Welcome Baby Banner

Hello everyone!

Last week, a friend asked me to help her with some decorations for her friend's baby shower. I was honored that she asked me and so excited to help out! I love to help out with parties and events :) My friend saw the Spring banner that I made in Niki's Spring Banner class and she asked me if I could make something similar. And of course I said Yes! She needed a card, some favors and a banner to help celebrate the joyous occasion.

If you're a fan of banners and family scrapbook pages, SAVE THE DATE! Our next monthly stampin' technique class will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012. Stay tuned for more details!

Happy Mother's Day card

Hello everyone! TGIF :D

Here is another card from Niki's Spring Inspired class. Click here to see her post with all of the projects from class. This butterfly mother's day card was so fun to make. We got to use one of my favorite tools - the big shot :) We got to use the polka dots embossing folder and the beautiful wings embosslits dies, which I love! Because it not only die cuts the shapes, but embosses at the same time!

And I learned a new way to use the square scallop punch. On this card, three scallop squares were used to create one long scallop rectangle. I love when I can use punches in different ways.

Beautiful Wings

Hello!

Today, I would like to share with you a card that I case'd. This card was inspired by a card I saw on an SU webinar. As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I have access to so many training tools with great ideas and tips. I apologize, but I did not write down the name of the demonstrator who created the card. If anyone remembers, please email me so that I can give proper credit :)

And here is a closer shot of the butterflies on the card. I just love butterflies :) And I absolutely love the color combination of this card. And do you see the DSP inside the framelit? It's the Everyday Enchantment DSP that is a Sale-a-bration exclusive and I am so sad to see it go in just 2 days! I know, I know, I sound like a broken record but I can't help it! I love every single sheet and not just every sheet but also the patterns on both sides of each sheet. And don't forget, during Sale-a-bration, with every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax) you get to pick 1 item for FREE from the Sale-a-bration catalog. Sale-a-bration ends March 31 so place your orders before it goes away!

Thanks For Watching Over Me

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share a card that I made a few months ago when I first got my new Occasions Mini product. When I saw this stamp set, I knew I just HAD to have it. The Rue Des Fleurs stamp set has that Victorian look that I love. And the stamp images and stamp sentiments pair up so nicely, don't you think?

I wanted to play around with my Stampin' Write Markers. I love my Stampin' Write Markers and I'm so glad that I joined in on a marker share that my up-upline Niki put together last year. It was such a great deal! Not only did I end up with all of the markers, but I also got the matching paper :) The best part was not having to pay around $215 in one payment. The marker share consisted of a group of 4. The share lasted 4 months, but in the end, I was able to get all of the color collections, in-color collections, the storage case to keep all of the markers together, and the matching paper all for about $54 a month. And a nice perk about joining the marker share was that I got to be a hostess for a month and received a $25 shopping spree :) If you are interested in joining a marker share, feel free to send me an email and we can try to get a group started.

Here is the list of the supplies that I used for the card:

Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

Soft Suede Card Stock (115318)

Blushing Bride Card Stock (119796)

Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad (115657)

Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker (120973)

Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker (119801 2010–2012 In Color Set)

More Mustard Stampin' Write Marker (100076)

Decorative Label Punch (120907)

Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set (Clear 125487, Wood 125485)

Don't you just love that DSP? I know I do and I am so sad to see it go! It is the Everyday Enchantment DSP, which is a Sale-a-bration exclusive and the last day to get this pretty paper is oh so close! I'm also sad to see that lovely 1/8" Organdy Ribbon and the cute 3/8" Printed Designer Brads go away! Sale-a-bration ends March 31 so place your orders real fast! And remember the best part of Sale-a-bration is that you get to pick 1 FREE item for every $50 (before tax and shipping) you spend!

And another great thing about Sale-a-bration is you can join my fabulous team for only $125! AND you get your choice of free paper or a digital download FREE for the rest of the year! 

Ok, enough of my rambling about Sale-a-bration... back to Rebecca's card. Here is a close up of that flower. Again, there's that Blossom punch! I just love that punch and can't get enough of it!

Blossom Punch Butterfly

Hello! 

Yesterday was a fun and exciting day! I got to attend my first IMPRINTS meeting! What's an Imprints meeting you might ask? Well, Imprints is the name of my up-up-upline's team and there were so many of us that we all met at a hall. The samples and displays were super creative and I couldn't believe I forgot my camera! D'oh!!!! I remembered to charge the battery but forgot to put the camera in my purse before I left! So silly. But I did get to snap some pictures with my phone and I can't wait to share them with you! I can't wait to share the projects and make & take too!

With this many talented demonstrators under one roof, the card swap was AMAZING! Remember how I mentioned yesterday that I would reveal the card I made for the swap? Well, here it is....

And here are a couple close up shots of the Happy Birthday banner and the butterfly. Those who know me, know that I love punches and what's better than punches? Using a punch in ways outside the box! And I was super excited to make the butterflies for the cards. For the butterfly, I used the new Blossom punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

All of the lovely ladies who were at the Imprints meeting are super creative but let me just take a minute here to talk about my amazing upline Nicole for a bit here. She did a demonstration and let me just say.... she was GREAT! Not only did she dazzle during her demonstration but she also made little goodies for each of us! Isn't she so sweet?!?!

But wait! There's more!! And aren't these super cute too?!?! Look at the little bunny peeking out of the window :)

Sneak Peak

Hello!

Today I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of the card that I will be sharing with everyone at my very first IMPRINTS meeting :) I am sooooooo excited! Maybe I was being all nerdy, but I had all of my materials ready for the wonderful projects we will be doing and I had all my cards ready a few days ago! OK, to be honest, I had everything done last weekend. hehe. No, I'm not excited... not at all ;)

I can't wait to see everyone today! I can't wait to meet new people and I can't wait to see familiar faces as well. And I am really looking forward to seeing all of the awesome creativity that these women bring to the table!

Here is a picture of part of the card:

Inspire

Hello everyone!

Here is a card that a friend gave me. Click here to see Niki's post about this card.

There are so many things that I love about this card! How she stamped all over to give it a background look, the polka dot embossing folder, the lovely glimmer paper, the embellishments and the ribbon :) And there was a little bit of sponging goin' on, which is one of my favorite techniques!

And here are some close up shots of the flower in the center of the card. I love the different layers of the flowers and to top it off, the cute designer button! I'm thinking I need to order more of those designer buttons because I just can't get enough! And I'm thinking I need to order myself the Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit! Along with the cute die-cut flowers, the kit also comes with Pink rhinestones! Growing up, I was never a pink girl, and even though my favorite color is still blue, I am leaning more and more towards the color pink :) Maybe it's my mom's influence because that seems to be her go-to color these days :)

 

Here is a supply list of the product I think Niki may have used:

And here is a close up of the stamped image and Happy Birthday sentiment. I learned a new technique in class that night!
