I love this little card I am sharing with you today. Ladies, at my May Stamp Camp had a chance to make this as part of their projects. It also uses the stamp set Butterfly Basics – which has become a firm favorite of mine.

EOS Lip Balm Boxes
I spend a lot of time researching ideas on the internet, whether it be for my classes, gifts, items I make for craft sales or just for a personal challenge.
I love to make boxes and when I came across this idea from Sam Donald (UK Stampin’ Up demonstrator) I was inspired, dropped everything and went and made one! It was sooooo cute so when one of the ladies who come to my classes bought along a friend to a class – well she got one too!
Rose Red Butterfly Wishes
I seemed to have been focusing on certain colors at the moment, my hand seems to be drawn to Sahara Sand as well as Rose Red.
This card was inspired by a video by Dawn Griffin and Shelli Gardner and uses a heat embossed resist technique. My ladies got to make this one at a recent Stamp Camp.
Painted Petals Birthday Card
This is the final chance to get your hands on this really pretty stamp set ~ Painted Petals’ I have featured it on a number of posts and it retires on June 2nd!
Multi~paneled using Flowering Flourishes and Everything Eleanor ~ Video
This multi- paneled card was one of the projects for my April Card Class. It starts with a piece of cardstock 12 x 12 and thru scoring and folding its finished size in 6 x 6.
I was asked if I would make a video to describe how to make one……………

Seasons with Sheltering Tree Stamp Set
My April card class used the Sheltering Tree stamp set ~ I used it for a double layer stamping technique but also wanted to show how the lovely set could be used for all of the seasons. While we did a summer theme in the class I made up Spring, Autumn and Winter as well.
Hello Card
During this last week I had a stamp camp where we made a covered notebook with pen and notecards. One of my ladies asked if she could come but did not want to make the covered notebook. She asked to borrow my Stampin Trimmer and worked with the supplies I had prepared for her. I was thrilled and delighted when she finished and shared with the results with the class.
Happy Birthday – dear sister
May 12th is my sister, Susie’s, birthday ~ she is 7 years younger than me and lives in the UK, so I don’t get to see too much of her. While I was always the one who followed the rules (some might say something of a fuddy duddy) she was the one who pushed the envelope and got away with it (mostly!) She is now the proud mother of 4 children and Nanna to 2 grandbabies – it amazes me that my baby sister is a grandmother!!!
Hello again …… Flower Shop by Stampin’ Up!
It is some time since I last used the Flower Shop Stamp Set ~ I was asked to make some cards and was browsing my stamp shelf for some inspiration and there is was, just perfect for the kind of card I wanted to make.
