We had such a fun time at the Stampin' Birthday Party last evening!  We had cake and ice cream sundaes and fun stamping too!  This is one of birthday cards we made.  This one uses the Flowering Flourishes stamp set and the Floral District DSP.  I love this one! This wasn't my original idea but I did change it up a tiny bit. Here's what the card looks like open.  Isn't it beautiful?! I hope you will plan to join us next year for our birthday party.  We always have to much fun at the Birthday and Christmas parties! Continue reading

Today is our Stampin' Birthday Party!  We're going to celebrate with ice cream sundaes and some stamping fun! Happy birthday to each of us.  It's party time! Continue reading

Today is the first day of the new Holiday Catalog!  To welcome in the catalog, I thought I would sit down with the new Friendship Preserves stamp set.  I wasn't in the mood to make cards when I sat down to create, I was in the mood to make some tags. This stamp set consists of 4 stamps which coordinate with the new Window Frames Collection framelit dies.  I love having stamps and dies that coordinate together! One of the things I love most about the new Holiday Catalog is the fact that Stampin' Up! is offering bundles that combine stamp sets and matching framelit dies into a Continue reading

Tomorrow we can start ordering from the new Holiday Mini Catalog!  I'm so excited about the many new supplies available in the catalog!  Here's just a little sneak peek of the things to come!  Just about everything you see here is new!!!  Look exciting? I can't wait to create more with these!  I hope you will plan to join me in upcoming classes and parties! Continue reading

As much as we may not want to think of it yet, autumn is coming.  I'm usually quit busy during the fall and I never seem to get much time to create fall themed projects, due to all the Christmas items there are to create.  I decided to get a little head start with one of the cards I created to showcase a stamping technique at the last Tech Club meeting this month. I used the Gently Falling stamp set along with a sentiment from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set and of course a fun technique I taught in the Technique Class.  I love Tech Club - it's so fun! Thank you for stopping by Continue reading

I love the Flowering Flourishes stamp set!  I created this card based on one I saw someone else had made - I love it!  You know me, I love swirlies and I love elegant cards.  This card has everything in one! Happy Saturday! Continue reading

This is one of the fun images in the fun Moving Forward stamp set.  This isn't my normal kind of stamp, but  I think this is a very cute set!   This turned out to be a fun card with the variety in colors.  When I was preparing this card for an event recently, my 4 year old was helping me sort the pieces needed for each card.  I can't tell you how excited he was with all the colors!  He very carefully laid out each and every piece - well over 100 pieces.  I guess it was a hit! Continue reading

I saw a card like this elsewhere and I had to create my own.  I love the colors and the white space!  Isn't it cute in its simplicity?  We enjoyed making this at the All Occasion Card class Monday evening.  We used the Reason to Smile stamp set and the Petite Pairs stamp set. We have one more All Continue reading

I decided you would probably like to see the complete card from the sneak peek I showed you yesterday.  (Yes, I thought about not showing it!)  Don't you love this card?  Such a great way to use up ribbon scraps and use fun accessories!  I think it's safe to say this card was a hit at the Flowering Flourishes Stamp of the Month Class! We made such fun projects, everything from elegant to simple and fun & bright.  A nice variety of cards and idea starters for the class members who now own the stamp set. I'm already looking forward to the August Stamp of the Month class with the Moving Continue reading

I'm looking forward to the Flowering Flourishes Stamp of the Month class today!  We're going to make such fun projects with the Flowering Flourishes stamp set. I'm just going to show you these two sneak peeks of one of the projects.  I don't want to spoil it for those participating in the class today! The next Stamp of the Month Class will include the Moving Forward stamp set.  The Moving Forward set is the special stamp set Stampin' Up! has chosen this year to help support the  Ronald McDonald House Charities.  I hope you will plan to join us for class, and at the same time, support Continue reading

We returned from Disney World on Friday evening, what a great time we had on our very first Stampin' Up! incentive trip!  I'll be sharing pictures with you during the next week as I try to catch up on sleep and get back to stamping!  Here we are bright and early Monday morning in front of Cinderella's Castle.  We were up very early and in the park before it was even open! Why so early?  Stampin' Up! scheduled private viewings of the Monster Laugh Floor comedy act for us to go to!  I'm not a morning person (and being up, dressed and to breakfast at 6:00 with three boys is way too early!)
