Color Inspiration card

I am happy to say that this stamp set (Branch out) is not retiring! It is however going to be on the dormant list! Anyway, I made this card using the colors from Kristina Warner's color inspiration on her blog! I hope you enjoy it!

This is the color swatch we had to use. I hope you can see all the colors in my card!

Thinking of you

I was playing around with this stamp set called "Branch Out" (113200)
And I just love how it came out. Lots of different shades of green and pink in this one! I also used the large oval punch and scallop oval punch from the mini catalog. I sure hope all these things find their way into the new catalog next month! It would really be a shame to lose this set!
Until next time friends,
GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

It's been a while

I know! It's been a while since my last blog post!

Because you had to wait so

long for a new post, I

thought that I would share FOUR cards that I have made recently! Aren't they

adorable! They are from the level 3 hostess

set called "Hand Drawn Bundle" It uses the designer series paper pack and the rub-ons. I did not use the actual stamp set on these cards. But I sure did have fun with the rub-ons and my scallop border punch and white satin ribbon!

One thing that I love is Stampin' Up's wonderful ribbons! They are so luscious! I use it all the time! If you have never tried their ribbon before, you will want to try it! You will be hooked just like me!

If you would like to earn this hostess bundle, you will have to hurry. It goes away at the end of this month! But don't be sad, it goes away to make room for new stamp sets. And trust me, I have had a sneak peak! They are great!

If you are in my area and would like the chance to earn some free stamps and accessories, call or email me today!

Until next time friends...

Thank you!

This is a very simple, quick card. But it has such an impact!

I stamped in white craft ink directly onto the designer series paper and

used white embossing powder to emboss the image. What a striking effect

I got! I have always been afraid to use my designer series papers ... I'm not sure why but lately, I have been overcoming my fear and using them!
I have thoroughly enjoyed paper piecing and am enjoying embossing on the designer series paper as well. For this card, I used Manchester Designer series paper(112464), Craft Card stock(102125) and Whisper white card stock (106730).

The set I used is Upsy Daisy(111710) and I finished it off with some Chocolate chip taffeta ribbon (109065) and white slingo unibal gel pen (105021)

Please leave a comment or email me if you have any questions about this card!

Until next time,

Bon Apetit!

For my stamp club meeting this month, everyone was supposed to make a birthday card. This is the card that I came up with! I paper pieced his clothing and hat and then stamped the birthday cake on a slider and topped it with the dome for the plate. This is my first attempt using this set but I am sure it will not be my last! He is so cute and there are so many different outfits you can put on him depending on which paper you use.Then name of the set is Voila' (115102) I used Riding
hood red and so saffron card stock along with whisper white. For his "outfit" I used Designer series paper, Washington apple. (112461) I also used 1/2 inch striped so saffron ribbon. (113699) I hope you enjoy looking at this card as much as I did making it! I loved to play paper dolls when I was a little girl and now as a big girl, I can play again!



Happy stamping and until next time...

Stamp Till You Cramp!

About four times a year I do what I call a Stamp till you cramp! This is an all day event that my customers come to and create create create! I provide projects for them to do , give them thank you gifts and hand out lots and lots of door prizes!

These are some pictures from my May Stamp Till you cramp that took place May 30th! This is the project they worked on. Its an adorable card sized magazine holder and three cards to go in it.

Everyone had a great time hanging out with their friends and working at their own pace. It's a great place to learn some new techniques, get creative and just plain have fun!

These are the kits all put together for everyone.

This is one of the thank you

gifts that I gave all my girls. They are little coaster notebooks I made with some of the designer series paper from this past sale a bration! I used the alphabet set Lovely letters (115030) to put each ladies initial on the cover. Just a little personal touch!


These are little double-sided candy boxes that I made and filled with chocolates! You can't have a stamp till you cramp without chocolate! I used designer series paper from the level three hostess set Hand drawn Bundle to cover the outside of the box and used the set Oval All (113790) and Scallop oval Punch (114889) both from the occasions mini catalog to finish the boxes off. I also used the wide oval punch (112082) to make the handle of the box.

Next are the name badges.

I make a different name badge for each Stamp till you cramp! I try to use a set on the badges that will be used on the project. Aren't they cute!

I love to spoil my customers. All my ladies are soo sweet and I just love them all! I have made some very dear friends through Stampin' Up! If I never make another dollar, it has been worth it just for the relationships that I have built! Ok, enough with the mushyness... enjoy the rest of the pictures.. they are of the ladies having fun and doing their projects!

My next Stamp till you cramp will be in July. Christmas In July! Christmas cards, Christmas music, Christmas Cookies... And lots and lots of fun! So if your in my area and think you would like to come... let me know! I would love to have you!

Until next time...

Happy Memorial day!

Before I get to the main part of my post, I want to take a moment to thank all of the men and woman who have served our country. Without the service of these brave men and woman, we would not have the freedoms we have today. So thank you! Job well done!

Wow! Shame on me! I have not updated my blog in a whole week! Well, it is time to remedy that. So, these are a couple of cards I have been working on this week. They are simple cute little cards that I made using the Pun Fun (115054) stamp set.

All the cards are very similar in style but have different elements to them. It was fun to make some quick simple cards for a change. I think that sometimes I get caught up in trying to make bigger and better things and forget to just plain have fun! So that is what I did with these cards.. I had fun! So, enjoy and if you have any questions about any of the card, please leave a comment or email me and I will be sure to get back with you ASAP with an answer! Have a great day and until next time....

GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!
