Soho Hello

I had a lot of fun using the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper on this card.  Do you see the DSP lining the envelope?  That is using our Envelope Liner Framelits from the Holiday Catalog!!!  I LOVE them and you will see a lot of it in the coming days.  Every card now has to have a matching envelope, lined of course.

Hello to you

These are cards I made using the My Paper Pumpkin subscription.  You can subscribe and instead of getting a magazine in the mail each month, you get a pretty box with stamping supplies and instructions on how to do a project.  How fun is that?  If you want more information or want to sign up you can go to mypaperpumpkin.com.

A Simple Father's Day

This is so belated, I know.  I have been a slacker with my blog lately.  I am trying to fix that.  Anyway this was the Father's Day card I made my husband this year.  I love the new Chalk Talk stamp set. I used the Craft White stamp pad and made this a very simple and masculine card.

Our artists have no shortage of stamp set ideas, but this contest gives us a chance to innovate with our customers in a social media setting--and get their perspective and endorsement before the set is available. The In with You program is currently open to anyone (demonstrators, customers, etc.) in the United States and Canada, including District of Columbia, APO/FPO, and Puerto Rico, but not Québec. So spread the word! Once you join our In with You online community, you can submit your original artwork for stamp set challenges, vote and comment on other people's submissions, earn badges, and interact with others in the community. We will produce and sell one or more stamp sets from among the top-voted submissions in each challenge. Plus there are fabulous prizes for top designs.

Card Cuttting Basics

How do I know what size to cut my card stock to make a card?  I get this question a lot when I meet a new stamper so I decided to do a very basic video in my Stamping Basics 101 video series.  I focus on a very simple way to cut your card stock to make a 2 layer card.  I hope this helps and is easy to follow.

Keep It Simple

A simple note card with no bells or whistles.   This is using one stamp and one color, Pool Party.  I also used the ready made note cards with envelopes.  You can easily make this for any occasion by adding it to the inside of the card.  I love how it turned out and I plan to make a lot more for gifts or just to have on hand for whatever I may need in a hurry.

Fabulous Invitation

Look at this fabulous invitation I received from my upline for an event I earned.  She and I designed this AWESOME invite and it was still so exciting to get this in the mail!  This used the Kraft boxes and we decorated the inside of it and added an insert with gumballs in the center.  She added a button and the special delivery stamp and the invite which was added on the inside of the lid.  Isn't it amazing?  I love this unconventional way to mail something.

Fun Thank You

I saw the directions for this card on Becky Robert's blog and I knew I needed to try it.  I realized I had not posted this yet for you so the elephant stamp is not available anymore.  I love the idea of a different fold.  It is fun to try something new.
