Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day, friends!  Here is one of the cards I made for my husband's godmother/aunt. The photo doesn't show it well, but the white was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. I wanted it to look like textured wallpaper.  If you run this both ways through the big shot, it looks like linen.  Such a nice way to add texture!

The Tea Together bundle was used to create the cup.  This will be available in the new catalog starting June 4.  I used  the Stitched Labels framlits for the sentiment, Stampin' Blends for coloring, Balmy Blue for a base (LOVE this color), and the Gingham dsp from the Occasions catalog.  This is only available for a short time so don't hesitate!  Just click on the photo to shop.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Butterflies everywhere!

I am in love with the two butterfly sets from the Occasions catalog!  The Beauty Abounds bundle is what I used on the card below.  I was making it for a friend who loves blue and purple.  I chose Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and added in some Granny Apple Green.  I made up my own dsp background with the bubbles and splashes in this beautiful set.  The ribbon is from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Yes, I got it FREE!!  You can too.  If you place an order of $50 or more, you can choose the beautiful organdy ribbon for free.  I love the springy colors in this set.  The dies nest on top of one another.  For the sentiment, I chose the Stitched Labels Framelits.  Please let me know what you think!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Share What You Love

I LOVE this dsp!!  It's card stock weight and some of the papers are shimmery.  It's gorgeous!  I made this card and several others with it.  I wish I had taken inside pics of this card.  You can see the other side of the dsp inside. I made the base from Rich Razzleberry (8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4).  I cut off a panel at 1 1/2 inches.  I then cut a piece of Share What You Love specialty designer series paper (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I adhered it inside the card stock, wrapped it with this pretty velvet ribbon and added a Linen Thread bow.  The sentiment is from the Stitched All Around stamp set and cut out with Stitched Labels Framelits.  This was made for one of my team members for her birthday.  I can't even count the July birthday cards I sent out!  I think half the people I know were born in July.  I would love for you to leave me a comment.  It'll make my day!  And feel free to ask questions. Thanks for stopping by.

Note cards

I made this note card for a make and take at my Stampin' Up! Open House.  I then decided to create another.  I used the In Color designer series paper.  It's so easy to use!  I also used Stitched All Around framelits and the sentiment from a hostess set called Hand Delivered.  This pretty green is Call Me Clover.  Oh, I forgot...the pretty floral piece behind the sentiment is the Artistic Impressions thinlits.

On the second card, I used the gorgeous specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  The sentiment is made from the Make a Difference stamp set.  It's a great alphabet set to have!  The dsp color is Blueberry Bushel and I paired it with Gray Granite. You can click on the products above to shop in my store, or on the flower on the side bar.  Let me know if I can answer any questions and please leave me a comment!  I love reading them.  Thanks for stopping by.

And don't forget, if you are not working with another demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.  I'd be happy to send one to you!
