Springtime Cards

I've been busy creating springtime cards, for Easter, Mothers Day and birthdays. Although alot of the country is experiencing winter weather here in central California spring has sprung. The almond trees have been blooming, bee's are buzzing around, and flowers are in bloom everywhere. Here is a card I designed and created in two different colors, I love the way they both turned out, very happy, very springtime.

New Vintage Designs

I just love the new vintage stamps now available in Stampin'Up!'s new springtime occasions catalog! The set called Vintage Vogue comes with 8 stamps and is now available in wood mount or clear! The Very Vintage jumbo roller is the perfect compliment to the vintage set. I created this card using the vintage roller and our new scallop trim border punch; (you can get this punch free with any $50. purchase through March 31st) I also used our new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt set, they are such a lovely addition. The Happy Birthday stamp is from our new Well Scripted stamp set also in the new Occasions mini.
I think this card turned out beautifully, if you would like to learn how to create this design contact me and schedule a workshop!

Hearts Afire

Here is another version of my heart trio valentines. You get a different look every time depending on what type of DSP you use or what stamped heart combination you chose. Tomorrow I will share the card I used for my valentine swap, which by the way I just received back, and what cute cards I received! Swaps are such a great way to visualize other layouts and other styles.
It was a beautiful weekend here in central California, we had blue skies, sunshine and temps in the high 50's, so I spent a good deal of time working out in the yard. It felt great but I am tired in a good way. Until tomorrow......

Valentine Hearts Abound

I was hesitant about ordering Stampin'Up!'s new clear stamps, not because of the quality of their products but because I've got other clear stamps that just do not have the printing quality of the wood mount stamps that I desire. But knowing the quality of Stampin'Up! products I decided to try a set and I love them! Same great printing quality of wood mount with the convenience of the clear mounts and the ability to see placement. The clear set I ordered was the 'I (heart hearts)', which I used for this card layout along with the 'Love you much' set.
There are more stamps I would like to order from the new Occasions and I will be ordering the clear sets.....they are priced lower and they will take up less space and they print great!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner!

Valentine's Day will soon be here and I have several card designs I've been working on, plus I've been making a cute pencil topper/decor for my daughters class parties. I just recently participated in a swap with the Glitter Queens group I belong to, can't wait to see all the awesome cards the other ladies made. Here's a pic of one of my cards, I'll post a new one tomorrow!

New Cards made with the Berry Christmas Stamp Set

I have been busy creating a new batch of cards using my new Christmas Stamp sets. I have several that I've made with the Berry Christmas Set, love it, the little bird is so cute, and so many options for cards with this set, I've also been using the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set, the ornaments in this set are great and the ornament punch is just awesome. I've made cards and gift tags with the set. I'm going to use some of these designs for my upcoming Christmas Card Stamp a Stack class. More designs are in the works, but I wanted to share what I have so far. If you would like to create some cards with this set, contact me and sign up for the class!
