  Greetings my crafty friends!  Today I am sharing this fun scrapbook layout I created with my April Pumper Pumpkin Kit! well to be specific envelopes from my kit!  I used three envelopes here as my background papers. I stamped a few images from the Bee My Valentine stamp set onto coordinating cardstock and added a stamped title using the Documenting the Day SAB stamp set.  The DAY was sponged with inks using my sponge daubers to mimic the envelope papers. 

    Welcome to the party my crafty friends!  Today I am sharing these fun soon to be released Party Piggies! I am really having fun with these little piggies and their fun punny greetings! I love how big the images are and that adorable piggy face!  They will even have shaker domes to and shakers in the bellies! 

  Welcome my crafting friends!  Today I am sharing more cards created with the "4 Corners" technique!  This time I decided to highlight the Natural Botanicals Stamp Set! This is a unique stamp set as you can stamp from both side of the stamp.  Side 1 stamps a solid image and side 2 stamps the details!  If you missed how to get started, start by cutting off 1 inch from the the right and bottom edges of your paper to create a background paper that is 7.5 x 10  (this will cut down to 4 card fronts at 3 3/4 x 5).  Then lightly mark the centers of your paper.  Stamp detailed images first in your desired colors then clean stamps and turn those stamps over on your block and stamp solid image in lighter colors.  Cut your background along center line and adhere to card bases as desired!.  Due to an ink mishap (I over-stamped an image and had ink in the wrong place) I chose to add some stamped ink splatters from the Elements of Text stamp set....

  Hello my crafty friends!  Today I am excited to share this card set create with a technique I saw on Youtube- using your stamps to create a stamped background and 4 cards! For my first set I used the retiring Flowers of Beauty Stamp set with a spring/summery color palette. .     For my second set I used the Textured Notes Stamp set and more fall/earth tone colors.    Which is your favorite?      Instructions:  Start by cut 1 inch off each side of your paper.   Lightly mark the centers both ways on you paper. Start stamping images along the center lines.  Keep stamping your images and colors to create your background.  Cut your stamped paper along both center to create 4 panels.  Mat onto cardstock and your card bases.

  Hello my crafty friends!   Today I am excited to share this fun card set featuring the Feather Fun Stamp Set . Each month myself and my SU upline participate in a monthly card themed swap using a similar design. The upcoming swap is based on theme Things with Wings. My upline chose to create this floating   design for our cards.   Because I love my birdies, I knew I wanted to create with the Feather Fun Stamps.   I paired in with the upcoming Turtle-y Awesome designer papers available May 6 th .   I really thought the design kind of looked like leaves in a tree.    The Branch is from the Delightful Wishes die set .   What do you think??  

 Welcome my Crafty Friends!   Today I am Sharing the adorable Feathered Fun Stamp set coming in May! I love bird stamps and this set is so fun!    This one is a little bittersweet as one of the birdies looks so much like my feathered baby Mr. Pickles.   SO I knew I needed this set!   Sadly right after I placed the order, Mr. Pickles passed away while laying an egg.  That's right Mr. Pickles was really a Ms. Pickles and decided to lay an egg after we had had him/her for 9 years!  Well the egg got lodged and sadly that can quickly take your feathered friends! SO Hug your furry and feathered Friends!

  Hey crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a fun card set created with the new, soon to be released Sweet jar Stamp and Punch bundle. This set is so SWEET to play with!  Fill your Jar with candles, hearts, cookies.  So fun to play with!   

Here is my sneak peek #3. a Stamp and punch set! I LOVE PUNCHES! can I say that again... I LOVE PUNCHES! and this one is soo cute. What do you want to fill your jar with? Clover? Hearts? Jelly Beans? Cookies? Candles? My first thought was to take the chips (the little dots above the beans/cookie stamp) and make them into fireflies. SO here is my first creation with this set! I added some stamped trees and stamped the "fireflies" Darling Duckling and Gray Granite. I also added some Lemon Lolly to my jar with my blending brush. The "sending a little --------- your way is from the stamp set. I hijacked the word LIGHT from a retired Christmas stamp set. What do you think??

  Today I am sharing this stunning paper floral bouquet I created with the Stampin' Up! Paper Bouquet Kit  .  I have never created paper flowers before unless you count the Kleenex carnations we made in Girl Scouts.   This kit was so fun to create!   and it matches my new refreshed craft room!   It does recommend using a glue gun and I highly recommend it being the COOL MELT variety! *WINK*WINK* to protect your fingers! 

Today I am off to a local Stampin' Up! event for demonstrators!  My first!   One of the challenges was to create your own name tag (along with Swap cards that I have shared previously)  SO I decided to use my current favorite set the Mixed Florals Stamp Set!  I added a butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies and some die cut letters using the Mini Alphabet Dies. This name tag fits in a 4 x 6 passport sleeve to give you an idea of the size of these stamps!   

  Greetings my crafty friends. I have one last sneak peek this week of the Beautiful Gallery suite.  This is a simple stamped image that looks oh so stunning against the designer paper!  I really love the color combo here and prob ably would have never thought to pair Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon together.  But stunning results! 

 Hey my crafty friends, here is another beautiful card created with the Beautiful Gallery Suite. Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon and a pop of Pretty peacock helps show off this stunning card!   I just love how the flowers colored up with my blends!  Have you added this set to your wish list yet? 

 Hey crafty friends how about a few cards created with the Beautiful Gallery Suite.  The colors in these papers are just so beautiful!  I pretty much just let the paper do the work!   I did stamp and emboss the damask pattern on the card on the right for a more vintage-y feel! And I snuck in the Fancy Borders dies!
