Everything is Rosy Suite - Limited Time until May 31st

Stampin' Up! has done it again!
We have a limited availability suite called Everything is Rosy.
Here you can see a picture with everything that's included in the suite.

Below are a few of my creations.  This suite is expensive.  It's pricey.  I spend a few days considering it.  I decided this one I needed.  The rose gold is beautiful!

 Before I took the greeting pieces apart, I stamped them all with the set included in the bundle.  Above you'll see the ribbon border punch, and below I used the new nested dies.

 This one is my favorite.  I just can't get over the gold foil with the navy.  Beautiful!

 There it is again.  WOW.

 I took many pics to get the mirrored piece to show.  Love those little mirrored accents!

A Mess of Thank You's

I received some wonderful gifts from my students this year so over my Christmas vacation I took a day to make a series of Thank You notes with some of my new "toys".  Stampin' Up! toys, as it were.

I'm so happy butterflies are back!  The stamp set offers lots of options for designs and colors. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This first card showcases Grapefruit Grove in backing paper, punched border, and stamping as well as the gingham paper.

 The Gingham paper also comes in Lemon Lime Twist.  I can't personally stand that color, so it is always gifted to my crafting friends.  I'm showcasing 4 of the 5 colors in the Gingham Gala Suite.

 Here you see the card in Balmy Blue, and below is Highland Heather.

 Here's the card in Daffodil Delight.

I ended up making 30 of these, and split the leftovers between home and work so I'd always have a card ready to go when I need one!

They're so pretty, and quick to make.  One NOTE:  I added the sequins after I took the pictures.  They add some sparkle.

Christmas in July - July 21, 2018

Today I'm featuring the current Under the Mistletoe paper, and the edgelit from the Delicate Lace dies.   The stamps are retired, and called Wrapped in Warmth.  Christmas, plaids, knitted things...  all warm and snuggly!

 I made three of these cards, and just had to stop.  Old Olive is just not my color.  Unlike Shaded Spruce (LOVE LOVE LOVE!) that has a lot of blue in it, this Old Olive just has too much yellow for me.

The mittens come from a retired punch.  They're just the perfect size for this card.

In addition to the Under the Mistletoe I used the 'ladder' die from the Stained Glass dies.  It peeks out just enough and adds a pretty edge.

Christmas in July - July 1, 2018

Here we go again!  It's Christmas in July.
I had a moment when I thought I might skip doing this for 2018 - but changed my mind.  Now I have more cards I want to make than days in July! 

I'm starting out with some retired items.  Maybe you have these stamps - and if you don't you can certainly substitute and get the same look.

The DSP for this card is called Presents and Pinecones.

If you look closely, I used the Ribbon Border punch.  I came late to the party with this punch and have made up for it by using it all over!  It's great for adding a little border to the edge of a piece. 

As always, my very favorite Merry Christmas stamp. 
It has also been long-retired but I love it so much I will continue using it.

I made 6 of these cards.  Why 6 you ask?  For a few reasons.  When I cut 3 pieces of cardstock bases, I get 6 card bases and it's quick and easy to continue stamping once you've started!  Plus, I give out many Christmas cards every year so I need to add to my stash.

Stop by every day to check out the Christmas cards!

Thank You and Chickens!

We have family in Wisconsin that have a Hobby Farm.  My husband, who is not from Wisconsin had no idea what a Hobby Farm is.

It was a real experience for him.  There were 2 donkeys, a steer that was clearly still growing, lots of chickens, and two kitties.

 I used some of our new Garden Impressions paper for the first Thank you, and then decided to borrow my friend's SAB Chicken stamps.  There were many more on the inside of this card as well.  So many chickens!

I wanted to thank Nicole and the family for allowing us to come and see the farm.  It's fun to see updates on Facebook, but in person is so much more special!
