Elegant Flower

I have been so busy this month and my blog has been neglected. I am a teacher and between Open House and report cards, I haven’t had a chance to play with my stamps like I would like to! I did have a Hostess Club meeting last week though and created this card for it. I used a stencil from the 2010 Definitely Decorative insert called Elegant Trio (page 11). You receive 3 stencils for $9.95. I used our sponge daubers to apply the ink from my stamp pad. I had a lot of fun making this! Tomorrow I will show you another card using the same stencil. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Thank you for stopping by!

Ink: Brilliant Blue classic ink

Paper: Brilliant Blue (retiring), Whisper White, Garden Green

Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, sponge dauber, Filigree brads, clear rhinestone brads, snail adhesive, Tag Corner Punch, Elegant Trio stencils, Filigree brads

It’s Here!

The Summer Mini Catalog is here and you can start ordering from it today! Just click on the catalog and it will start downloading. If you would like to place an order, you can click my order button on the right or email me with what you would like to purchase. I am looking forward to playing around with the new stamp sets as well as the Summer Entertaining Collection. The new stamps and paper make me feel as though I am in a tropical climate! So much fun! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Sweet Scoops!

Here is a card I made using one of the NEW stamp sets called Sweet Scoops which is in the Summer Mini! (You can order from this catalog on May 1st.) The sentiment is from Watercolor Trio which is also a new set and I’ve used a new embossing folder called Square Lattice that you use with the Big Shot. Sweet Scoops really is a fun set and I’m looking forward to making some different cards with it. If you don’t have a demonstrator and would like me to send you a copy of the summer mini, just email me by clicking on the email button on the right-hand side of my blog and I will send it off to you! Thanks for visiting!

Spring is Here!

Here is another flower using the Sweet Treat Cups. I used Orchid Opulence which is one of my VERY favorites but it will be retiring. I may just have to buy a few packages of this before it goes away!

Don’t forget that Friday is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini and then on Saturday, May 1st you will be able to order from the new Summer Mini Catalog! As a demonstrator I was able to preorder a few of the stamp sets a few weeks ago. Tomorrow I will show you a card using the Sweet Scoops set and Watercolor Trio!

For You

Today I have a card that also features many items from the Occasions Mini. I used the Specialty Designer Series Paper called Sending Love Specialty. I love this paper and am really going to miss it. I also used the bird punch but ran it through the Big Shot first using the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. The button is also from the Mini and are the Sending Love Epoxy Brads in Chocolate Chip. I got the idea for this card from Becky Roberts. You can see her card here. Thanks so much for stopping by!
