July Swap

Each month my upline Jackie holds a meeting for us and we usually share in a card swap.  This is my swap for July.  I used the new Holiday Mini catalog Wonderfall leaves stamp set and matching Bigz die.  The new Core'dinations card stock and new woodgrain embossing folder.  I used the new designer ribbon sliders also from the new holiday mini with just a little lace ribbon to add a little more texture.

All these new products can be found in the new Stampin' Up!

Holiday Mini catalog starting August 1st. All these products and more can be found on my Stampin' Up! website.

Until Later,

Happy Stamping,

Love Mason Jars!

I made this today to send a friend that fell and broke her knee cap.  I used the new Stampin' Up! Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the new Holiday Mini catalog that goes live on August 1st. I just love this set and look forward to making many more projects. Got this idea from Melissa Davies

Where Has The Week Gone?

This week has been a busy one.  Family here and gone, my birthday to celebrate and Stampin' Up! goodies to unpack, bag and get ready to deliver.  In between all of that I made my August Thank you cards for my customers and played with some new Stampin' Up! goodies I got for myself.  It has been like Christmas around here.  Here is a look at the card I made for my ladies. I got this idea from Robin Feicht over at Stamping Country

My Birthday

Today is my 60th birthday.  I can remember when I thought 60 was really old and that anyone that old was real close to the grave.  Well I'm here to tell you that even if my body feels 60, my mind is young and well.  I got some beautiful cards from stamping friends today.  They are all so creative.  Thank you ladies.

Freshly Made

Today I wanted to make a card using a sketch, so I went to my files and found Freshly Made Sketches #4.  This is what I came up with.

I used Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.  I love tags of all kind so when I saw this sketch with a tag I knew I would enjoy making it.  The Designer Paper is SU Floral District.  I used a little lace ribbon and a pearl for the bird's eye and the center of the flower.  The stamp sets are Betsy's Blossoms and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  All products are Stampin' Up!

Until later!

Perfectly Preserved

We love to garden and enjoy the harvest God gives us each year.  We had a great crop of potatoes, tomatoes, and greenbeans this year.  When Stampin' Up! came up with this stamp set I fell in love with it and knew I would buy it. 

The stamps and the Sizzlits die go together perfectly to make cute projects.  All stamps, dies and designer series paper come from the new Holiday Mini Catalog which goes live August 1st.

July clubs are coming up this weekend and I have some projects for my ladies.  Using one of the new In-colors "Raspberry Ripple" and one of the new stamp set "Postage Due".  I have this card for them.  Thank you to Yvette Ashe where this idea came from.

This next card is made using a stamp set called "Creative Elements".  The ladies will be doing some fussy cutting, layering, and using the Big Shot and one of the new embossing folders and one of the new Sizzlits dies. 

Until later,

Happy Stamping!

Christmas In July

July is an exciting time if you are a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Our new Holiday mini catalog is here and we are able to pre-order products and get ready for our workshops that will take place in August.  The new catalog goes live August 1st.  I have always loved Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke and this was a great time to uses these colors together.  The stamp set is "Evergreen"and Stampin' Around wheel "Music Notes".  It's hard to tell here but the stamps are trees, star, and the words to Silent Night.  I also used Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon, a  rhinestone and Frost White spray mist to add some bling.

Need A Kleenex?

Nice Kleenex holder for your purse.  I made this using the new Stampin' Up! Summer Smooches Fabric (125411).

I found the pattern at one of my favorite stamping site BarbStamps  Very easy and oh so cute. 

Made using Kraft gift box, Summer Smooches Designer paper and coordinating colors in cardstock and ribbon from Stampin' Up!  

Until later,
