Daisey #2

Good morning. We had a very nice rain over night that will really make the garden grow. Today is still cloudy and cool so I will be stamping and having fun.

This is another card we made in class this month. I am sad to say that the Daisy #2 die is being retired in May. It is such a cool looking flower as you can see.

There are so many stamp sets and accessories retiring and you really need to check out the list. If there is anything you want to purchase you need to do it as soon as possible as everything will be selling fast. Stamp sets can be purchased through the 31st of May but accessories are only available as long as the supply last.

 I am really looking forward to the new catalog and all the new products that are coming out. Our stamp pads are not retiring however they will be revamping them and making them better than ever. Also the markers are not retiring there are just some that won't be sold individual any more. Just a lot of info to take in and digest. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

After Thoughts

The rain has gone for a day but will be back again tonight. So many storms coming off the ocean. Anyway, we have sunshine for a while and it's better than snow. Our local mountains have snow above 5000 ft and it looks so pretty up there, 40 miles away. At least I don't have to drive in it.

Here is another card from this month's card class. This was one of the favorites.







I started with a Whisper White card 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I then layered a piece of Pear Pizzazz 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". Next is a layer 4" x 5 1/4"of the new DSP called Paisley Petals that becomes available to purchase in April only and not again until July 1st. It is awesome!! I tied a piece of 5/8" Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon around those two layers together and used adhesive to put them on the card front. Next I cut a piece of Pear Pizzazz 2 3/8" x 3 3/8" and layered it with Whisper White 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". I stamped the sentiment with Rose Red ink. The flowers were punched with the Boho Blossoms Punch and the leaves are punched with the small leaf from the new Blossom Petal Punch. The top layers are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals, the flowers and leaves with glue dots. I finished off the flowers with Basic Rhinestones.

Hope you like this as much as my card class ladies did and that it inspires you to make one also.

Thanks for stoppin in and I'll see you again soon.

Build A Blossom

Wow! What a week this has been. Our grandson and girl friend have been here from Michigan since Tuesday and we have had a fun week. On Wednesday we went to see the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. That is something to see. Anyway, today I decided I had to get back to business since I have a workshop tomorrow at 1p.m.

This is my first card using this set and I think I am going to love it! I also used the new DSP that customers can order in April. I know I love it. I ordered the maximum we could pre-order, 3 packages and I will be using them a lot.

Stamp Sets: Build a Blossom, Bliss and After Thoughts

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla and Paisley Petals DSP

Ink: Always Artichoke and River Rock

Thanks for stoppin in! Hope to see you again real soon.

Just Believe

I just can't get enough of this stamp set. I think it will be my favorite for a while. It is just so simple and nice.

My ladies had a great time yesterday. I had two who were first time stampers and they loved it. My regular lady is just the greatest and she is such a joy to have at class. We all got to meet new people and we just had fun!

This is one of the eight cards that we made.

Supplies used were: Pear Pizzazz , Blushing Bride and Whisper White cardstock, Just Believe stamp set, Lap of Luxury DSP, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Grey ink, Basic Pearls, Boho Blossoms punch and Blushing Bride 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon, snail adheshive, mini glue dots and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Clean and simple but very nice.

Thanks for stoppin and hope to see you soon.

Hugs,

June
