This is one set that I need to play with more often. Used all the In Colors as my palette.

Woodland Meets Just Believe

This NEW Woodland Walk Designer Series Paper has two sheets of a neat woodgrain design.

Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake pair soooo nicely together.

Just Believe Circles

These images from the Just Believe stamp set almost look like bouncing circles.

Mini Scrapbook Page and Simply Adorned

I made a mini scrapbook page sized 1" x 1" to fit into the frame of our Simply Adorned charm. Also loving the fact that I put my husband and I on the other side. The photo does not show it, but I put a 2mm pearl in the middle of the butterfly.

Easy technique using the 1 1/4" square punch and some sponge daubers.

Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke were used to mask inside the squares.

The main image was stamped in Basic Black over all three squares.

Versamark Mist Revisited

This is Wild Wasabi and Whisper White together using the Versamark Mist Technique that I taught last week.

Just Believe

Boy! Over the weekend, I was on a Just Believe kick. I must have whipped out six or seven different cards using this set.

Versamark Mist Technique

This was one of the techniques from last week's Technique Geeks class. This is Versamark Mist and it is a real stunner with the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.

In real life, it looks just like velvet.

NEW! Letterpress Video

So Cute!

Went to a baby shower this weekend and the parents are having a boy. I used Baja Breeze and Whisper White. The bunny image is from So Cute and the sentiment is A Word For You. I stamped some images from Itty Bitty Bits in the lower left corner and used one of the punches from our Itty Bitty Bits Punch Pack.

Free Craft Tote

with Starter Kit

September 1, 2010

We are excited to announce September's recruiting promotion, where new Stampin' Up! demonstrators will receive a FREE Greenhouse Gala Craft Tote (a $39.95 value) with their Starter Kit!

Look at the amazing tote you'll get for free when you sign up to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator in September! For those of you who know me, you all know that I LOVE my Maine Blueberry Tote from the 2008 Convention. This one is the NEW! and improved version of that much-loved item! The Greenhouse Gala tote--matching the new DSP has been slightly reworked so that it is long enough to hold 12x12 paper and your Paper Cutter--major improvement--and a padded, no-slip shoulder strap for hands-free carrying! The long side pocket on the back has also been expanded so it holds seven ink pads instead of five.

The ONLY way to get this tote is to be a demonstrator, or to sign up in September and get it for free! Call me today and I will meet you at a coffee shop and we'll go over how Stampin' Up can enrich your life with friends, fun, and extra income. Not close by but want to be part of my group? Click here and use "markers" as the passcode. I'm grateful that I started four years ago.

Join us monthly as we make three technique samples along with three full sized cards using that technique. Technique Geek classes are the first Tuesday of each month. Check my calendar here for more information.

Blossom Party Gift Bag

Made this cute gift bag to put some baby gifts inside this past weekend. Love that Blossom Party Big Shot Die.

I used the In Color Designer Series Pack paper, Blushing Bridge cardstock and Whisper White cardstock

Baby Tees

How cute is this Baby Tee image from the Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel!?

Friends of ours had a baby girl recently and of course, a card was needed. The NEW! In Color, Blushing Bride and Whisper White are terrific.
