Tag Punch Fold Card

This card was inspired by a card made by Julie Ebersole. I hope you can see the detail on the background paper. It's folded so that the tags sit inside the fold. If you'd like to see the original card you can go to Julie's website at Paper Trufflez: Card Design Julie has some really nice artwork on her website.

Oval Punch Flower

This card was CASED'd (copy and steal everything) from Kristina Werner. I did change the patterned paper, the words and I also embossed the center of the flower. So actually I just got the idea from Kristina. She does awesome work. Check out her blog at kwernerdesign blog. Let me know if you have any questions about her designs or mine and if you'd like to re-create any of my cards. We can have a stamp party at my house!

Sassy Stems

The watercolor effect was created using a spritzer bottle after coloring in the image with stampin' write markers.

FRIEND Name plate

This is my first ever name plate project. I made it for a make n take at one of our group meetings. All the girls loved it. I was so proud of this one. All products are Stampin' Up! except the paperclips. I got the pretty colored paperclips at Target a while back and finally found a use for them. I used the Headline Alphabet and Little Pieces stamp sets. The heart punch is now a retired punch, sorry about that. You could use one of our new punches though, the new Star punch and the 5 Petal flower punch would look nice. The Spring Flower Bouquet punch would be quite cute too.

Punch Card

This card was inspired by a card I saw in the 2007 Catch Up Issue of the Stampers Sampler created by Judie Pouliot and Dee Hewitt (pg. 96). I used all Stampin' Up! products including the Spring Bouquet punch and the Hugs and Wishes stamp set. The color on the punches was made by using a stampin' around wheel then punching the images out. This technique would work with just about any wheel and color. Try it using the larger, bolder punches and see what you come up with. Try using more than one color, that might be interesting...I might jsut go try that right now... Don't worry, I'll post whatever I come up with. ;0)

Last Swap Card

Here's a card I made for our monthly team meeting. I used the new Pick a Petal stamp set and one of our new bling rhinestone brads. I just love our new rhinestone brads. They come in such pretty colors, pink, red, pumpkin, yellow, lilac, light blue, turquoise and green. They match our cardstock and ink perfectly so it's a no brainer to get a coordinated look.

My First Blog Post

Well, lately I've been looking at all these wonderful blogs from fellow demonstrators and I just decided I should create my own blog. I'm going to give it a try to see if I can keep up with what's going on in my stampin' world and share some crafty things I've been working on. I'll try to add lots of pictures (if I can figure out how to do that) of stamped things for you to copy but please do not publish or sell any of my designs. They are for your stampin' inspiration only. Feel free to copy anything you see and if you create something different with an idea you got here please send me a picture. I'd love to see what you've made! If you have any questions just shoot me an email and I'll try to answer as quickly as possible. I hope you enjoy this site and if you have any suggestions I'm all ears.
