Tea Shoppe

Sue — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:18:20 +0000

The 125547 Tea Shoppe stamp set that was in the Occasions Mini Catalog is now on the carryover list, so it is still available to purchase. There are so many possibilities to make creative cards with this stamp set. Here is an example of a bright and cheerful card that I saw at a recent stamping event. Who wouldn't love to receive this in the mail?

There are ten images in this stamp set. You can click here to view them and if you want to purchase this stamp set from my 24/7 store.

I changed the colors and the words (that's my 2%). Thank you Denise!

Bright Blossoms Stamp Set

Sue — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:00:28 +0000

My demonstrator friend, Jennifer W., shared this card with me last weekend. She created it with the 125495 Bright Blossoms and 122495 Petite Pairs Stamp Sets, along with the 125409 Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. I love her attention to detail by adding the flower punches from the 118309 Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. And to add some bling to this card, she used the 119246 Basic Rhinestones, which she colored with a permanent marker. Thanks for sharing Jen!

Sue — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:00:22 +0000

My favorite size envelope arrived in the mail yesterday. That means it is happy mail!!! I can't tear those envelopes open fast enough! And look at what I received from my second-level manager, Cherie:

This beautiful card features the Summer Smooches suite of products. These products are a sneak peek into some new goodies that will be in the 2012-2013 Catalog.

Thanks Cherie for the beautiful card. And, why haven't I ever thought to use the Tasteful Trim Big XL Die on the edge of my card like Cherie did? I'm so going to copy that!

Bright Blossoms

Sue — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:00:04 +0000

The 125497 Bright Blossoms stamp set is a sneak peek set that will be in the 2012-2013 Catalog. I was lucky to get this stamp set for free at Leadership in January. I decided to use it on a card swap for one of my Stamp Clubs. This month, the Club members decided that we would all make pink and gray cards. How fun and beautiful it was to see all their creations. They are very creative!

To make the base of my card, I cut my Whisper White Cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11" and folded it in half. I taped each edge of the 125595 Adorning Accents Edgelits Die on one of the Big Shot Clear Cutting Pads. Make sure the cutting blade is facing up. I put the folded cardstock through the Big Shot and the Edgelit Die cut this curvy edge.

Easter Bunny

Sue — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 06:00:49 +0000

My downline, Deb, made this card for the Shoebox Swap for my Stampin' DIVA Day. She was so nice to have prepunched everything and put into packets for everyone on my team to make this Easter Bunny card.

Deb printed her own Designer Series Paper by using 118108 My Digital Studio software. She used the 105021 White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen for the eyes and the 100082 Black Stampin' Marker next to the eyes.

Punches Used:

119847 Ornament

119855 Large Oval

118074 Owl Builder

119859 XL Oval

119849 Modern Label

Such an adorable bunny!

Mixed Bunch Easter Eggs

Sue — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 06:00:36 +0000

Today's card was made by my downline, Amy. She embossed the flower from 125535 Mixed Bunch Stamp Set in 109132 White Embossing Powder and then punched them out with the 119859 XL Oval Punch. She used 102892 Sponge Daubers to add color from various ink pads on the eggs.

I love how she used the 123128 Stripes Embossing Folder to add a realistic dimension to the Easter basket. She used the 118402 Scallop Trim Border Punch for the edge of the basket and put the 125568 Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon behind it.

Such a clever and striking card!

Easter Chick

Sue — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:00:04 +0000

Isn't this just the cutest ding-dang baby chick card? My favorite detail is the little feather on its head made with 120928 Daffodil Delight 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon that was unraveled. The chick is made from the 119854 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. The pink egg is made with the 114525 Ovals Originals Die. The sponged 121809 Framed Tulips Embossing Folder helps frame the Easter Chick.

Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die

Sue — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 06:00:07 +0000

The 125592 Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die is beautiful to use in its entirety. I love all the different looks you can get by snipping away parts of it. If you haven't seen this Die before, the top left is the whole Die.

The Paper Doily Die is available in the Occasions Mini Catalog until April 30, 2012.

Language of Friendship

Sue — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 19:39:42 +0000

The 127721 Language of Friendship Stamp Set is one of the Free Sale-A-Bration items that you can get when you spend $50. This stamp set coordinates with the 117191 Bird Builder Punch and the 119658 Boho Blossoms Punch. Here is a beautiful card using that stamp set and the two punches. The heart was made with the 125599 Hearts Collection Framelits Die.
