Spring Fling, Take Out!

Take me Out to Spring Fling, take me out to stamp all day ...  well, sing it any way you want!!

We love to offer a vareity of projects that showcase our wonderful Stampin' Up! products!  So we create a wide display of projects from the products that we provide in their Goodie Bags! Showing versatility and using the items in a different way or in other combinations can make our products even more versatile.  We hope our guests not only enjoy the day but learn a new little somethin somethin too!!

Take Out Box & Celebrate Big Day Tag

Close up of the Tag

This was one of our favorite projects to make, because our inspiration came from the one and only Shelli Gardner, cofounder of Stampin' Up!!!!!  Diana received a beautiful gift box and we designed our own version to share at Spring Fling (completely different in every way other than the layout) with our guests.

Take Out Box, SAB Celebrate Big Day, Artisan Kit, Pink Pirouette Blendabilities, White Jute Ribbon, Soft Sky Seam Binding, Framelits, Embossing Folders and more!

Have a great day!

Can't Thank You Enough (for being in club!)

Happy Friday Everyone!

To finish off the week, here is the third card that they made at Club on Monday this week!  I just love this paper pack, how many times have I said that this week!  O M G ... I bet you are either inspired to use yours or you are hoping I move on to a new stack soon (yep, there's a new one waiting to be cracked open!!).

This was a CASE basically too other than the picture that I found online has no watermark on it, and it was awhile ago so I have no idea who to thank!  If it's yours, let me know.  I changed the paper to the Coastal Cabana prints and changed the colors and ribbons, but the card was so cute and again, my club gals loved the simplicity of it!!  It is very easy for them to duplicate at home too!

And last month and this month, I simplified from doing 4 projects back to only 3 (which is what I had originally started with) but I have added the Envelope Liners and they are all commenting that they are SO HAPPY because they want quick, cute and easy!  And I have to say that I am so tickled at how nice it is to have a pretty inside to the envelope!  It just says HELLO, I'm cute! 
Do you have the Envelope Liner Framelits yet?  Would you like a set of them?  Let me know, they are addicting and come in 3 sizes, and you can cut multiple sheets at once too!  Oh and you can make other fun little things with them too!  I have another little thing I can show you, just need to find it, take photos and upload them, maybe tomorrow!

ORDER HERE

 

Thanks!  Hope you have a great weekend!!

One for the Dads

Hi!

Just to even out the love, here's the card that I have had ready since forever (joined a masculine card swap some time ago) for my Father's Day cards!  Yes they are sitting here waiting to be mailed and I honestly think I should just mail them now with a stamp that says "Do Not Open Until ..."   that way they have them when the day finally rolls around!  Lord knows that they will be sitting here on Father's Day if I don't!!  But I will challenge myself to mail them the week before!  Someone remind me! ;)

This card features one of my favorite color combinations! 

Inks & Paper:
Bermuda Bay & Basic Black & Smokey Slate

Stamps:
Delightful Dozen
Simply Stars
Gorgeous Grunge

Accessories:
Island Indigo bakers twine
Black Chevron ribbon
Metal buttons

Chalk Talk Framelits
Scallop Tag Topper Punch (for the black layer behind the greeting)



Just a little update on Rachel after the car accident, her muscle soreness and everything started to really kick in the 24-72 hours after and continued to get worse all week.  We went to her primary care doctor right away, the day after and we were able to get in on Mon with a Chiropractor that treats athletes.  She is pretty much messed up from her neck to her ankles!  So much that you cannot see physically, so we are headed for Xrays and then back to have them read, with a plan for treatment.  Even with this, she is blessed to be walking and upright and normal, just need to straighten out all of the kinked up spots!

Happy Stamping, see you again soon!

Valentine's Swaps!

Hi!

Well I spent some time setting up my light box and tried to take several pictures today and edit and watermark them ... so they will be ready to share!  Hopefully the picture quality will be better!  :)

Also, even though I have placed my watermark on these, it does not mean that I stamped them.  These will be the swap cards that the demonstrators on my team stamped and swapped at my meeting in December.  If you see something that looks like yours, then please consider it a compliment that someone enjoyed your card enough to want to make it themselves and share it.  If it is yours, please send me an email or note and I can add your name for credit as well. 

So to share the love, here we go with swaps from Marjori and Marlene!

Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by & see you again tomorrow I hope!

16th Annual Holiday Exchange!

Hello there!

Each year, this year making it the 16th, I have hosted my December Team Meeting as a Holiday Dinner Out!  In the earlier years we always met at my house every month for our meetings so it was our once a year outing!  We are all busy and it is a nice way to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and a fun social night, where we still share stamping but in a non traditional meeting kind of way. We've always had an optional Secret Stamper Exchange as a part of our evening.  The exchange has varied over the years but in the end it's still always about sharing our stamping with one another.  I keep it easy so that everyone that wants to participate can.  We create 3 hand stamped cards & envelopes with only current SU! products and package them up cute, everyone that brings one goes home with one, and we do the White Elephant type of stealing to make it fun too.

I wanted to share the cards that I made for my Secret Stamper Exchange gift. 

Here is the 1st of my 3 cards:

It features the following products:

Monstermaniacs Stamp Set
In Color 2013-15 DSP Stack
