Fun Graduation Card

Here is another card that I was excited to make from my fussy cut pieces

Isn't this a fun graduation card using the LOVE YOU LOTS (retired) Stamp Set.

Isn't this just so cute!! It was inspired by Katy

What I changed up: I fit it onto a standard A2 size card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") and added a graduation cap to the elephants head.

The balloons are from BALLOON CELEBRATION, and punched out with the BALLOON BOUQUET PUNCH. The clouds are from LIFT ME UP (Katy made a larger card so used the Ice cream stamp from SPRINKLES OF LIFE) and the sentiment from SKY IS THE LIMIT (Retired)

Come Stamp With Me!

Tuesday's is always a COME STAMP WITH ME day!! It must be my favorite days of the week because my stamping friends join me to stamp and create. If you live in my area I would love to have you stop by between 10am and 5pm to make these cards with us.  You can contact me HERE if you have any questions

Card #1: was inspired by Lorri Heiling.  What a fun gift card holder using the POCKETFUL of SUNSHINE stamp set and the coordinating dies.

Card #2:  Starting in July I have a Christmas card out each week.  The ladies love this and many of them make multiples.  This is always the first card to sell out.  The snowflakes are from the new stamp set COLORFUL SEASONS, but I combined it with the retired stamp set Zoo Review and Many Merry Messages

Card #3: The great thing about my COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY is that I allow myself to use retired stamps, papers and accessories. This cute froggy is from the Hostess Exclusive LOVE YOU LOTS stamp set, but I combined it with the (still current) SwirlyBird Stamp Set and Swirly Scribbles Dies and the POP OF PARADISE Stamp Set (the Hello). This card was inspired by ? - I cannot remember where I copied this card from.

Card #4: (inspired by Pinterest) and since I was borrowing the POP OF PARADISE Stamp Set from one of the gals on my team, I thought I might just as well use the Flamingo image for this fun card using the (now retired) Designer Paper, Pop of Pink.
Here is a list of the Stampin' Up! items that I used for today's cards:
Stamps: Happy Birthday Gorgeous, Pocketful of Sunshine, Zoo Review (R), More Merry Messages (R), Colorful Seasons, Swirly Bird, Love You Lots, Pop of Paradise, Time of Year (R), Express Yourself (R)

Ink: Dapper Denim, Crumb Cake, Versa Mark, Memento Black, Soft Sky, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Gold Encore (R)

Moon Baby Meets Mr Froggy

I am going to miss this cute little froggy.  He is in one of the Hostess Exclusive Stamp Sets. The moon is from the set called MOON BABY and I am thrilled that it is carried over to the NEW Annual Catalog. The splashes are from the April Paper Pumpkin, but any splashes will work and there are several out there. Check out all the links below. I inked up the moon and hanging star with the Archival Black (omitting the baby image) then stamped the froggy in place.  After I was all done water coloring I just connected the moon to the frog with my Black Stampin' Write Marker using the fine tip side.

STAMPS: Love You Lots, Moon Baby, Good Greetings

Card Stock: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Shimmer White

INK: Archival Black, Soft Sky

FUN Stuff: Stampin' Write Marker (black - from the Neutrals pack), Watercolor Pencils in Daffodil Delight and Old Olive), Enamel Shapes, Sponge 

If you want to get your hands on Hostess Exclusive Stamp Sets you can book an in-home party (my home or yours) and once your sales reach $150 you can use your hostess dollars to purchase an exclusive stamp set.  

Another way to get a Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set is by gathering up orders from friends for a 'virtual' party - or perhaps you have enough items that you want for your self.  You can purchase whatever you need at my on line store 24/7, and if your total is $150 or more instead of putting in the Hostess Code you will be your own hostess and can purchase a Hostess Exclusive set with your Hostess Dollars.  Check out all the links below...

Many of the retiring items are sold out already so don't delay!!

Just Braggin'

Time again to brag on my team members and all the beautiful cards that they shared at our team meeting.

Carla was on a roll making cards. She made this one for Donne for her birthday and the next 2 Fall themed cards for the craft sale we were in on Saturday 

 So stunning

Inez shared this cute card she made using the Hostess Exclusive stamp set LOVE YOU LOTS

Want to see more exclusive Hostess sets?  All you need to do is host a workshop to earn the ability to buy these at a discount. 

Donne shared the cards that she made up for the class that she holds.  I love this first one, making great use of the Designer Series Paper that you can get on the special BUY 3 GET 1 FREE Deal going on through October 31st.

She also made these... She featured how you can stamp right onto the Designer Paper for a quick and easy card.

Want to supports a good cause? This stamp set is from the stamp set MY HERO and it is the designated stamp set to support the Ronald McDonald House.  Each year Stampin' Up! designs a stamp set and then donatess a portion of each sale to the Ronald McDonald House.

 The card on the left is a gift card holder given to her for her birthday.

 And with these two she showed how to "step-up" your card by adding layers

Lynda made this adorable card for her daughter's engagement party.  She used the colors of the wedding, Yellow and Purple, and the bride plans to carry sunflowers.  I love how we can design our cards exclusively for the occasions.

Paula made this beautiful easel card that has one of the little tea light size, battery operated lights behind the vellum. She used the stamp set JAR OF CHEER, and I am so thankful that we got a HOLLY BERRY PUNCH

Last, but not least, Dawn shared this quick and easy masculine card using a favorite stamp set WETLANDS

Help me give a shout out to the gals for their fabulous cards!!

Thanks for stopping by!
