My card today makes me smile. I love all of the bright colors and it almost looks good enough to eat! My inspiration came from Stamp Academy, an online membership site that I joined.
My sentiment is not exactly where I wanted it to go. After I inked up my stamp pad and stamped, I touched my card and realized I still had ink on my hand which of course landed on my card, right near the very bottom of the card. The decision where to put my sentiment was made. I fanned out the scallop ovals so that it was good and covered. I have to say that I like the look and will probably try it again!! There are no mistakes when you are stamping!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. If you would like to place an order but don’t want to stop by my online store, shoot me an email along with your CC information and I will be happy to place it for you!

I’m loving the combination of Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder so I decided to try using these colors for my butterfly. This is a new stamp in the Spring catalog called Swallowtail. I used Versamark to stamp my butterfly onto Whisper White cardstock. Then I sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I added color using my sponge daubers. I decided to cut it out so that I wouldn’t have to be super careful with my sponging but next time I want to try it directly on Whisper White. I’ve seen many demonstrators using black embossing powder but I didn’t have any. I am happy with the effect the white gives!
My cute sentiment is a stamp set you can receive FREE with a $50 order. It is called Pretty Petites and I used the Petite Curly Label punch which is another FREEBIE!!! It is popped up with dimensionals onto a piece of Pool Party punched out with the 1 1/4 inch Scallop Circle (still available from the Holiday catalog).
If you place a $50 order on my SU! website (or email me and I can place the order for you), your name will be entered on my 50/50 board. When the board is full, I will choose one lucky winner who will receive $50 in free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me!! Just be sure that you are ordering on MY SU! page – be sure my name is in the upper right hand corner.
Have a great day!

Here’s a card that matches the bag I posted yesterday. You could make several to give as a gift or you could tuck it inside the bag to let the recipient know who the lovely gift is from.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Tonight my daughter Erin, son-in-law, and beautiful granddaughter are arriving for a visit! I am so excited that I’m jumping out of my skin!! It’s also Erin’s 30th birthday today. I can hardly believe that she is 30. Time flies by, doesn’t it? My other daughter, Jenny, will be coming for a visit this weekend too. We will have a full house and I can’t wait!
Take Care,

We also made this bag at my Hostess Club yesterday. It is such a cute little size. You could put candy in it but for the person who really doesn’t like candy (or is trying to stay away from it), you could make several 3×3 cards and envelopes to tuck inside. Tomorrow I will have a 3×3 card that you could make to match the bag. The inspiration for my bag came from Angie Juda. She made one at Christmas time and I thought it would be perfect with our new More Amore DSP.

Sorry for my absence the last few days. I’ve been working on planning for my clubs and a Customer Reward Extravaganza. Plus, I’ve been doing Spring cleaning a bit early. It’s great when you are in the mood to just get rid of things cluttering your closets and house. It feels great!!
Today I have a Valentine’s Day card for you. We’ll be making this today at my Hostess Club. It uses the new Hearts a Flutter stamp set and the matching Framelits from the Spring catalog. I embossed the hearts and the sentiment with white embossing powder. I love to emboss! If you would like to order any of the products used to make this card, you can go right to my online store HERE.

I love this card. In person it is so bright and cheerful!! I used three new products from the Spring Catalog. First, I used the Ovals Collection Framelits for my large Scalloped Oval and the smaller one. I pierced holes around each of the scallops with the new Occasions Paper Piercing Pack. It is somewhat difficult to see the holes on the Rich Razzleberry and I would suggest using a lighter color. Before I made this card I practiced on a lighter color and it was very easy to see. The smaller butterfly is one of our new punches, isn’t it cute?? It’s called Bitty Butterfly. For each butterfly, I punched out two. I glued one down onto my Whisper White oval and then used glue dots just down the center of each one for a 3D effect. I finished the card off with some pearls down the center of each butterfly and below my greeting.
If you would like to order any of these cute products, you can visit my online store or email me with your order or questions.

18 days to go until Sale-a-bration begins!! This adorable stamp set (Patterned Occasions) is one that you’ll be able to get FREE with a $50 purchase when Sale-a-bration starts! The other images in the set are just as cute!
My colors are Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive and definitely not a combination I would have chosen on my own. I checked my Color Coach (page 151 in the Annual Catalog) and it said they would look good together and they certainly do! I used the Festive Paper Piercing Pack (another carryover from the Holiday Catalog) to add the piercing around each of my shapes. I have some thank you cards to send out and this one will definitely be sent off!

You can now order from the Spring Catalog!!! Yea!!! My card uses another stamp set from the new catalog called Just Thinking. I like this stamp set because sometimes you just want to send a card to a friend for no particular reason except that you are thinking of them. Of course it could also be used to send when a friend is going through a difficult time.
My colors are Gumball Green and Midnight Muse. I love this color combination! I stamped my image twice, one in each color. Then I used my 2 1/2″ circle punch to cut out the center of the Gumball Green. You could trim it up a bit but I was happy with it. The Window Frames Framelits are still available from the Holiday Catalog and I used them to cut my stamped images. I used dimensionals to pop up the circle and then again on the bottom layer. It seemed a bit plain to me so I added the pearls to the top and bottom as well a larger one at the top.
If you would like order any of these wonderful products, you can visit my online store HERE or email me your order along with your CC information and I would be happy to place the order for you. Did you know that if your order totals $150, you get the Hostess Benefits???
