Ornament Keepsakes

Hooray! My Happy Stampers meet tonight!!! I enjoy our time together--lots of laughs, food, and crafting, of course! Such a great bunch of ladies! I LOVE being their Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!!

I love the simplicity of today's card! It is a swap card I made but not saying who it's going to so I don't spoil the surprise:) My club/team started a swap this month plus I am sending a card for Brian's swap at Stamp with Brian. So fun to get the cards from other people who have such GREAT ideas and are sooo talented!

Did you know that Mary Fish's Stampin' Pretty Pals are having a blog hop?!!! You won't want to miss it! There are 25 stops so grab a cuppa, put your feet up and start The Pals Blog Hop. I am not part of the blog hop but didn't want you to miss out on all the amazing projects they have to show. Okay, I think my ADD kicked in so better get back to MY card!

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Card stock: Whisper White, Gumball Green and Cherry Cobbler
• Ornament Keepsakes stamp set
• Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad
• Big Shot with Holiday Frame Embossing Folder and Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies
• Other: Dimensionals (of course), Basic Pearl, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and spritzed with spray made with Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol.

This card is so easy it wouldn't take any time at all to make 50 of them for family and friends! 

Have a great day! I will be back tomorrow with one of our Happy Stampers Club projects! Sure to please!!!

In Color Hello Doily

Better late than never! I finally got another 10 cards made and this time remembered to take pictures!!!


Oh how I love the Hello Doily stamp! I think it's because I really enjoy crocheting pineapple doilies. The inspiration for this card came as a result of the Pals Blog Hop. On the blog hop I found some great card ideas so stay tuned as I will be CASing some of them in the near future. The cards I made today (and yesterday) is from Angie's Musings and it was actually a previous blog hop. I thought it was a great way to showcase the new In Colors AND my favorite doily stamp:)


For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Cardstock: Raspberry Ripple, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Whisper White
• Classic Stampin' Pads: Raspberry Ripple, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green
• Stamps: Hello Doily, Tea Shoppe (inside) and Day of Gratitude (sentiment)
• Punches: Scallop Oval, Large Oval
• Other: Dimensionals

I ended up making 21 of these cards altogether as I always need thank you cards!


I'm not sure which of the new In Colors is my favorite because I love them all--separate and together. AND I LOVE the new Classic Stampin' Pads!!! It takes a little practice to change old habits but once you get the hang of lightly tapping the stamp on the pad it is great! I get a much better stamped image with the new stamp pads! I only have them in the new In Colors at the moment but am looking forward to getting some of my favorite colors in the new stamp pads as well--like Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie:) One-new-pad-at-a-time!


Be sure to check out the Pals Blog Hop--you won't be sorry--lots of inspiration!
