Hello Everyone! This is a card I did for my January class. I can't remember where I saw this layout, but if you recognize it, please let me know and I'll be happy to give full credit. I used Flock Together designer paper and the stamp from Wings of Friendship which is a level 2 hostess set. I punched the Very Vanilla circles with the 1 3/4 circle punch and the Tempting Turquoise Circles are

Hi Everyone!I'm sure you are wondering what a "bard" is, right? It's a card that is turned into a book for everyone to sign when you are leaving your job. I made this adorable bee using Gretchen Barron's tutorial. The sky was sponged with Bashful Blue, also using a technique Gretchen has on her blog (I now have my own "mutual turtle") -- once you go on her blog, you'll know what I'm taking

Hi Everyone!I'm posting some thank you notes I made for a friend of mine. She wanted different cards for different individuals. This first card is for the minister (what gave it away???). :-DI used the Bridesmaid paper and the new border scallop punch.This next card was for her flower girl. I used the dress that Patty Bennett had on her blog. I punched the hearts from the new small heart

Hello Stampers!!This is another card my Wanda's Webcam Wonders in Denver, Colorado made. This is a CASE from Judy Wiles, a stamper in the group I found here in South Carolina. Isn't this incredible??? I love her use of color.I used Taken With Teal for the card base. Pumpkin Pie is the next layer and then Whisper White. The square punches are the same colors as are the butterflies which are

This card is a CASE from a swap I received from Christina Crawford. She is an AWESOME stamper!!! It's hard to see, but the second layer of the card is embossed with the SU dotted folder. The scallop is cut with the scallop die and the circle is cut with the Circle Scissor. I rubbed the Versamark pad across the scallops and used clear embossing powder. Clear embossing powder for the

Greetings Everyone!!Okay, this is going to be a really loonnnggg post, so get your drinkie poo of choice and relax. First off, sorry that I've been missing all this time. As you know, I had bi-lateral hip replacement surgery last year. I was doing okay on my rehabilitation, but my mojo just wasn't there. Talk about not having ANY energy to do anything. Then . . . I had to go back to work. Well,

This beautiful card was sent to me by Carol Milham. I FINALLY found the stamp set Stella Stamper and Carol was gracious enough to sell her to me. I've been looking for that set for YEARS!!! Much to my surprise, when I opened the envelope, this lovely card was also enclosed. It's made with the retired God's Beauty hostess set. It's hard to see, but the background the focal pieces are on is a

Hi Everyone!Sorry that I've been missing. There's a very good reason. I had bi-lateral hip replacement surgery in June. I can't tell you how many "Bless your hearts" and "BOTH hips at the same time?" I've received. I'm five weeks out and really getting around well, still walking with a cane though. I'm feeling more myself and starting to stamp again, so I wanted to share my scalloped bear card

Hi Everyone and Happy Mother's Day! This technique has taken the stamping world by storm!! I have the unique pleasure to let you know that my BFF Crystal French came up with technique!!! She is an AWESOME stamper!! The roses are from the Fifth Avenue Floral collection. Using Shimmer White cardstock, you emboss the stamp in white.

This is a card I did for a swap from the Occasions Mini. I stamped the flower and sentiment from the stamp set, Very Versatile, in Cameo Coral. I punched the eyelet lace punch (don't you just love this punch???) in Cameo Coral cardstock and used the designer paper, Walk in the Park. The flower and sentiment are popped with dimensionals.

This has got to be a record, me posting two days in a row.This card was made with Echos of Kindness, which is a Level 2 hostess set. I stamped the flowers with Black Staz-on and colored the flowers with Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Certainly Celery markers. I left white space in the flowers here and there. The words were stamped with Basic Black and mounted with dimensionals. The

Where does the time go? I didn't realize a MONTH had passed since I last posted!!! Anywho . . . this is a layout on a card I got from Tara Bazata, who is my upline, upline, upline (you get it). I changed my colors to use the Bella Rose paper. I'm going to weep when that designer paper goes away. I just love it. The stamp behind the die cut daisies is from Priceless. The brad is from the

The weather has been fantastic this weekend. Although, I hear we are in for more rain and near freezing temperatures later in the week. At least it isn't SNOW!!! LOL My friends know how I feel about that stuff. . . :-D Anyway, here's another card we made in my last class. I used the SAB designer paper and cut out the Top Note Die with the Big Shot (I'm LOVIN' my Big Shot!!!). The flower is

Hi All! Here's one of those cards that seem to change itself. I had originally wanted to make a "setting sun" behind the buck on this card, but was having issues on getting it like I wanted it. Then I thought, why not just make a black and white card out of it? So, I stamped, with Black Staz-on, the tree and grass on glossy white cardstock and then stamped the buck to make him look like he was

Happy Almost Easter!!!Here's an Easter card I made using A Good Egg. Isn't she cute with her stripped eggshell on? :-DI used the Tea Party designer series paper for the top and shell and SU's wide oval to punch out the chick. The scallop is a Marvy punch (the pink one). The So Saffron is the full size with the designer paper attached to the top after running the So Saffron through the Swiss Dots

Hi Everyone! Seems I have the "Luck of the Irish" since I remembered to get this posted before St. Patrick's Day!!! LOL This is a card we made in class. We stamped the hearts from Polka Dot Punches (SAB) in Chocolate Chip on Garden Green Paper and the stem is from the set Cheep Talk (it's the bottom of the branch with the leaves).

