Thanks So Much

Hello! Here is another CAS card that we made in my Spring Catalog class. And it's also another case from a card in the catalog. I love getting ideas from all the lovely samples. So much inspiration!

We used some Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (129311). Gotta love that paper! And to add a little bit of texture, we used one of the embossing folders from the Needlepoint Border Textured impressions embossing Folders pack (129383).

And the 'Thanks So Much' sentiment is from the Oh, Hello stamp set (Clear 130733, Wood 130730). The lovely flower that we used on this card is from the same set, too. And we used another one of my favorite punches - the little flower punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack (118309).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Oh Happy Day!

Hey everyone! Here is another card from this month's class. We got to play with some Sale-a-bration items. And remember, you can earn Sale-a-bration items for FREE :)

Here is the Blossom Punch (125603) and we added one of the Sale-a-bration buttons from the sycamore street Ribbon & Button Pack (130812). And look at that pretty DSP - sycamore street Designer Series Paper (127540). It's one of my faves right now.

The 'oh happy day!' sentiment is from the bloomin’ marvelous Stamp Set (Clear 129654, Wood 129651), which is also from the Sale-a-bration catalog. Click here to check out the rest of items that you can earn for free.

Wonderful You

Hello! Here is a card that I made for a friend at work. The gals got to sign it too and I was so glad that she loved her card :) And if this card looks kinda familiar, I case-d it from the card that we made at our Think Pink event. Click here and here to check out the event.

To make this card, I used the Word Window punch (119857) and the 1-3/4" Scallop Circle punch (119854). And to add some bling, I used one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309) and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (119246).

To add some dimension, I used one of the folders from the Delicate Designs Folder pack (127023). And the 'Wonderful You' sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set (Clear 125845, Wood 125843). This is one of my favorite stamp sets because of all the sentiments and the pretty font :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

You're Such an Amazing Friend

Hello! Here is one of the cards that the ladies got to make in my Spring Catalog class. I wanted to make some clean and simple cards that would showcase some of the new items from the new Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. Hope the ladies liked them! They got to make 6 cards and I'll be sharing them with you this week.

I've had my Whisper White Craft Pad (101731) for some time now and I was inspired by one of the cards from the Spring Catalog. I love flipping through SU catalogs to get ideas and inspiration.

And I really like the Amazing Family stamp set (Clear 129192, Wood 129189). You can show a friend, mother, brother, father and sister how amazing they are with this stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

MDS - I Love This

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Today, I'd like to share a little MDS with you. Lately, I've been thinking about adding some frames on the walls of my craft room and I wanted to use My Digital Studio to help out a bit. So, I took one of my favorite new pictures of my nephew and niece and added it to this template. I just added a couple stamped images and changed some colors here and there. Now, all I have to do is print it and frame it :)

I got this template from the LEMONADE STAND Digital Disc (130677). As soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to add this picture to it. I LOVE THIS! And what's great about the Lemonade stand digital disc is that you can earn it for FREE!! Gotta love Sale-a-bration time! Click here to check out more info.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday :)

Happy Day To You

Hello! Today, I'd like to share a birthday card that my awesome friend Nicole made. It's so pretty! I love it! And I love her! I've learned so much from her and we have so much fun whenever we get together for some crafting fun. She inspires me :) Hop on over to teehee4two to check out all her lovely creations and the fun stuff that her sister Andrea has made, too!

You know, I've had the Paper Doily Sizzlits (125592) for awhile now but I've rarely used it. And now I'm inspired :)

I am so going to case this card. I like how the butterflies seem to be flying up the card, alternating from punched out butterflies to butterflies stamped on the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

Soda Pop Tops

Hey everyone! After flipping through the new SU Spring Catalog, I knew that these Soda Pop Tops would definitely make it on to my Wish List. Here is my first attempt at using these fun embellishments on a card. And for those who know me, using embellishments are kinda sorta hard for me because I tend to hoard them a bit. hehe.

I also used some new DSP that I absolutely love! It's a little sneak peek for you guys so come back and visit to see how you get your little hands on some. And check out the pretty ribbon. Another sneak peek item :)

I used the Collage Curios stamp set (Clear 129102, Wood 129099) to fill the large soda pop top and punched out DSP to fill the smaller soda pop tops and layered them on top of card stock punched out with the new 7/8" Scallop Circle punch (129404).

Hello! So, this is for all the dudes out there who don't get crafty but would like to do something special for their special someone who is crafty. Stampin' Up! has created this just for you guys.

We’ve got your back. Dude, you’re welcome.

Kit includes:

* Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion
* Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors

Happy Birthday

Hello! Here is another lovely creation by my friend and upline Niki. Isn't it so pretty?!?! I love the look of it. And you gotta love the Framed Tulips Folder (121809) and how it adds a nice frame to a card.

And look at this rosette made with the Vanilla 5/8" Flower Trim (126869). I think this needs to be added to my wish list! It makes such a nice addition to a card, doesn't it? And that Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (129311) is definitely going on my wish list!

And look how pretty this butterfly is! Vellum on top of cardstock... I'm thinking I need to try that on some cards. If you'd like to try it out, too, you can use the Elegant Butterfly punch (127526) to get this look.

Check out StampinWithNiki for more of Niki's lovely creations.

Thank you and happy new year!

Hey everyone. Check out this lovely Thank you card that is also a Happy New Year's card! My up-upline and friend Niki made this card :) Check out her blog at StampinWithNiki for all her awesome projects. She's fabulous!

She used a stamp set that is actually on my wish list - the Happy Hour stamp set (Clear 126642, Wood 126640). It's such a fun stamp set with different drink types and sentiments that you can use for any card!

And the Thank You sentiment is from one of my favorite stamp sets - Perfectly Penned (Clear 122892, Wood 122890). I love the font. It's just so pretty!
