Those little Framelists are SO cute!  I can’t wait to get the coordinating stamp set “Itty Bitty Banners”!  It’s hard to tell from the picture but I embossed the small piece of Basic Black card stock with my favorite Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I finished the card off with multiple layers and my favorite ribbon…Melon Mambo Scallop Dots Ribbon!
