Good Saturday Everyone,
Well, I think the cold is finally coming and staying. We (Wisconsinites) have been blessed with a nice Indian Summer. Now, I think that is over and winter is here. High's only in the 30's. Anyways, here are a few cards I have been working on. I saw this gift card holder design on splitcoast this morning and had to try it out. the website was wildsprinkles.blogspot.com. What a great site. I used the ski slope dp and punch pals set. . The second card is another 4 1/4 by 4 1/4. I just love this size. I used the holiday treasures dp, 5 petal punch and felt fusion 2. Enjoy

I have been working on my cards for my monthly stamp club.  My goal was to use the big shot and the felt flurries. The felt flurries are a lot of fun to play with.  The second card uses the Christmas treasures dp.  I hope you like.  

Here is my final post of the day.  This set just screams "use a brayer" I have been seeing this all over and just had to try it.    I brayered mustard, then pumpkin and finally I sponged the edges with ruby red.

I used:

CS:  chocolate, olive and white.

SET:  Inspired by Nature

INK:  mustard, chocolate, pumpkin and ruby red.  

Here is another card I have been working on. I just love all the fall colors SU has.  They coordinate so well together.   I used:

SET:  Give Thanks (retired)

CS: chocolate, rust, haiku dp

ACCESSORIES:  choc. grosgrain, word window punch, aqua painter

Good Day Stamper Friends, 

It seems ages since I have posted and I feel badly.  I signed up to do my very first craft fair and was sooooo consumed by it. I am happy to say it is over, so hopefully I will get going on the posts.  Here is a card I recently did. I must say I get this idea visiting various blogs. I did change a few things, but cannot take credit for the whole thing.  I am loving this set.  I used:

CS:  chocolate, rust and Haiku dp

INK:  chocolate

SET:  Upsy Daisy

ACCESSORIES:  mat pack, paper pierces, vintage brads, retired olive twill ribbon and sponge.

Thanks for looking

Hello Stamper Friends,

Hope all is well with everyone.  We had a great long weekend in 

Carlsbad, CA at my nieces wedding.  I have been working on  getting some more ideas for my upcoming club and camp.  As you can tell I am just LOVING the new designer papers.  They just add so much. 

The Lion card uses the sets Wild About You and the Best Yet hostess set. I really like the sayings, they fit in so many of our punches.  The cardstock is choc. chip and Bella Rose dp.  I used the kiwi kiss/vanilla satin ribbon.  I used the white gel pen to put dots around the scallop punch.

The next 2 cards  I tried the splitcoast challenge sc188.  I is so much easlier than it looks.  IF you want to learn how come to my next stamp camp or schedule a party with me to learn this technique and so much more. The kiwi/choc. chop card uses the Hawaii Papaya dp and choc. chip with the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set.  The kiwi/riding hood red card uses Eastern Blooms stamp set.  Enjoy 

I received my order with some of the new SU "stuff" today.  I couldn't wait to get up to my stamp room and"play"  I love my new designer papers.  In the cards featured today I used the Green Tea DP and  Hawaii Papaya.  I just  LOVE the color combo of the Hawaii Papaya ( choc. chip, tangerine tango and kiwi)  They just POP.  I also used one of my new sets "Eastern Blooms" what a pretty set, I can tell I will be using it often.  Enjoy the ideas.  I will be gone Wed. night until Monday. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend and be safe. 

The Bella Rose designer paper(new from SU) is sooo pretty.  This is a card I did at my customer appreciation night.  It is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 size card featuring the bella rose dp, 5 petal punch, vintage brads, white grosgrain ribbon and new SU buttons.   It is a bit blurry, sorry. Enjoy

I was checking out the many wonderful blogs out in "blogland" and came across this really neat idea by Andrea Walford, so I had to try it right away myself.  It is a "purse" that holds about 5-7 cards w/envelopes.  You can use designer paper or regular cardstock.  The one I made with olive green and chocolate chip I did modify the dimensions a bit (I used an 8 1/2 x 11 piece cut in half).  What  a neat idea, thanks for the inspiration Andrea.  

NEW!!!! Stampin' Up! and Sizzix Partnership.
Stampin' Up! is so happy to announce their new BIG SHOT product. Click here to learn more about this awesome new die cut machine.

I just love celery and chocolate papers together. It is hard to tell but I used crystal effects to on the flowers.

This card features the chalkboard technique. All the cards I have seen using this technique are soooo cool. Want to find out how to do this technique join my stamp club or host a party and I will share how to create this neat look with you.

This card features 2 new "In colors" tangerine tango and pacific point. I also used the grid technique to create this card.

This last card features baja breeze and riding hood new colors along with chocolate chip cardstock. I also used the grid technique on this card. Enjoy

I received my "box o'goodies" from SU today. It had all the new "In colors" and the awesome new scallop edge punch. I used the new punch on the card below. This card uses 3 new colors: riding hood (red), kiwi kiss (green) and pink pirouette. The pink features the new scallop edge punch.It also uses some new designer paper called Bella Rose.

Here is a little sneak peak of one of the items for my upcoming stamp camp (July 24th). It is a set of 3 3x3 cards and then the attendees will make a super cute and super easy box to put them in. It is a great gift idea. This sample shows kid cards but you could easily adapt it for anyone. Enjoy.

It is a bit difficult to see that I used the grid technique on this card, but I did, and I really like it.  It is an easy technique but I can see why people like those scor pal's.  I may have to check one of those out.  I used Blue bayou, choc. chip, western sky and ww paper.  I accented with vintage brads.  Enjoy
