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!

Here it is!! The brand new catalog!! You can begin to order from it at 12:00 Mountain Time! Unfortunately some products will not be available yet due to production problems: Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Stampin’ Pastels, Punch Caddies and the new Rub-Ons. But, there is so much more that you can purchase! I can’t wait!
Here is another “box” using the Fancy Favor die. This time I attached a flower to it that I made with the Circle Scallop punch. I’ve seen these flowers on numerous blogs but I am not quite sure where I found the tutorial. I always like to give credit where it is due but I truly don’t remember where I found this. The paper that I used can’t be purchased after today but truly it would look cute with any paper. Stampin’ Ups paper is two sided so that makes it very easy to get different looks. I love my Big Shot!
I made this little “box” several weeks ago using the Bigz XL Fancy Favor die and the Big Shot. Recognize the stamp set? Yes, it is the Watercolor Trio again. I used Very Vanilla and Bashful blue cardstock. Again I used my Stampin’ Write markers in Bashful Blue and Old Olive. 
My card today also uses the Watercolor Trio stamp. Yesterday’s post also used this beautiful stamp set which also includes the sentiment. As with my card yesterday, I used my Stampin’ Write markers to get multiple colors. Satin ribbon in Whisper White finished it off! A very quick and easy card to make!
Tomorrow is the last day to order from the big catalog! Be sure to get any items you want that are retiring!! Thanks for stopping by!

Today’s card was made with a set from the Summer Mini catalog called Watercolor Trio. It is so easy to make a card that is beautiful with this set. In person it really is very pretty. I used my Stampin’ Write markers in Old Olive, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant. After coloring the stamp with the markers, I huffed on them and then stamped. I have the clear mount set which it made it easy to see exactly where I wanted to stamp. I was able to make the card very quickly. When you use the markers, each card will turn out differently and be unique! I got my inspiration for this card and the card I will post tomorrow from Pennie McCallum. You can see her card here.
Only three more days to get any retiring items in the big catalog! All of the designer papers will be saying goodbye, selected accessories and many of the stamp sets. If you haven’t seen this lists, you can find them on the right hand side of my blog.

Here is another card where I’ve used the Island Oasis paper
and the Tropical Party stamp set. I love using this paper and the stamps because when I look at what I’ve created I feel like I am in a tropical climate! The inspiration for this card came from Dacia Smith. You can see her card here.
The new catalog goes live on July 1st! All of the designer paper is new and I can’t wait to order some and start playing with it!! You will be able to order this paper until August 31st. Thanks for stopping by!

I tend to make cards with many layers but tried to simplify the process with this card. I’ve tried to show that you can make a card with just a few supplies.
All of the paper I used is retiring at the end of the month. Unfortunately the cardstock has sold out but the Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper is still available. I used a product for the first time with this card called Build a Brad. With this product you can make your own brad! Using my 1/2″ circle punch I took the center of another flower on a scrap of Kaleidoscope and built a brad with it! Can’t wait to try it with other papers and stamps!
Feel free to leave a comment or question! I am off to do some stamping!

I made this cute little box using the Bigz XL Mat
chbox die with the Big Shot. The die also comes with three tags and that is what I used on my box (it is cut out of Rose Red). The paper is Island Oasis from the Summer Mini. I cut small strips of paper and covered the chocolate with it. It is a very easy box to put together and there are so many different ways to decorate the top. I saw a recent post from a fellow blogger who added a little easel card to the top. I will have to give that a try! Thanks for stopping by.

Here is another card using the the Bigz XL Fancy Folds die. It quickly makes a very pretty card! This time I used Cottage Wall DSP on Old Olive cardstock. I used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. I haven’t used this embossing folder in some time but it really does give a beautiful effect. I need to start using it more! For my sentiment I punched out Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Modern Label punch and then stamped my sentiment using the same punch but in Old Olive. I just cut the Rich Razzleberry punch in half and it gives the illusion that it is longer!
Did you know that ALL of our papers are retiring in the big catalog?? It will be hard to say goodbye to some of my favorites but that means that the new catalog will have all NEW paper. I can’t wait to see what will be available! Some of the retiring paper is on sale, such as the one I used in today’s card! If you would like to see which papers are on sale, look on the right side of my blog under promotions and click the link called Accessories. If you would like to place an order you can simply click the Order Now button at the top of my blog or email me directly and I will take care of it for you.
