Embossed You are Loved card

Sorry I have not posted in days.  I had the flu for a week!  I am so glad to be feeling better and ready to share more ideas with you.

Here's a nice card for Valentines day, or any other day you want to tell someone you love them.  I love the emboss resist technique, and this card shows it off well.  

My Open House is this Friday, 4-6:30 pm.  Be sure to RSVP and stop by.  I will have a free make and take for everyone who RSVP's, and some Valentine packs to purchase and make too.  Contact me for more information.   
If you need to make a bunch of cards, this also works well.  I cut all the card stock first, then on the Very Vanilla rectangle I did the emboss resist steps, and all the stamping.  Then backed the rectangle with Soft Suede and used Dimensionals to adhere it to the card front.  It's a beautiful effect and I have a bunch of them ready now to send.  

You are Loved and En Francias stamp sets, Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock, Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette and Rose Red Classic Inks, VersaMark ink, Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals

Pool Party Shimmering Butterfly

I love the new Swallowtail stamp in the new Spring mini catalog from Stampin'Up!, on page 18.
I love this stamp image and it works so well when you emboss the image and color it.  

Look on page 19 of the Stampin'Up! spring catalog, it shows a great technique, and I tried it!  
  1. Stamp the butterfly image in VersaMark ink (
  2. Emboss with Pool Party Stampin' Emboss Powder (mini-page 12)
  3. Brush Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint over the butterfly using your Aqua Painter
  4. Heat set with Heat Tool
Look at the shimmer!  Love it!

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!
I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!  
Of course, you'll want to know more.

(Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)

Valentine Heart Banner card

I love this Happy Valentine Heart Single Stamp.  It's so fun and easy to use.  I was making another card using my Hearts a Flutter Framelits, another fun product in the Stampin'Up! Spring mini (page 11), and thought it needed a bigger heart.

Fun New Card Ideas

Look at these great cards!  I love all the fun ideas that my friends and I shared with our last card swap.  Everyone make 9 of the same card and then we traded so we would all have our card, plus 8 other new ideas from the Stampin'Up! Spring mini catalog.

Every time there is a new catalog offering we get together and swap ideas.  The rules are all current SU supplies, use something NEW and have fun!  
Some of these fun ideas are original, but there are quite a few that were CASEd, or copied.  I hope you enjoy them all, I will be posting more photos of all these swaps over the next few weeks.  You can see more information on my swap HERE.

Being a demonstrator is a lot of fun, I get to meet new people and enjoy lots of stamping time too.  But I don't just come up with original ideas all the time.  We all like to copy each others ideas.  Sometimes I copy it exactly, or other times change a few things like a different color or stamp.  Sometimes looking at someone else's ideas is a great springboard to new ideas too.  

If you have ever thought about being a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator let me know.  I would love to have you join my group!  CLICK HERE to see more information about Demonstrator Benefits.  
Sometimes it's about the discount, or making friends, but it can be about earning money too!  Once you have checked out the Demonstrator Benefits, check the tabs on the left side of that page to find out more about

Hearts a Flutter swap card


Here's the card I made for a swap I am in with other demonstrators.  We just did our swap this week and I am so excited for all the great ideas I have now.

I love the Hearts a Flutter  stamp set and Framelits on page 11 of the Spring catalog.  The banners are so fun and I love all the hearts.  I got the idea from the chalkboard shown on page 11, I thought it was a cute idea, so made a card along those lines.
