Another downline swap….

This swap was created by Sue Bjorgaard, another one of my fabulous downline. Our theme for the month was "wheely special cards" so you had to use a Stampin Up wheel on your card.

Glassine bags are going, going, almost gone…..

This month I finally had a chance to show off our new glassine bags from the Stampin Up Occasions mini pg 19. They are so cute and versatile and only $6.50 for 25 of them. This was one of my stamp club projects. We ran the bags through the big shot first using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder and then we stamped the same flower from Fifth Avenue Floral onto white cardstock, cut it out and sponged it with melon mambo ink. Inside I put a quarter sheet of melon mambo cardstock to hide the treat (M&M's) and to make the embossed flowers pop.  We closed it using the polka dot ribbon and attached the flower with linen thread. This is a really quick and easy gift idea and you can put anything you want inside the bags.

Mojo Monday a little late

Hey everyone,

I am way behind on my mojo this week. I am leaving for the Stampin Up Caribbean cruise on Sunday and have so much to do but I wanted to make this card real quick.

Here is this week's mojo challenge and this is what I came up with…..

I am so going to miss my Bermuda Bay /Soft Suede combo when the new catalog comes out.  I love this color of blue. I used the Thoroughly Modern designer paper and on the soft suede piece I stamped the herbs from Garden from the heart. THe buttons are clear with the dsp behind them.

Check out this cool purse!

One of my friends and downline (Melissa Carr) made me this adorable purse! Isn't that so sweet!! I just love it! Melissa was my featured demo of the month this month and she is such a great seamstress. She is whipping these purses out like crazy.

Another card share from my friend Sam

Here is another card from my friend Sam using the Elements of Style set. I think that is my favorite set from the Summer mini. I just love it! Anything vintage is my style though. I hope there are lots and lots of vintage sets in the new catalog coming out in July.

Card from a friend

My friend Sam made me some gorgeous cards with the Elements of Style set from the Summer mini so I thought I would share. This one was embossed and colored in. It is hard to tell from the photo but it is gorgeous in person.
