Sorry I missed you yesterday … just been feeling a little down lately but stamping and hanging out with my stampin’ friends usually gets me feeling better, so I’m back! So today I’d like to share two cards with you from the “Hey Girlfriend” stamp set! This set is so fun and versatile you are going to fall in love with it.
My first card highlights one of the “girlfriends” and two designer series paper; the lovely True Love Designer Series paper from the “Love You Always” suite, the Oval Occasions Bundle and the “Oh So Ombre” from the Sale-a-bration Catalog that you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase! It is one of the TOP 3 Customer Picks!!
The Love you Always designer paper is the backdrop to the card … those cute little polka dots really add an element of FUN to the card. The Oh So Ombre designer paper not only gives us our pop of color (Bermuda Bay) but because of the fading effect, we can stamp our greeting on there too!
Our first “girlfriend” is stamped on Basic White with our Momento Ink and colored in with the Stampin’ Blends. I have listed the colors below. They are so easy to use when coloring on your images because of the two shades that blend so effortlessly together … and I always have the color lifter by my side so I can pull some color up if needed and make those highlights pop! I finished off her outfit by adding a touch of my Wink of Stella to her top and the bow in her hair. Then added a touch of bling (because what girls doesn’t like a little bling) to the card with some Elegant Faceted Gems.
My second “girlfriend” also used the Oh So Ombre designer series paper, not only for the background … but for her dress! I just stamped her onto the designer paper and then cut out the dress. How fun is that!! The Oh So Ombre is Granny Apple Green and I teamed it up with Flirty Flamingo to really say “WOW”!! Girls love those fun bright colors.
Our girlfriend was stamped on Basic White with Momento Ink and cut out with the Rectangle Stitched dies. She too is colored with the Stampin’ Blends. These sweet girlfriends are so cute and fun to stamp with, and my favorite part is that they can be any nationality! My real friends come in all colors, so my cards reflect that … The world is full of beautiful people in every shade of color … let’s celebrate that.
The greeting comes from our Hey Girlfriend stamp set and was punched out using the the Oval Occasions punches. Add a bow and your card is complete! I had so much fun playing with this set, you are sure to see even more of these from me!
I brought in the “Oval Occasions” bundle to compliment my cards today …
First, the “So Lucky to Know You” greeting from my first “girlfriend” card came for the Oval Occasions stamp set, and the Double Oval punch was used on my second “girlfriend” card to punch out and highlight the greeting.
Cool right! I did this because … When you purchase the Hey Girlfriend stamp set, the True Love Designer Paper, and the Oval Occasions bundle you have more than enough to get your Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper for FREE!!
Thank you for joining me today, I hope you have a great day!

Let me share a fun technique I used for my card … See the “big polka dots” paper just above us? Yep … I punch my hearts from the Designer paper and then stamped my greeting onto it.

The base of my card is Soft Seafoam and my greeting was stamped in Night of Navy which coordinates with the colors in our designer series paper.
Don’t you think that the font of my greeting fits perfectly with the whimsical pattern of our designer paper. I used the Old World Map embossing folder to add a bit more texture and completed my card with the White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon. I think this turned out just so stinkin’ cute!!

Today I have another card from the Well Suited Suite and as I got ready to take the pictures to share with you, I kept thinking of the song “Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top! We’ve checked out the ties and today we are going to “suit up” our card.
I picked out two patterns from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper; one that reminded me of tweed and the other is paisley! That is how I started …
Your card base begins as any other; 8-1/2″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ … fold in half and your ready to dress your card. I took the “tweed” pattern paper and with the coordinating dies, cut out the suit. You get the suit and lapels.
The shirt consists of the White card base and the die cut collar … it is so easy to create. HOWEVER, before you adhere down the suit, you need tuck the tie under the collar and and suit. I just love that paisley tie!! You could add a pocket, buttons and more to dress up your card, the dies have them all.
My greeting comes from the Handsomely Suited stamp set that is include in the suite, and bundle. I cut it out with the Shaped Stitched dies … one of my favorite die sets because it has 3 different shapes, the circle, oval and square dies.
Hope you enjoyed today’s card, and I thank you for checking out my blog today.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and if you were cheering on one of the Championship games, I hope your team won!! Today I’m going to step up the simply stamped card that I shared with you yesterday.
I am using the same basic layout but instead of stamping the ties on the white cardstock, I brought in the designer paper ….
First, I used a simple yet masculine design from the Well Suited Designer Series paper as my background, and then using 3 other patterns of designer paper … I cut out my ties with the coordinating tie dies! It’s so much fun pick patterns and make your own ties! I felt like I could sew again … LOL!!!
I attached my handsome ties directly to my card front and then focused on my greeting. My color pallet of Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Basic White is the same as yesterday ….
I stamped my “birthday” greeting which is included in the bundle in Merry Merlot and punched out with the Tailored Tag punch. Then you punch out another tag from the Merry Merlot cardstock …. cut it in half the long way and then attach to the top and bottom of your stamped image, this creates a pop of color behind your greeting and once popped up with dimensionals, really highlights your birthday wish to your favorite guy.
If you want to add this amazing bundle to your stamping collection, now is a great time because we are right in the middle of our Sale-a-bration period … With a $50 purchase you can choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. Here is one that I think would compliment the Handsomely Suited Bundle …
Thank you for joining me again today, how are you liking this suite so far? I’ve got another for you tomorrow!
Have yourself a great day!

