5/31 Happy Day & Modern Medley Designer Paper with Doilies



This card is so vintage lovely!  :) Cards like this one make my heart happy!  The Stamp says "hello there" and the class participants just inked the word hello to "omit" the second word.  I just love stamping with markers.

It's here!!  The new catalog is finally here!  If you don't have one yet, make sure you let me know so I can save you a copy!  Oh such Joy!!!  Here's a GORGEOUS creation that I made with a bunch of my buddies at the 20 card class I offered to kick off the new catalog! Swoon!!!

Starting at 2PM today, you'll be able to get your own new goodies! This card was super simple to put together and features the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (item 126926), the STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS new Very Vintage Designer Buttons (item 129327) and the Brand New Happy Day Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! 

The Modern Medley Paper is black and very vanilla, but it almost takes on a brown when you look at this card in person.  I love that I have already used every SHRED of the one pack I was able to get my hands on!  :)   Speaking of shreds, I used my stampin up table top cutter (retiring today) to make the fine shred of paper that looks like a matching stitch through the button.  This cutter cuts 3 sheets at a time, and I think i need to order another just to have a standby in case.  The one I've had for 5 years has never needed sharpening and cuts precision cuts.  I'm so bummed to see it go!

The butterfly is made from black cardstock.  I ran it through my big shot with the Fancy Fan embossing folder and used the butterfly punch to punch him out.

At first I thought the black butterfly was off somehow but I really love it for some reason.  It's so elegant with this layout and soft and beautious!  :)

So, I'm dying to know...
What is the FIRST thing on your wish list??

Here's a peek at the first item going on my order today along with a video on how to use it courtesy of the Stampin' Up! home office!  (I love my job!)

5/14/13 Fabulous Floretes Birthday and Mothers Day

Good Morning Friends!!

I know that I have been MIA on my blog, but I have been WAY busy preparing for a 20-different card class that I have coming up on Sunday here in Dracut!  If you live local and would like to join us, you can register for the event here.  Today is the last day to register!

Here is a GORGEOUS card from my stamp camp class last week.  I sure am going to miss this Fabulous Florets Stamp set Wood, Clear.  I'm so bummed that this one is going.  It is one of my go to floral sets!  
 The class participants had the option to make a Mother's Day card, or a birthday card.  We fussy cut the flower and the stem and layered it on top of the Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack.  I love the smaller format of this DSP.  I was able to get 12 cards from one stack using these measurements.  The dsp pieces each measure 4 x 1 1/2".  That is layered on Very Vanilla which was cut to 4 1/4" x 3 1/4".  This designer paper is also retiring..  I just love that the designers made one side blue hues, and the other pink. 
When my customers are in the studio, I explain that I typically start a card with my designer paper, then I purchase a few colors to match.  Then, I end up using every shred of designer paper before moving on to my next set of products.  I just love the comfort in knowing I used every piece!

That's it for today, but I will be back and sharing!  Yesterday, my venue for Sunday had to be moved, and I was able to secure Harmony Hall in Dracut!  This is a GORGEOUS space with big white walls, and floor to ceiling windows.  I just can't wait till Sunday! 

Much Love to you,
