Loads of Love...

Such a cute set that can be used for so may occasions, especially with the Loads of Love Accessories and Loads of Love stamp sets that go with it! This set has been around for many years but it is still a classic!

This card was made with the Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories in the colours of Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait. I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder for the background.

If there is anything you need/want please be sure to get your orders in to me by tomorrow. This will be my last order before the end of August as I am taking a few weeks off. Of course Online Shopping through my Stampin Up Website will still be available.

Birthday Bakery

"If you are what you eat, eat something cute"

The Level 1 Hostess sets in the new catalogue are FABULOUS! I love them all this time but this one is especially fun. I love the quote that comes with it and colouring the cakes are lots of fun (if you love colouring like I do! If you don't you'd find it annoying!) Joining one of my stampin clubs (details in my July 11th blog post) or hosting a workshop is a great way to earn this set FREE!

I coloured the main image with Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Melon Mambo Stampin Write Markers. I used the Perfect Polka Dot folder and the Scallop Edge Punch. I attched a tiny Basic Pearl jewels (LOVE THESE!) on each scallop to finish it off.

Cottage Garden...two ways.

Sometimes when I am making a card for a workshop or a class I start out by making one card (to the left) and end up with card #2.


The first card just seemed like it needed more so after playing around I added a strip of Designer Paper (in Pear Pizzazz from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack Stack, In Color) and layered it onto a strip of white cardstock that had been punched with the Scallop border punch. I also added another white layer to the main image. Both cards were nice and depending on how "clean" you like your cards you may like #1 more but I ended up going with card #2 for my workshop.

These cards were made with Pear Pizzazz. Concord Crush and Whisper White Colours. The stamp set used is Cottage Garden. I embellished the card with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, White brads (from the Neutral Brad Collection) and the super fabulous Basic Rhinestoes (page 188)

All A Flutter....

It's been a few days since I posted on my blog but I have been so busy stamping and making new cards with the new colours and stamp sets that I just haven't had a chance to do much else.

This is a card I made using the All A Flutter stamp ($8.95 in the Summer Mini) and the "Because I Care" sentiment from the Because I Care hostess set. I absolutely love butterflies, and this one is fun if you love to colour. And for all of you who have already signed up for my All A Flutter card class at the end of August...this is NOT one of the cards you have to do. It's a bit time consuming with all the colouring, cutting, piercing and hand stitching. As pretty as it is I know most of you don't enjoy making the "card that never ends". The colours I used on this card were Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Tangerine Tango and Very Vanilla.

My next order is going in on Monday July 26th. If there is anything you want please get your order and payment to me before then!

Favourite Thoughts

I love the Favourite Thoughts stamp set (Only available until the end of August!) in the Summer Mini, the saying are super fun for "Just Because" card. For this card I paired it up with the super cute Level 2 Hostess set in the Summer Mini. The nice bright colours (Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery colours) give the card a nice summer feel. I did this card in my June Stampers Club but decided to just post it on my regular blog.

My "Over the Rainbow" Monday class is now FULL but there are still a few spaces left in the Saturday (the 24th) class.

Upsy Daisy

The super cute Upsy Daisy stamp set always makes a quick and easy card but what I love most about this card is the colours Poppy Parade and Tangerine Tango together! It makes the card so bright and cheerful.

For the main image I used markers to colour it so I could get both colours on the flower image. I fancied up this card with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and Gold Brads.

If you couldn't make it to my new Catalogue Extravaganza last weekend and want a catalogue be sure to let me know so I can drop one off to you the next time I am in your neighborhood. Also I still have a box of used stamp sets etc left so feel free to drop by (call first) if you want to take a look at them.

Razzle Dazzle...

Here is a super quick card I made using the Razzle Dazzle and From the Heart (Friend) stamp sets with the fabulouse new In colour Concord Crush. In colours use to be only around for 1 year and then they were gone but now they will be around for 2 years and I am completely thrilled about it. This card was finished off with the fabulous butterflies from the Beautiful Wings embosslit as well as the super cute Scallop Trim border punch.
