I made this card for today's New Catalog Party. I love the new color Melon Mambo. The designer paper is Razzleberry Lemonade. The stamp set is Asian Artistry, Level 2 Hostess Stamp Set. As demonstrators, we were able to order it during the preorder period (June 2009). Isn't it a beautiful stamp? When I ordered it, I inadvertently order the spanish version and now I can't use the sentiment! But… Read More »
This is it! My last card of the 2009 Spring Summer Idea Book & Catalog. This stamp is also retiring along with the DSP which is Sweet Slumber Specialty. I've announced the winner of my blog candy in the previous post. It's Jessica Kerr so if you know her, let her know. Also, I have some more blog candy (see top of page) to celebrate that my site has been viewed 5,000 in… Read More »
A couple of you have asked me why I wasn't showing cards with the new "stuff" from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. I wanted to showcase all the wonderful stamp sets that are retiring this month and I knew I wouldn't be using them after 30 June 2009. I will be showing cards featuring the new stamp sets and the gorgeous new in-colors beginning on 1 July 2009. I… Read More »
Today's post includes the stamp set Friends 24/7. It's one of my favorite stamp sets but until today, I had not used the medallion stamp from the set. I inked up the stamp with Bordering Blue and then careful rolled the edges in Not Quite Navy. The technique is called Rock n Roll. The sentiment is computer generated. The designer series paper is Bella Bleu. I am so glad this… Read More »
Today's post includes another of my favorite stamp sets that is retiring – Stitched Exotics. I also used the Sweet Always Designer Series Paper which is also retiring as of 30 June 2009. Today's post is short – I had a class or rather two classes today and I'm pooped. I just hope my customers enjoyed the classes as much as I did! Thanks for visiting To purchase any of… Read More »
It's like a I just discovered this stamp set! I used it a lot when it first came out and then I somehow put it away and forgot about it. I've used it several times recently when I discovered it was in the "Last Chance" List. It does make the prettiest petals. The designer paper is Sweet Slumber Designer Specialty Series Paper which is also retiring at the end of… Read More »
No, I don't think that but I wanted to catch your attention! I did didn't I??? I made these small gifts for my grandchildren's teachers. David is in the 4th grade going into the 5th grade and Felicia is in the 3rd grade going into the 4th grade. They attend year-round school so they get out later in the month than most schools. The 19th is their last day. I… Read More »
Today's card uses the lovely Soft Summer Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. In checking my stash of cards, I found out that I've used this stamp set at least 20 times! I knew I loved this set, but I didn't realize I had used it that many times! I decided to use the Taste of Textiles with Elegant Eggplant which had been embossed with the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Textures… Read More »
Another of my favorite DSP that is retiring - although I did peeked at the new DSP in the new catalog and they are gorgeous! I am definitely going to offer the 6 x 6 swap DSP on 1 July 2009 though it won't include 20 packages of DSP. I'll do maybe ten packages of DSP because the paper is to die for! I used Chocolate Chip as the base card:… Read More »
It's time to say good by to an old and a new friend. Today's card includes Doodle This and Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper – both will retire on 30 June 2009. I've had Doodle This since 2007 and I just recently purchased the Raspberry Tart DSP. This paper is gorgeous and I don't know why I waited so long to buy it. I haven't participated in a SCS challenge in… Read More »
