Elements of Style Butterfly

This is a card I did in all of my July classes.  I saw a similar card on the front of the Stampin' Up summer mini catalog and I just changed it up a little bit. I love pink and brown so I changed it to my favorite colors. I punched out the butterflies using the Big Shot butterfly die and then I stamped the Elements of Style on it and colored it with pretty in pink and celery markers. I tried to make it vintage looking so I distressed and sponged the edges.

Here is a close up of the ribbon. I just kind of accordion folded it but I didn't really try to make it uniform.

Cute little tin gift idea

I was organizing my stamp room a couple weeks ago and found a couple boxes full of these cute little tins that I bought several years back….amazing what you find when you start cleaning, huh? Anyway, my open house was coming up last week so I decided to use them as one of the make and take projects. I gave everyone a Peppermint Patty for inside and then on the top, we punched out some flowers with the flower punch and then stamped on the white ones with the Elements of Style set from the Stampin' Up summer mini. Then we colored it in with markers ( celery and pretty in pink) and sponged it a little to give it that aged look. This is a super quick and easy idea and I am sure these tins are at any arts and craft store in the wedding section probably.

Featured demo of the month (part 2)

Here is part 2 of my Featured Demonstrator of the Month post. This month I am spotlighting Debbie Keane, a wonderful demonstrator in my downline. Here is another fabulous project she made. This one is the Fancy Favor bag made using the big shot die. It is decorated with the Artistic Etchings stamp set on pg 125 in the Stampin Up catalog. I love this stamp set!

This one is a 6×6 recipe page. I love this because I have a whole 6×6 scrapbook to put these recipes in. They make great gifts, especially at Christmas!

I think this is my favorite thing that she made because it was so creative! She used the eyelet border punch and then hung mini cards from it and it says " Lisa's Cards" on the top. This is Totally Tess instead of me…..that waist is definitely too small to be mine! LOL! It kind of reminds me of Barbie's figure.

Here is a cute tropical card made with the Tropical Party stamp set in the summer mini catalog.

This is a really cute box with little mini note cards and envelopes inside. This would also be a great gift idea.

Here is a view of the inside of the box.  Debbie used the same Tropical Party stamp set for this project too.

Hostess sets rock!

The hostess sets this year in the NEW Stampin' Up catalog ROCK! They are so fabulous I want them all! Too bad you can't buy them though. You can get them free however! Just book a Stampin Up workshop with me and they can be yours for freeeeee!  Don't have time to do a workshop? Just take the catalog to work, show all your friends, take orders from them and you can do your own book party and still be the hostess! Just give me a call or email to set it up.

I made this card using the Fast and Fabulous level 2 hostess set and the words are from the level 1 Because I Care set (the hydrangea one). The colors are Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and the ribbon is actually celery but it matches the pear perfectly.  Oh, and that gorgeous background is the new Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

I know you will want these hostess sets as much as I do so give me a ring today and we can schedule your Stampin Up party!

The New Stampin’ Up Catalog Starts Tomorrow!!!

The new Stampin' Up catalog starts tomorrow! I am so excited!! This gorgeous stamp is in a level 1 hostess set called Because I Care so you can get it for FREE with a $150 or more order. Get a few friends together and do a book party and you can be the hostess, or call me to schedule a workshop! Then I can teach you some great stamping ideas and you will have a blast! I stamped the En Francais background first and then the hydrangea on top. I used markers to color the hydrangea direct to stamp. I think it was pear pizzazz, marina mist and concord crush.  That thin ribbon is also a new product from Stampin Up. It is 1/8 inch taffeta.

Please don’t take my Bermuda Bay away….

I just love this color so much and it goes so well with soft suede too! It is one of my favorite colors but maybe they will bring it back one day. This is another card from my Thoroughly Modern stamp camp.  I love stamping on the pretties kit flowers. They just look gorgeous this way, don't you think? I used the scallop trim border punch for the suede piece and the Very vintage wheel for the background.

Vintage Vogue meets Thoroughly Modern

This is another one of the cards I am doing at stamp camp this coming week. I love the Thoroughly modern designer papers and the Vintage Vogue stamp set. The corduroy buttons are also one of my favorites. I am so going to miss them! I used soft suede and bermuda bay ink pads on this one too.

I posted a pic with all of the projects about a week or so ago. All of the projects use the Thoroughly Modern paper which is retiring next week!!! Get it while you can. I love it! I used the daisy big shot die for this one.

These Builder Wheels are so much fun!

This cute card was created by my upline Melissa Ellis. She used the new builder wheels to create the top background part. They are so cool. You can put up to 3 of them on the same handle and have each wheel do  a different color. THis card uses the Posy Party, Thoughtful Friend, and Bees & Blossoms wheels. These are all available in the summer mini right now! The bottom part of the card is made using the Square Lattice embossing folder in the big shot!

Easy Peasy card….

 I was messing around with the hydrangea ( Because I Care stamp set) and stamped it on a piece of naturals ivory cardstock and I thought to myself that it really didn't need much else because the flower itself is so pretty so I just added the sentiment and ribbon….2 minute card done! I colored the flower with markers (direct to stamp). I used marina mist and concord crush plus pear pizzazz for the leaves.
