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.
One Tag Fits All ~ Baby Congratulations
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.
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!!!

Painted Petals ……1 card…… 2 occasions……
In keeping with what is becoming a little bit of a series…….. using one card layout but showing that they can easily be used for different occasions by simply changing the sentiment. Stampin’ Up!’s wonderful variety of stamp sets makes it so easy!
Hello Darling…… again….
There is more to this stamp set than I thought! I chose to use it for my April Card Class and made a really unusual fold card which started with a piece of 12 x 12 card stock! The Hello Darling contains a variety of images which, at first, did not work together for me, but once I started ‘playing’ was able to produce a number of different designs.
Swallow Tail Butterfly Thank you
I probably make more thank you cards than for any other occasion and I usually make at least 2 of the same design ~ once you have out the inks and ribbon it is just as easy to do everything twice.
May Stamp Set of the Month
I set myself a challenge with this months stamp set and have chosen Lovely Amazing you for this months projects, it contains 3 images and 5 sentiments and I wanted to see how to use color, texture and embellishments to produce 4 very different cards.

Hello Darling……1 card…… 2 occasions……
I needed to make a ‘thank you’ card for a friend, well you have to cut a piece of 11 x 8 1/2 in 2 pieces to start the card and you already have your stamps, ink and embellishments out, so why not just make up both halves……..
