Birthday Box Card

My card today is one that I am going to go send off to a friend as soon as I finish this post!  It is called a box card and opens up to a box that is two inches high.  I realize I should have taken a picture from an angle where you can see that.  I am going to put a gift card inside and write a note on the Whisper White paper I put at the bottom of it.  The great thing is that it fits perfectly into one of our Whisper White envelopes!I made a belly band to fit around it so that it will stay closed.  The hardest part of this project was figuring what paper I wanted to use!  I like this card because it is unique and I hope my friend likes it too!

Take Care,
Tracy

Happy You

My card today is one that we made at my Hostess Club meetings last month.  This set is called Happy You and it is a Hostess set.  Don't you just love this image? I saw this card on Chat Wszelaki's site but I changed it up a small bit to work with the supplies I had.  My daughter is expecting a girl in September (SO EXCITED) so I've been drawn to baby cards recently! I will have another baby card for you tomorrow that we also made at my Hostess Club in June.  Thank you for stopping by!

Swaps!!!

One of the big highlights of convention is swapping. I joined three organized swaps and this was one card that I made. I finally figured out that an assembly line was the best way to get the cards completed. I used the stamp set Flower Fest. I stamped the flower with Versamark on Pretty in Pink cardstock and then used white embossing powder. I punched the flower out with our 2 3/8 scallop punch. I used my Big Shot a lot for this card - I love my Big Shot.

Wait until you see what great products for the Big Shot are going to be in the HOLIDAY MINI! We were given a copy of the Holiday Mini at Convention and saw first hand many of the new products! I am so excited!! If you are a SU! demonstrator you can preorder items from the Holiday Mini on August 1st. I can't wait. If you have been thinking about becoming a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. When I thought about joining I had a ton of questions. I joined just for the discount but have found that I love sharing the products with others and making projects with my friends. If you become a member of my Stampin' Up! team, we can enjoy convention together next year!!! Stampin' Up! is a great company to work for!

Concord Crush purse

This is a little purse we made at my Big Shot Class. It is pretty easy to make and I think it turned out so cute. I used two cellophane bags on the inside and made some 3 x 3 cards. You could also put a gift card on one side too! My inspiration for this bag came from Sandy Hancock's site. She has great directions there too! I also made a Halloween bag that I will post later today or tomorrow. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me!
