So many birthdays!

So many friends with birthdays, so little time to make the cards!  Hope you enjoy these!  The last one will be my birthday card from the office since I make all the cards we give out to co-workers on their special day.

Homework

At our July meeting, my upline gave us some homework.  We received some new product & have to create.  Oh the pressure!  Came up with this last night since I know I have a lot of thank yous to get out in the mail one of these days.  Hope you like it!

Paper: Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder
Stamps: delicate doilies, pennant parade
Other: circle punches, wisteria wonder ribbon, dimensionals

Happy birthday mom!

Today is my mom's birthday and I CASEd this card idea from Michael Funke's blog Stampin-Style.  See his creations here.

Lovely as a tree

I have been stamping for over 4 years now and always avoided the tree stamp sets.  I don't know what I was thinking!  Recently I purchased the Lovely as a Tree set.  Let me tell you this may be the best decision I have made this quarter!  The stamps are beautiful and you don't really need to add more than the stamp to make the card stand out.  Of course, when you have more time, you can embellish a bit more.  For a quick card, I came up with this one.  Enjoy!

Enjoy the simple things

This year's Summer Mini has some wonderful sets & accessories!  Here is one card that I CASEd from the mini using the Touch of Kindness stamp set.  It was also the first time I used the circle scissors plus - this is one tool I need to learn as it makes things so my quicker!

Strength & Hope

Stampin' Up is donating $2 from the purchase of the Strength & Hope stamp set in the summer mini catalog to the Breast Cancer Research Fund.  If you would like to schedule a workshop, please contact me!

April promotion - a bit late

I was preparing to host a workshop in April to showcase the new four frames stamp set & designer paper that was the April promotion, but apparently I ran out of time.  Are you sure April has 30 days?  Seems like there were only 10 or so!  Learned how to use a brad on the ribbon on split coast stampers - quickly becoming a favorite technique!

Enjoy the card, the paper & stamp set will be available in the new catalog coming July 1st!
