Hung Up Cute Clips

The little wire hangers can be used for more than just hanging little dresses.  The Baker's Twine is perfect for tying a saying to the hanger!  This is another card we'll be making at Stamp Camp.  These stamps aren't retiring but the cute ruffle ribbon will be gone at the end of May.  Boohoo!

SO MANY CANDLES...

We have stamp camp coming up May 13.  The new catalog will be available June 1st so some cool product will be retiring at the end of May.  It's always hard to see some of our favorites retire but then the new product is always the "best"!!    Here's one of our cards we'll be making on May 13th.

BEST card for the man in your life

I used the Ticket Duo punch to make the pocket...just sponged it to make it pop a bit.  The Retro Fresh DSP makes the perfect striped tie.  So Father's Day is a couple months away but there might be another reason to send this card to the Best man in your life.  My sweetheart never gets to keep the card for very long because I want it back as a display.  LOL

Rabbit Ears Bow

If you want to make a cute bow, just make rabbit ears and tie them together.  Perfect every time!

That's Elegant Eggplant

That looks like Basic Black but it's actually Elegant Eggplant.  This Decorative Dots embossing folder was featured as a free item in the Sale-A-Bration catalog but it will be carried over to the new Big Catalog coming out June 1st.  And the Watercolor Wonder washi tape (page 22 Occasions catalog) is a great bargain at $4.95 for 3 rolls.  This card has some elegant features but it would work as a masculine card, eh?

Congrats GRAD

Believe it or not, graduation "season" is coming.  You can customize this card with their school colors. The Top Note is super-easy to layer...just trim along the score lines.  Voila!

Making Lattice

You just have to share when you see a cool technique.  The Chevron Border Punch (page 28 Occasions catalog) can be turned into a lattice fence.  Just punch two strips (1 1/4" high x 8 1/2" long). Then layer them so that the chevron arrows are going the opposite ways.  As you slide them on top of each other, you will see the lattice pop out at you.  Glue together and trim to fit your card.  (I ran the lattice through the Square Lattice embossing folder, too.)  Don't you think flowers growing through lattice is just so Springy?

We're making this card tonight at my Club Get-Together.

Life doesn't have to be perfect...

Whew...that's a relief!  I love this set from the Occasions catalog (page 27...Perfect Pennants).  I have to admit that I held off as long as I could then decided I had to have it!  Just every stamp in the set is fantastic!  One of my best friends stamped this card and it's so awesome I had to share.  Thanks Janeen!

Cheers!

Three cheers actually!  The little rhinestones add a touch of sparkle to each drink.  Stamp campers will be making this card tomorrow!  Can't wait!

Coffee and Friends

One of my favorite things is a cup of coffee (preferably a mocha).  It's especially great shared with a friend!  I'll be sharing this little coffee card with my friends coming to stamp camp on Saturday!

Ohhh Baby

Stamp Camp is Saturday.  We'll be making Funtime cards and this card is definitely fun to make!  Check out tomorrow to see another camp card!!
