I love Stampin' Up!

Okay so you might be wondering why I'm so in love with Stampin' Up! It's true that I love to stamp and create cards and Stampin' Up! makes all that easy. But I have to say that the reason I love them today is because they brought back some of my favorite In Colors! I am so excited about this! I'm sure there are some favorites that you loved and wished for them to never retire. You may have even stocked up on paper and bought the reinkers for your ink pads, like I did. LOL. Well now you'll be able to restock some of those colors again.

Who loved Baja Breeze??? Who was so sad to see it retire??? Who is screaming ME!!! Well guess what...Baja Breeze will be coming back. So will Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi (I know!!!), River Rock (totally!!!). Plus a few In Colors from this year: Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry. WOO HOO!!!

Here's a little something I made with Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette and a little Wasabi!


I used my two step bird punch for the first time too. I love it! I had some left over Baja Breeze Designer Paper too so I used it for the wing. I've been wanting to make some thank you cards so I used the stamp set called Thank You Kindly. It's a great set to have for only $12.95.

I've been playing around with my ornament punch too. I thought you couldn't order it anymore but apparently you can. So if you didn't have a chance to get it before and you still want it let me know.

Here's a rose that I made using the punch. 

It was totally easy to make. I sponged some Riding Hood Red on the Pretty In Pink petals. I rolled the sides up using my piercing tool. I used sticky tape to keep it attached together. Made some leaves out of Wild Wasabi and used the crimping tool to give them some texture. Easier than actually growing real roses. LOL.

Post a comment to let me know what you think. :)

Happy Stampin'!

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Paper Pumpkin Kit - Father's Day!

Image
I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened. I have to say I'm so impressed now with this subscription that I feel it's worth more than the $19.95 that it costs. I look forward to every month and seeing the amazing product that it includes. One thing they improved most on was the quality of paper. I now feel this is something that is worthy of the Stampin' Up! name. Envelopes and cardstock ar...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
