Stamp Set: Bootiful Occasions Card Stock: Midnight Muse, Real Red, Soft Suede, Whisper White Ink: Midnight Muse Markers: Midnight Muse, Real Red, Soft Suede Accessories: Midnight Muse Striped Satin Ribbon Tools: Big Shot, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Hello! I’m loving this “Bootiful Occasions” stamp set! This card is CASEd from the talented Michelle Theriault. Of course, I changed it up again although hers was adorable as is! This card is TSC! (TooStinkin’ Cute!) I can’t wait to play with this stamp set again! OK….you will see another card made with this cute cowboy boot in the new future as we’ll be using it classes next week! 😀
I LOVE the new Woodgrain Embossing Folder for the Big Shot! I can’t wait to use it on fall cards! I used a Stampin’ Sponge to rub a little Soft Suede ink on the embossed image and it just made it pop. That’s one of my favorite little tricks to use with embossing folders.
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!).
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!
Stamp Set: Reason to Smile, Day of Gratitude Card Stock: Primrose Petals, Whisper White Markers: Primrose Petals, Gumball Green Accessories: Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals
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!
Stamp Set: For the Birds Card Stock: Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White Ink: Black StazOn, Pacific Point Markers: Real Red, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight Accessories: Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals Tools: Big Shot, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Blender Pen, Decorative Label Punch
This adorable stamp set was one of the first stamp sets from the new catalog that I knew I just had to have! It’s so stinkin’ cute! I made this card for the new catalog swap that I hosted.
Most of the image is colored with markers but I used a Blender Pen and ink pad on the bird. Don’t you love the new Fancy Fan Embossing Folder? Too fun! I like the way my label turned out. Pretty clever, isn’t it? I punched out a label from Pacific Point card stock with the Decorative Label Punch. I then cut the label in half horizontally and attached the pieces to the ends of my Pacific Point card stock. A simple plan for a new look!
Take care! Have a great day and Happy Stamping!
P.S. I would love for you to leave a comment sometime. I get tons of comments but they’re all spam so it would be fun to get a legitimate one sometime! 😀
Last Saturday was my birthday and I got to celebrate it at the Stampin’ Up! convention in style thanks to my roomies Laura and Cheryl. They presented my with this lovely tiara and birthday sash. I also got glow-in-the dark necklace and earings. Weren’t they sweet?! I had Laura take this picutre of my on my phone so I could share it immediately with my fans on Facebook! Did you miss it last week on Facebook? You better make sure you’ve “Liked” my Stamp by Stamp Creations page there. If you need to do that just click on the Facebook link on the lower left side of this page.
Thank you again to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
This video was my absolute favorite part of convention. Every year there is a theme song for convention and professionals perform the song during our opening session. This year when the lights dimmed and the music began we saw this video. It’s the staff at the home office lip-dubbing the song. An absolute treat! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (and still do!). 😀

If you’d like to place an order click on the “Order On-line” button to the right. That will take you to my demonstrator website on the shopping page.

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!
Wow! Another great time at convention! I’m exhausted but I’m already looking forward to next year! Next year will be Stampin’ Up!’s 25th Anniversary and they’re already planning big things. If you’re already a demonstrator you may want to mark your calendar for July 18-20 2013 so you can attend this fabulous event. If you’re not already a demonstrator you may want to consider joining my team of SASsy Stampers (Seriously Addicted to Stamping). We’d love to have you on our team. There 4 of us from my team at convention this year and two of us won Prize Patrol (door prizes)! How fun is that?
Cheryl was absolutely giddy about winning a Prize Patrol. In our convention bags we all receive a colored wrist band (there are quite a few different colors/designs). After a stamping demonstration on main stage the presentor will show the winning wristband on the screen and those lucky deomonstrators will receive some of the product that were demonstrated. It’s all very fun and exciting! Janet was pretty excited about winning too. Neither of these girls have been coming to convention for too long a time (unlike us old-timers!).
Our group hasn’t been too lucky with the Prize Patrol the past few years so having two of us win was pretty exciting!
Stay tuned this week for exciting convention news!
Oh, before I forget….Stampin’ Up! has a small regional event coming to Denver on Saturday Sept. 8th. Have you thought about becoming a demonstrator? This would be the perfect chance for you to check out what it’s like. The cost is only $75 for a whole day of fun. Let me know if you’re interested. Registration begins July 26th and it fills up FAST!
Janet
Have a great day and Happy Stamping! I need to do some laundry and unpack my bags with all of the stamp sets I brought home! 😀
P.S. I do need to apologize for this post….I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to put in two photos! Yikes! I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Woo Hoo! The time has come to head to Salt Lake City and the Stampin’ Up! Convention! Convention is an absolute blast and once again this year I get to celebrate my birthday there with all of my Stampin’ Sisters! 😀
This card is my swap card this year. I made 91 of the darn things! Yikes! They’re easy, fun and cute though. I like them so much that we’ll be making them at our Stamp-a-Stack class at the end of the month! 🙂
The leaf image is from “Just Believe” and the sentiment is from the new “Loving Thoughts”. I did use a few different types of designer paper and ribbon on the 91 cards.
I’m not sure if I’ll have a chance to post while I’m at convention. If not, tune back in next week on all of the fun updates from convention! 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 RichRazzleberry. How fun! I can’t wait to play with it!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello! This is the project that we made in this week’s classes. A little purse with four note cards. Once everyone figured out the scoring for the purse the class went pretty quick. Everyone had a different piece of designer paper from the Floral District DesignerPaper pack and different colored card stock and ribbon. It was fun to see the different final projects. We used the Note Cards & Envelopes from Stampin’ Up! (#107311 pg 160) which made the little cards even easier! An easy and fun project for summer!
I received my pre-order from the upcoming Holiday Catalog the other day and can’t wait to start playing! So much fun stuff! Those of you who are my customers should receive your copy of this little catalog (it’s so big we can’t call it a mini anymore!) by the end of July! You can start ordering from it on August 1st. Woo Hoo!
