Easter Bunny Card
At my Spring Cards Stamp Camp, we created an Easter Bunny card using the Layering Ovals Framelits, the Polka Dot Basics embossing folder, and a few other punches (3/4″ for nose, Cookie Cutter Builder for the eyes, and Holly Berry Builder for the bow). Color combination is Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, and Whisper White. Stamp set used was Teeny Tiny Wishes for the Easter saying. Add a gem and the journaling marker for whispers, pop up with dimensionals, and you have my bunny!

My son, Mike, is celebrating his 21st birthday today. At a recent stamp camp, I shared this card with my stampers.
My stampers really loved the fun card and the Bermuda Bay/Crumb Cake/Chocolate Chip color combination. Our new Bubble Over stamp set is in the Occasions mini catalog. You can create beer bottles or soda bottles in two different sizes and use framelits so you don’t need to fussy cut!
There is coordinating Designer Series Paper you can get for free during Sale-A-Bration! Just spend $50 to get your free pack!
Happy birthday, Mike! Can’t wait to share a cold one with you!
Heartfelt Blooms Triple Layer Card
Yes, it has been a while. I’ve been creating a bit more, but getting to photograph the creations and write my blog is still difficult.
This card was created in two different colors – Fresh Fig and Berry Burst. This is the Fresh Fig rendition. Very simple card using the triple layer technique. I love this new Sale-A-Bration stamp set – just twisting the stamp can make it look like you are using three different stamps.
The coordinating ribbon and large gems complete the look. So many occasions to use this card – use a phrase from the stamp set or find another one in your collection!

Hawaiian Couple Punch Card for Joe
Tragedy struck our home last month when my youngest son took his life. Yes, those are probably the worst words to have to type (and I am sure they are not easy to read).
Although healing has begun, getting back into “business mode” feels almost paralyzing. All my family, friends, customers, and peers are supporting me and telling me to take all the time I need to get back. I’m taking little steps, but the first of the month is always crucial for delivering news, specials, and my monthly fun holiday listings.
The night our Joe took his life I hosted my Summer Fun Punch Class. My sweet, funny boy was known for wearing Hawaiian-style shirts at school. So as a tribute to him, I am sharing my Hawaiian Couple punch card.
At his wake/memorial service, we suggested guests wear Hawaiian shirts. We were truly so thrilled to see so many of our family and friends honor Joe by wearing them.
Love you forever, my Joe. I pray you keep bringing me joy in the little signs we witness you are with us.
Wedding Bells and Seashells
A dear friend of mine got married on a beach in Punta Cana this month. Creating a card for her wedding was easy with the So Many Shells stamp set which is new in the 2017-2018 catalog. For the card, I used the triple layer technique, and I am so pleased with the results.
The phrases came from the Floral Phrases stamp set; the color combination was Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Blush Blossom, and Soft Suede.
This was perfect as a wedding card, but you could easily change out the phrases and use for a birthday, get well, baby, or thinking of you card!
Everybody Do the Twist!
Lemon Lime Twist is the one In Color I am having a little trouble with. It’s sassy, bold, and wants to stand in the spotlight. SO NOT ME (well, maybe I am a bit on the sassy side).
Lovely Inside & Out was not on my must-have list, but it was on the preorder list. Demonstrators tend to get those preorder items no matter what because we know other demonstrators will create beautiful items and we don’t want to miss out.
For Tuesday’s In Color Introduction stamp class, I took both challenges and went to Pinterest to get inspiration. Pinterest did not fail me thank goodness. However, like any self-respecting demonstrator, I put my own little twist on the design so I felt it was more “mine”.
Wink of Stella is my new stamping obsession. When I look at a card these days, I look for a way to use WOS on it somehow. It just perks up that friend overlay perfectly.
Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst are paired perfectly with the birthday phrase from Happy Birthday Gorgeous in black.
Come on, everybody – let’s do the TWIST!
New Catalog, New Colors, New ME!
Last night I hosted an In Colors Introduction Stamp Class. Any customer that joined my In Colors Club got admission for FREE; otherwise it was only $5.00 to attend. In my opinion, our new In Colors can be challenging to work with, but they are a shot in the arm so to speak to breathe life into our color palette.
Here is one of the cards we made last night.
The Happy Birthday thinlet was EASY PEASY to release which made my customers super happy. When you have a full class of stampers and need some accessories, this is a great card too because there isn’t one “right” color for the bow addition. Love the mini circle dimensional on the back of the bows for easy adhering!
Every catalog changeover I reflect on what I want to work on for the year. I am truly blessed by a wonderful group of stampers who attend my events. I am EXTREMELY lucky to not want for customers (but I will gladly welcome you if you are interested!).
This year, I need to focus on branding myself and my blog and being CONSISTENT with posting. I create all the time – I just don’t take the pretty pictures and talk about my creations. I’ve been blogging for over 13 years – I know how to do it. Just am juggling too many things and wearing too many hats in my corner of the world.
In this technological age, we want information fast, clean, and easy. I am seriously considering a redesign of my blog which is scary and exciting at the same time. I have loved this design and still do, but stampers are drawn to clean or at least not so busy backgrounds. I may be chomping off too much, but blog overhaul is a goal I have for the summer. Bear with me as I work through this process.
The New 2017-2018 Catalog is Here!
It is truly one of the BEST days of the year – when a new Stampin’ Up! catalog is released! As a demonstrator, I’m lucky enough to get to preorder some of the new goodies a month ahead of time. Sadly, this year, my playtime has been little to none as my schedule hasn’t allowed it. BUT, that will hopefully soon change with the school year coming to a close.
