Today I am going to brag on my team members

We had our monthly team meeting last week and we all love to share what we have been working on. Not a one of them has a blog like me so this is a great chance to publish what they have been working on.

We will start with Linda's cards

Carla's cards:

These next cards were shared by Inez:

And these 2 are from Pam

Last but not least are these 3 cards from Anna

I hope that you have found some inspiration. I believe that some of these have been cased from other demonstrators, but I would not be able to track that down, however there are a few cards in here that I have also made. I tell them we sure know which Stampin' Up! demonstrators to follow.

Baby Thank You's

Tuesday, March 2, 2021

Our church honors first born babies with a shower and it has been my habit to make each of them a dozen thank you notes for them to use to thank all of those who gifted them with baby things that they will need.

Recently we had 2 baby showers and now I see we have another one coming up soon. Time to make up a bunch of thank you notes

I love the little critters from Welcome Easter, and even though it is retired, it is a go-to stamp set for me.

Inspired by Mikaela

Inspired by Silke S

Fable Friends was another favorite for baby cards because this little bunny looks just like Peter

Rabbit. This set is a mixture of Granny Apple Green, Bumblebee and Rococo Rose. I used the designer paper from the insides of Paper Pumpkin Kit envelopes.

These two cards are actually for 2 different thank you gifts.The Bumblebee designer paper from the February Paper Pumpkin - inside the envelopes worked perfect with the little chick and the granny apple tree designer paper behind the little lamb is from a SAB paper from last year.

My other go-to stamp set for these cards is Cuddles & Kisses - also retired, but I guess this is why we don't sell our favorites.

Dandy Laser-Cut Paper

Sunday, February 7, 2021

One of the new products in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper (154300)

Sometimes items like this get over looked so I wanted to pull it out and see what I could come up with

It's kind of hard to see in the photo because they are all white pieces.

And there are so many more options than what I came up with because you can color each piece with your Stampin' Blends or sponge daubers. In fact, you can use some of the pieces as a mask and double your pleasure.

However - this is what I came up with

Card #1 - I left the sentiment off becasue I'm not sure what I will be using it for yet. I also added one of the small sprigs to make it look fuller. I also added and extra layer with a scalloped circle (Layering Circles Dies #151770) in Mossy Meadow and a stitched circle for the sentiment. (Stitched Shapes Dies #152323). All popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Card #2 - This front piece made me think of the fence that Mr. McGregor may have had up to keep Peter Rabbit out of his garden. I was looking through my bin of extras and found this cute FABLE FRIENDS (retired) bunny and even the Crushed Curry "happy" die cuts (Well Written Dies #151816) which I actually layered 3 on top of each other to make it stand out.

Card #3: I LOVE the Seaside Spray card stock color and HOPING that Stampin' Up! will bring this color into the main color families line-up next time they do a color re-vamp. I pulled in the HAPPY THOUGHTS Stamp Set (#154507) for the sentiment. This is where I took a little liberty...I found a VersaMark Marker at a local craft store so that I could use it for just the "happy thoughts" portion so that I could heat emboss it with white embossing powder onto black card stock. Then I stamped the full image using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White (new product that replaces Whisper White #159276), and I cut the words apart as seen. The little flowers are from Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and punched with the coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch (#154239) AND the beauty is that you can buy the stamp set and punch as a bundle and save 10% (#156214)

Card #4 - I am using the Dandy Garden 6x6 Designer Paper again (#154297) I have seen many examples using this piece and I'm wishing that I could buy just this piece in bulk. I embossed it with my new favorite Embossing Folder PAINTED TEXTURE 3D (#154317). I'm using the same HAPPY THOUGHTS Stamp Set, but this time I stamped the sentiment in black before I embossed it, then I stamped it a second time with Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White and fussy-cut the "happy thoughts" to pop it up using the MINI STAMPIN' DIMENSIONALS (#144108).

I pulled in my DRAGONFLY GARDEN Stamp Set (#154411) and coordinating DRAGONFLIES PUNCH (#154240) to stamp the dragonfly. BONUS: Purchase the stamp set and punch as a bundle and save 10% (#156224). Optional: there are dragonflies on some of the designer paper that you can punch out and use on your card.

Card #5: This particular piece of designer paper is a "WHAT?" - way too 'out-there' for me - however - using the dragonfly piece on the front really tones it down, and as I laid this piece on all the different patterns, I really fell for this one the best. Another dragonfly is added onto the front. It's so nice to have cards that have no sentiment on the front so that I can use it for whatever occasion comes up.

Card #6: Other than the Seaside Spray card (#3), this card is my favorite. I actually had this cute little turtle from BACK ON YOUR FEET (#149385) all ready to go in my left-over stash, and it was already colored and mounted onto an Old Olive scalloped circle (Layering Circles Dies #151770). I used the MESSAGES DIES (#154422) for the sentiment. This is such a great one piece die but you get a multitude of cut outs. Check it out: Awesome, right!!??

There is a stamp set that bundles with the Messages Die - Many Messages Bundle (#156222)

This stamp is ONE STAMP with many words that match up exactly to the one piece die. HOWEVER - what I ended up doing is cutting my words apart so now I have individual word stamps and I can use them with any of the die openings available.

Weekly Challenge

Monday, May 4, 2020

Last weeks weekly challenge to my team was to make a card using a stamp set that is on the retiring list.

I shared with them this card that I made last year using the stamp set FABLE FRIENDS

I made this one for my daughter in law who has our 3 youngest grand children, and then I made one with only 2 little baby goose for our daughter who has our 2 oldest grand children. (Last year)

The first card sent in is from Carla - she used the BEST CATCH stamp set and said she is sad to see it go. (me too)

Rachel sent in the second card ... Rachel is new back in to stamping and only had one current stamp set that is now on the retired list, so she used SWEETLY SWIRLED. She made one with and one without the sweet little pup from BELLA & FRIENDS

A perfect sentiment for our stay-at-home-mandate

Anna made this card using BROADWAY BIRTHDAY

Barb used the stamp set HONEY BEE

And so did Janell - and Janell said she used the bubble wrap technique

Pam made this very spring-like card with DAISY DELIGHT

Just an FYI Although Daisy Delight is retiring, Daisy LANE is NOT retiring

so you can still make gorgeous daisies and use those punches

Karen made a sympathy card using FLOURISHING PHRASES

Lynda made a cute thank you card using ANIMAL OUTING

I bet there are a lot of people you can send thank you cards to during this time.

Who has helped you get through this time?

Inez made this next card with the BEE THANKFUL stamp

And Vicki used WOVEN HEIRLOOMS stamp set - just an FYI - the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set is RETURNING but the fabulous frame dies and embossing folders are on the RETIRING LIST. I love these frames so very much and am super sad to see them go. Be sure to get your order in before it is too late and they are all gone.
