With All My Heart

Here is a cute card one of my fabulous downline, ( Sue Bjorgaard) made. She used the With All My Heart stamp set in the Occasions mini and the gorgeous Sending Love designer paper and the Pinking hearts border punch. Love it.

Well Scripted note cards

Check out these adorable little notecards I made with the Guest Book Scrappin kit and the Well Scripted stamp set from the Occasions mini. These took about 3 seconds to make but are great little cards to tuck into a wedding gift. I love this scrappin kit and we are making these 2 cards plus a bunch more in a couple of weeks at my stamp camps. Both Sunday classes are full and there is only one spot left in each of the Tuesday classes. I might have to open another class if enough people sign up. You do not want to miss this one.

Just can’t get enough of Vintage Vogue

This gorgeous card was made by my upline Faith for one of my swaps. I love the red and the kraft together. You could use this one as a Valentine card or an "anytime you want to say I love you" card.  I just love it.

Sweet Pea Stitched Flowers…oh so soft

My good friend Mary Anne Grimmer made this card for a swap I hosted.  I just love these sweet little flowers. You can find them in our New Occasions mini on pg 32. She also braided the new satin ribbon from pg 27. The background paper is the new Shades of Spring on pg 25 and the pink is done with our new Polka Dot embossing folder found on pg 35. All of these items are in the new Occasions mini! If you did not get one in the mail from me, please stop by and pick one up. I have plenty available and I would love to see you. I hope you are having a great day!

Fox and Friends

This adorable card was made by one of my fantastic downline, Sandy Alexander. I think this is such a cute baby card. She also used the Little Angel set for the sentiment. The background is done with our new Polka Dot embossing folder. I love our embossing folders. You must check them out! Most of these items can be found in our Occasions mini catalog.

I {Heart} Hearts

Here is a great card my friend Deb Valder made using the I Heart Hearts set from the Occasions mini. This is a special set right now because for every set that is sold, Stampin Up is donating $2 towards the Haiti relief fund through the Red Cross. So, you can get a great set and help out the people of Haiti at the same time.

Couple of Valentine Ideas….

This was a card I did at my recent downline meeting. It is super easy but shows many of our new products including the polka dot embossing folder, the heart embosslit, the new scallop edge punch, our new satin ribbon, and our new designer paper. You have to have our awesome Big Shot die cutting machine to make this card though. I don't know how I lived without mine.

This was a card one of my team members (Kim Leclear) made. I just thought this was so soft and pretty. It uses the new butterfly embosslit. If you have not gotten this yet, you need to run and order it right now. It is so cool. It punches and embosses the butterflies in one step.

This was a cute little note card that another team member (Sandy Alexander) made.  At my monthly downline meetings we do a shoebox swap and all the girls get to make these projects. We usually make about 7 projects each month and I get volunteers to bring them. THese are just a few of the ones we all made.

Another take on the faux lace

I was having one of my stamp clubs on Saturday and a few of the girls were commenting that the faux lace technique was really a little too hard for them so one of the girls cut her strip in half and did a double layer with the crimped piece and it looked great so this method is much easier but still gives a beautiful look.  So, we can credit one of my customers (Brenda S) for coming up with this easier version. I showed it to several of my other classes and about half of the girls chose the double layered look. All you have to do is take an 11 x 1 1/2 inch piece of cardstock, punch a border along one edge, run it through the crimper several times and cut it in half. Then add sticky strip to the back and tape it down kind of loosely. Then add the other half to the top of that.

Here is a close up of just the lace part. I did end up with about an inch left over on each piece so you could make it a little bit fuller if you want to.

This was the original card that we were making with the faux lace on it.

A couple more from Shelli’s presentation…..

Here are a couple more of the fabulous projects that Shelli demoed on stage at Leadership in Phoenix. The first one is the Fancy Favor box which is one of my favorite dies. It is so easy to make a great gift box with it. I think the silver hodgepodge hardware adds a nice touch to this one.

Here is a close up of the front. She also used the Very Vintage wheel in the Occasions mini.

This is a card she made using the stencils from the decor elements catalog. Love it!

More stamp camp sneak peeks…..

Ok everyone, here are 2 more projects we will be doing at stamp camp next weekend. The first one is a giant candy bar with a gift card envelope on the front. One of my downline (Kristi Brock) came up with this idea for Christmas and I just changed it to Valentine's Day.

The second project is a Ghirardelli Chocolate holder. This pattern came from Kimberly Morris. I used the new luscious Valentine paper from the Occasions mini. To make this, all you do is take a 3×8 piece of cardstock and score it at 3-7/8" and at 4-1/8". Then on one end, push your word window punch in as far as it will go and punch, then move it a smidge to the left and punch and a smidge to the right and punch. The window is just a little too small to fit the chocolate with just one punch so you have to make it wider.
