Several weeks ago, I joined South Hill Designs! This is a company that sells beautiful lockets, charms, chains and much more. The new catalog just came out and many new products have been added. If you would like to see all that South Hill Designs has to offer, you can check out my website at: www.southhilldesigns.com/tbradley (my artist number is 329001).
I wore this locket one day at Convention last week. I usually wear silver but decided on gold that day because I wanted to include the popcorn charm (they sell delicious caramel corn at Convention). Oh my, it was pretty! Definitely wearing gold more often!
Several weeks ago I had a South Hill Designs party with my friends. I wanted a cute way to box up their purchases and what better way than to use Stampin’ Up! products! I used our beautiful glimmer paper to add some sparkle to the bags, although it is hard to see the shine in the picture. The green bag uses the newest glimmer paper, dazzling diamonds. Just gorgeous!! My greeting is from a set given to me at Convention a few years ago. I hope my friends enjoyed their little bags as much as their pretty jewelry!
Tomorrow I will show you the same bag except that it is taller! I’ll also post some of the swaps I received at Convention later this week! Thanks for stopping by!
You can order Stampin’ Up! products 24/7 at my Stampin’ Up! website: www.teacherstamper.stampinup.net (just click on the link)

I’m back from Convention and had a wonderful time! I was so happy that my friend, Kristina, attended again this year. She came with her daughter, Amber, and one of her downline, Delphine, both whom I had not met before. We enjoyed many meals together and laughed and laughed. These three women made my Convention such a memorable experience.
Kristina and I were able to walk on stage together!! Stampin’ Up! recognizes demonstrators who have reached 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, or 25-year milestone anniversaries with a walk across Main Stage. It’s my 5th anniversary and Kristina’s 10th! I am so glad that I was able to share that moment with Kristina!
I participated in a WOW Swap and this is the card I made. My focal point is the flower from Blended Bloom. I embossed it with white embossing powder on our vellum. I turned it over and on the backside, I used my sponge daubers and stamp pads to color it (I used Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss). I used our new BEAUTIFUL Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper underneath my greeting. It is really hard to see how it sparkles in the picture but it really does in person!
The greeting comes from the set And Many More. This is an awesome set!! (If you click on the pictures below, you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! store and you can see an enlarged picture of the set).
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I made these for the stampers at my house last week using these adorable little coffee cups. They are very tiny, but oh so cute! I covered them with our new Designer Series Paper. When my husband saw them once I had them covered with paper, he made a comment that he really liked them!!!
I wasn’t sure how I wanted to decorate the top and then decided to use everyone’s initial using the new stamp set, Epic Alphabet. There is a little hole for a straw, if you wanted to add one, but I just covered it up with one of the shapes from the Starburst Framelits and then filled the cups with M&M’s. As I said, the cups are tiny but a LOT of M&Ms fit inside!
I bought my cups and lids at The Webstaurant Store. The cups are item #9994W and the lids are #999L4W. The cups and lids themselves are very inexpensive but the shipping is quite high. I doubled my order and the shipping price stayed the same so if you purchase them, you might try that.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Here’s a fun card my stampers made last week! Take a look at the pictures below and you’ll see how it opens up. You could write a greeting on the pop up part or attach a gift card (try using glue dots). We used the Gift Bow Bigz Die which makes a very cute bow that could be used on a card, bag, or atop a gift box! Once I cut out the bow, I ran some of my pieces through an embossing folder.
My tag was made with a new stamp set, Tag Talk, and punched out with the Bracket Label punch which happens to be one of the Weekly Deals! The Coastal Cabana paper I used is from the In Color 2013-2015 Paper Stacks. I love the dotted paper and this color is just so pretty!
If you would like to see some tips and tricks for using the Gift Bow die, take a look at the video below. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

We made this cute little box at my event on Saturday morning! It uses the new Kraft cardstock which is much heavier than our regular Crumb Cake cardstock. Someone mentioned on Saturday that it would be a nice size for a cupcake and there would be room to spare on the sides!
There are several more new products used on my box. I used the Stars Decorative Mask, a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to create the stars. It is basically a stencil and you rub the color with the dauber over each of the stars on the mask. Super easy!
It is tied up with the yummy new 1 1/4″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler. Did you realize that one of our new punches is a 2 inch circle? I almost missed it in the catalog! I used it to punch out my greeting (Num Num stamp set) and with some Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered it to a Cherry Cobbler 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle.
The inspiration for this box came from fellow demo, Angie Juda!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

My card today uses a technique that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I created a watercolor look using my Stampin’ Write markers and a clear block! Isn’t it great when you have a product, like your clear block, that you can use in multiple ways??
The markers I used were Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana. You’ve seen me using the sentiments in the stamp set, Wetlands, but today I’ve not only used a sentiment in the set but the cute birds too!
Watch the video below to see how you can create this same effect!
Wetlands Wood #126695
Clear #126697
