Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I’m going to share a card with you that our “Color Theory” Class made on Wednesday night. What a great night it was … spending an evening stamping with such wonderful people is the main reason I’ve been a demonstrator for over 17 years … Can’t image this business without my stampin’ friends.
Since many of my stampers where at the “Delightful Daisy” class … I thought my first card should be a fun representation of both classes!! I took the designer paper and greeting from the “Color Theory” Class and of course the “Daisy” punch to create our first card …
I thought the pattern with the white lines would compliment the daisy nicely, so that was my choice. The greeting was stamped in Crushed Curry and die cut from the Ovals Collection.
Of course the double punch of the daisy for layering and then embellished with faceted gem and can be colored with a sharpie.
It was a hit with the class, cute -n- simple! Hope you enjoyed it too!
Thanks much for stopping by …
Hope your Friday is awesome and the perfect kick-off to the weekend!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Hope you enjoyed the beautiful day yesterday! I picked up my sister Eileen and escaped for a little day trip to Baraboo! We did the Circus World Museum and the Merrimac Ferry … it was a good day!
Sunday I shared my Daisy card with you and said I would show you how versatile the Delightful Daisy Designer paper could be, well, I teamed it up with the amazing Colorful Seasons bundle from the Color Theory Suite and here is the result …
At first glance at the designer paper I got the feeling of a pretty snowfall … the beautiful new Tranquil Tide color, adds to the softness of a snowfall. Kind of brought me back to the days when I was a kid and loved to watch the snow first fall.
The greeting comes from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and was stamped in Tranquil Tide Ink. It was cut out with one of the oval shapes from the Stitched Framelits dies.
I made the snowflakes from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. When cutting from the Glimmer paper, I cut from the back (not the glittery side) because it cuts through easier. The new Faceted Gems were added to the snowflakes for even more sparkle and texture.
Another simple layout but the outcome is beautiful. With the heat wave that will soon be upon us … the thought of pretty snowflakes might be a little comforting!
Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Stampin’ friends ~
I hope you are having a beautiful day … Sunday’s are always a favorite of mine, they just seems to be more relaxing.
Yesterday I shared a card from the Delightful Daisy bundle, and although the bundle is not available at this time, there are plenty of other goodies in this product suite that you can play with.
Today we are going to see more of the Designer Series paper. The Delightful Daisy Designer paper has so many beautiful patterns that can be used year round (You’ll see what I mean tomorrow!).
This beautiful patterned paper with the big yellow daisies create the perfect background for a quick -n- easy card. I teamed up the paper with the Label Me Pretty bundle. This is another new bundle that can be used for so many different projects.
I tucked a strip of the new Old Olive Mimi Chevron ribbon … you will find this in the Color Theory Suite. So many of the new stamp sets and product suites coordinate so nicely together!
Well I’m off so you can enjoy your Sunday … thank you for sharing part of yours with me.
See you tomorrow ~
TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I have a simply beautiful card to share with you. This is just one of the cards we made in my Delightful Daisy class… Simple yes, but oh so pretty …
The beautiful background was created with the new Layered Leaves Dynamic Impressions Folder. I love how this folder creates so much texture and depth to your card. It’s best to give it a little spritz of water to soften the fibers in the cardstock … it will give you the deepest impression.
Our daisy was inked, then stamped off with the delicate color; Pool Party. I wanted the softest look of the stamped image … then we gently sponged a little more Pool Party in the center of the daisy.
The nearly white daisy with the touch of Pool Party really makes your flower POP against the Always Artichoke background. We finished off the daisy with one of the new clear Faceted Gems. My class attendees will get the Faceted Gems FREE with their purchase of the class bundle!
Our greeting was simple as well … a Thank You from the Daisy Delight stamp set (The bundle is currently unavailable to order, but should be back around August 1st).
This was a popular one in class, one comment was “This is so pretty and easy to make … I could make a ton of these!”
So I hope you enjoyed todays card as much as we did, and I THANK YOU for stopping by today!
Enjoy your Saturday ~

Hello Stampin Friends ~
Today I’m going to share with you a card from our “Carols of Christmas” stamp set that will be available to our stampin’ friends as an early release on August 1st.
Demonstrators have been able to pre-order this set since the 1st of July so we can prepare great samples / classes for you… mine is on it’s way!
This is a perfect card when you want to step it up a bit with die cuts but not have to spend all day on one card. I would cut my trees and greeting out at the same time!
The greeting itself is done simply by coloring the stamp with the colors you want and then stamp. A little strip of glimmer paper and a bow out of bakers twine and you’re done!!
My initial “Carols of Christmas” Class has already filled but I would be happy to schedule a second class for those who are interested.
Thanks for stopping in to see me today.
Have a wonderful day ~
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
For a short work week, it sure did a toll on me … I’m wiped out! BUT … when I start putting together everything for my upcoming class, I get a renewed energy! I look forward to creating with my stamping friends!
Till then … I’m sharing something else that brings me joy and happiness, my grandchildren! Well two of them anyway (I have 12) these are the two littlest ~
Miss Lori … she’s two and ready to be the boss. She is a free spirit and loves to explore!
Then we have little Lily … just turned one last month! She’s more on the quiet side but watches and listens to everything.
I bought these little outfits for their birthdays and they were in heaven when their mama finally put them on! It maybe a weekly outfit …if not more!
Oh yes … they were watching the 4th of July parade I our hometown. Well at least Lori was …lol
Thank you for sharing a part of your day with me. I’ll be back tomorrow with my Simply Sunday post.
