Incredible Like You

Thursday, February 28, 2019
INCREDIBLE LIKE YOU Stamp Set is a great 2 step stamping stamp set, but it is also loaded with fun sentiments

This first card is teamed up with BUFFALO CHECK Background Stamp. The sentiment was stamped with VERSA MARK sticky ink and heat embossed with WHITE EMBOSSING POWDER. The LAYERING CIRCLE DIES are a perfect match for the sentiment on this card.
This second card I made a wreath with the leaf stamp simply by tracing a circle using the LAYERING CIRCLES DIES. 
Other items used on this card is the BERRY BURST METALLIC EDGED RIBBON
This pretty card was made by Janell for display at the open house in January,
Another great thing you can do is to create your own Designer Paper:
I gave my team a challenge to create their own designer paper and I can't wait to see what they all come up with .

Climbing Roses

Wednesday, February 27, 2019
What a beautiful card made using the CLIMBING ROSES Stamp Set.
I stamped the image with VERSA MARK sticky ink then heat embossed it with GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER. After that I colored it in with the STAMPIN' BLENDS in LOVELY LIPSTICK.
Look at that great lattice die cut, it adds a touch of elegance to the base of your cards. I also really LOVE the die for your sentiments. I'm sure I will be using this in many cards to come.
The Designer Paper is from the ALL MY LOVE Designer Paper Pack
Card inspired by Amy Koenders

I Played With a Little Froggy Today

Tuesday, February 26, 2019
When Sale a Bration started and I saw the darling little frogs in the SO HOPPY TOGETHER Stamp Set, I knew it was a must have for some fun whimsical cards.

 This first one was inspired by Melissa Davies. I think it is adorable - only wishing it was not a "brew", but more like a soda, but the people purchasing my cards will probably think the "brew" is a great thing.

Product used: BUBBLE OVER Stamp Set, BOTTLES AND BUBBLE FRAMELITS DIES 
Card Stock Colors: Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, Real Red, Crumb Cake
Ink: Smoky Slate & Memento Black
Granny Apple Green Blends
And a variety of bling - whatever I could find laying around. Some are current, some are not.
Card #2 was inspired by Linda Suarez and features the WELL SAID BUNDLE - "HAPPY" stamped in Gorgeous Grape and "birthday" cut form Gorgeous Grape Card Stock.
On both of the cards I was able to cut out my frogs with the coordinating dies that is available to purchase on Friday, March 1st.
Also used: 
THICK WHISPER WHITE for the card base (I really like to use the THICK for the base because it holds up so much better)

Tea Together Remake

Monday, February 25, 2019
Do you remember me showing you this beautiful card using the TEA TOGETHER Stamp Set, made by Dawn for our Occasions Catalog Swap? Did you know that you can get FRAMELITS to cut out the tea set during Sale a bration for FREE with a $100 purchase? Click HERE to check it out.
I told Dawn that I was going to have to copy her card.
How I changed it up:
I used Flirty Flamingo instead of Blushing Bride card stock
I used the STAMPIN' BLENDS instead of colored pencils
I popped up the MOM with FOAM ADHESIVE STRIPS which are just a bit thicker than the STAMPIN' DIMENSIONALS
And although you cannot see it in the photo, I spritzed the whole card front with CHAMPAGNE MIST SHIMMER PAINT (mixed with Rubbing Alcohol in our STAMPIN' SPRITZERS)
 Between these two photos you can see the up close differences
This just shows you that no matter what elements you choose to use you can make a beautiful card. Dawn left the inside blank so that it could be used for Mother's Day or a birthday.
The LARGE LETTERS are a MUST in my crafting. They are perfect for cards like this one, but also handy for scrapbooking.  This is called the ECLIPSE TECHNIQUE.

Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, February 24, 2019
This last week I walked down memory lane.

I'm sure everyone has a "memory box."
Mine has been AWOL for a couple years and we recently found it.

It was so fun to pull out old photos and special things saved over the years.

One thing that really surprised me was when I found Dale's 6 month old baby photo
It really threw me back to realize how close our youngest grand daughter, Mercy, looks like him
What sweet babies!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Special Orders

Friday, February 22, 2019
Sometimes it can be a challenge when you are asked for a special order card, but recently I was asked to make two of them for some ladies at church.
This first card was for a 90th birthday celebration. they said he loved music and feeding the birds. SHEET MUSIC Background Stamp to the rescue along with PETAL PALETTE for the bird and leaves. I added the 90 in the inside using a retired stamp bundle NUMBER OF YEARS.
The second request was for a Mother's Day card for her sister, asking that I incorporate a cardinal onto the card in memory of their mother who passed away last year. I had to use a couple retired items on this card (ALL HOLIDAY'S stamp set and the BIRD BUILDER PUNCH). Cardinals really make me think Christmas so it was more of a challenge for me.
I'm happy that they were happy!

