Final Call...

Today is your last chance to get the super cute Sent with Love Bundle...don't miss out!  At first I thought I would only use this for Valentine's Day, but I have used it for numerous other occasions...birthday, baby shower, just because.  Get yours today!
And since today is the last day you can get it, you know I had to make a card using items from this bundle :)   I thought this weeks sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday would work great!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Island Indigo, Whisper White, Real Red, Sent with Love DSP
Ink ~ Real Red, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Stamp Set ~ Sent with Love
Other Supplies ~ 2 1/2" Circle Punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Cute Clips,

This card went together super quick...always love when that happens! 

Hope you all have a Happy Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

Morning Meadow Monday

Monday again...why does it have to show up so quickly?!?!  Especially when I have so many new stamping goodies that need to be tested!  But, I shouldn't complain...I got in quite a bit of stamping time this weekend (and a lot less sleep than normal), so all is good!

As part of our pre-order, we (demo's) got to choose two Hostess stamp sets and I one that I chose, which was not easy, was Morning Meadow.  All of the Hostess sets in the new catalog are all GREAT, so it was hard to pick just two.  You can bet the other sets will find their way in to my stamp collection over the next few months.

This stamp set made for a pretty card using the latest sketch from Fab Friday...

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP
Ink ~ Pear Pizazz, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Night of Navy
Stamp Set ~ Morning Meadow
Other Supplies ~ Stripes Embossing Folder, Denim Ribbon, Simply Pressed Clay, Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds
 
Do you spy those cute little roses?!?!  They were made using the new Simply Pressed Clay and Clay Molds!  I'll admit, it took me a bit to figure out the tricks to popping the clay out of the molds, but once I did, they are super easy and so cute! 
You can use your re-inker to color the clay ANY COLOR you want...so much fun! 
And according to my 21 month old son, they are pretty enough to eat!  Good thing the clay is non-toxic and I caught him just as he took a bite!


Be watching for a few more sneak peeks...

Happy Stamping!

Sun Shiny Sunday

Happy Sunday!!!  It's looking kind of cloudy here today, so I'm not sure how much sunshine we will see, but this card will bring the sunshine to you no matter what!

This weeks "Sunshine" challenge over at The Friday Mashup had me setting aside my new pre-order items (GASP!!!) and pulling out one of my all time favorite single stamps...Sunshine!  And I would like to give a BIG thank you to Lisa for choosing me as a Mashup Glamette last week...what an awesome surprise!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, Temping Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Perfect Plumb, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink ~ Whisper White Craft, Daffodil Delight
Stamp ~ Sunshine
Other Supplies ~ Owl Punch, Cupcake Punch, Soda Pop Tops, Crystal Effects, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Real Red Bakers Twine (Sent with Love Bundle)

I used the chalk board technique on this card...love it with all the bright colors behind it!  I had a lot of fun making this card and love how cheerful it is!  I think I may have to keep this up on my shelf for a while as a daily pick me up...at least until summer is here and we have sunshine every day :) 

I hope you are having a Sun Shiny Sunday!!

Happy Stamping!!!

In Stamping Paradise!

The Man in Brown paid me a visit yesterday, bringing me a box full of NEW  {pre-order} Stampin' Up! product...Best.Day.All.Week!

I could not wait to get all of my goodies unpackaged and put away in their new homes.  With the help of Aidan (my craft-loving son), we got all of my inks and paper organized.  I managed to stamp one card last night before my bed called my name, but I was up early this morning and headed to my craft room as soon as my workout was done.

I decided to have a little fun with the new Mosaic Madness bundle I got in my pre-order.  With some inspiration from the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch...
I made this bright and cheerful card...


Supplies Used: 
Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar
Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush
Stamp Sets ~ Mosaic Madness, Really Good Greetings
Other Supplies ~ Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, Labels Collection Framelits, Oval Collection Framelits, Mosaic Punch

I LOVE all of the new In-Colors!!!  Just when I think I've decided on a favorite, I pull out a different color and my mind is changed.  All I know is that I can not wait to get my hands on the rest of my new catty wish list items!!!

Don't forget...if you sign up as a new demo before the end of May, YOU can get your hands on some of the new products too!!! $155 in product for just $99!!!  What are you waiting for?!?!?  Sign up here and join the fun!!!

Off to my kiddos baseball game!  And you can guarantee I'll have my new catty in hand the entire time!!!

Happy Stamping!
