Here is a card that was pretty quick and easy using the Dasher stamp which is on the very last page of the Idea Book and Catalog. I also used Christmas Cocoa Designer Series paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you like this paper, you can only order it until January 4th! I'm not sure if you can see the Dazzling Diamonds on Dasher's antlers but if you click on the image, you will be able to see it close up! Thanks for stopping by!
On January 5th you will be able to order from the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog where you will find clear mount stamps for sale from Stampin' Up! You will now have the option of these stamps as well as wood ones. As a demonstrator I am able to preorder from the catalog. My new clear mount stamps will arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to try them out! If you've ordered from me before, you will receive the mini catalog in the mail. There are so many new and exciting items including new punches with a brand new design!
Deals of the Week are back and these punches are on sale! They are normally $15.99 but you can purchase them each for $10.99 until October 12th. I've only had my blog for a few months and haven't yet figured out how to have these images side by side! To see all of our promotions on my Stampin’ Up! website, click here.
I just finished making this card tonight. I got a chance to use my Big Shot and that is always fun. I found the inspiration for this card on Patty Bennett’s site but the card was actually made by Barb Thomas. If you would like to see the original, click here and scroll down. I knew that I wanted to use different colors and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to decide what colors I wanted and what went together. I'm happy with it and think I would like to try some other combinations as well. I love the Stampin' Up! punches and you will find that I always use at least one for every project I do. For this card I actually used four of them!
I just finished making this card tonight and am going to give it to a friend for her birthday tomorrow. I saw this idea at Andrea Walford’s site. She has so many wonderful ideas on her site and I check it daily. I made a few minor changes to the card but if you would like to see her version as well as a video tutorial, visit Andrea’s site here.
The new Holiday Mini Catalog is available today. If you are a customer of mine you should be receiving one in the mail any day now. I was able to send you one through Stampin' Up! but they have alerted demonstrators that they are experiencing problems getting them mailed out but that they are on the way. There are some exciting new items! To see some of our new promotions and products, click here and it will take you to my Stampin’ Up! website.
I finally have a card to share! The school year started three weeks ago and have just not had a moment to sit down and stamp. I actually had part of this card made months ago and finally finished it! I used the Big Shot Top Note Die and cut two pieces, one in blue and one in the Tea Party DSP (I love this paper and keep coming back to it). Then I trimmed the Tea Party paper so that the Ballet Blue would show through. A few accesories and I finished my card!

This card was made using one of our new designer paper packs called Cottage Wall. It is actually hard to see in this picture how vibrant the colors really are. I'm addicted to Stampin' Up! punches and use at least one in every card I do. The butterfly is from the Great Friend stamp set and I have to say it is one of my favorites!
The Deal of the Week is the Big Shot Doctor's Bag. It is normally $69.95 but is on sale this week for $49.99! I've been eyeing this bag myself to carry my Big Shot around. Click here if you would like to place an order or email me if you have any questions!
Here is the first card for the box I made yesterday. I used the Big Shot Top Note die. It is hard to see what a pretty color the cardstock is. I need to get a different light so that the pictures will appear more true to color. Hope you are having a wonderful 4th of July!!

This is a post-it note holder that I made using an acrylic photo holder. I used our Designer Series paper and rolled it up inside the Pentel pen. Isn't it cute?
Here is another box. This picture gives you a better sense that it is a box. Good feedback from my husband! I would have put this at the end of the earlier post but couldn't figure out how to do that!
This box was made using the Big Shot Matchbox die. This is a die exclusive to Stampin' Up! I put a piece of candy inside but there are so many different ways that this box can be used!
This is a quick and simple card that I made using Stampin' Up products.
