Hello everyone,

I've been using a lot of the stamps and dies that I had purchased from Stampin' Up! with creativity buzzing like a busy bee.  I saw a video using their "Country Birdhouse" stamp and die set.  Here's what I made:

The cardstock and designer series paper go so well together and I used markers from my stash to color the bird so that it matches.  I haven't had the chance to get the markers that would totally go well with the papers yet.

Here's what the back looks like.  Oh, did I mention that the top has an opening so that you could fit candy inside? Isn't that such an awesome idea? I love it!

Happy Stamping!

Cards, cards, and even more of those cuties to share

Hey y'all,

I've been making cards to beat thinking about how hot it is.  I'm sick of all the heat advisories - just say that July was oven month and call it a day.

Is this paper the cutest?  It is SU!'s designer series paper: Wildly Flowering and Pecan Pie card stock.  I couldn't find the name of the ribbon.

I used the same designer series paper but the stamp is from my stash. I made a total of 6 of these using different sides of the paper - same style but different patterns.

Yes, card making is a good way to not think about how hot it is.

Happy Stamping!

Attention Shoppers

 Howdy folks,

This stamp set was so much fun that I had to make more than one. 

The stamp set is titled, "Attention Shoppers" and it comes with all sorts of yummies that can be cut out using the dies.

You can tell the stamp set is celebratory with the shopping bag that already has tissue paper inside, the bouquet of flowers and the bottle of champagne.  The potted plant...not sure  how it fits it but it's cute, right?

I used the new colors in the designer series papers which easily matched my own cardstock stash.

I even used the new color in the ink pad for my sentiments (Go to Greetings).  Cutting out the shopping cart in silver cardstock was fun.  I did a few in blue and red (for Ross and Target store shopping).

This was fun.

Happy Stamping!

A few New Cards for Swaps

 Hello everyone,

It's funny that I write this because no one has subscribed to this blog. <lol>  But I use it as reference for swaps so that others can see what my crafting style is.

Check out what I've made for swaps and sent to partners, who rated me at the highest rating and commented how much they liked what I sent.

I used SU!'s bird punch and the designer paper from that stash.  I did use my Cricut to cut out the nest because I didn't purchase the stamp set.  I thought the butterfly was cute.

This SU!'s Sending Love stamp set.  This corresponded to a swap with the task of making a card that shows your favorite past time - mine is writing letters.

Stay tuned - I've been using a lot more of my SU! stash.

Happy Stamping!
