Thank You Card

Hello my Stampin Friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend.

Today I would like to share with you this Thank You card I made. 

                        

This card was inspired by one of the cards in the annual catalog just slightly different. One of the many reasons why I love the annual catalog. Not only does it showcase all the awesome goodies Stampin Up! has to offer but it's also filled with marvelous ideas which equals WINNING! 

I really like the color combo on this one and I love how the pearls give this card a little pop! 

Some of you may or may not know that I belong to the FAMOUS Inking Everything Family. Yes the one with my fabulous upline Becky Roberts. You know the stamper who makes those amazing paper purses. Well we have a birthday list and a couple of nice team members made me a birthday card. This thank you card is what I made them. Unfortunately one card did not have a return address. I'm hoping that she may stop by and see this card. Fingers crossed people!

One more thing I would like to mention. 

The new Holiday Catalog is almost here! I can't begin to tell you how AMAZING it is. I literally was like " Just take money already" as I was looking through it. I want it all and have a huge wish list. Yes us Stampin' Up demonstrators have wish lists too! Lucky for me I was able to order some new goodies Just one of the many perks of being a Stampin Up! demonstrator. I will be showcasing some stuff this week so check back soon! If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a copy please contact me. I would love to send one out to you. 

                                    

Thank You for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous day, even though it's a Monday. We can do this peeps! 

Happy Stampin!

Hello Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this card I made. 

This card was a spur of the moment kind of card. I had actually made the flower tag to use on something else I was working on. Only problem was I lost it. Yup somehow this tag got lost! I looked everywhere for it and no dice. It was gone. Fast forward to last night. I was cleaning up my work space and boom found it. So instead of cleaning I decided to play and made this card. Winning! 

Hope you enjoyed this post today. 

Till next time peeps!

Paper Pumpkin Thank You Cards

Hello My Stampin' Friends. Happy Saturday!

Today I would like to share with you some thank you cards I made for my new Paper Pumpkin Subscribers.

I was playing around with the new swirly scribbles thinlits and I saw that the big swirly die kind of looks like a pumpkin. So naturally I had to make a paper pumpkin card.

I added some wink of Stella to give it a little shine. So pretty!

Here is the other thank you card I made.

One of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being able to purchase this paper pumpkin stamp set. It debuted at convention (another perk for being a SU demonstrator) and I knew I had to have it. Its nice to have a paper pumpkin stamp to make thank you cards!

I just recently received a new member to my paper pumpkin family which I like to call my pumpkin patch. I sent her this Thank You Kit.

How cute is the paper pumpkin button? I was able to get 2 of these buttons.  I have one more button like this left. Would like a thank you kit like this? All you have to do is  join my paper pumpkin patch and subscribe to paper pumpkin. I would love for you to join!

I also have 2 of these Thank You kits as well.

There are 2 ways to subscribe.

The first way is a prepaid subscription.  You can try it for 1 month to see if you like it or there is a 3, 6 and 12 month subscription. With the 6 month subscription you save $1 per month and with the 12 month subscription you save $2 per month!

Or you can pay as you go with a montly subscription.  Either way there are some extra perks for subscribers.

To subscribe to paper pumpkin please visit my paper pumpkin page HERE or to order a prepaid subscription please visit my ONLINE STORE.

Thank You for stopping by peeps. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

Happy Stampin'!

Minnie Thank You Card

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this thank you card I made for my neighbor/ friend. She LOVES Disney. She just went to the happiest place on earth and she was so sweet to think about me and my little family and brought us back a yummy Minnie caramel apple and some delicious Mickey and Minnie chocolate covered marshmallows!

Naturally I had to make a Disney theme thank you card!

I made this card using my FAVORITE tool the big shot and the new swirly scribbles thinlits dies.

I just used my paper snipes to snip off the little leaves.

I then brushed some wink of Stella over my swirls to give them a little shine.

The bow I made using the bow builder punch. I also used the new Sprinkles punch for the mini white dots for the bow. The stamp set I used was the Thoughtful Banners.

I think she will love it!

Thank you for stopping by my Stampin' Peeps!

Till next time.

Happy Stampin'!

Going Away Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Happy Monday!

Today I would like to share with you this going away card & goodie treat.

(I mean if you have to say goodbye might as well try and make it "sweet")

I finally played with my Swirly Bird stamp set. Winning!  How cute is the little sailboat? Which by the way was super easy to make. This stamp set is a photopolymer set which means the stamps are clear therefore easy to see where you stamp! Plus this set coordinates with the Swirly Scribbles thinlits! So many possibilities you can create with this set!   

Here is a solo picture of the card.

To make the waves I used the Swirly Scribbles thinlits and my most favorite tool the big shot. I "fussy cut" the sailboat with my trusty paper snips. The sentiment I used is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set. There's some good greetings in this set! 

Here is a solo picture of the goodie treat. 

For the tag I punched out a circle with whisper white cardstock and the 2 inch circle punch. Stamped and fussy cut another sailboat and added my waves. Very easy and fun!

Here is one more picture of them together. 

Now it's time for a fun fact. Did you know you can buy the Swirly Bird stamp set and the coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits die in a bundle AND SAVE 10%?

Awesome right? 

Well I hope you enjoyed today's card and goodie treat. 

Don't forget about bonus days! For every $50 you spend now in July, you get a $5 off coupon to use in August. 

Till next time my Stampin' Peeps!

Grateful For You

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this card I made for a friend of mine. 

I used the Acorny Thank You stamp set for the sentiment. I stamped it with Bermuda Bay then I used the Calypso Coral stampin write marker to color the little hearts.  The flowers were made with the big shot die cutting machine and the botanical builder framelits. 

I also filled a clear tiny treat box with Jordan Almonds. I added a flower on top to match the card. 

I'm loving the new clear tiny treat boxes! Have you used them yet?

Here they are together.

Hope you enjoyed today's goodies. 

Till next time peeps.

Happy Stampin'!
