The Paper Players Design Team Call

I love the Paper Players Challenge Blog because they use all Stampin Up products! Since I'm a SU demonstrator it's great to get ideas and use my supplies. I love to see all the beautiful cards using their challenges. So, I decided to try out for their Design Team, why not? :) I love Stampin Up and being creative and I think it will motivate me to create more cards and blog more! It sounds very exciting!

Wish me luck!

Mojo Monday Using Stampin Up Summer Mini

Hi Everyone!
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
I was pretty happy about Stampin Up's new Summer Mini as there are a couple of cute stamp sets that I love and they are versatile! I love them all but particularly The Open Sea on page 9 and Fabulous Florets on page 22-23. And check out those gorgeous matching design papers on page 8 and 23! I can also see a nice 4th of July card using those blues and reds from the Nautical Expedition DSP.

Today I'm sharing a card with you that I created for the wonderful challenge over at Mojo Monday. Here is the sketch:

I used a layering of my stamp technique by stamping the flower 3 times. Then I cut away some of the petals on each one. I used dimensionals to stick them all together and it gets a cute 3-D layered effect.
I love this stamp set and DSP, it's such bright, happy colors! Here is my card...


Also, I'm getting married in only 23 more days!! I'm so excited. I also have some GREAT news, which I can't share with everyone yet, but I will SOON.

Have a lovely day!

Cheers to You - Stampin Up Card

Just a quick card I wanted to share with you today. I made this using the Cheers to You stamp set by Stampin Up. I love these colors together, Basic Black, More Mustard and Whisper White. They go together so well!
I used the texture plate Harlequin by SU on the more mustard for the background. Then I stamped the beer mugs, plus stamped, colored and cut out 2 more and popped them up with dimensionals. I added some dazzling diamonds on the foam to top it off! A little of the 1/8" taffeta ribbon adds a little somethin on the card too.


Hope you have a great Thursday! I'll be back soon to post some cards I'm making with some new items from the Stampin Up Summer Mini Catalog!! Hope you can visit again soon!

So Shelli April Showers Challenge and something else...

The good news (yes I do usually look on the bright side!)is that I made a card today. I can't get enough of the Springtime Vintage paper. Just love the colors. I made this card for the April's challenge on Shelli Gardner's blog So Shelli. It's kind of a simple spring card, nothing special like some of the amazing projects linked on Shelli's blog. There are some very talented women out there!

Punch Bunny Easter Card

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share a video I made with you on how to make a super cute punch bunny Easter card. I used this tutorial HERE on You Tube for the bunny. Then I sponged the cloud background, added some grass and my own Easter eggs. I made the eggs using the 1-3/8" x 5/8" oval punch. Check out my video to see how to make them.

Please leave me a comment to let me know how you like it. Sorry the camera was moving around a lot (I know I need a tripod!!)
It's stormy here, I'm blessed to be indoors warm and able to enjoy this wonderful hobby. Hope you have a great day wherever you may be.
