New Video

Good Morning stamping friends!
I can't wait to show you the new unmounted stamps that Stampin' Up! is now carrying.
I have never been a fan of unmounted stamps but I am very excited about our new line of stamps. The cases they come in are so streamlined. This is going to make storing them so much easier! They are going to take up much less space... ooooooh, that means we can buy MORE stamps! lol
This is just a short video showing you how to adhere the stickers to the backs of t he unmounted stamps. I hope you enjoy it and be be watching for another video real soon!
Until then,
Go get your fingers inky!

Haitian Relief

In addition to donating a portion of sales, Stampin Up bought supplies for 5,000 hygiene kits to be sent. Employees gathered in the Distribution Center at Stampin' Up!, giving their own time to pack the hygiene kits to be sent to Haiti. What was scheduled to take several days was done in one day, thanks to the compassion and commitment from Stampin' Up! Employees.

Stampin' UP! in my opinion is a wonderful company to work with. I am proud to say that I am a demonstrator for Stampin' Up!

Sweet Treats

Well, are you surprised or what! Yes, it has been what seems like forever since I have updated my blog and I apologize for that. There really is no excuse other than just being busy with every day life and having little to no time for stamping. But enough of that, I have something to share with you today! This is a little treat that I made for some my best buddies! They were very quick and easy and look adorable! I used the sale a bration punch to make the scallop. I then added just a little bit of bling to it! Isn't is cute. I think this would be an excellent project to do for your children's class mates for Valentines. So easy, your child could even help you!

More from Christmas Jingle

Yesterday I posted some pictures of cards I made with the Christmas Jingle scrapbook kit. (115696) and promised you some more samples from it today. So here ya go! Several more scans of the cards. If you don't feel creative and motivated to make your Christmas cards this year.. consider purchasing one of these kits. You will have it all at your fingertips.

So easy and very pretty.Have a happy stamping day and GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

Christmas Jingle

There is a gorgeous scrapbooking kit in the current catalog called "Christmas Jingle". Now most people would use it for what it was intended.. scrapbooking. But if you know me, you know that I am not most people. LOL

I am not a scrapbooker. As much as I love what I have seen others do, I just am not able to put it together myself. So I do the next best thing... I make cards out of the scrapbook kits! Here are a few of the cards that I made with this kit. I made 9 or 10 cards and still have plenty of left overs to make at least that many more. I will post more pictures on my blog tomorrow.

Have a happy stamping day and

GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

As Promised!

I know, I know.. you can't believe it! But yes, two days in a row!

This is the card that I did with my club members on Tuesday. It was the inspiration for

the birthday card that I posted yesterday. It really is a fun card to make and lends its self to

so many different occasions! And EASY! This is a very simple card to make but the results are

fabulous!

Until next time....

GO GET THOSE FINGERS INKY!

Birthday card

Here I sit on this very dreary friday trying to post to my blog for the first time in a month!

I'm having a little trouble concentrating and keeping my eyes open. No, it is not because I am bored with what I am doing or because I didn't sleep well last night. It is because the little boy I babysit is sleeping in the bed right behind me and is snoring up a storm and right beside me on the floor is my dog snoring too! How am I supposed to get any work done with all this sleep noise? HAHA!

In a few minutes, I will be going to have lunch with a very dear friend of mine to celebrate her birthday. I thought that I would share the birthday card I made for her.

I really love this card and made a Christmas card in the same style which I will be sharing with you tomorrow.. yes, that's right, I said tomorrow... two posts in two days... hang on to your hats folks! lol

This is what I think is called a pocket card. The tab on the side is the inner card and you will see that in the second picture. I had a lot of fun making this card.. I have been wanting to make a card with this set forever and just have not been able to come up with a design I liked. But this turned out super sweet (no pun intended.. lol). The funny thing is... my friend is making cupcakes for her in laws anniversary party next month... like 150 of them... so I thought this would be most appropriate for her! Enjoy the card.. I sure hope my friend does.

See you tomorrow and until then,

GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!
