This is a cute Easter treat you can make easily.  I cut the topper with the Top Note Die folded in half and stapled to a cello bag filled with jelly beans.  The eggs were made by punching out white card stock with the Extra-Large Oval punch.  The stripes on the eggs were made by punching out designer paper with the Scallop Oval and then punched again with the large Oval to form a lacy edge which was cut in half and adhered to one end of the egg with adhesive.  Quick and easy Easter treat for the little ones or they make a nice party treat for adults!

Introducing Photopolymer Stamps!

 
We're excited to let you know that we're introducing a new photopolymer stamp. What is this, you wonder? Well, it's a type of stamp where the actual stamp image is clear in addition to the block.
We're starting off with one stamp set and we plan to offer a new one each month on a trial basis. We now offer options for every stamper: wood-mount, clear-mount, and now photopolymer. Excited?
Read up on other cool features and all you need to know about our photopolymer stamps here.

Stampin Up Convention!





I had to share some pictures from previous Stampin Up National Conventions because we are getting ready to book our flights and register for Convention 2013.  I have to say it's a blast spending time with thousands of stampers across the country and beyond for several days.  We get to stamp and learn lots of new techniques.  Lots of laughs and party time too!  If you sign up to become a demonstrator soon you too could be a part of this great group.  Join my Team!

St. Patty's Day Card 


I made this card without the use of any shamrock or other St. Patrick's Day Stamps! The greeting was from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I used whisper white card stock for the base of the card.  I cut another layer of white and ran through the Big Shot with theFramed Tulip Folder embossing folder which provides a frame for the shamrock.  The shamrock was made of designer series paper and card stock cut with a large and small heart from the Hearts Collection Framelits again using the Big Shot. I used my white gel pen to put a border around the edges of the green card stock and layered on the larger heart with adhesive.  The stem of the shamrock is a piece of green ribbon.

These little calendars are a cute and easy project using fiber coasters and little pads of calendars.  I embossed the card stock at the top and used a coordinating designer series paper for the bottom half. I used the corner rounder punch on the four outer corners. The flower was made by punching 5 flower punches out of dsp, Crumble each flower and use a brad to attach and form into a flower. If you spritz the paper first with water it makes crumpling easier.  Adhere coordinating ribbon to cover the seam between the cs and dsp, attach the calendar and place magnets on the back to made a refrigerator magnet.  They make quick gifts for teachers, hair dressers, etc.
