I love MY Customers!

I cannot express enough gratitude to my ah-Mazing customers. Really! I can't! I do love their guts. I truly appreciate them. 

For the month of April this is one of the cards I sent my customers.  

It's glammed up with all kinds of fun stuff but most of all made with love.  

It's one of those cards I kinda got carried away with.  You know the kind that you just cannot STOP adding something? They are little elements, but just the same… they are pretty. I love my April Paper Pumpkin stamp images.  Seriously, I do!

When you shop from my store I get busy stamping. Learn about my Customer Rewards Program! I'd LOVE to send you a card too.

This time of year with Stampin' Up! is SO exciting. When new products start rolling out thousands of Stampin' Up! demonstrators every where are opening boxes with new supplies and are just plain GIDDY! There is something about a FRESH new catalog that brings life back to all of us. This year the catalog is one of the best.  I'm excited about so many products coming out and how easy Stampin' Up! is making my paper crafting world.  

Today I want to share a quick card using new FUN products!

Look at the new AWESOME In Color called Coastal Cabana. Just makes you want a Cabana Boy!  LOVE this. I paired it with Crumb Cake and another new color called Strawberry Slush.  The Strawberry Slush is in the Designer Series Paper called Quatrefancy Specialty.  It's SO pretty.  

Want to know WHY I love Stampin' Up! SO much? I love how our products coordinate with each other.  Look at the new Textured Embossing folder called Modern Mosaic. I also have a new punch I used that fits perfectly with the stamp set Label Love called Artisan Label.

Queen For A Day!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just be Queen for ONE day!  

I'm just getting settled back into a routine from being on vacation and you know how it is… you need a vacation from the vacation.  I am so excited to spend this week with my parents.  I don't get to see them often and I can't thank them enough for taking care of the kids while we were away.  

In reality I should probably treat my Mom to a day of being Queen.  

Today I have a very simple card.  

I love the Storytime Designer Series Paper,  It's PERFECT if you have school age children. This Designer Paper is on the Retired List so you will want to scoop it up fast if you want a pack!  Click HERE to see all the items in the Retired Shelf!

I trimmed out the Q is for Queen from the Storytime DSP and matted this onto Pool Party cardstock.  Added the little Crown from the Tiny Tags stamp set and then set this perfectly into the Soda Pop Top.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment using the You Rule stamp set from the Spring Mini stamp set. 

Since this was a QUEEN card and I'm the Queen of Dolies lately, I had to add one… 

Stamp set: You Rule (129264) Collage Curios (129102) Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pool Party Ink: Basic Gray

Fun Envelope Project

Once the actual envelope was created the decorating part was a piece of cake.  At first glance you might think this project is difficult.  Not at all. The great thing about being shabby is it has that messy look.  I like to call this weathered…. Any way you put it, I like it. 

I started by adding layers of Designer Series Paper, lace, then more DSP.  You can see I have a few layers of Washi Tape too. I like the image stamped on the Label Framelit as it really pops up.  

The doily was sponged, then sponged more and then lightly coated with a shimmer mist.  The entire front is shimmered with two different types.  I love my shimmer paints and mists.  The last piece was the Bakers Twine on the arrow clip. I love these clips as they add so much character to a card. 

Remember, not all buttons have to be threaded.  A naked button is totally okay.  You can see my "ink splatters" on the base of the card. I used Whisper White ink and my Splatter image from the March Paper Pumpkin.  I love this image.   It sits on my desk for easy access.  

Overall, this project would be perfect to stuff a gift card inside the envelope with a sweet message or I think I could even stuff a few chocolates in it.  Hmm!

Stamp set: Paper Pumpkin- March & April  Cardstock: Crumb Cake Textured-Retired Ink:  Early Espresso, Whisper White

Established Elegance!

Established Elegance…. on the RETIRED list? Say it isn't SO!  I'm using this set now in my Stamps in the Mail program and we are having a blast making cards with this great set.  I sure do love vintage anything and this set is just that.  

I did a lot of spritzing with this card using my Shimmer Paint, Re-Inker and 70% Alcohol.  I am pretty sad to see the Shimmer Paint retired.  I used this SO much.  I just love the sparkle it gives.
