Oh Betsy!

I got some new stamping goodies on Friday and haven't had a chance to play with them until today!  At first, when I saw this set I didn't love it but after I saw what some of the more creative people had done with it I fell in love as well.

I used a base card of whisper white, my big flower was stamped in rich razzleberry ink, then the little flowers were stamped in baja breeze.  The DSP comes from a new pack called Floral District and the ribbon is also new.  It is the 1/4" stitched grosgrain in daffodil delight.  The "make a wish" stamp is from a set called a little birthday cheer and the square behind it is from an embosslits die called "Thanks."  I just used my stamp set and the modern label punch to change the phrase.  The embosslits die was from the clearance rack.

The new catalog will be available June 1st.  If you haven't ordered from me in the last year you can purchase the catalog for $5 or place a $25 order and get it free.  If you have ordered in the last year you will be getting your catalog soon!

You can always e-mail me with questions or shop on my website!

Beautiful Day!

It is an absolutely beautiful day in MN... last I checked it was 79 degrees!  I figured with my excitement for the new catalog and the beautiful weather that a bright, cheery card was in order.

For the base card I used calypso coral which is a 2011-2013 in color.  The DSP is from the new catalog and will be available June 1st.  It is called Floral District.  I just layered different prints from the DSP to get a look that I wanted.  The rich razzleberry layer was punched with the scallop edge border punch.  The pretty ribbon will be available June 1st as well and it is 1/4 inch stitched grosgrain ribbon in daffodil delight.  I also used the 3/16 inch corner punch on my DSP.  The cut-out for the saying is from the Framelits Bitty Banners for the Big Shot.

The saying "you inspire me." is from a hostess set and is still currently available.  Would you like to earn this set before it retires?  You can do so by hosting a workshop or a book party.   Just e-mail me if you're interested.

Well, I'm off to enjoy the beautiful weather with my boys...
