WAHOO!!! Here is a neat card created with the 'Language of Friendship' stamp set!

HI! 
I had a great time with Jo & her friends yesterday. 
It was wonderful seeing & stamping with some old friends/customers & meeting some new ones too!

WAHOO!! I have another workshop today! 

 Linda is my hostess & she has a big group of friends joining us. 
I can't wait to share with all of them!
I got everything cut before I went to bed last night (early this morning) & I just need to pack up & load my car & head out in a couple of hours. 

All 3 of our grandsons spent the night last night, so we are watching cartoons right now. 
Brayden & I made monkey bread for breakfast & it is in the oven baking now.
He has never had it before- so it was fun cutting the biscuits, shaking them in the sugar/cinnamon & boiling the syrup to pour over them. 
I can't wait until he gets to taste it!!
I know our house sure smells good with it baking!
  
 Here is one of the neat cards that everyone will be stamping today at my workshop! 

I think I would call this a simple/elegant card. 
I often do Very Vanilla & Basic Black cards- but for some reason thought this one just seemed it should be a Soft Suede color. 
I really like it- especially with the layered Labels Collection framelits.

'Language of Friendship' & 'Petite Pairs'

cs:  Very Vanilla & Soft Suede

ink:  Soft Suede

supplies:  Big shot, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Labels Collection Framelits dies, 

Boho Blossoms punch, Bird Builder punch, sponge, dimensionals, glue dots,

Have a great day!

I hope you ENJOY this card!!
Stop back by again soon.
Next weekend I have my big 'All Occasions' card class & I will SUPER BUSY this week creating for it.  I will share these cards with you in the upcoming weeks.
 

Happy Stamping!

Here is cool Blossom punch card!

 HI!

Last night I had a fun group of ladies come to our home to stamp with me!

Check out this card!  It is one of the ones that they made.

At Stampin' UP! leadership in January this technique was shared on a display board.  

Here is the card I created from their idea.  

I am not sure what the technique is called- but I named it "punch out window technique".

You punch out an image & then have designer paper behind it to show through.  

COOL HUH!

Just think of all of the possibilities you could do with this technique.  

'Loving Thoughts'

cs:  Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, So Saffron

Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper- SAB

ink:  Lucky Limeade

supplies:  Big Shot, Stripes embossing folder, Blossom punch, Blossom Bouquet punch, Boho  Blossom punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack (flower), Subtles Flower Brads, Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, glue dots 

Another busy day here.  I have workshops tomorrow & Sunday to get ready for. 
PLUS I have my big "ALL OCCASIONS" card class next weekend & I haven't had time to start it yet.  I have a big group coming to it & I have lots to do to get ready for this big event.  I'm SO EXCITED about this upcoming stamp camp.  I hope my boys are cooperative for the next week so I can get alot of stamping done. 

Have a great day!

ENJOY!

Happy Stamping!

This is an elegant 'Elementary Elegance'- Sale-a-bration card!!

HI!
I've been BUSY getting ready for my workshop, as tonight I have Stampin' Night at our home.  I wanted to give you a sneak peek & share with you, as this is one of the cool cards we will be stamping tonight!

This card is totally NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND WHEN I STARTED CREATING!!  Oh my gosh......it took me 3 1/2 hours to create & cut this card BUT I LOVE the finished product!  I had in my mind that I wanted to use white embossing powder with this stamp set- but everything I did with it I didn't like.....so here is the elegant card I came up with!  I am so pleased with my creation!  What do you think?

'Elementary Elegance'- SAB set
cs:  Basic Black, Basic Gray & Whisper White
Twitterpated Designer Paper
ink:  Basic Gray
supplies:  Curly Label punch, Basic Rhinestones, Basic  Black 3/8' Taffeta ribbon, glue dots, dimensionals, 1 1/4' circle punch

You can't tell by the photo, but it is a really different fold.  The gray front is partial & it opens up (attached to the black background that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I made a "window" using the Curly Label punch by punching out the Whisper White cs (front piece)- which shows the Basic Gray through it!  I know that my customers that made this card at my workshop on Sunday just loved it....AND that so made me happy!! {smiles}

Note:  Check out my perfect bow!  I used my bow helper again to tie the bow on this card.  It makes a beautiful bow each time that is flat.  It works so good!  My customers at my class that hadn't used the bow helper before thought it was sooooo cool!   I made many bow helpers on Sunday & sent one home with them.  They were excited!

Ok.....LOTS to do today....
Hope you have a great day!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
