Isn't this a great "guy card?" This is a convention swap from Donna Wizniuk of Alberta, Canada.
This clever bowtie was made with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch! This card made me smile!! I'll definitely be using this idea again and again!
Simple. Fast. Classic. This birthday wish is perfect for anyone!
It's very gender neutral.
I love the color combo of Cherry Cobbler and Sahara Sand!

Swapping ideas with other crafty gals is so fun! We all have a style and swapping E-X-P-A-N-D-S my style.
I chose a trendy banner for my layout.
I added a textured autumn leaf, sponged with Shimmer Paint. The shimmer shows much better in person.
Supplies List:
Paper Chocolates - YUM! Sooo easy with a 1" circle punch!
These are "FANCY" candies so I embossed the cardstock with embossing folders and my versatile Big Shot Die Cutting Machine!
This card is on it's way to a SPECIAL relative with a "sweet tooth" - like mine! :-) This card was inspired by a convention swap of Olive Barnes, my Inkerbelle Sister: www.olivebarnes.stampinup.net .
Supplies List:
This Holiday card features a product "BUNDLE," which saves you 15%! We all love value! This bundle pairs the cute Scentsational Season stamp set of 6 images with the coordinating Holiday Collection Framelet Dies (set of 6)!
I cut the front of the base card off, corner to corner.
After layering the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper on the inside of the base card, I added a circle of white cardstock for a hand written message. The inside circle lines up with the circle on the card front.
Supplies List:
I enjoy gardening, so love floral stamp images. This new SUMMER SILHOUETTES stamp set has a wonderful mix of nine images to spark your creativity!

Don't forget to stamp your envelopes!!
Supplies List:
Get Well wishes should be CHEERY! That calls for Stampin' Up!'s new FLORAL DISTRICT DESIGNER SERIES PAPER! Tip: I write the colors used in the DSP on the cardboard insert of the package so I'm always using the correct coordinating color! These colors are listed in the catalog beside each DSP order number.
The beauty of DSP is the color palette is created for you! I chose two round punches that repeat the circular DSP design for mounting the sentiment.
Isn't this a HAPPY card? To view other ways to use Designer Series Paper, click the "DESIGNER SERIES PAPER" link in the list at the right. Thanks for stopping by!

Shari, my friend and fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from Mt. Morris, IL came to visit today with her hubby, Mike! It was a great day of catching up!! Here we are in my stamping office in front of the my treasured "going-away-quilt" made by some of my wonderful North Star Stamper demonstrators.
We went to Fisherman's Village for lunch on the harbor. Don't you think Mike has a GREAT catch!!!
Stampin' Up!'s Bordering on Romance stamp set is just plain lovely! Flower images are sooo versatile. I colored these blossoms with Stampin' Up! Markers using a small circular motion.
I "fussy cut" the blossom cluster so I could adjust it's placement in coordination with the sentiment. Simply sweet!

It's EASY to add shimmer to your paper creations! Stampin' Up! offers three colors of Shimmer Paint: Champagne, Frost White, and Platinum. SHAKE well. Open and fill a sponge dauber in the LID of the jar. A little paint goes a long way. Rub the dauber lightly over your paper. I looks especially lovely on cardstock that has been run through an embossing folder so it has raised designs.
This leaf is sponged with the Champagne Shimmer Paint. It looks even more impressive in person!
It's time to stock up on all three Shimmer Paints and Daubers for all your special Holiday creations!! Click HERE to purchase.
With no grandchildren yet, I'm light on sets for kids. I needed a special 6th Birthday card for a BOY and I sure had fun with I DIG YOU stamp set!
I turned the sentiment in to a "sign." Then used the Cupcake Builder Punch for "clouds."
This was a quick card! If you have young boys in your life, you NEED this cute stamp set with 8 images!!

Happy Birthday to our daughter Katie!! Here is a picture of Katie when she was 4 with her new kitten Jack. Jack was from the pound and a great playmate, wearing dolly bonnets and riding in dolly strollers! He and Katie were best of friends for 19 years.
Poppies are so elegant and summery. Here I stamped them onto Stampin' Up! Shimmery White Cardstock and paired them with the NEW Polka Dot Designer Series Paper.
I repeated the Polka Dots with the Four Frames stamp set to add the sentiment.
The colors are Rich Razzleberry and a pop of NEW Summer Starfruit.
This is one of my favorite Big Shot Die Cutting Machine dies, the Petite Pocket Bigz XL Die. I decorated the pocket with Autumn Accents Die leaves. The back has a toggle closure.
