Finally!

I finally have a card to share! The school year started three weeks ago and have just not had a moment to sit down and stamp. I actually had part of this card made months ago and finally finished it! I used the Big Shot Top Note Die and cut two pieces, one in blue and one in the Tea Party DSP (I love this paper and keep coming back to it). Then I trimmed the Tea Party paper so that the Ballet Blue would show through. A few accesories and I finished my card!

The Holiday Mini Catalog will be making its debut in a few weeks. Lots of fun new things! If you’ve ordered from me, you should be receiving it in the mail!

If you would like to host a workshop, email me and we can set a date! Thanks for visiting!

Another Cottage Wall Card


Here’s another card using the same Cottage Wall paper. I used my Scallop Circle punch and then took the paper-piercing tool and poked holes around it. Again, the colors are not showing up very vibrant. I purchased a new light, an OTT light. Supposedly (hopefully) it will really show off the colors of my cards when I take pictures of them. I bought it and then found that it was much cheaper online. So, I am returning the one I bought at the store and waiting patiently for the other one to arrive. It shipped yesterday but shouldn’t arrive until the 25th. Geez, that is a long time in the mailing system! Hope you have a good Friday!

Cottage Wall

This card was made using one of our new designer paper packs called Cottage Wall. It is actually hard to see in this picture how vibrant the colors really are. I’m addicted to Stampin’ Up! punches and use at least one in every card I do. The butterfly is from the Great Friend stamp set and I have to say it is one of my favorites!

Hope your week is going well!
