I am...Camper Crazy!

I still cannot put this stamp set away...it is just too fun! It is the Camper Crazy stamp set from Close to My Heart (CTMH). These little campers (it comes with three) are so fun to color. I have been paper piecing them. I also used the Timberline paper pack from CTMH as well.

I  used some sparkles for the "stars" in the sky and created a cute corner banner. It really does remind me of a night out camping!

Cute, right? The set also comes with the tree and cloud images, as well as a few sentiments. 

Here is the inside of the card:

My Friend

For this card, I used the Fresh Prints designer paper and the Happy Watercolor stamp set. The sentiment came from a stamp set called Friendly Phrases and that was cut out using the circles framelits.

I punched the tiny flower with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and added a rhinestone. I used stickles (non-SU!) for the center of the flower for added sparkle!

The little banners were punched out using the banner punch (Sale-A-Bration).

I love the bright colors in this designer paper!

See Ya Later!

Sale-A-Bration ends today! Where has time gone? I was so busy all through Sale-A-Bration this year, I hardly had time to play with any of the freebies! 

For this card, I used the "See Ya Later" stamp set that I got free during Sale-A-Bration. Today is the last day to get your hands on all of the exclusive items. 

I used the "Fresh Prints" designer paper from Stampin' Up! and the circle framelits to quickly cut out the white and red circles. I added a candy dot for a little pop of "sunshine"! 

I don't know how the weather is where you are from, but it has been absolutely gorgeous here! 78 degrees and sunshine-I even got my first sunburn on Saturday....totally unexpected!

Well, I am off to stamp...

Thank you for stopping by!

Best Mate

I made this 5x5 square card using the High Tide designer paper and the Hello, Sailor stamp set. It was the first line of products in the spring mini catalog that caught my eye. I just had to have all of it! I really love the wide ribbon, but I am having a really hard time figuring out how to use it on projects....

I cut the circle and squares with the circles and squares framelits. I added some gold sequins for some bling...because I have a hard time making anything without a little sparkle.

This is a great card to give to that special guy in your life. My Hunny will be receiving this card at some point. I definitely need to get to work and use up all this lovely designer paper!

A Card for Molly Ringwald

I know I am late with this card but here it is...the card I gave Molly Ringwald last weekend! I got to assist Molly during her CD signing after her concert! It was really neat-I've watched her movies my whole life-couldn't believe I got to stand right next to here for an hour or so.

My friend said it would be cool if we gave Molly a card and I had just CASED this card and knew this would be perfect! Thank you Sarah Sagert-I found your similar card on Pinterest and this landed in the hands of Molly Ringwald! I changed mine up a bit and added some gold sequins. (I didn't think I would like these on cards-but obviously I do!)

I used stamped this card using the Petal Parade stamp set. You can get that set FREE during Sale-A-Bration. Click here to view the brochure now!

I created a matching envelope using the super cool Envelope Liner Framelits (Item #132172)-this makes it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating sets! The paper is called Sweet Sorbet and you can also get that for FREE during Sale-A-Bration! It's beautiful paper!

Look how pretty the sparkly envelope is! It is kind of hard to see but both flowers sparkle! I stamped the images onto the envelope and added some stickles for sparkle and then added a Candy Dot-so cute!

I love these soft colors! This stamp set and designer paper are probably my favorite Sale-A-Bration products so far! Be sure to check out all the goodies you can get for free before it's too late!

I don't know what happened, but when ALL of the pictures on my blog were missing this morning! Talk about frustrating-I had to go into every post (thankfully this blog is new) and re-post every single picture! Has anyone ever had this happen? If it happens again-I don't know what I am going to do...any advice is greatly appreciated. Wondering if it is something I need to do with my photo albums...??

Anyways, I am hoping to get back in my stamp room today/tonight. I feel like I have been running circles again. My Hunny left for work this morning-his time home goes by way to quickly! Hoping we can be together ALL the time soon-atleast most of the time anyways.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by! Before I go-here I am with Molly! Can you tell I was excited?

Happy Valentines

I stumbled upon a goldmine of card making videos recently! A fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Connie Stewart, does a series called "Flash Cards". Have you ever heard of them? Wow! If not, you should go to You Tube and search "Connie Stewart Flash Cards" or "Connie Stewart Flash Cards 2.0". She shows a zillion ways to make cards using only two little pieces of cardstock and your card base. So clever! I would've never thought of some of her ideas. 

I cased a few of her cards last night! The card above being one of them. The sentiment is from a retired stamp set. The little hearts are from a new stamp set called "Language of Love". I love it! And those little hearts are easily cut out using the small heart punch. The big, scalloped heart is using a stamp from the "Hearts of Flutter" set and I punched the center heart using the matching framelits.

I have enjoyed watching the Flash Card series. It really gets you to try things that you wouldn't normally think of. I definitely recommend watching them for yourself! 

Supplies Used:

Paper: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Real Red

Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, Language of Love, Wacky Wishes (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Tools: Small Heart Punch, Hearts a Flutter framelits

Pretties: Rhinestone

I love making Valentines cards! I don't know why-I guess it's the hearts! 

I hope you are having a great weekend! I know I am enjoying watching all the good movies they have been showing on TV and stamping! My littles are out of school on Monday so we get a long weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!
