Cupcake card

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card made with the Sweet Cake stamp set.  This adorable set is in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the big shot on Wisteria Wonder to create the texture on this cardstock.  I also used the matching baker's twine wrapped around the Calypso Coral ribbon. 

If you would like to see more from this mini catalog, just email me!

No, I haven't disappeared!

Okay, so maybe I did disappear for a while, but I'm back!   I've been playing with my stamps today and I have a new card to share with you.  This one uses a stamp set that I preordered from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It's called "You're My Type". 

I used the clear mount set (item # 125650) so that I could easily place the sayings on the paper coming out of the typewriter.  The other sayings in this set are "hello, thank you, you're my type, happy birthday, and from the desk of "

You might also notice the sneak peak of something else on this card-it's called a Framelit die.  This particular one is from the Labels Collection (it is the piece that the typewriter is stamped on).  These are awesome!  You can cut layers/frames  for accents and layering and comes in 6 sizes!

August Special

Can you believe it's August already?  I certainly can't!  Where oh where did my summer go?  Anyhow, hopefully you have had a chance to see the new Stampin' Up! catalog by now-it is amazing! Stampin' Up! has a great special I wanted to let you know about--

This is a great special, order 3 packages of Designer Series Paper and get one for free!  This is the best time to try a new design or stock up on one you love!  Contact me for any questions about ordering.

Ready for birthdays

Here's a card  I made with my neighbor yesterday.  We had a blast making cards with our daughters, I would love to make this a regular event!

We made the Sock Monkey birthday card from an earlier post and this one, after all you can never have enough birthday cards!  This one uses the stamp set Vintage Vogue and of course an embossing folder with the Big Shot.  If you would like to make cards with your daughters and/or friends send me an email!  I'd love to show you how easy it can be!
I have one more project to show you, but I'll save it until tomorrow!

Come on Spring!

I am so ready for Spring, it is dreary, cold, and rainy today.  I guess I am trying to make spring hurry up with this card.

I used the Fancy Flower extra large punch and the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die for this card.  I like the crisp color scheme of Wild Wasabi, Basic Black, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight.  The Tasteful Trim die is from the Holiday Mini Catalog but you can still order it using this item # 120893.  

Have a great weekend!

Playing around...

Here's a card I made last week when I was just playing around with my stamping stuff, actually just stamping for fun instead of trying to meet a deadline!

I used the Big Shot to make the scalloped circle and punches for the smaller circles.  The image in the center is from the Friends Never Fade stamp set.  The dsp comes from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack-Brights (item #117155).  The 5/8" Organza ribbon (item #114319) in the center helps to hide where the two patterned papers meet.  Hope you enjoy another easy-peasy yet elegant card! 

I was mugged today!

 Ok, not in the sense you're thinking of- It was actually a gift of a coffee mug filled with various hot drink mixes from the principals at the middle school where I work. 

Wouldn't this idea be great with our Morning Cup stamp set or Take a Sip wheel?  I can't wait to reuse this idea-Stampin' Up! style!
