I am Creative class banner

I went to the I am Creative class at the Stampin' Up! convention. We made this fabulous banner. Each banner uses a different technique that a concept artist at SU showed during the class. I can't wait to make some more banners for Fall, Christmas, etc!

Happy Stamping!

Convention 2012

The Stampin' Up! Convention is fantastic again this year! I can't wait to show you the things I am learning!!! One of the classes I took at Convention 2012 is "I am Doing Business My Way". Bonnie Thurber from the home office lead the discussion between two SU demonstrators (Tami White and Ronda Wade) about different types of events they hold. I can't wait to try some of their ideas out and make stamping even more fun than ever!
Happy Stamping!

Coming in July!

This card uses the Reason to Smile set (available only in July!!) and Curly Cute. The cs is Always Artichoke, River Rock, and Whisper White.

I got a new (used by Todd) printer and wanted to make sure I could scan. I thought a little preview of July would be a good thing to scan!

Happy Stamping!

New Catalog Workshop 2012

The leaf card (100% CASEed), above, and the Happy Birthday card, below, were both make-n-takes at the New Catalog Workshops on June 1st and 2nd.

I embossed the leaf on the card, above, using the new firm foam pad. It is so juicy that if you stamp and immediately put embossing powder on, it will stick! This card is 90% CASEed. :)


I went to the SU Regionals this past winter and this gift card holder was given to me as a swap. It is so easy to make! One piece of card stock is 5 7/8 x 4 1/4, scored at 2" and 5". The other is 3 7/8 x 4 1/4, scored at 3". The two pieces are attached with Sticky Strip where the shorter folds are. You can then decorate and slip a gift card in. It's a quick and easy way to fancy up a gift card!

Contact me if you are interested in getting a new SU catalog, or if you would like to have a party!

Happy Stamping!

 The Stampin' Up! Retirement Party is Thursday, May 10th at 6:30pm at my house.  It is a FREE workshop!  Please RSVP on or before May 9th.  I will demonstrate the cards above and below.  There will be a lot of fun retiring products used on both!

You will make this card (above) if you attend the Retirement Party on Thursday, May 10th!  You can use this ribbon (Artichoke Jean) or Marina Mist grosgrain.

You will also make this card (above) at the Retirement Party.  We'll use Craft Whisper White ink and Stampin' Pastels.


I hope you can make it on Thursday for some stamping fun with retiring products!

Happy Stamping!
