The New Catalog

On July 1st the new catalog will be available.  As a demonstrator, I have the opportunity to see a "sneek peek" of some of the new items.  I am also able to purchase the "Sneek Peek" items. 

Well, this morning I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to place my order!  It should be arriving by next Friday.  As soon as I get my order, I will make a few cards for you to see.  (We are not allowed to show the products, but we are allowed to show cards created using the new products.)  I will definitely be using the new In-Colors on my cards so you can see them!  Check back on Sunday, June 12th (or sooner) to see a couple cards that I created using the new products! 

Have a great week!

My Favorite Stamp Set is NOT Retiring!

I had to post these cards again to express my joy over the fact that Lovely as a Tree is not retiring!  I am soooo happy!


This card was created by my sister-in-law, Dawn.



Water Color Wonder Crayons were used to color the trees.



The trees were stamped on glossy paper, then stamped on Window Sheets and "smushed" onto the glossy paper.  The blue colors were applied with a sponge.







Heart Boxes

My older brother recently got married, and my mother and I made these cute little heart boxes as favors for the rehearsal dinner.  I have to give credit to Kay Sha who designed the boxes.  The two main tools used to create the boxes were the Full Heart Punch and the Scalloped Heart Of Hearts Stampin' Up! Embosslits Die.

Customer Appreciation

Recently, several customers spent a fun night stamping at my mom's house.  Below are the three cards they made.

Thank you Mary Fish for sharing your cards!  This is a modified CASE of a card created by Mary Fish.







3x3 Note Cards and an XL Fancy Favor Box

I have been having a lot of fun making note cards and gifts for friends using 12x12 card stock, the XL Fancy Favor Sizzix die, and mini square envelopes.  You can easily fit ten note cards and envelopes in the box.  If you cut the 12x12 card stock in half, then cut 3"x6" pieces, you can get eight cards out of one piece of paper!
