I love cards that remind me of handmade quilts which is why this card was so much fun to make. I punched squares with the Sprinkles and Sunshine Designer Series Paper using my Postage Stamp punch. My pinwheel center is a flattened Soda Pop Top (love these). I punched a heart using the Owl Builder punch, placed it in the center and added Crystal Effects to make it nice and shiny! I can’t wait to try using different papers with this pattern! This is another card inspired by Maggie Patterson and Ronda Wade.

This beautiful card was made by a member of my downline, Linda Wheelock. She used the stamp set Horse Frontier which is a set that I don’t own so I’m glad that I can show you such a gorgeous card using it. Linda used a new Designer Series paper from the Spring Catalog called Parker’s Patterns. The Labels Collection Framelits were used to frame the horse and the sentiment on the inside. She also used the Houndstooth Embossing folder. The button is the only product on her card that isn’t Stampin’ Up!

Here’s another project we made last week at my Customer Reward Extravaganza. I made my album with pictures of my sweet granddaughter, Audrey.
The album base is Marina Mist cardstock and I used Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper to decorate the front and some of the inside panels. My Big Shot dies were used to make my Rich Razzleberry mats for my pictures: 3 1/2″ Circle Die, Scallop Circle Bigz and Scallop Square Bigz Clear die. A belly band around the album keeps it closed. It is small enough to tuck into your purse and carry it around with you!
Thank you for stopping by!

I’ve had the Petite Pocket Die since it first came out and this is the first time I’ve used it. Why did I wait so long??
I used the die to create a holder for one of our Stampin’ Write markers and gave one to each of my Customer Reward Extravaganza attendees last Saturday. I ran it through my Big Shot with the Fancy Fan embossing folder and assembled it with a two-way glue pen. I wrapped a paper doily (in the Spring catalog) around the pocket and then finished it off with our new 1 1/4″ Two-Tone ribbon. My sentiment is included in the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit in the Spring Catalog. I punched it out with the Ticket Duo Builder punch and adhered it with a glue dot.
Thanks for stopping by!

It’s time for the next installment of my series, Spotlight on Tools. I’ve been trying to choose tools that I find most useful when I stamp. So, this week my focus is on the Color Coach because I use it ALL the time. I tend to have difficulties knowing which colors go together and that is why the Color Coach is so helpful. There’s a card for each color that Stampin’ Up! carries and it lists colors that coordinate! You are shown a creative combination and then either a Sweet Set or Getting Started Combination. Three colors are listed in each category. I’ve paired colors together using my Color Coach that I never would have used together had it not been suggested. When new colors are introduced, new cards are always available. It is an indispensable tool and I keep it close by when I’m crafting!
You can purchase your own Color Coach HERE on my Stampin’ Up! website.

We made this card on Saturday at my Customer Reward Extravaganza using the Swallowtail stamp. This is a card that didn’t photograph as well as I would have like as it is much more vibrant in person and the butterfly really stands out.
The base of the card is Crumb Cake cardstock with a piece of paper from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. I used A Round Array stamp set again (as I did in yesterday’s post). The large rhinestone (in the Spring catalog) really adds a finishing touch!
The inspiration for my card came from Maggie Patterson and Ronda Wade during their Creative Convention Online for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators!
