Summer Afternoon – Petite Purse

 Hi Stampin' Friends It's a beautiful weekend in Northwest Arkansas.  I hope you are having pleasant weather. It's been such a nice spring this year. Well, I finally finished the petite purse – not that it was that hard to make but I had to redo it a couple of times because I kept making dumb mistakes.  The ladies will be making the purse at Jane's private class on Monday… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Summer Afternoon

Hi Stampin' Friends I was a bad girl and gone for most of the day so I didn't get a chance to finish up the petite purse 3D project.  I do have a card to show you that the ladies will be making at the Big Shot Class on Friday, 25 May 2012.  I again used the Comfort Cafe DSP (love, love it!!!) and the Hostess Stamp Set called Summer… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Layered Labels and Comfort Cafe DSP

Hi Stampin' Friends I am so excited to be able to show you some gorgeous new designer series paper called Comfort Cafe.  It is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of my grandmother! I am also working on 3D project (Petite Purse Bigz L Die) that goes with the card, but I didn't finish it in time for today's post.  I'll have it ready for tomorrow's post. The sentiment is layered… Read More »

Adios Faith in Nature

Hi Stampin' Friends! It's time to say goodbye to the  Faith in Nature Stamp Set.  I've always liked this stamp set because of its simplicity.  I decided to make two cards using two of images in the set.  I used the pear in one coloring it with the So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker for the pear and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker for the leaves. I also used the Framed… Read More »

Layered Labels

Hi Stampin' Friends I am so excited to give you a sneak peek at one of the new stamp sets from the 2012/2012 Catalog!  It's called Layered Labels.  And no I did not have to cut it out because there is a corresponding package of dies called Framelits, Apothecary Accents.    The dies in this group were designed to cut images from World Treasures (another new stamp set) and the… Read More »

Adios Simply Soft

Hi Stampin' Friends! The Simply Soft Stamp Set  was used for today's post.   It's retiring on 31 May 2012 so if you like it, you'll have to place a qualifying order for it – you cannot purchase it because it's a hostess stamp set.  It's one of my favorie sets and I will be sorry to see it go. The lovely Simply Soft Stampin' Rewards exclusive stamp set is ideal for… Read More »

Adios Tote-Ally Tess and Domestic Diva!

Adios Wisteria Wonder and Berry Blossoms DSP

Hi Stampin' Friends I ended up looking at the new catalog this morning.  This old lady could not stay awake for the unveiling at midnight (MT), besides, I heard it didn't really go online until about 2 am.  It's everything it promises to be and more!  Love the new layout and how they grouped tools/embellishments together such as Heat Tool, Versamark, Stampin' Buddy, Emboss Powder – they are all on… Read More »

Adios Flower Fancy

Hi Stampin' Friends I am so excited – tomorrow  or at 12 am (mountain time), the new catalog will be online!  Don't know whether I will stay up or get up extra early to see what's in the new catalog!  Based on the preorder items that are available for demonstrators to preorder, I will absolutely love it!  My order of new items should be in on Wednesday so I'll have new things… Read More »

Adios Beau Chateau!

Hi Stampin' Friends I love, love the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and decided to use it for today's card.  I'll miss it but I am sure that Stampin' Up! will have some equally gorgeous new DSP for us to drool over!  Even though the coordinated color, Marina Mist, was listed in the catalog, I decided to use Baja Breeze because it seem to match a lot better. The pearls… Read More »
