Another Big Shot Project

Here is another one of our Big Shot projects that we will be doing on June 5. Colors used are Pixie Pink and Glorious Green. The Scallop Circle die was used to make the actual basket part. It is a neat treat basket that can be used to decorate any table or given as a gift. Inside the basket is a cello bag filled with candy. Hope you all have a marvelous weekend. Enjoy!

Birds and Blooms

This is a sample of one of our Big Shot projects for June 5. The Top Note Die is used; along with the Birds and Blooms die. There are actually two pieces of Tangerine Tango (front and back) and in the middle is a white bag. The white that you see is the background and is actually the Wide Oval Punch (hence, nothing there). This project is designed to be a gift bag/pouch the can hold candy, jewelry, money...just about any little thing you can thik of! Enjoy! Look for more Big Shot projects coming in the next couple of days.

Just Beachy

Well, I am back. I had a wonderful relaxing weekend! This scrapbook sample uses the set Just Beachy which is in the Occasions Mini Catalog. The page, itself, didn't totally scan. The white on the right side continues a little bit more and then you see about 1/4" of Only Orange border on the right. It is 8" x 8" in size and the colors used are Green Galore (one of my favorite), Only Orange, Pacific Point, Yo Yo Yellow, and Whisper White. A 4 x 6" picture fits on here nicely. As soon as I find the perfect picture (one with water in the background), I will also use the photo corner punch in diagonal corners to enhance it. Enjoy!

Matchbox Messages

Hello everyone! Hope you are gearing up for a relaxing holiday weekend? I sure am. You might not hear from me for a couple of days...I am going to try to enjoy the weekend and take some time off.

This card sample from a fellow demonstrator, Christine Rebbert, uses the Matchbox Messages set. The designer series paper is Urban Garden and the colors used are Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, and Basic Black. I think she did a great job giving it a "window effect". Enjoy!

Always

I made this card at a Stampin' Up! meeting last Saturday. It is not my usual style, but I really thought it was quaint. The set used is Always. The flower pot is made from the Designer Label Punch. Who knew!! You simply trim the ends off. How creative is that? I think that the watercolor background around the pot definitely enhances it. Enjoy!

Another Great Friend!

This set is just growing on me! This card was created by Lori Staley; one of my fellow demonstrators. I just love the Pacific Point and the Baja Breeze together. The eyelet border punch just adds some flare to it.

I have two more spaces open for my June Stamp-a-Stack on June 5. I have to close it at 20 so let me know if you think you may join us. We will have LOTS of door prizes and gifts for those who are bringing friends...and for the friends they bring too! Hope you can join us.

Upsy Daisy! Again

Another fine example with this wonderful set...another one of my favorite sets! Upsy Daisy is such a versatile set. The colors used here are Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip. The white circle just spotlights it and makes it stand out. Enjoy!

The Designer Series Paper is Tea Party. Enjoy!

We have a Winner!

Good Morning. A beautiful sunshiney morning at that. We have a winner! Congratulations to Davona P. for replying that she is reading the blog. She will receive the Note of Thanks Mini Note Kit.

This sample is from my upline, Jan Wakeland. It uses the new Flower Assortment Brads which I just love. The Tangerine Tango Designer Paper is a good reminder about the special that Stampin' Up! has to offer right now. Check out the special on my website: www.faithfulstampers.stampinup.net. What a neat way to use the Metal Edge Tags. Enjoy!

Dreams du Jour

Well, this set was a challenge to me. I have had the
Dreams du Jour set for awhile, but I wasn't sure what
to do with it. I am thinking that I am liking it. The Designer Series Paper used is Parisian Breeze; one of
my favorite!

Okay, the moment you have all been waiting for...the
FREE offer. Place a $40 order before or during our June 5, class and you could have your own FREE products. For each $40 order, your name goes into a drawing to be hostess for that day. Genny R. was our lucky winner in April and she received a hostess set and FREE product from the catalog. You gotta play to win!

Also, Krystal D. was our winner for being the first to respond after reading my blog last time. She received a pack of mini glue dots. Here's another chance. The first person who e-mails me or leaves a comment that they read my blog, will receive something FREE from me.

Just B

This is a set that I have had for quite awhile, but never used. I was determined to put it to use. With my luck, it will be a set that is retiring in June! Colors used are Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip, and Sahara Sand. The Designer Series Specialty Paper is To the Nines. I just love this Designer Series Specialty Paper because it is versatile and it looks manly!! It is hard to find manly designer paper. Enjoy!

Walk in the Park

This sample came from my upline, Jan Wakeland. The colors used are:

Whisper White and So Saffron. The Designer Series

Paper comes from Walk in the Park. The Eyelet Border Punch was used along with Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon and So Saffron Poly-Twill Ribbon to enhance the card. The background is designed with a Backgrounds I Texturz plate. Enjoy!

Christmas Again

Hello All. I had requests for more Christmas so...here is another one!

This card is so versatile. The words and image make it what it is...Christmas, Birthday, or whatever you want to make it. The colors used here were Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, and Chocolate Chip (ink). The punches enhance the look. Just imagine all the possibilities for stamped images on this one! I have some of these card kits available if you are interested. They are $1 each or $1.75 for those of you who are long distance and would like them mailed. Enjoy!

Thoughts and Prayers

Good morning! I know it has been a little while since I posted, but I am back. My card for today is one of my favorites. Easy to make and looks beautiful if I must say so myself. Colors used were Going Gray, Basic Gray, Whisper White, and Walk in the Park Designer Paper was used.

I do have a couple of these card kits available. They are $1 each or $1.75 for those of you who are long distance.

Don't forget, now is the time to purchase that Designer Paper. Stampin' Up! has an excellent special and I know many of you took advantage of it last year as well.
