Special Order

Another special order card

I haven't worked with punch art for a while, so when my cousin asked for a tractor card I went back to when I made a similar card years ago.  Since then I have sold off some of the stamp sets that I used so I decided to make the "wheat" from the WILD ABOUT FLOWERS stamp set.  The puffs of steam are from the BUNCH OF BLOSSOMS stamp set.

This is the list of punches that I used for the tractor and the Happy Birthday 

Scallop Circle Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, 1/2”, 1”, 1 1/4” 1 3/8” Circle Punches, Small Tag Punch.

Come Stamp With Me

Today is my weekly Come Stamp With Me Class.  I open my craft room from 10am to 5pm and the ladies can come and stamp as many or as few as they want or need.
Last week all cards were sold out by 1:45 and I pulled out a reserved card just in case.
These are the 4 cards that I have out for them to make today

 This first one was inspired by Leeanne Greff
The ladies absolutely love the Adirondack chair from the COLORFUL SEASONS BUNDLE (and I do too)
This card will be out in 4 different colors for them to choose from
The  COLOR THEORY Designer paper stack is such a perfect choice

This cute Baby card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest, but I failed to PIN it so lost my link. So sorry, but if the original creator sees this please let me know so I can give you the credit.
The ladies will be able to make this either in the blue shades that you see here or in the pink shades for a girl.
I am so low on baby cards that I need to get a bunch of these made up myself

This card, too, was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest, but I failed to PIN it so lost my link. So sorry, but if the original creator sees this please let me know so I can give you the credit.
The ladies who come on Tuesdays always seem to want get well or sympathy cards so thought this was perfect, and I get to use up some of my retired DSP

Our token Christmas card for today (inspired by Donna Ross) was chosen by one of the gals who gets to come in the summer months but once school starts up she needs to get back to her classroom schedule at the nearby college.  Since today will be her last day to come (and there was only 1 Christmas card left when she got here last week - she likes to make 4 to start in on her Christmas cards for this year) I let her choose which Christmas card she would like for me to put out.  I had several on hand that I had prepared before my surgery in January and I am so thankful that I did. It has been a lifesaver!

So if you live in my area, I would love to have you stop on by and make some cards.

Contact me HERE if you have any questions

Guest Stamper, Patty

Every month I hold a FREE Class for all my Paper Pumpkin Subscribers. There are only a couple ladies who take advantage of this class (so far) but we always have a good time.  This month Patty worked on her July Paper Pumpkin Kit.

 She purchased some cute frames to frame her card fronts.  She used the EMBOSSING PASTE to put "snow" on her mountains. The "hooray" was inked with TRANQUIL TIDE

 These 2, the only difference is that the first one, the "love" was inked up in BLUSHING BRIDE

 And this second one was inked up in LEMON LIME TWIST

 Embossing the card fronts really added to her cards.

Super simple Thank you card, using the pre-watercolored note card. Tone on tone using the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Spot that came in the kit.

Sentimental Sunday

Today is our youngest son, Joey's, birthday!!
I thought it would be fun to tuck his birthday money in a pocket using the POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE stamp set.

I'm sure with their new house, some extra cash will come in handy.

for the rivets in the pocket I used the 1/8" handheld circle punch and the COPPER FOIL.  the card front is embossed using one of our new, fantastic DYNAMIC Embossing Folders: PINEWOOD PLANKS.  The Pocket is stamped with the image from YOU'VE GOT THIS Stamp Set, using Marina Mist Ink on Soft Sky Card Stock.  The stitching is Cajun Craze Ink.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEY!!

You Move Me!

At team meetings we usually end our time together with a Make & Take for everyone to do which could be helpful for their  upcoming classes.  I thought I would feature the MOVE ME Thinlits and YOU MOVE ME Stamp Set.  Buy them as a Bundle and save 10%.

This is so great! When you pull up on the tab, your butterfly flutters

The YOU MOVE ME BUNDLE is so very versatile.  You can make gorgeous butterflies, sweet hummingbirds and lovely flowers.  The solid stamps stand on their own - meaning you do NOT need to make every card flutter.  Look at the gorgeous, intricate butterfly I cut from some Glimmer Paper for these purses filled with goodies...

Guest Stamper, Inez

Today's featured stamper is Inez.  She, too, shared the cards that she made for her stamp classes...

This first card was actually made by Inez' daughter who is also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Arizona.  I love the dirty pig look with THIS LITTLE PIGGY Stamp Set

This 2nd card features the CRAFTING FOREVER stamp set.  Inez' daughter attended a class by Lorri Heiling and this is one of the cards that they made.

COLORFUL SEASONS certainly is a favorite stamp set, that's for sure!!  I'm really liking the color scheme.  Kind of non-traditional Christmas colors.

 Inez had a request for some flamingo cards and this was the first one that she made for her special order.  It features the FABULOUS FLAMINGO Stamp Set.

 A Beautiful Christmas Card featuring the STAR OF LIGHT Stamp Set.  Love the Gold Embossing!

 SEASONAL BELLS is the stamp set that is featured on this Christmas Card.

This card also features the COLORFUL SEASONS Stamp Set.  She stamped the snowflakes onto Whisper White Card Stock and then cut them out with the LARGE LETTER ALPHABET DIES.  If the ladies would cut them out carefully they would end up with a negative piece that they could use on a second card of their choice.

I love this last card because it was made by Inez' grandson!  Don't you think he did a great job??!! COOKIE CUTTER CHRISTMAS Stamp Set was carried over to the new catalog!  Good choice!!
