This was such an easy box to make. Club girls, look at another sneak peek of a project you will be doing sometime this year. The DSP is now retired but you can do it with any color or paper combination. 
My sister and her family found out they were having twin girls in November! This will make 3 girls for them. My Brother-in-law is outnumbered. I am so excited for them! I had to run out and get matching outfits and make a card to send to them. I am loving the All in the Family stamp set. You will be seeing many more ideas using this set. The possibilities are endless when you pull it out to use. I used the Button Latte buttons and added a Rose Red brad to the center of the flower. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for the sentiment.
I know it is not even July yet but you can NEVER begin your holiday cards too early. This is a very simple card that I will be using for a Mom's Night Out Christmas in July get together. I will be using one of the new in colors however, so you will have to check back to see how different the colors make the card. Adding a little Designer Series Paper goes a long way to add something special to your project.
My dad just celebrated his birthday and he is very handy, to say the least. He is always there to help tear down walls, lay carpet and fix the lawn mower. That is just to name a few. What else could we get him but a Lowes gift card and a card using Totally Tool?
Here is what inspired my card. I hope you enjoy looking. I used the pop up glue dots for the first time on this card and really love the 3-D look it gives. I love the new Circle Circus stamp set that will be available on July 1st in the new catalog! It works great with all Stampin' Up's! punches. The background was done with the color spritzer tool and markers. It is a great tool to give an airbrushed effect.
I saw this Mojo Monday sketch and could not wait to try it. However, you can see I took some liberties with the sketch. I used a few tools I have not used in a while like the color coach to pick my colors. I also used some rub-ons. I also took out one of my oldies but newbies, my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up these trees.
I made this card for a swap I did. It was so simple and I was so excited I got to use my Build-a-Brads! They are so much fun. 
Available June 15-August 31st or while supplies last

I love how this challenge turned out. I have not played with my Scallop Envelope die for the Big Shot enough. I am so excited to be a part of this inspiration team. This is helping me continue to stamp outside my comfort zone. I challenge you to try something new and different. You may be surprised what you come up with.
Here is yet another Father's Day card. My club ladies made this at club this month. It is very simple but says it all.
I have been wanting to try a swing card and my mom retired from teaching yesterday!! Congratulations MOM! What better time to try a special card. I don't think the picture does it justice. It is a difficult card to take a picture of. It turned out to be quite simple and it will definitely be a card we will do in my club in the coming months. That is a hint girls! 
I saw a card similar to this and then changed most of it but kept the flower idea. I am going to miss the Echoes of Kindness Hostess stamp set, I love the saying but there are so many new wonderful stamp sets in the new catalog. I can't wait to share it with you after July 1st. 
I am lucky to have joined the UDI (Utah Divas International) inspiration challenge group. We will be given a new challenge (picture) each week and we will post our projects on Thursdays. This is a great opportunity for me because it is outside my comfort zone. Above is the picture we were given and you can see what I came up with. The colors in the card are brighter than they appear in the picture.
