Thank You

Hey there!

One of my favorite kind of cards to make are Thank You cards. I love sending them out to let people know that I am grateful for them. For that reason, I make lots of them. This is a card that I had floating around in my head for a while. I accidentally stumbled upon the color combo when I had a few scraps thrown together in a pile. Sometimes that is the best way to discover new color combos. :) The colors I used are Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze and Early Espresso. I knew that I wanted to use the Vintage Vogue stamp set with this color combo. Of course I *had* to use my new crocheted ribbon... LOVE IT!!! I really love how this card turned out. I am still so excited about the new color renovation. Stampin' Up! has so many great new colors to choose from! :) Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Quilted Happy Birthday

Hey there!

Wow! Summer sure has kept me busy!! I have really been missing my stamping time. Especially with the new catalog out, and all of the new colors, and ribbons, and stamp sets.... I really just want to sit for days and stamp!.. but I can't. I did manage to free up an hour today to make a card I had floating around in my head. I was inspired by a quilt that we have in our extra bed room. I thought the new Dotted Scallp Ribbon Border punch looked like lace, so I sponged the edges and crumbled it up to give it a vintage feel. I used three new colors on this one, two In Colors... Poppy Parade, and Peach Parfait, and I also used the new Daffodil Delight.. which I totally love!!! I thought it was missing some 'real' ribbon, so I threw in some Pear Pizzaz ribbon. I am in LOVE with the new In Color ribbon!!! ... so soft. I hope you enjoy checking out my latest card. The colors are a little bit wild for me, but it's all about color this year, so I figured, why not! Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You

Hey there!

I've got a new card for you today. I CASEd this cute little card from the Stampin' Success (pg 14 for the demos out there). I have been playing around with a bunch of new color combos with all of the new colors coming out. I am loving them so much! I can't wait for the release of the new catalog on JULY 1st! The butterflies are certainly celery, marina mist and cherry cobbler. I really love the deep red of cherry cobler. I have to admit.... ever since I got my pre order paper of early espresso.. I haven't even touched Chocolate Chip! Never thought that would ever happen! Now I just need to stock up on a new stash of ribbons in all of the new colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

Because I Care - Thank You

Hi there!

Elegant Eggplant has been taking over my thoughts lately. I am not sure that I have ever used that color, but for some reason I am in love with it now! Maybe because it is sort of a vintagey purple. And we all know that vintage is IN! This set is a *new* hostess set called Because I care. It is a very beautiful and elegant stamp set. Now, let me tell you how YOU can earn this set for FREE! First invite all of your friends to your house for a fun Stampin' Up! workshop! Then I will come with supplies in hand and teach you and your friends how to make some beautiful cards. In order for you to earn a free set like Because I care, you and your friends needs to place an order totaling $150.. and YOU, the hostess, gets to choose from 6 sets to have for FREE!
