Pretty Butterflies

I had a few minutes to play the other day and this is what I came up with.  I used the new stamp set "Watercolor Wings", the new hostess stamp set "Happy Birthday, Everyone" and the new "Fluttering" embossing folder.  The DSP is retired, but any paper could work with this card layout.  Hope you like it!

August 2015 Stamp Camp

Save the Date!  

The next stamp camp is scheduled for August 28th and 29th.  Wee will be making three super fun cards.  The first card features the Ronald McDonald stamp set called "Sprinkles of Life".  This great stamp set has a coordinating Tree Builder Punch which makes this a super fun set to work with.  For this card I created a three scoop dish of ice cream topped with hot fudge and a cherry. Who won't want to receive this yummy card for their birthday?  Plus the best part.....it's calorie free!

 The next card features the stamp set "Awesomely Artistic".  I LOVE this stamp set with all it's individual element stamps.  So much fun to work with  and I specially love the little dragonfly. All these elements go so nice together and it you add a little heat embossing they really pop. But more than that what you're going to love is how I designed the inside of the card, which I don't have a picture of, but I'll give you a little hint....a little dragonfly is flying off the page.

The last card 4 x 4 uses a technique called the Pin Wheel Fold.  This is a great technique to showcase the Designer Series Paper because you get to see both sides of the paper. Prints will vary from person to person, but all will look great.  The fold also is part of the closure. Put it into a fun special envelope and you've got a unique card.

Stampin'Up! Milestone


I became a Stampin'Up! demonstrator almost 10 years ago and I never in my wildest dreams thought I would still be able to achieve such a milestone.   I received this letter, this cool pin and a generous bonus for reaching $100,000 in sales!  I bought a lot of product myself, but I could have never reached this milestone with out all my wonderful customers I've had over the years. Thank you so much for allowing me to have a job I love.  Here's to 10 more!
