2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog Sneak Peek
I'm so excited about our new catalog which will go live in July. However, Stampin' Up! has given demonstrators permission to deliver our new catalog as early as June 20, 2011 to HOSTESSES who book a workshop in July.
There's also great news about Hostess Benefits! They're better than ever--you will now earn Hostess Dollars which can be used to select special stamp sets designed with the Hostess in mind OR you can use the Hostess Dollars to purchase anything from the catalog. Call me @ 863-984-3325 to schedule your July workshop.
Now it's time to reveal my most recent card creations.
You may notice the second card states that the Decorative Label Punch was used. It really was! The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White, then punched out using the Decorative Label Punch and a special punching technique. Let me know if you’d like to learn how this was done.

Customer Inspiration
Just wanted to share with everyone the few cards that I've made recently. The first two cards were made for a card swap that participated in at the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar in Orlando this year (March 26).
I used Daffodil Delight card stock (cs), layered with Certainly Celery cs, Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP), Tangerine Tango cs, and Whisper White cs. The finishing accents are the bow made with Certainly Celery Seam Binding and attached with a Mini Glue Dot and the flower from Fabulous Florets which was stamped, cut out and then attached using Stampin' Dimensionals for a 3-D effect. The words stamped on the Certainly Celery cs are also included in the Fabulous Florets stamp set featured in the current Summer Mini Catalog.
The Hybrid card to the far right was made after I purchased Sail Away, The Open Sea Stamp Brush Set, Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper, and Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine from the Summer Mini Catalog. The Open Sea and Nautical Expedition DSP are digital downloads for My Digital Studio (MDS). The first thing I did was print out the compass from the Open Sea set in MDS and a portion of one of the designer papers included in the Nautical Expedition DSP. I stamped the sail boat on watercolor paper and mounted it on Early Espresso cs. The entire card front as you see it was then mounted to Whisper White cs.
The lighting on this card is not great but you can at least see what I'm going to tell you about. This Thinking of You card was made using yet another new item from the Summer Mini Catalog. I started with the new Big Shot 'Flower Garden' Textured Embossing Folder. I ran Whisper White cs through the embossing folder and then used Sponge Daubers and Marina Mist and Old Olive Classic Ink Pads to color the raised image that was created by the embossing folder. I tied a piece of Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon around the embossed layer and the Beyond the Garden DSP before mounting them to the Marina Mist cs base. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White cs using Marina Mist ink and then punched with the 1 3/8" x 5/8" Oval Large. I then sponged the edges with Marina Mist ink and mounted it with Stampin' Dimensionals.
of this card the Triple Layer Punches. I do not however like the color combination that I chose. It doesn't show well in this photo. In addition to using the Triple Layer Punches (Doily & Blossom Bouquet), I also used the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch. There is a trick to make these punches longer as shown but it would be too difficult to put it into written word. With that said, feel free to call me and I will explain exactly how I made the punches fit the sentiment from Fabulous Florets. The designer paper is from Beyond the Garden.

My Digital Studio (MDS) Bridal Shower Card
May 24, 2011
This card is what is referred to as a Hybrid card because although it is created and printed using My Digital Studio, it also uses products to create dimension. I used half-back pearls on the front of the card and could have used a touch of ribbon to create the bow as well. I did print this card using my own printer and I chose Concord Crush as the background color.Feel free to shoot me an email with creations you make, I’d love to see what you’ve created too! I’m just a phone call away if you’d like to learn more about My Digital Studio.

Stamp for a Diabetes Cure
The following post is from Lynn Pratt, a fellow Stampin'Up! Demonstrator whose 5 yr. old daughter, Ashley, was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes:
"Saturday, October 16, 2010
I have decided to make this project in honor of my daughter Ashley. For those of you who have not heard my five year old daughter, Ashley, has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She is an amazing kid and continues to impress us with her great attitude towards this disease. ALL proceeds from this project will go directly to the American Diabetes Association in Ashleys' name!
The purses are approximately 7" across x 4 1/2" tall x 4" deep. They will easily fit many cards and envelopes inside and would be great to hold swaps!
By making a donation of any amount to the American Diabetes Association you can get the full tutorial for this project.
CLICK HERE to see Ashleys' Diabetes Page and/or make a donation!
I thank all of you who make a donation of any amount from the bottom of my heart. You are welcome to make a donation to this great cause even if you do not want the tutorial. So many people suffer from this disease and every penny donated gets them that much closer to finding a better way to handle the disease and hopefully find a future cure!
Thank you.

I Haven't Forgotten You--I'm still buried in boxes!
Right after my recent move, my friend, Lori, agreed to host an open house in her home on Feb. 10th. The projects were enjoyed by everyone. Here are pictures of the items we made:
The treat bag was made using the "Yummy" Sale-A-Bration set (pg.3 SAB mini catalog) which is one of six items you receive FREE with each purchase of $50 in Stampin' Up! merchandise.
If you're a hostess during Sale-A-Bration (SAB), you also earn a FREE SAB item with a workshop order of $300.00 (2 Free items with $600 in sales and so on.) This card was made using the Polka Dot Punches stamp set (pg. 9), the Ribbon Bundle (pg. 5), and the Delicate Dots DSP--Designer Series Paper (pg. 8). The designs from the Polka Dot Punches set coordinate perfectly with the 5-Petal Flower punch, the Circle punch, the Scallop Circle punch and our NEW Full Heart punch (punches are on pg. 184 of the IB&Catalog).
Last but certainly not least! This pretty card utilizes the Hostess Set "Echoes of Kindness" as well as Bella Rose DSP and the Big Shot Scallop Circle #2 Die Cut.
If you would like to make these cards, please let me know--call or email me and we'll make it a date!
