Charlotte's Web

You may have seen this cute card in a previous post, but I had to share it again because our grand daughter got 2 supporting roles in the Children's Summer Theater in a town near us.

Even though Gracie tends to be a little shy, she really, really wanted to do this and we are so proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone.

You rock #announcer #3, #spectator!!

I'm so excited that THIS LITTLE PIGGY made it into the new Annual Catalog as well as the WOOD TEXTURES 6x6 Designer Series Paper Stack.

Do you have a copy of the new Annual Catalog?

I would be happy to get a copy in your hands. If you are a regular customer with me I will send one to you, but if you are a first time customer, all you need to do is place a $50.00 order (or more) at my on line store HERE, and then let me know that you are interested in a catalog by contacting me HERE and I will get one shipped out to you ASAP.

This Little Piggy Treats

These are the treats that I made for the gals who attended the June Stamp a Stack classes. I am so thankful to everyone who takes the time to come stamp with me at my monthly Stamp a Stack Class that I like to give them just a little something. I also really like making the little treats so it is a win-win situation.

How cute are these??!! I used the WOOD TEXTURES 6x6 Designer Paper Stack and the MINI TREAT BAG DIE (retired) along with the THIS LITTLE PIGGY Stamp Set.

Want To Take A Bicycle Ride?

When I was a little girl my favorite toys were ones that had a lot of pieces to them, and I think that is why when a stamp and die set has a lot of pieces, it really does not intimidate me. The BIKE RIDE stamp set has all you need to design your very own bicycle, and pairing it with the BUILD A BIKE FRAMELITS makes it super easy to make this darling card (that was inspired by Lisa Curcio).

I would love to have a cute, pink bike like this one with a basket for Lucy to take a ride in, but my bike is a purple one that I bought at the second hand store, and since I am not terrible steady on it, I sure would hate to put a lot of money into a new one. (I've already fallen once from it)

I get occasional requests for a bicycle themed card so this is perfect!

The areas that look like a light gray are stamped with Memento Ink and stamped off once. I love the look it gives.

The "Happy Birthday" is from the single stamp STYLIZED BIRTHDAY (retired)

Beautiful Bouquet and Springtime Expressions

Such a fun summery feel to this card. I love the color combo of blushing Bride, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist.

Stamp Set used: Beautiful Bouquet
Butterfly Die: Springtime Expressions
Leaf Die: Eclectic Layers
Card inspired by Chat W. What I changed up: the Designer Paper banner was cut from Color Theory 6x6 pack (retired). Chat used Picture Perfect Designer Paper 6x6 (retired). I also left off the button to keep the card a little more "mail-friendly."

Thankful For You

I'm Thankful For YOU! I truly, truly am!!

This card was inspired by Dawn Griffith and features the PAINTED HARVEST Stamp Set.  You do not need to wait until fall season to enjoy the beauty of these pretty sunflowers.

Very pretty!

I decided that the background Whisper White Card Stock was too plain so I tried it again with the BASKETWEAVE Embossing Folder...

I love the difference, but I will give the ladies a choice of which way they like it best.

Actually I think this would look even more elegant if stamped on Very Vanilla instead of the Whisper White.

Whisper White: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

                          5 1/4 x 4

                          4 x 3 1/4

                          2 3/8 x 1

Early Espresso: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8

                          4 1/8 x 3 3/8

                          2 1/2 x 1 1/8

Petal Palette From the Heart

Another Petal Palette Card

Because I am using the retired Pink Pirouette Card Stock, I am featuring this card at my COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY class.

This cutie was inspired by JanB 

What I changed up was the fact I used a small heart die instead of the Enamel Shapes that JanB used. This is due mostly to cost, because I have so many ladies coming to make cards on a Tuesday I would quickly run out of those heart shapes.

First Full Day of Summer!!

This is a perfect card to commemorate the first full day of Summer (Which was yesterday), and dipping my feet in Lake Michigan sounds pretty good right now.

The beaches in Greece are totally different. Check out all the stones - and this was one of the best beaches!!

