March Stamp Club Samples

Yeah, I found my camera. Then I went on vacation so that is why the big delay in posting. Yikes, it's been awhile. Here are the three cards we did this month.
This card is done with the Sale-a-Bration set Polka Dot Punches, Coordinating Designer Paper and new Full Heart Punch. The heart has Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on it and a half pearl at the top.

This next card uses one of my favorite new packs of paper- Bella Birds. I matched it up with the cute new Fleurettes, Pretties Kit beads and Hat Pin, Eyelet Border Punch, and new Organza Ribbon. I loved how these products coordinated.

The last card we did is a masculine card. I find that more of my customers struggle with these types of cards than any other. I am so thankful to have a new set that is so obviously easy to use for masculine cards- Totally Tools, Woo Hoo!! I got the layout and inspiration for this card off of Splitcoast.


I have to spots currently open for my stamp clubs. If you are in the area an interested in joining, email me ASAP. We meet every other month with the next meeting in April.

February Stamp Club Samples

My two new stamp clubs met last night. Hello Chocolate Chip and Pretty In Pink Girls! Here are the three projects that we made.

This card is done almost completely with Sale-a-Bration items. The stamp set used is Polka Dot Punches from SAB, the Designer Paper is Delicate Dots from SAB and the Ribbon is So Saffron Grosgrain from the SAB Ribbon Bundle. The card base is Certainly Celery with one edge being punched with the new Eyelet Border Punch. All the images were punches using various SU punches. The flower eyelet is from the new Asst. Flower Brad Asst.



This card is done in the new Retro Fresh Style. The set used is Cheep Talk. We also used the coordinating Good Morning Sunshine Designer Paper, Pacific Point/Chocolate Chip/Kiwi Kiss/Pumpkin Pie cardstocks and Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon. The pumpkin border around the edge of the branch image is distressed. This was a super simple fun card.


Lastly we made these card carriers. I found the design on SCS and followed a tutorial online done by Julie Buhler. It's fabulous and so cute. I will definitely be making more of these. The supplies we used on this one are Rose Red and Kiwi Kiss Cardstocks & Inks, Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon, Raspberry Tart Designer Paper, Pretties Kit, Scallop Punch, Aquapainters, Tool Kit, Word Window & Corner Rounder Punches, Silver Brads and lots of Sticky Tape. The "For You" image comes from the One of a Kind Set.

Happy Valentines

I know I am Here are the Valentines I made for my oldest daughter. They are sucker covers and each one has a Tootsie Pop inside. I bought these sets a long time ago, probably pre-kids. They have long since retired, but I held onto them just in case someday I had kids. I had grand plans to make the Valentines for all three kids, but 60 turned into too many. So Allison gets to take these and the twins got to take store bought ones..... I know.... gasp. Anyway, I kept these simple The backs had a Happy Valentine's Greeting an space for the To/From as all kids Valentines had. I am glad I saved these sets. I will be using them again someday.



Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!

January Open House Samples

Thanks to all that attended my New Catalog Open House last month. It was a lot of fun. Many of you have asked about my retiring set sale. I did sell many but still have well over 100 sets to sell. My husband is in the process of taking pictures of them all. Once we get them processed I will post them for sale online.

Here are the two make and takes that I had at the Open House.

This first one uses Delicate Dots Designer Paper and Botanical Blooms stamp set. These two are items are part of the Sale-a-Bration Promotion. Order $50 worth of product and choose a SAB item free. In addition we used the new Eyelet Border Punch.



This next sample uses my new favorite set- Trendy Trees. Love that set. This is a super simple card with my standby favorite colors Pink Pirouette & Chocolate Chip, plus a hint of Kiwi Kiss.



See you soon with my kids Valentines and Upcoming February Stamp Club Samples.

January Stamp Club Samples

I finally found my camera cord so I can post these pics. Speaking of pictures, hopefully I am getting better pictures for you than before. I got a little travel photo studio for Christmas. I love it, however I am still learning how to use it. I need to iron the backdrop at the bare minimum. Anyway, hopefully you will be able to see the projects a little better this year.

This first card is another card done with the Love You Much Promotional products. I LOVE THESE, can you tell :) The card is a matchbook card. The top tucks under the scallop.



This next card is a total copy (other than the brad I chose) of one done by JanTink on SCS. I was going to use the card for inspiration, but I loved it so much I just copied. I like the unique colors used with the NEW Petal Pizazz set. This is a great card that could be used year round. **Did you notice the yellow flower is punched with the Scallop Circle Punch. Gotta love it when the punches coordinate and can do the work for me.


Love Potion

I purchased a whole bunch of test tubes in a bulk buy recently. They were a little smaller than I had wanted, but they still work and are cute. I altered a pattern done by Lisa Somerville to fit the tubes I had. I created my own recipe of a "Love Potion". 1 Part Sweetheart, 1 Part Chocolate, 1 Part Licorice and Red Hots to Taste. This was the these for my packaging. I printed the tags and punched them all out.

I wrapped the box with the NEW Raspberry Tart paper. This paper has grown on me. When it came it was brighter than I had expected, and I am not a "brights" type of person. However, now that I am playing with it, I really like it, especially the patterns. I also used the Sticky Heart and Glitter for a little pizazz and glam. I think it turned out really cute.



Here is a view of the test tubes out of the box.



Here is a top view of the box.
