Did you think I fell off the face of the earth? Well, I have been sooooo busy stamping lately I can't even tell you. But the good news is, I have gotten a lot stampes. Most of which I can't show you until after convention but, I have been preparing for some classes and doing these baby shower invitations for my cousin who is expecting in September or October. I made 40 of the above card with stamped envies for Jessica (Hiya Jess)

This picture does not do this card justice, but tell me what you think

It's A Party

"It's a Party" Kit

Let's have a party! Why purchase party supplies over and over again when you can recreate these great party decorations with your stamping inventory?

This class is designed to demonstrate a few ways you can create complementing cards and 3-D projects for many occasions using coordinating products from Stampin’ Up! You will be able to use these instructions to recreate versatile projects in many themes and color palettes. Birthday parties, summer BBQ’s, wedding and baby showers and celebrations of many kinds are just waiting for your creative touch.

Why wait for a party? Create the star box, matching card and a few of the treats and give as a gift to teachers, co-workers or friends. What a thoughtful (and easy) gift. Make several to have on hand.

One of the great things about the Stampin’ Up! is the great way they plan coordinating products with broad appeal. The Star punches coordinate nicely with everything from baby to western to all occasion stamps…talk about versatile!

The Star Punches are a great tool for card-makers and scrapbookers alike. The stars make great layers and they work well for kids (boys and girls), sports, birthdays, graduations, showers and many more occasions!

Who says "gotta have a Hallmark"?

I know I haven't posted many cards lately and I'm sorry...I have been stamping though and have come up with some cards but.....

They are my convention swaps so I can't show you yet. I did get some personal ones done as well and here is one of them.




I stamped this card for my May Stampers 10 swap that my upline Nancy has. here is the recipe

Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Ink: Night of Navy, River Rock
Paper: River Rock, Night Of Navy, Ginger Blossoms DSP
Accessories: Paper Crimper, Paper Piercer, Corner Rounder

I really like how it turned out even though it looks sloppy in the uploaded picture, it looks very crisp and clean IRL.

AWESOME Cardstock/Ribbon Cutting Calculator

I would like to thank Julie (justjulier on SCS) for making up this very cool Dynamic Cutting Tool Excel Spreadsheet Click on the very first post and there is an attachment.

This handy little calculator lets you enter in the size of the layers of your cardstock and it will tell you how many you can fit on one sheet. You can also tell the spreadsheet how many projects you want to make and it will tell you how many sheets of cardstock you need, as well. This is awesome for when you're making a ton of cards or projects!

Thanks Julie!

You put da Lime in da coconut....

I made this card as part of the gift box I am making for Bethany's teachers. I will post the rest of the box and cards a little later. I used SU!'s Tart & Tangy Set that is in the Occasions mini catalog. It is such a fun set especially when it is matched with the Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper!

I want to first start by saying that I saw the layout and even the color combo on another blog (I'm sorry I can't remember the name but if you email me, I will be more than happy to link your blog and give you credit).

For this card on For this card I started with a Whisper White base and topped with a layer of Old Olive. I stamped the wording in WW craft ink and added the silver brads using the paper piercing tool (great for getting the spacing right) for the lime image, I did a OSW (one sheet wonder) because I was also using it as a swap card for my stampers 10 group. I love the clean "refreshing" look to this card. It could be flowers, or it could be limes....hmmmmm.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

InKredible Swap Box Information

I registered for the Stampin' Up! Convention last week and am soooo excited! It is SU! 20th Anniversary and it should be a BLAST! Which leads me into the realization that if I'm going to convention, I am certainly going to need to have something to get all of my swaps there in one piece.

In March at our Stamp Share, this swap box was introduced. We got to try it and look at it up close and personal. Please read more about it HERE

I know I am going to order one!!! It comes with a sleeve to keep it from spilling your swaps all over the place and can hold 300+ swaps.
