I’ve been making a large amount of 3×3 cards to take with me to a Holiday Boutique on Saturday. I think they turned out cute and were very easy to make. I used two of my Big Shot embossing folders: Perfect Polka Dots and Petals a Plenty. I used the Perfect Punches stamp set which is really one of my favorites. I punched the sentiment out with my scallop punch. The entire stamp set coordinates with a punch. I love that! If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please email me! I’d love to hear from you!

Here is another Christmas card I made. I based my card on a card I saw in the Holiday Mini on page 15. I made a few changes and used Garden Green with Cherry Cobbler. I always like to use my embossing folders with my Big Shot and used it this time on the Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. I also used the new Decorative Label punch on page 25 in the mini. Hope this inspires you to stamp today! Thanks for stopping by!

This card is a little bit difficult to see in the picture but it is VERY pretty in person. It was very simple to make but really looks very elegant. The Northern Flurry textured impressions folder (can be found on page 26 in the Holiday Mini) transorms plain cardstock to a beautiful background! I added a few rhinestones in the center of three snowflakes. I used the Perfect Punches set for my sentiment and punched it out with my 1 3/4 inch scallop punch! I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals! The inspiration for this card came from Pennie McCallum.

We made this card at one of my Big Shot classes and everyone really enjoyed making it. I used the Cracked Glass technique and in person, the butterfly is very shiny. To make the butterfly I sponged three different colors on our Presto Patterns paper and then cut it out using my Big Shot and the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die. Then I used clear embossing powder and my heat tool. I repeated the process three times. Very easy for such a pretty look! I like what the pearls do for the card and I think they are my favorite new SU! product! My inspiration for this card came from Dayanna Donng. I hope this might inspire you too give this technique a try! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me!

You could also put a gift card on one side too! My inspiration for this bag came from Sandy Hancock’s site. She has great directions there too!

I love this new set, Day of Gratitude, which can be found in the Holiday Mini! I was able to make this card pretty quickly. I stamped my images with Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight onto Whisper White. Then I ran it through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. My scallop is also in Cherry Cobbler and I stamped Thank You (also in the Day of Gratitude set) in Cherry Cobbler too. I love these new colors. I hope this inspires you to give it a try! IF you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Sorry that I haven’t posted very often. I am a full time teacher and school started a month ago. I am still trying to get caught up and find time (which I really haven’t) to sit and stamp. Here is another card I made using the Owl punch. It is just like one I already posted but it uses different colors. I used Early Espresso cardstock and Greenhouse Gals DSP.
Our new Holiday Mini goes live on the first. It is packed with great products. If you’ve ordered from me recently you should be receiving it in the mail very soon!! Have a great weekend!

I’ve been gone too long! The last month has had some challenges and I wasn’t able to sit and create, at all. I have a Big Shot class on Tuesday so I spent yesterday creating some projects. This is one of them using the cute new owl punch. It is so much fun to use and the little owl will always look different with every card you make! I used the Scallop Square Bigz die. The white part of the card lifts up and sits on the square scallop. I got the inspiration for this design from Andrea Walford’s blog. I also used the square lattice embossing folder. I like the look but sometimes when I use that folder my project doesn’t lay as flat as I would like but it sure is cute. The sentiment is from one of the level 2 Hostess stamp sets called Apple Blossom.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be posting again in the next several days since I made several cards this weekend.

I have received my shipment of new items from the catalog but I haven’t had a chance to create anything yet! I am hoping to play will all of my new fun stuff today. I am most excited about the pearls and rhinestones!! If you missed them, they are on page 188 in the new catalog!
Here is a card I made several weeks ago for a workshop. It uses the Island Oasis Designer Paper from the Summer Mini. I love this paper and will be sad when it goes away on August 31st. The stamp set I used was Tropical Party. It is a very quick and easy card to make except that you have to cut the flowers out which really goes pretty quickly. I popped up the top flower and the one on the right with dimensionals. Thanks for stopping by! I am off to play with my stamps!