Here's a card I made with the stamp set Pocket Silhouettes and Heard from the Heart. I stamped them in Kiwi Kiss and punched them out with the Wide Oval punch. I then punched out wide ovals in Kiwi Kiss and offset them on the punched out flowers. The Kiwi Kiss ribbon is glued to the Whisper White cardstock and then trimmed on the edges. The flowers are popped with dimensionals (they don't

I'm showing you all a card I made for a swap for Sale-A-Bration, using the stamp set, Polka Dot Punches. I LOVE bright colors, so I HAD to use Pacific Point in this card somewhere. The other colors came along kicking and screaming. LOLI stamped the five point flower in Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red and punched it and it's corresponding color. I attached them together with a little

Hi Everyone! I was futzin' (playing around with) the Flores suaves set from SU's Celebrando Creatividad catalog and came up with this card. The flower is stamped in Riding Hood Red (I'm having a red fetish lately!) and sponged around the edges. The sentiment is from Holidays & Wishes and the little heart is from the new heart punch. I used the scalloped edge punch on the side of the Bella Rose

Good Morning! This is the last of my class cards for January. I used the Love You Much stamp set, stamping the heart in Riding Hood Red and coloring the flowers with Pink Pirouette and a blender pen and touching the little circles with Riding Hood Red and a blender pen. After I put the card together, I used a two-way glue pen and put Dazzling Diamonds on the flowers. You can see just a little

Here's another class card that my ladies in Denver did. I cased the layout, just changed up the colors and sentiment. I also had to add a little bling to the flower center (thank you Crystal!!!).

I colored the flower with a blender pen and Pink Piroutte reinker and the leaves are colored with Certainly Celery

Hi Everyone! Here is another card I did for a swap at Convention. The image is stamped on glossy white cardstock with Black Stazon. I found out the hard way that ink does not dry as quickly in the humid South as it does in dry Colorado!!! HAHAHAHA So I stamped a bunch of these and let them sit while I did other things. After it's TOTALLY dry, you burnish, with a sponge, the colors you desire. In

Oh my goodness!!! I didn't realize it had been OVER A MONTH since I last posted. Packing, moving and unpacking, unpacking, unpacking, going to SU's Convention, looking for a job (did I mention unpacking?) and trying to organize has sent me over the edge! HAHAHAI have lots to share with you. I got TONS of great swaps and ideas, took a lot of photos and generally had a fantastic time at Convention.

Okay, I'm mush today. This morning at 9:00 a.m., there will be 3 burly men ready to pack my truck (which, by the way, I still have to pick up and DRIVE to my house . . . .). Anyway, my oldest daughter, Shannon (I call her Sarg because she's a Staff Sargeant in the Air Force and believe me -- I know how the recruits feel now!!! HAHAHAHA) has been a TREMENDOUS help with all this packing. I probably

Here are a couple more puppy cards for my friend. The first one kind of looks like a "golden retriever" if you stretch your imagination a bit. :o) I embossed the image with black embossing powder on water color paper, colored him with more mustard water color crayons and then blended him with an aqua painter. I found I like that a lot better than the second dog, which I stamped with Stazon Black

Here is the second doggie card I made for my friend. He wanted just plain cards so he could write what he wanted inside. This card uses a stamp from Magenta. Before becoming a SU demo, I had purchased TONS of stamps from other companies, so I thought I should drag some of them out and use them. Duh! :o)The puppy is stamped in Black Stazon and colored with Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel markers

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but this packing is starting to get to me. Imagine that??? I did, however, sign a lease on a house to rent in Rock Hill, so I'm breathing easier about that!!! My girlfriend, Costella, says it's, "Absolutely Gorgeous!" so I'm believing her since she's more picky than I even am!! he, he, heAnyway, a guy I work with wanted me to make him some doggie cards, so these

Hi Everyone! Here's another card we did for my most recent classes. This set is "For Father" and it is colored with water color crayons and a blender pen. It is a CASE from my VERY talented upline, Kelli Needham. All of my customers raved about how wonderful it was to color with the water color crayons and using the blender pen. I'm sure there will be a few more orders coming up soon!!Got to

Hi Stampers! Here's another card we just did for my last class. I found this layout on the April issue of Sheetload of Cards at http://www.sheetload.com/. They have a monthly publication with LOTS of great ideas in it.This card went together very quickly. It's a little hard to see, but I did direct to paper on the Certainly Celery designer paper on all edges before adhering them to the Chocolate

Where does the time go? I thought I was going to be able to keep up with this blog, but, as we all know, time does fly.Anyway, I just finished a class yesterday and wanted to share a card we did. I'll post a different card each day. My second class will also do these cards next week, but I'm sure they won't mind a sneak peek at them.This card started out as the "brayered sky" technique (
