Flower Pot Card

At the April Stamp Club, we created this cute flower pot card. It was very simple to make and would brighten up anyone's day.

This card uses Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, and Melon Mambo cs. The first 3 colours will be gone at the end of June. The flowers are punched out using the 5-petal flower punch and the 1/2" circle punch.

The flowers are attached to a piece of cardstock that fits inside the flower pot and can then be pulled out with your greeting.

Paper Flowers

I guess I forgot to post this card from my March Stamp Club. We created the flower out of a strip of cardstock. Who would have thought you could make flowers out of cardstock! The leaves are punched from the Two-Step Bird punch which is found in the Occasions mini. The dsp on the bottom is from the Sweet Pea dsp which is also in the Occasions mini. The Occasions mini ends on April 30 so if there is anything you want from it, let me know asap. Also don't forget about the colours that are retiring June 30.

I am so excited...

because first of all, I got chosen out of hundreds of demonstrators to be a Make & Take helper for Stampin' Up!s convention this summer in Salt Lake City, Utah!!!! I have my hotel and flight booked and I got to register today, which is a day earlier than all the other demonstrators, for convention. I am sooo excited to go and don't know how I will be able to wait until July 20 when I leave. I will come back with tons of inspiration, motivation, and fabulous new ideas to share with you. It will be a packed 4 days of excitement. If you would like the opportunity to join me at convention on my team, contact me today to learn about the other perks of becoming a demonstrator and you will also receive 2 free workshop wow dvd's.

On another note, Stampin' Up! is offering you the opportunity to purchase a brand new stamp set called Awash with Flowers that will be in the new catalogue. To view more details, click on the picture.

The Colour Renovation

Stampin' Up! has released some exciting news. They have re-vamped the colours they will carry. We're ditching some outdated colours, adding some brand-new colours, and bringing back some of the past In Colours as well as reorganizing the colour families!

I am sad about the colours that didn't make the cut as seen above, I really love the new colours and the returning In Colours. So feel free to stock up and hoard these retiring colours for future use - Stampin' Up! will continue to fill orders until the end of June.

The new colour collections will be Brights, Regals, Neutrals, Subtles. We are going to have 40 core colours plus new In Colours. The In Colours from this year that are being added to the collection are Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo. The returning In Colours from previous years are: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Pink Pirouette, RidingHood Red, Wild Wasabi, River Rock, and Baja Breeze.

Also, Kraft is being renamed to Crumb Cake and we will now be able to get it in a Classic Ink Pad and Marker!!!

Last Chance

to place a $65 order and receive a FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. I will be placing the last order on Wednesday night at 8pm.

Carrot Box

At our stamp club night earlier this month we made this cute and easy treat box. It uses a template to create a triangle box. It is hard to see in the picture, but we stamped a pattern from Itty Bitty Backgrounds onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock using versamark first. We then stamped the little rabbit from the level 2 hostess set in the Occasions mini and punched it out using the scallop square punch. We punched 3 holes in the top and added Old Olive grosgrain ribbon to look like the top of the carrot. I hope you like it!
If you would like to know more about my stamp club, email me and I can fill you in. We always have lots of fun!
