This is one of those cards that you make for someone special – a friend who has a heart of gold, is in your Stampin’ Up! team, is very supportive and brings you cookies and cakes when she visits!
When you make a card for a fellow card maker you know that she will appreciate it but that she will also look at it very closely to see how it is done! So you try to out do yourself because you don’t want to produce an ‘ordinary’ card.
Today I am playing along with Pootles color challenge 012. We were challenged to create a card using Tip Top Taupe, Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron. These are all current In-colors and while I really like them all, it had not occurred to me to use them together but along with the Paisley and Posies stamp set…. they really work! Continue reading
The 2016 / 2017 Annual Catalog introduced a number of new ribbons which are absolutely lovely – some of them we have already used in our classes – others are soon to feature!!!!
Like me, I know you would like to get your hands on these ribbons but not to make the investment in a 10 yd bolt of each…. soooooo At LAST I have the ribbon share available.
This year I am offering 2 shares, the In-Color Share and All other ribbon share ~ you can buy either or both shares

Today my Mum celebrates her 85th birthday and I am in England with her and the rest of my family. It is very difficult to find a gift for her as she really has all she needs. But I would like to share a little story of my gift for her. Continue reading
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.
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.
Just 2 more Bonus Days left – for each $50 you spend before midnight on July 31st you will get a $5 coupon to redeem on your shopping during August. Don’t miss out on this great deal ~ more details can be found here
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. Since then I have used it a whole bunch and it was the focus of one of my card classes at the end of June. Continue reading
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)
