Guest Stamper: Susi

Isn't this just beautiful?! It's another creation from a fellow demonstrator - this time from Susi Brunk (again, no blog for you to pour over - sorry!). I love the vintage theme of this wonderful stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog! Teamed with the Bella Bleu designer series paper and you've got one elegant card! Hope you like it!

Easter eggs

Have you checked out the Eggcellent Eggs kit in the Occasions Mini Catalog? It was made for decorating Easter Eggs with rub-ons, diecut flowers and rhinestones. There are also stands for resting your eggs on for display but the green stand looks like grass and that was the inspiration for today's card. I used the wide oval punch to make Easter eggs out of designer series paper. Isn't this adorable?!?

Fox & Friends Trio

This card was a CASE of this adorable card by fellow demonstrator, Traci Gentry. It inspired me to try another triple feature: three cards with the same stamp set but different colors/themes. So here are the other cards I created with the Fox & Friends stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog...





I love that these monkeys look like they're jumping for joy!! Hope you like my trio!

Way to Go!

Today's card is for a very special recipient - but I can't divulge that information before it's in her hands. :-) I needed a congratulations-type card for a school achievement and love this sentiment from the Starring You stamp set. And this daisy die for the Big Shot has been neglected for a while now. I love how layering these flowers creates such a beautiful focal image. The tiny brad in the middle is from the new Sending Love epoxy brads from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

One of a Kind

It's an ugly evening here in Southwest Ohio - snow and slush and ice! I put on my PJs over an hour ago and settled into my craft room. As I was browsing through an issue of Stampin' Success - a magazine just for Stampin' Up! demonstrators - I was inspired by the bright Spring-like color combo of yellow and purple. What better way to combat a yucky Winter evening?!

I just can't seem to get enough of the wonderful Beautiful Wings embosslit and Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder in the Occasions Mini Catalog! Hope you like my creation!

Filigree Hearts

Another "clean and simple" card using the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set that is part of Stampin' Up!'s Haitian Disaster Relief efforts. I love the filigree heart image in this stamp set - it's so elegant! And this is my first time using the new Hugs love notes from the Occasions Mini Catalog. These are die-cut note cards made to be used with the new glassine envelopes, but I used one as the main image panel on a full-size card instead. I love the delicate scallop edges!

Thanks for stopping by!
