Creating sure is messy!

 You have seen this but this one is mine.  I coppied it from a swap and so I thought I'd show you my version.. YEP looks just like the other one.  Hope the girls like making this one.  I have punched out all the circles for them so they just have to have fun and put them together

 Why is creating SOOOOO Messy?  There was no spot to stamp!  So before I started cutting cardstock for Card Club I had to clean this MESS up!  Geeze... I'll send out a cleaned up view..

 This set is one of the FREE ones you can get with your $50 purchase.  Engraved Greetings.  It's a set of two.  The girls can choose which version they want to make.  Don't know why I waited so long to get this set....OH yeah  probably cause I got it for FREE.  Look real hard and you will see the little pearls I put at the top and bottom of the image.

THis ones shows off four of our embossing folders.  It also showcases another Set Punch a bunch that you can get during Sale-a-bration.  I pulled out an oldie but goodie for the bottom.  Love the Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz together, added the pear pizzazz seambinding ribbon a little linen thread and what a cute card.  Thanks for stopping by, and If I can help you with any projects let me know.  (and if you want to come over and help me clean up that mess feel free)

More to share

 These somehow were uploaded not in order, but I'm sure you can figure out which ones are the same but different views.  If you picked the one on the top and the one on the bottom you are correct....lol.  I love this 3x3 card that was one of the make and takes the girls did at the Branson Regional.  The stamp was inked with the markers and stamped twice but one at a lower level to create this look.   The flower is one of our rosette that was inked with a marker and then moved the color around with the aqua painter..  Very Pretty!

 Now this middle one is just stunning in the color combo!  Gina Demo from Paducah bought this to share.  She did mention that the black ribbon has retired but any black ribbon would make this POP.  She shared that the Poppy Parade, Daffodil delight, and Celery is one of her Favorite color combo's.  I was in a store the other day and all the new spring line for out door furniture and such was this very combo!  It is just stunning.

great ideas shared!

 Following on with the swaps that were shared with me From Branson.  I love this look!  Love how the 5 petal punch flower looks when you use SU's amazing two ply cardstock and separate it to get this suede look.

Front of card 

 This is a great fold.  This was Shared by Gina!  What a Beautiful Mother's day card and an interesting fold.  I layed this on the gid paper so you can see where the folds and scores are.Try one and send it to me... I'll shoot you one back.

Friends and Fun

 Each Month I hold an event at my home, "Stamp Camp"  There are 6 projects and good conversation and yummy snacks, and Valet Parking!  Thought I'd post some of the girls that attend and the awesome job my Husband Darrell does parking the cars!  It's quite an art he has going that no matter what time you come or when you leave you can get in and out with no worries!

 These two samples below are two more of the swaps that were shared from the Branson Mo Regional.  I love how this one with the circles became inlayed.  The Circles that were punched from our amazing punches were glued on and then ran through the big shot using the embossing folders to create this amazing background.  Also love the color combo here.. Who would have thought that Gray, celery, pumpkin and grape would look so good together..  Another one I'll be using to share with my girls at my classes

Nice job on the St Patricks day card.(if this was your swap and you see it here please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due!  We used this one at camp but not this cards so here's another use of that stamp.

Shared Samples from Demo meeting

 These two Easter projects were made by Donna Miller.  She bought these to share with our group of Demonstrators that gather each month.  She had mentioned that she got the ideas from sources that "Us" demo have access to when we joined Stampin up.  It is great that we can share ideas, and Now I'm sharing them with you.  The Bunny's body is a cello bag filled with candy and the head and feet are then attached to create the bunny treat.  I just Love it.  The Easter Basket is made with the Big Shot die scallop oval, which is actually two dies in one.  Eggs are made by the oval punches... I'll be copping these myself to share with some of you that attend my classes!

 This card was a swap from the Branson MO regional.  I didn't attend but some of my girls did and so I failed to get the name of the girl that created this.  The flower is stamped on vellum cardstock and punched with the petal punch in the mini catalog.  This is just beautiful!

This card (another one from Branson) was actually awarded "best of show".  Again I didn't get the name of the girl in fact this one didn't have a name on the back.  (fyi, if you make swaps to share it is more fun to look on the back and see who did them and where you are from)
I'll share more soon...

White Gel Pen...Do you own one?

This card was one of the projects we did at Stamp Camp, and the idea originated from a Swap that Mom received from the Branson Regionals.  I changed it up a bit and made it my own.  The White Gel pen is what is used to color in the white on the blossoms.  It's a great product to have...

Creating your own designer paper

 Today was spent in my stamp room (mostly Playing) creating the projects for Stamp Camp this Saturday.  I usually spend sometimes days looking at all the samples that are on sites to get that creative juices flowing.  Some times it's easier than others.  But once it starts... It seems I can't quit!  I love that.  Above is where I've placed three of the clear mount stamps  from the "Nature Walk" stamp Set to create my own designer paper.

 Here is how it turned out.  It was easy!  The images are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.  The Bird cage is stamped in Early Espresso  to give that contrast look, and then I cut it out with our wonderful paper snips!  I applied it with some Stamping dimensional so that it pops out.  Colors I chose are Early Espresso , Not quite Navy and Natural Ivory.  Light sponging around the edges and layered on top of the textured Vintage wallpaper design that was created with my Big Shot and the embossing folder.

I'm hoping everyone will enjoy making this card and want to try making their own collage to create their own designer paper.  This stamp set is in our current Mini catalog which is available through the end of April, I suggest you add it to your collection.
