You can save 15% when you purchase the bundle on page 93.  The stamp set is “Be the Star” and the matching Stars framelits Dies are awesome!  I love this stamp set. However, I did use the sentiment from the set “Pictogram Punches” found on page 89, even though it has several sentiments of it’s own.  I used Pacific Point inks and the silver Foil paper.

This is a Hostess set that you can get only by hosting a workshop, or a book party.  This set is very versatile as many of the images can be used on a variety of cards.  I used the new Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder and our Paper Piercing Tool.  The colors are Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow.

This is one of those single stamps that we sell that has everything you need to complete a card.  A great image and a wonderful sentiment.  You can find this stamp set, A Little Smile, on page 113.  I used the new embossing folder, Large Polka Dots for the background.  All you need is a few markers and you are good to go!

We made this card in class for Father’s Day.  I love the new Maritime DSP, found on page 187 in the catalog.  Thought it was great for a masculine card.  You will be surprised to find that the ties have been cut out with our new Framelits Baby’s First.  These framelits were actually meant to coordinate with the Stamp set on page 74, but the ties are perfect for Dad.  I used the new photoploymer Metro Type Alphabet set. What do you think?

This is a very simple card that we made at Hostess Club Friday night.  Everyone loved it. I used 2 inks, real red and black Stazon.  The stamp set is Work of Art and I used the new Washi tape, Beach House and the new Itty bitty punch.   Easy peasy!

I used the new incolor Blackberry Bliss on this card.  The stamps (photopolymer) are from the set FLower Patch on pg 156.  In addition, I used the framelits that go with some of the images in this set.   The framelits can be found on page 230.  I also used one of the new embossing folders, Large Polka Dots, just love them.    This set is so versatile and the sentiments are really cool!

I needed this little guy to make me feel human again.  Why did he cheer me up?
Well, when I came home from Water Aerobics on Saturday Morning I started getting sick and spent the entire Saturday and most of Sunday in bed.  When I finally started feeling better I knew that I had to get on the computer and start posting some cards to my blog or you would have nothing new tomorrow.
That’s when I spotted this new stamp and decided to create a card with it.  It is called Kinda Koala and can be found on page 113 of the new catalog.  I used the new Blendabilities but you can use our regular markers because I know you do not have the blendabilities yet.  Works just a well.  I use the background stamp Hardwood, and you can find that on page 175.

Hey Stampers, I rec’d my box of new products today and I am having a blast! On this card I used the new embossing folder Tiny Triangles, the 2 new Bigz Dies Flower Frenzy and Party Pennants.  You know you are going to see a lot of my new stuff in the next few days.  So excited!  BTW, I used no stamps on this card.

Saturday, Mo came over so we could work on our swaps for convention.  Well, the one card that I designed she liked it but said I could do better.  Huh!!!!!

She of course, finished one of her swaps but I am still working on mine because naturally I couldn’t go with the one I had plan on going with.  BTW, I posted that card yesterday in case you want to see it.  You tell me what you think.  Don’t sugar coat it now!

This is another card I created using the new Maritime DSP papers.  I love this set of papers, especially the Red, White, Blue and Coastal Cabana.  I bought extra of this for the 4th so I can make some patriotic cards with it.  All of our new DSPs can be found on pages 184 through 187.  Just beautiful!   Need a catalog?  Contact me HERE.

I know this hashtag stuff is all the rage right now but I still don’t know what it means.  Even though my daughter has explained this to me (something about instagram, I think) I still don’t get it.  But, I wanted to use it on a card for camp Saturday.
I sponged vellum with matching inks and punched the flower out with one of the new punches from Itty Bitty Punch Pack.  This replaces the pack that just retired.  SWEET!  I also used the new photopolymer alphabet.

This is one of the card projects we made at camp on Saturday.  I am so glad that SU decided to carry over this these Starburst framelits.  I have used the fool out of them.  It has been a long time since I used Marina Mist and I love it with red and white.

This is one of those clean and simple cards that a lot of people love to make.  The only thing extra we used on this card was a mask for the background.  Easy peasey!  This set you can get FREE by hosting a workshop in your home or mine, or having a book party.  Contact me HERE.

We made this at Stamp Camp on Saturday and everyone loved it.  It was made with a new die that is coming out on the 2nd of June.  Different versions of this are all over the internet so it has become very popular.

