Fruit Stand “Mother’s Day” card
Filed Under Mothers Day | 3 Comments


I just love this new stamp set "Fruit Stand" and especially the grapes stamp shown here! I don’t know that grapes are especially "Mother’s Day" but heck, I needed a Mother’s Day card for my April class, LOL! BONUS: Download PDF directions here.
The leaves and the tag were done with what I call ‘faux paper tolling", I bent the edges of the paper and adhered them to the card with Dimensionals(tm) under certain raised areas on them to keep them 3D.
I’m getting into showing side shots to give you more detail, there’s another detail shot in the directions as well. Enjoy!

One more “Wonderful You”!
Filed Under blog | 2 Comments


I really do love this set "Wonderful You" however it is actually one of the few two-step florals that I actually must use the Stampamajig with or I can’t line it up!
This was one of my April "Stamp a Stack of Stuff" class projects this month. I’ll have the class outline uploaded shortly!

This set and jumbo roller wheel are part of Stampin’ Up!’s "Free Wheelin’" Promotion that runs until April 30th! Get a jumbo roller wheels are FREE when you buy the coordinating stamp set. THIS is my favorite set/wheel combination "Wonderful You" & "Stems and Silhouettes" wheel! DOWNLOAD the directions to this card HERE.
This card is a sample of one of the projects in my monthly "Stamp a Stack of Stuff" class… check out my calendar page for upcoming classes (my next "Stack" is this coming Thursday evening and repeats Friday morning).
The "Wonderful You" (Pg. 91) flowers were colored with Brocade Blue and So Saffron markers directly onto the stamp and then the flower was stamped on top of with it’s matching outline stamp ink in Brocade Blue as well. The leaves are 2-step stamping with Always Artichoke for both the leaves and the corresponding outline leaves. Again, download the direction sheet above for all the details. What do you think?

WOW I love that Bloomin’ Beautiful set!

The minute I saw that set in the Occasions Mini Catalog I knew I had to have it!
This was my WOW Card for my WOW Swap on Stampin’ Up!’s Bermuda cruise where I have been relaxing on instead of blogging! Real life is just not measuring up to cruise. Imagine I am expected to cook, clean and NO ONE here folds down my bed and puts a chocolate on my pillow (sniff!).

All the little details like 3D blossoms, a distressed tag and Crystal Effects bee were all FABULOUS ideas (before I realized that making 20 of them would be a bummer–or a lot less fun anyway. The background Designer Series Paper is Le Jardin and the very background is the bold flourish from the Brocade Basic class.
This was also one of my March Stamp a Stack of Stuff class.