Happy Sunday to you! I hope you got the chance to see all my cards created from the Ice Cream Corner suite. Today I’m going from yummy to masculine as I kick off a series of cards created from the Well Suited Suite which can be found on page 66 and 67 of the Mini Catalog.
The suite includes the Handsomely Suited Stamp set, Suite & Ties Dies, Well Suited Designer Paper and the Well Suited Twine ….
Today we are just using simply; stamps * ink * paper! Isn’t this how the whole “stamping” thing got started? My color pallet will be Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Basic White … masculine. I started with my base in Night of Navy and my mat in Merry Merlot and my Basic White to stamp on, and I choose the ties!
The ties with the diamond shapes are stamped in Night of Navy and the one with the stripes was stamped in Merry Merlot … they are pretty easy to line up but you can always use your Stamparatus if you want it perfect. I started with the Merry Merlot tie in the center and then stamped the two in Night of Navy.
The greeting was stamped on a piece of scrap that I had lying around and fit it well, and then I added some Night of Navy to mat the greeting.
Such a nice masculine card that is easy to make! There is also a birthday greeting in the stamp set and a few others so you can send many masculine cards throughout the year.
Thank you for stopping by this Sunday, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see how I step up this card!

There is nothing better than sprinkles on ice cream or inside your “Shaker Card” … and that is what I have for you today! The Shaker card was a hit at my house, my grandkids like to pick out the cards I should send them … lol!! I like to surprise them ❤
I used the Ice Cream Corner Designer paper as my background and to punch out my Ice Cream Cone …
The background is from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper … I picked the sprinkle design. I cut my window out of the Bermuda Bay using the Rectangle Layered Dies, and then attached the window sheet to the back. Once the window sheet is attached I used the Adhesive Strips to create the height needed for the “shaker”.
You have the greeting stamped … I used the “Happy Birthday” from the bundle and then sprinkled my “Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles” onto the greeting and laid the window sheet assembly on top. With a little adhesive, I attached the “shaker” to the card.
I punched out the Ice Cream and the Cone from the Designer paper!! It was designed to make creating your cones easier!! I attached it directly to the “shaker”…
Easy to see why this fun shaker card was a hit!! And another sample for you made with the Sweet Ice Cream bundle!
Thanks much for hanging out with me today, I hope you have a good one!

Are you ready for some Friday Fun?? Yesterday I introduced you to the Ice Cream Corner Suite, today I’d like to show you even more fun with this suite. And make sure you come back on Saturday as I’ll top off this Ice Cream party with a cherry on top … or should I say “sprinkles”!
Let’s begin with the card I shared during my Launch Party ….
Simple and cute, and it’s the perfect way to make many cards quickly! I love to work in quarters … or in the case of a 12 x 12 sheet of designer paper – 6ths! You can cut it in half and then cut the 1/2 into 4″ pieces. You will now end up with 6 – 4″ x 6″ pieces of designer paper.
I trimmed this one down to 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of designer paper … then I matted it with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock measuring at 4″ x 5-1/4″. This is the most common layout for cards. My greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and stamped in Blackberry Bliss. It was die cut from the Rectangle Layering Dies.
I have another quick -n- easy layout for you that requires no cutting (after your original cut of 4″ x 6″) …
This yummy little card was super easy to create … simply score your designer paper at 3/4″ and fold over onto the preferred design, on this card it is the popsicles! The Blackberry Bliss ribbon covers the bare edge of the folded piece and adds a fun touch of texture.
My greeting comes from two stamp sets; the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Well Said from the Annual Catalog and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss (also sounds yummy!). The Tailored Tag punch was used to highlight the greeting … and the Opal Rounds were colored with the Stampin’ Blends and placed on the card to create some sparkly fun!!
There is so much you can create with this suite and we haven’t even touched the top of the cone yet!! I still have so much more to share, and to show you what you can do with the stamp set!
Thank you for joining me today and checking out my blog, it you like what you see … give me a LIKE at the bottom of the page. You can purchase this suite, bundle or other products by clicking on any of the images below. And stay tuned for more “Ice Cream” shares!

