I just received this beautiful card in the mail from one of my downline, Kimberly. She's very talented! She used the stamp set Work of Art. It is a work of art. I love it. Stampin' Up! has a monthly kit that I signed up for and it is perfect for the Forth of July. Check out these pinwheels. You can use the cello bags to fill with treats or just make the pinwheels and decorate with them. Visit www.mypaperpumpkin.com  to sign up for this monthly kit. Each month is a different kit. I can't wait to see what I'll get this month. Sign up before the 9th to receive this month's kit. Usually arrives by the 15th. Cost is $19.95 and includes shipping. Tax is extra. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful Forth of July.

Saying goodbye is hard to do. I have had to say goodbye to too many people lately. Friends keep moving away. It's especially hard when that person has touched your life in such a positive way. Through my Stampin' Up! business I have had the added blessing of meeting some special ladies. Many come into my life and shower me and my girls with beautiful cards and treats and boxes. They have inspired me and made my girls feel spoiled. They are like second aunts or even grandmas. Recently one of these special ladies told me she was moving. I probably still haven't had reality hit me yet but I know when it does it will be hard. I have assurances that we will keep in touch and that we may figure out Skype. (I need to hook up my video camera to my computer). Yesterday I gave her this card. She loved it and I'm so glad because it's hard to impress other crafters. I used the Perfect Peacock stamp set (133830) wood 14.95 and colored it with blendabilities. You know t...

My team has been amazing all year but this month I was able to celebrate it at a team meeting. All my TURTLES are eligible to earn a mini getaway trip with me. Nothing fancy like Stampin' Up! does but still something awesome. You can't beat a bunch of creative ladies together on a trip can you? Here's some cards I made to celebrate my team members promoting. Hope you like seeing these cards. Want to join my team? You can for just $50 if you join by June 30. Here's a few cards I made for my newest TURTLES. Visit my website or email for more details.

  We did this card at my last card class. It's using the masking technique and the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I don't use it much but it really is important if you want to use the chevron stamp out of the set Work of Art.   Here's the step by step:   Cut out a piece of cardstock and a piece of copy paper 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 then layer them and run them through the Big Shot with a shaped framelet or die. I used the Hearts framelets.   Next put the cardstock on your Whisper White Card base securing it with Post Its. I made up a spray using Rose Red and rubbing alcohol. Spritz the heart shape then remove the cardstock.   Attached the copy paper over the sprayed base, lining up the hearts. Secure with Post It notes again.   Stamp your image on the clear plastic and then line it up on your card. Remove the clear sheet and then stamp. I stamped the image several times without reinking to get the ambry look. Remove the copy paper and your base sho...
