Build a Blossom

I love this stamp set.  There are so many different things you can do with this stamp set.  A customer asked about this card that was made with Build a Blossom and Inspire by Nature. 

Christmas Cards

I had a customer stop by on Saturday afternoon and she wanted to make Christmas Cards.  Do you remember these from last year?  Some of these were made with some of the Designer Series Paper from last year.  This is a great design to use up your designer series paper.  In August Stampin UP will be offering Buy 3 Designer Series Paper and Get One Free!  Get with a Friend and combine your deals!

3X3 Cards

I decided to take the great buys from my Grab Bag and make something with it.  You can see some of my ideas I came up with.

 I used some of the awesome new Designer Series Paper in the new catalog with this card.

 Newsprint Designer Series Paper and the Wing It Embosslits

 Nature Walk Stamp set and Versamark for the tone on tone look. 

Happy July!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  Last weekend my son and I went to visit the Blueberry Farm.  It was fun for me.  Now I have plenty of fresh blueberries in my freezer.  Stampin UP has recently changed their hostess benefits.  We no longer have levels for hostess benefits.  Now you will receive a credit with Stampin Up and there are certain stamps that you will be able to purchase.  All the details are listed in the new catalog.  If you haven't ordered yours please give me a call or drop me an email.  If you order from me before the end of July you will also receive special coupons that you will be eligible to use each month.  



Have you missed some classes recently?  Get some of your friends together and we can meet at my apartment either in the evening or on a Saturday afternoon.  I love small groups.  Enjoy your summer!

Christy & Sandy

Serene Sunflowers

This is a stamp set from many catalogs ago from Stampin UP.  I love this stamp set.  My kids had sleepovers tonight so I pulled it out and went to town.  I had so much fun designing these cards.  I hope you enjoy!

Here is another way to use the Serene Sunflowers as an Anything But a Card project.   I also used My Design Studio for the Sandy strip.  

Build a Blossom

How many candles do you need?  Another great way to use the Build a Blossom stamp and punch set. 

Build a Blossom

I made my own version of the pull out card similar to the one I received in the technique swap.  I have two different designs.  I used the Build a Blossom Punch and stamp set.  The first one also uses some of the designer series paper that will be featured in the new catalog coming out next month.  Want to make one of these cards?  Come visit me at my next class on June 25th at North Bay Haven.  I will be holding my class at the Scrapbook Crop I am holding. 

Above you will see some of the smaller flowers with the Build a Blossom Stamp Set.  I hope you enjoy!