I chose to put an overlay of vellum on the front so that I could add the words "just breathe" from the COLORFUL SEASONS Stamp Set. The gals who come to stamp may chose to add it or leave it off, depending on how they like it or what they need. The Adirondack Chairs are cut using the SEASONAL LAYERS THINLITS
This card was inspired by Linda Tolson Yarbrough from the Demonstrator Planning Place on Facebook.
Stamps: May 2108 Paper Pumpkin (sun rays), High Tide, Beautiful You.
Colors: Sahara Sand, Dapper Denim, Crushed Curry, Soft Sky, Memento Basic Black.  Markers: Lovely Lipstick and Blushing Bride (retired)
The sun was punched from Daffodil Delight using the 1 1/8" Scallop Punch, Chairs from Seasonal Layers

Sitting Pretty Again

On yesterday's blog post I told you to stay tuned to see what I did for my Down line team at our monthly meeting...
Are you curious?
We featured the SITTING PRETTY Stamp Set and Dies like I mentioned yesterday.
I like to make a board up of all the pieces and options

The fancy bench (top left) needs to be stamped, then cut and if you cut off the back it makes a great table. The traditional bench (top right) is strictly a die. But look - it can also be a fence or shortened to make a chair.

Two puppies?? But there is only one puppy stamp in the set.  Well I followed the you tube video by Designer Chick who showed how to make a mirror image and get 2 puppies! 

The cobblestone is for embossing only, but can also be cut out like you see above. You will want to purchase the EMBOSSING MATS for the best images using not only the emboss only dies, but you will be able to emboss using your cutting dies as well!! YES!! these are a MUST-HAVE!!

Another great perk for the PRETTY PARK DIES is that the dies come with 3 identical heart dies, making it so much easier if you need to cut out multiples.

The brick stamp is easy to line up because the stamp set is photopolymer and totally see through. Stamp it once, flip your stamp over and line up, and so on and so forth.

This is the card that they made for their Make & Take that night. Also inspired by Designer Chick

This time the cobblestone was embossed right onto the card front, and then using a sponge dauber we colored over the embossed image.

And look... Here is a video put out by Stampin' Up! for you to watch featuring the SITTING PRETTY Stamp Set and Dies

I would love to have you join my Stampin' Up! Team! Please follow the links below...

Anywhere With You...

I absolutely LOVE the SITTING PRETTY BUNDLE!!
I featured it for my team meeting and this cute card (inspired by Robin Daus) was featured in my June Stamp a Stack Classes
Don't you just love that cute little squirrel and birdie!!

I should have given this card to my hubby for our anniversary because the sentiment is so perfect for us.
Colors: Mint Macron, Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla, Smoky Slate
Ink: Basic Gray, Mint Macron, Tranquil Tide, Soft Suede. Lighter versions of the inks were just stamped off.
The darling bench was stamped with Versa Mark onto Very Vanilla and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.
Stay tuned for tomorrows post and I will show you what I did for my down line gals featuring the SITTING PRETTY BUNDLE

Abstract Impressions with Springtime Impressions

I LOVE THIS BUNDLE!!
We made this card at CARD CLUB last night and it not only features the ABSTRACT IMPRESSIONS and SPRINGTIME IMPRESSIONS THINLITS DIES, but we also used the STAMPARATUS!!  So super excited that this fabulous tool is now available for all of you to purchase. You are going to LOVE IT!!

Can you see the little marks that Stampin' Up! added to the window sheet that the Photopolymer stamps come on? I added a dash of Sharpie Marker in that area on the stamp itself so it would help me to line things up when stamping.

Although the stamp set gives you the ability to make a 3 step flower, on this card I chose to only use 2 steps. They are not numbered on the window sheet, I will call them stamp 1 and stamp 3. These are the two I used. (photo above)

This first card was inspired by Melissa Davies
It also includes the label from the STITCHED LABELS FRAMELITS DIES, Shimmery PEAR PIZZAZZ RIBBON, and Whisper White BAKERS TWINE
Do you love the color scheme? Inks used: Grapefruit Grove, and Old Olive
Card #2
The beautiful butterfly and 1" banner is from the new, fresh PINEAPPLE PUNCH Card Stock, all teamed up with some COPPER TRIM and Rhinestones

This second card was inspired by Mary Brown.  What I changed up: I chose to make the card base cut from the SOFT SEA FOAM Card Stock. This is such a soft gorgeous green color. I cut a 4-1/4 x 

5-1/2" piece of THICK WHISPER WHITE Card Stock and added MULTIPURPOSE ADHESIVE SHEETS to the back and then cut out the corner die from that.  This made it easy to adhere the entire front to my base.  HOWEVER, I would have loved to pop this up on Dimensionals, but I think it looks really pretty just as it is. I also added a smaller sentiment and this one is perfect for a variety of occasions. Right off the top of my head I'm thinking engagement, but it could be for so much more!!

Don't you just love the new butterfly die? Why did Stampin' Up! retire our old butterfly die and then bring in a new one?? Well, I LOVE the change! It's no different than buying a new dress that might be similar to an older one you always loved. Sometimes you just need a fresh new look!

If you like what you see, I would love to have you shop with me.
