The cotton paper was introduced in the 2015 ~ 2016 Annual Catalog by Stampin’ Up! – it had a lot of really lovely new things – one of which was this cotton paper. I was not sure what to expect when I ordered it but it is always good to try something new……. right?

I made this card for my customers who have an August Birthday but I also needed a card for a friend who had recently lost a family member. Looking at the card design I realized I could make it work for both purposes. There is a little bit of stamping but it relies on the embellishments for impact.

Last week I was in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention which is open to demonstrators and is an opportunity for demonstrators from all over the US as well as other countries to get together with Corporate leaders to (amongst other things) recognise achievements, to hear and see new products and ideas.
Convention 2015 is called ‘Inspire, Create, Share’ and one one of the best parts is to swap card ideas with your fellow demonstrators……. here is my swap: Continue reading
Well would you believe a 4th baby card!! This time for a young couple who live in our old neighborhood and expecting their first child later in the summer. They had a baby shower last weekend and it was different from my previous baby shower experiences as spouses were also invited rather than being just a girlfriend get-together – a refreshing change.
This card is a little different from the others I have made…….
A few weeks ago I posted a new baby card, at that time I said I did not get to make these too often………….. well now I have had the opportunity to make a 3rd card! This time for another co-worker of my husband’s.
‘Crazy about You’ is the perfect title for a stamp set used for an anniversary card. I made this card in May for the wedding anniversary for the couple whose husband was our best man at our wedding.
I chose to make the card in Cherry Cobbler and Gold as those were their wedding colors back in 2006.
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……………
I made a few thank you cards for my ladies last month. The focal point was the Painted Bloom DSP from Stampin’ Up! (which is about to retire) In fact this little card is a homage to a number of products that are on Stampin’ Up’s retirement list ~ I shall miss them all……………………….
Today I have a card that uses a background stamp as a focal point. Something Lacy is in the Occasions mini catalog (and about to retire on June 2nd) which I heat embossed with Blushing Bride Embossing Powder.
Don’t get to make too many ‘New Baby’ cards, so when my husband asked me to make one for a co-worker who had just had their first baby I was a bit of a loss as I don’t really have much in the way of baby themed stamp sets. A closer look at my stamp shelf revealed ‘One Tag Fits All’ and it had the perfect stamp for my card.
