You are going to love this clay which is a new product that SU is offering in the new Catalog starting June 1st.  It is soooo easy to use.  It is made by filling the molds with the clay and they pop out ready to use on your project.  Here I colored it with one of our new in-colors, Strawberry Slush.  Look for a lot of this in my samples, I am sold on it!

Okay this is one of the clean and simple cards that so many people like.  If you have been following me long enough you know I am not a CAS stamper.  I just keep piling on, 1 or 2 layers are never enough for me.LOL  I think this is a great masculine card! What do you think?

Not only do these colors sound delicious they are beautiful together.  You are going to love our new in-colors.  I know you are going to be sick of seeing these two colors by the time the catalog comes out…or maybe not!LOL

I really feel like I didn’t use this gorgeous DSP enough and now that it is retiring, I am scrambling to use it, especially since I have sooooo much of it.  It lends itself to vintage technique that I am so fond of.

I want to wish every Mother out there a wonderful Day filled with love and family!

I just realized how much I have gone to this background paper for Mother’s Day.  It is amazing how much the background changes when the base card color is changed.

I created this card with a new Hostess set to be released in the new catalog coming out in June.  This set has so many beautiful images that you can water color.  I just love it!  In addition, this is the new DSP called Gingham Garden.

This set was part of a bundle that I got for free from SU for being a Manager.  It came with the embossing folder, matching DSP, and the coolest matching punch.   Love it!

This is one of the colors we will be saying Goodbye to in June.  I really never used it much.  It is one of those colors that is not quite dark enough and not quite light enough for me.

You can get this set with various sentiments by hosting a workshop or a book party.  It cannot be purchased but is one of the sets offered as hostess benefits.  I love all the various sentiments and they all go with “wishing you a”….  I used the bird builder punch and the big shot on this card.

I really love the colors from this big promotion.  I love the stickers and everything that is included in this bundle.  It is not just for making memories.  Even after you make a memory book from it, you have tons of supplies left so why not used them on cards?  That’s what I did here.

This is another card with the Cross my Heart set.  Hope you like it.  I used two of our in-colors with this, which are Pool Party and Calypso Coral, both of which SU is converting to our core colors.  I am so happy because I use these colors all the time.  Actually, out of the in-colors from 2012 we are keeping all of them except Lucky Limeade.  WooWhoo!

Hello Stampers, Even though I will be gone I will try to post every day so you don’t think I fell off the face of the earth.
This card I created with the Cross my Heart stamp set in the Spring Catalog.  I did use this set a lot for Valentines Day but I forgot about it.  I spotted it on the shelf and decided to create a couple of cards with it so you can get some ideas of what to do with it.

I know you must be sick of hearing me say how much I love this Tea for Two DSP.  But it is soooo pretty.  Every single sheet is gorgeous!  I have already gone through 3 1/2 packs of it.  I also love to use this Honeycomb embossing folder with this paper.

This paper is great for resist technique.  No need to emboss as it is already embossed.  Just add ink by sponging, daubers, or a brayer and the results are so striking!  Love this card stock.  It is sold on page 162 of the Big catalog.

I wanted to try my hand at cutting out the Fabric for this dress with the Big Shot.  I actually had to design a blouse to go with the jumper from the pop up Bigz XL Die.  I have so much of this beautiful fabric and I really need to start using it.  I hope you were one of the lucky ones that picked up this gorgeous fabric at 50% off in March.