From Hearts to Ice Cream Cones but still playing with the Punch Party Stamp set. This time I’m using the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper from the Ice Cream Corner Suite on pages 48 and 49 in the Jan-June Mini Catalog.
I love the splash of color you get from all the Ice Cream cones on this designer paper … there are so many cute patterns, I’ll be sure to share more with you. The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay and punched out Double Oval punches; they are one of the “punch” sets that this stamp set was designed to use.
I brought out the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon from our annual catalog …
The Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon brings out the little “dots” sprinkled around the cones on the paper. They also highlight the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles that I glued onto my greeting.
The greeting was popped up with dimensionals …
The 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base is Bermuda Bay, and the designer paper is cut at 5-1/4″ x 4″ to allow an nice border around it. I just used left overs to stamp the greeting on and then punched it out. This was one of the fun cards I demonstrated during my Mini Catalog & Sale-a-bration Launch party … I have more to come, especially with the Ice Cream Corner Suite – it’s colorful, fun and tasty enough to eat!!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card, feel free to Like or Comment!

Today I have two techniques in one card for you; the Chalkboard technique and the “Coloring Embossed Images” … and together they just pop off the page! This is the card I created for my technique Tuesday LIVE last night, but I have a surprise … I have the other card that I suggested on the video! I am using the PUNCH PARTY stamp set again.
Kick back for a moment and watch the video (only about 20-25minutes) …
Such fun and easy techniques that together really make the card pop. The second card that you see is using the technique of coloring the “mat” multiple colors … I think it turned out pretty good. I just ran the Stampin’ Blends around the edge of the mat and then I ran the “Color Lifter” over it all to lighten and blend the colors together better.
Before placing the heart down onto the card, I wrapped some of the Bakers Twine from the “Snailed It” suite just to added a little extra texture and fun to the card. I really do like how the multicolored “mat” turned out… it draws your eye all around the card!
I hope you enjoyed today’s technique share and that you give it a try! It really is as easy as it looks, and you end up with a colorful FUN Card!
Thank you so much for joining me today, I’d love to hear what you think about these two techniques.
Have yourself a day that “makes your heart happy” ~

I am back today with a sweet card I made during my “Catalogs Launch” Party this weekend. I’d like to THANK all of you who joined me, I had an amazing weekend connecting with you again. And … Bingo was a blast!!
My card today was designed from the “Punch Party” stamp set. This exclusive stamp set is available to Hostesses who have a $300 in party sales / or self purchase and is only available thru the end of February. I do Facebook parties and can set up a private group for you and your friends! Then I will do LIVE demonstrations of products, plus you’ll see new products and videos and … GAMES!!

Let me know if you are interested in doing a Facebook Stampin’ Party…. I’m ready when you are 🙂
Now, let’s get back to our card. Just got a little excited again thinking about another party!
The designer paper here is the TRUE LOVE Designer Paper from the Love You Always Suite found on page 11 of the Jan-June Mini Catalog … each piece is 2″ x 5-1/4″. I added a 3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic Black to finish off the edge between the two pieces and to make the greeting “POP” once in place.
The greeting was stamped twice with Momento Ink on our Basic White cardstock and then cut out using the dies from the Tasteful Labels Dies … they actually compliment the stamp set well.
I colored the heart and the edge of the stamped image with the Dark Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blend … the heart was popped up, and the entire greeting was adorned with the Pastel Pearls to anchor the design. This all adds just the right amount of dimension and texture to the card.
Was a great time sharing all the different suites, papers and stamp sets with everyone this past weekend. You will get so see some of the cards created in the up coming days.
Thank you so much for coming back to visit after my absence. You’ll be pleased with the upcoming projects.
