I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this set (which retires with the Occasions Mini Catalog on April 30th), will come back in the 2012-13 Catalog... here's to hoping! The set 'Bordering on Romance' was featured in these posts (#1, #2 & #3) as projects for my SAB stamp festival. Get it while you can! Those of you coming to my Stampers Xpress tonight will be making this! Accessories to make ... View Post
Wedding Petite Purse favor
Isn't this lovely?! Another awesome project made with Stampin' Up!'s Petite Purse die... available as a pre-buy before it isn't available until the new catalog in June. And I've been asked by quite a few people what the dimensions and the purse (without the handle) is--it measures about 3 x 2 1/2 x 1 inches. Crank out as many as you need of these lovely purses as a wedding favor... and ... View Post
Apothecary Art Designer Cut Birthday Card
I totally love this set (do you notice I am stuck on a roll with it)... and isn't the cardstock awesome?! The Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog has a new card and envelopes set 'Designer Cuts' which features four each of two stunning laser cut vanilla cards. My TOTAL favorite is this lacy bottom... I sponged it with Crumb Cake ink to give it an antique look. I did a video here on how to ... View Post

Leadership 2012 Display Boards
I got some exceptional photos at Leadership this year. I did miss 'actual' display boards (they didn't have them), but they had a lovely display of samples that Stampin' Up! put out. I also got some great shots of the set 'contest' entries and the demonstration shots from the overhead screens. There are 300+ photos in all (at least 8 pages). To view without the 'lightbox' effect (and view at ... View Post
Gently Falling ‘Giving Thanks’ card
I just simply love this new set of outline/inline stamps 'Gently Falling' from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. In fact, I actually got my act together and created a video (if you are reading this via Feedburner mail, you can't see the video). [iframe http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ey6blvabpqI?rel=0 560 315] You'll see that my hand is bandaged... I got the idea to give my cat a flea-bath. ... View Post
Manhattan Flower Bride Dress Card
Isn't this an awesome idea? I just had to CASE the bride dress idea I received from a swap at convention where Betty Button, Hinesburg, Vt., made a wedding dress from detail on the Manhattan Flower embossing folder (#114517). I opted to make my card Vanilla on Vanilla and used the new Beau Chateau designer paper and coordinating Marina Mist cardstock and ink. How simple!!! What you might ... View Post
Noteably Ornate Card
This is one of my favorite cards in a long time. And with Mother's Day just around the corner, wouldn't this make a fabulous card for that special woman (with a different greeting, of course!). This is made with the 'Noteably Ornate' stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2010-11 Idea Book & Catalog. I have included all of the materials below, but I am pulling a 'blank' on what set the 'Friend' ... View Post
Easter Blossoms Card
Can you believe that I didn't really like this set the first time I saw it? Well, I got over that! This simple geometrical layering and side tied bow make a faster card than you think. Cut a bunch of the layers and you can put together 10 of these pretty quickly! This set, Easter Blossoms, from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Mini Catalog is available through April 30th. Below are the ...

Good Cheer Paper Bag Gift Keeper
I'd say that this paper lunch bag never looked so good! I love the 'rustic' colors in the 'Deck the Halls' designer series paper and have used them in the color scheme of this easy 'paper bag' gift bag. I have included a short photo step-by-step of how this bag was made (click images for larger view): Cut the paper down to 5 3/4 inches high. Line the back of the paper bag with ... View Post
Day of Gratitude Thanksgiving Card
This lovely and simple Thanksgiving card is made from one of the many 'Day of Gratitude' stamp sets that have fallen in my lap this month. Not only is this a 'must have' limited edition set from the Holiday Mini Catalog, but I've been to two Stampin' Up! Regionals and that was the stamp set we got (hmmm... can you say 'door prize' set?). Easy combination of Autumn Spice Designer Series Paper ... View Post
Growing Green
I'm taking a moment out to bring you one more summer card (as fall quickly approaches...) The 'Growing Green' set is one of the new floral sets from Stampin' Up! this year. The clean, simple outline design makes it SUPER easy (and fun) to color, and in this case I used the Regal Rose, Wild Wasabi and Pacific Point watercolor crayons and an Aquapainter. The rose and the smaller flower were ... View Post
