I'm still at convention in Salt Lake City, but I wanted to pop in to share one of my swap cards with you.
This card features the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper, Four You Stamp Set, and the Flower Shop bundle (stamp set & coordinating punch). You can purchase all of these items in my Online Store.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm in the final stages of packing for convention, but I wanted to share a quick card with you that I made for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge.
Don't you just love the colors on this card? I picked them to coordinate with the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper: Soft Suede, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Canteloupe, and Very Vanilla.
STAMP SETS: Flower Shop, Really Good Greetings
INK: Crisp Canteloupe, Soft Suede
PAPER: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Pistachio Pudding, Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper
ACCESSORIES: Crisp Canteloupe 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, In Color Boutique Details, Pansy Punch
My final 2 project suites have posted over at UStamp with Dawn & Friends Cards with Cool Moves 2013. (Boy! That is a mouthful!) You should really go check it out. There are over 40 project suites with complete tutorials. These are some fun cards and all of them feature some type of movement.
My first project suite focused on the Giggle Greetings stamp set. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the cat and dog image tilt and turn. The dog can actually chase it's tail!
And my final project suite features the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper and Hello, Lovely stamp set. These cards are called wiper cards because they have a little wiper piece that pops up when you move the card.
I'm busy getting ready for convention next week in Salt Lake City. My swaps are done, but I'm still working on a few gift items for some special people.
After convention, I'll have so much to share with you.....it's a bit overwhelming! I did 24 projects for the display boards, 10 projects for the Artisan Design Team, and of course, my swaps & gifts.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Well, maybe I'm back. The hard drive on my computer crashed 3 weeks ago. My computer guy was able to recover *most* of my data and rebuild the computer. I'm still trying to reload all of my essential programs. Unfortunately, I've found a little problem with my computer and I'm not sure if it is a major issue or not. I'll be contacting my guy again, so hopefully it is an easy fix. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, a lot has happened in the past 3 weeks. I was notified last week that I am a finalist for the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design team. Each year, Stampin' Up! holds a creative contest for its demonstrators. To enter, you must submit 5 card samples, 3 scrapbook pages, and 2 3D items. Stampin' UP selects 20 finalists from all of the entries and those finalists will have their work on display at our annual convention. On awards night at convention, Stampin' Up narrows the field to 10 demonstrators who are then part of the Design Team for the next year. It is such an honor to be in the top 20 again this year. So many creative demonstrators enter this contest and I can't imagine how difficult it must be to narrow it down to 20, or even 10.
I've been very busy working on project suites for the latest round of UStamp--Cards with Cool Moves. There are some fabulous ideas and anyone can join. Check it out here. Here is a peek at my first project suite:
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope to be completely up & running by next week with more creative inspiration for you.
Happy Stampin'
I hope you enjoyed the SUDSOL Blog Tour yesterday. There were some great projects shared, don't you agree?
Now for some bad news.....my hard drive on my computer DIED this week. I am waiting on my computer guy to tell me if it can be revived or if I'll need to replace it. Either way, I have very limited access to a computer right now. Here is what that means for you:
The last thing I did on my computer was list all of my retired stamps, punches, and big shot dies for sale. You can see the list here. If you email me, I will try to get back with you as quickly as possible. Just be patient with me. ;0)
Welcome to the Sudsol Blog Tour! It is so much fun to see what everyone has created. The demonstrators of SUDSOL are always sharing great ideas.
I have been a member of SUDSOL for 11 years and I highly recommend it to all my demonstrator friends. This group has been my "upline"---always available to help me in all aspects of my business. You can take a FREE 2-week trial to see if it is right for you.
Sometimes the new catalog can be a bit overwhelming. You don't need everything to create a wide variety of projects. Here are 3 cards that you can create with 1 package of Designer Series paper, 1 stamp set, and a few embellishments.
Here is what you'll need:
STAMP SET: Label Love
INK: Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight
PAPER: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzaz, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper
ACCESSORIES: Paper Doilies, Brights Candy Dots, Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain
PUNCHES: Artisan Label, 3/16" Corner, 2-1/2" Circle, 7/8" scallop circle
This is such a simple card. I'm not sure who will be receiving it.....I've got a lot of "best friends". LOL
I love the color combo of Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight, don't you?
I hope you've enjoyed these projects. Click the links below to continue on the tour.

This morning, I held my new catalog launch party for my local customers. I thought you might like to see what we did. ;0)
Our Make & Take featured the 2013-2015 In Colors and the Mosaic Madness Bundle. The "happy birthday" is from a hostess set called Banner Greetings.
The Mosaic images were stamped in Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantelope, and Coastal Cabana. Then, they were punched with the coordinating Mosaic punch. And don't you love the matching embossing folder? Just think of all the fun combinations you can create with these products!!
Everyone that placed an order at the open house got to take one of these cute treats home with them (inspired by Becky Roberts). I wrapped chocolate bars in the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper......it's definitely one of my favorites! The clothespins were covered with the coordinating Washi Tape.
Several of my customers decided to sign up for the Virtual Stamp Club. As a bonus, they received a "Colors I Own" book to keep track of their ink pad, re-inker, and marker purchases PLUS a bonus FREE ink pad of thier choice. I am going to extend this bonus to anyone that signs up for the Virtual Stamp Club before June 3rd.
You will need to fill out the form and place your order online using the hostess code VTVTYVR4 to receive the bonus items (will ship separately).
And ANYONE that places an order of $35 or more this weekend (before tax & shipping) will receive FREE candy dots. Again, you must use the hostess code VTVTYVR4 at checkout and your bonus will ship separately.
