A few new ideas...

A few new ideas : When I hold a workshop, I precut the materials and usually have left overs.. So I like to challenge myself and use other stamps to use the supplies up so they don't go to waste.. so this first card is just that.. It is made using the newest SU Modern Label punch. And I just sponged around the edges to make it stand out, and used stampin dimensionals to hold it out from the card. Trendy Trees stamp set is just darling.. :) Rich Razzleberry is still catching my eye!!


A friend of mine came over to stamp wedding cards, and we came up with these! Using the bigshot embossing folder, Elegant Bouquet- with vellum cardstock, colored with markers, and wha-La! Beautiful! You could use this design for just about any kind of card.. Birthday, simpathy, wedding, Thank you... You name it!

Same idea, just added vanilla hardware :) My thank you to a fabulous hostess :)


Happy Stampin, until next time!!!

From my Stampin Room....

I have been having fun playing with my new stamps, and In Color supplies! Here are a few new samples for you! I had a wonderful little workshop today too, as Always, enjoyed visiting with new people and teaching others about my favorite hobby!!!

My favorite of the new in colors is "Rich Razzleberry" It is just a cool shade of purple!! This first card I used a clear envelope and cut all the seams off, and then cut it in half.. I then used staz on white and black inks to stamp on it, creating my own clear overlay. Added a fab new background paper underneath, and was very pleased with the results! I am also LOVING the new polka dot ribbon! Just the right size, and so cute!!



This card uses an embossing folder, and vellum cardstock! Simple and elegant wedding card!! AND takes no time at all to create!!!

MORE Razzle Berry!!!! There are also LOTS of new background papers that match!! SO fun!!


** Note: Congrats to Kim for winning my open house door prize! She is now the owner of my new favorite purple, rich razzleberry, ink pad!!! Thanks to all the ladies that came to the open house, It was, as always, a pleasure to spend time together!!
