What a beautiful sentiment this is from the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set and perfect for the card I wanted to make for my dear friend who lives in PA. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, Pink Pirouette and Wisteria Wonder work so beautifully together with the silver filigree in the butterfly aperture of this card.

Watercolor Wings congratulations!
One of the ladies in my Stampin’ UP! team promoted to Bronze Elite during June, this is a wonderful achievement for her and carries benefits which includes 25% discount on everything she buys from Stampin’ Up!
I could not let this go by without a card for her, she loves butterflies and Daffodil Delight – and that is what she got on her card.

On June 7th I shared one of the new suites of products in the 2016 – 2017 Annual Stampin’ Up catalog ~ Floral Boutique ~ I knew as soon as I saw it it would be at the top of my wish list – and so it was – and the first thing on my order when the catalog went live on June 1st.

Tea Bag Thank you’s
June’s thank you gift to all the lovely ladies who shopped with me was a little 3D gift bag containing 2 teabags. It allowed me to continue with my quest to use Designer Series Paper as well to use some of the new products from the 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog, and to show them off to my customers. If you joined in with my DSP paper share this month you will be able to make a whole bunch of these!
( Heads up ~ watch out for my ribbon share coming in August – you won’t want to miss out on that)
Father’s Day ~ better late than never
I made this card for an on-line swap back in late May and although it is a Father’s Day card the layout and colors can be used for a birthday card for a guy or change the colors out and it would work perfectly for a feminine card – and that is the beauty of the two stamp sets that I used for this card ~ Pop of Paradise and Thoughtful Banners because they have images and words that are really flexible.
Vertical Greetings ~ Stampin’ Up!
When the 2016 ~ 2017 Annual Catalog came out one of the sets that sparked my imagination was Vertical Greetings, a set with 3 long skinny trees and 6 vertical greetings, I knew it would lend itself to some pretty and simple cards. So here is the first of what I hope will be many designs.
Watercolor Wings ~ Mystery Stamping
I have shared with you before that my Stampin’ Up! grandma is very active in inspiring her team of demonstrators. She lives in Arizona but a significant number of her team are here in North Texas. To stay in touch with us she periodically organises on-line events thru our group Facebook page. Last Thursday we had a ‘mystery stamp’ event.
Balloon Celebration ~ Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to make a batch of birthday cards that would be great for children but not fall back on the usual pinks and blues, running thru all the lovely colors in the Stampin” Up! palette, I settled on Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight; and nothing is more birthday than balloons!
Floral Boutique Suite ~ Stampin’ Up! 2016 – 2017 Catalog
Over the last 4 – 5 months I have been sharing my mission to use Designer Series Paper (DSP) and have posted a lot of projects here so show my progress.
Well the new Stampin’ Up! catalog was made available to demonstrators in mid April and lots of new designs of DSP were included. As soon as I clapped eyes on the Floral Boutique DSP and its coordinating products I fell in love.
The catalog became live on June 1st and now I can share the beautiful suite of products with you…………….. focusing on the DSP Continue reading
Happy Birthday – Pop Ups from Stampin’ Up!
This is a fun card which uses the Party Pop-Up Thinlet Dies from Stampin’ Up! They are in the Occasions Catalog which is due to retire on May 31st (but the good news is……………… it has been included in the new 2016 – 2017 Annual catalog, which goes live June 1st!.