I love these colors together.  We made this card at my Friday night hostess club.  Everything on this card is current.  Although, that pretty lace trim is being retired.  Look for the reduced prices in the retired stamps and accessories here.

We made this card at Saturday’s camp.  These are some of the NEW in-colors.  What do you think?  The hearts are full strength from the ink pad and the swishes are all stamped off.  Won’t be long and you will have these available to purchase.

I am so glad that they carried this set over in the new catalog.  I colored this with our new blendabilities.  These markers will not be available for a while but good things are worth waiting for.  I used Lullaby DSP from the new catty and the twine is new for our in colors from last year.  I love it.

I love these new paper straws that they are selling in some of the stores.  They sell them in different colors.  These kinda look like our Sahara Sand.  I attached the little flags punched out from our Moonlight DSP pad.  Man, I love this Stamp set, Sea Street!  We will be able to get all the new stuff starting June 2nd.  Can’t wait!

When my children were small, I used to take their fingers and stick it in ink and apply it to the greeting card.  I drew little stick figures out of them and put their names next to them (as in this photo).  Everyone loved them and thought it was extra special, and the kids thought that it was fun.  Except it took forever to get the ink off those little fingers. LOL
I used the NEW Bigz Die (Hamburger box) to cut out the hearts from Watercolor Wonder DSP.

This was my first attempt at using the new Blendabilities and even though I have used Copics for a few years, these do have a bit of a learning curve.  The main thing you have to do is Practice, practice, practice……You will get the knack of it, it will just take some time.  I used the DSP from the new catalog which is from a small pack called Moonlight that contains some of the new In-colors.

We are very blessed this to have so many beautiful stamps that relate to the sea.  Especially for those of us that live on the coast.  I used the new in-color Blackberry Bliss ink for this little guy.  We were able to purchase some of the new stamps in the new catalog so that we could start using them and I love this set.  Watch for more little sneak peaks.  Can you tell I am having a blast with them?

14. May 2014 · Comments Off on Another Sneak Peak · Categories: Cards · Tags: , ,

I love this set (Something for Baby), because it comes with framelit dies to cut all of the images in the set.  When the catalog goes live you will be able to purchase this as a Bundle and get 15% off. I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding with the new In-Color twine.  You are going to love this.

12. May 2014 · Comments Off on Just Blendabilities · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

I used our new Blendabilities on this card.  The stamp (Blended Bloom) is a single from the new catalog and is perfect for these markers.  The color I used is Rich Razzleberry.  The inside of the flower I used Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.  The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts.

11. May 2014 · Comments Off on Fowers for Mom! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

Mother’s Day is here and I got the inspiration for this card from a demonstrator on Stampin’Connection.  I change it around a little and used Melon Mambo for the Flowers and Gumball Green.  Wish I could remember her name to give her credit.
I used the Petite Petals stamp set and punch and Gorgeous Grunge, all of which are being carried over in the new book.  We made this card at my club on Wednesday.

I got my Blendabilites on Wednesday and I have been playing with them ever since.  It is so much fun.  I think y’all are going to love these.  If you go out of the lines when you are coloring you just take our Color Lifter and remove the oops.  I went out of the lines about 6 times on this card and you tell me where it is…..(hint) Trees…..
In addition our new catalog has lots of open lined images to use these with.  I am so excited to show you how.  If you need our new catalog, contact me HERE.

Love this card and the stamp set is Zoo Babies which is being carried over in the new catalog.  I used Bermuda Bay and Black Stazon on this card in addition to the white organza ribbon, also being carried over.  Of course ,the DSP is from Kaleidoscope.  If you were in my Wednesday morning hostess club you would have made this card yesterday during our monthly class.

I really hate to see this Kaleidoscope DSP go.  I have gotten so much use out of it.  In addition, the candles are a wheel (also being retired) that I wanted to get some use out of before it retired.  Fortunately, the candy dots and brads are staying, and they are awesome!

After I finished this card, I thought it needed something…..so guess what?  Dazzling Details.  This is the perfect flower for that embellishment.  I used the Delicate Detail Lace tape and the Stripes Embossing Folder.

This set “So Very Happy” is also in the new catalog.  Are you into Owls?  I understand there is a whole section on Owls in Pinterest.  They are so cute!  I had some left over googly eyes and thought they would look so stinkin’ cute on these guys.  What do you think?  The last time I checked they were on the Clearance Rack.  Go HERE to see what’s new on the CR.