Wonderful Romance, Guest Stamper, Sue

Thursday, February 21, 2019
These beautiful cards were made by Sue - my very first recruit nearly 11 years ago and she has stuck with me all these years!!
I asked my team members if they would be willing to make up some samples for my open house and these are the ones that Sue made.
Featuring the LACE DYNAMIC TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDER, she cased it from Amy K
 Featuring the GINGHAM GALA 6x6 Designer Paper Stack
At the open house I had everyone vote for their favorite cards - ones that they would like to see at an up coming class, and this last card was definitely a favorite so it will be featured at an up coming Stamp a Stack Class.
Colors are Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather.

Humming Along

Wednesday, February 20, 2019
HUMMING ALONG - what a fun stamp set, especially if you love hummingbirds. My sister loves hummingbirds and it's always fun to send her cards with this fantastic little hummer on it.

I will be featuring these cards at some up coming classes.
Want to join us for a fun time of stamping? Please check out the side bar of this blog to choose a class that works best for your schedule.
Card #1 was inspired by Mercedes Weber on the demonstrator only web site called Stampin' Connection. Another GREAT reason to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! You have access to so many resources, AND you get to be a part of my super fun stamping team: Christi's Creative Crew.
I used my SPONGE BRAYER for the variegated background
Card #2 was inspired by craft-somnina-momma
The background was made using WATERCOLOR PAPER and an AQUA PAINTER.
STAMPIN' BLENDS are the perfect marker for these lined stamp images. I  imagine technically hummingbirds are a set color but with stamping and coloring you can have any color you want.

This last card was featured at a Tuesday Class

Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, February 17, 2019
I have the sweetest friends!

My friend, Becky, is one of those extra-special friends because we have been together as friends for 50 years! We celebrate our anniversary this year!  How did we meet? Well, when we were 12 years old we became pen pals...YES PenPals!! bet you don't hear of that much anymore do you?

We met for the first time when we were in high school when she came to my area of Michigan for an event. And then not again until we traveled to her home after the birth of her second baby.

Even though we haven't physically spent time together, we have stayed close through correspondence. We can definitely say that we have prayed one another through many of life's up's and down's.

Earlier this week I received a package from Becky. She called it "late" Merry Christmas, and "early" Happy Birthday.

Look what I found in the box:
What I also need to tell you is that Becky is an amazing seamstress. She really makes the coolest things for bazaars and special orders.
 The one on the left holds ink pens (or whatever you need) and it attaches to your journal, book, or Bible, and is made from sturdy vinyl.
Becky knows that I am an M&M super fan, and Yellow is my favorite character.
This zipper pouch must have been made from an M&M package because just look at the back...
FUN!! Right!! and it is lined with fabric.  I mean, seriously, how cute is this??!!
But really choked me up was the memory pillow she made because of losing my mom last year
Can you read it? It say "Forever with the Lord in heaven! Forever with us in our hearts" Jacqueline Joslin 8.3.28-10.13.18
 And then I turned it over...
How she does all this, I'm not sure, but I LOVE IT!!
Thank you dear friend for touching my heart.
And thank you for stopping by!

Sprinkled With Love

Saturday, February 16, 2019
Earlier this week I showed you 6 cards that were a part of my Stampin' Up! teams SWAP cards.
What is a SWAP?
Everyone signed up for the SWAP brings a full size card for each person signed up. (All cards are identical) When we go home from the meeting we will have (in this case) 8 different cards that we can use for our personal card sending or a help in planning for our next classes.

Being a part of a team like this is so rewarding. The team above me fell apart, but my team under me continues to grow and bring me great joy...and we have SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER!!!

SEE BELOW FOR THE DETAILS IN HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF MY TEAM

This card was made by Lynda who was unable to make it to our meeting. I was thrilled when the weather lightened up and she was able to drop mine off.

Isn't it adorable!!
Lynda took advantage of the FREE Sale a bration set HELLO CUPCAKE, and teamed it up with the heart framlits from  the BE MINE STITCHED FRAMELITS and the ALL MY LOVE Designer Paper, both from the Occasions Catalog.
