Fast Card Friday: Wow Flowers meets Flower Fusion
For today’s fast card, I got inspiration from Sherri Barron-Fun to Stamp. She did a Color Challenge and created a card using a similar design and colours. I decided I needed to use some of our new In Colors so off I went to stamp!!!
I started with my Flower Fusion and picked colours that matched with the flowers I used. From the preview stamp sets we got to order as demonstrators (just another bonus to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!), one of the sets I bought was Wow Flowers! I used it as the background of my card using Tangerine Tango. I loved how Sherri used her paper piercer tool to create the stem of the flower with the leaves and had to try that on my Baja Breeze. I then used a strip of Kiwi Kiss and my NEW and very exciting Scallop Edge Punch….this is AWESOME!!!! I know you’ll all have to have one of these!!!

Stamps: Wow Flowers
Cardstock: Tangerine Tango (4 1/4 x 11), Pink Passion (3 1/2 x 4 1/4), Baja Breeze (3 1/4 x 4), Kiwi Kiss (3 1/4 x 1 1/4)

Join a fun Stamp Club!
It is time to form new Stamper Clubs. This year I am planning to start my first ones in August with the launch of the new catalogue! Though the projects are geared towards cards and 3D projects, I have many scrapbookers attend to learn the techniques to use on their scrapbook pages!
Each club will have 6 members and will have a choice to attend 1 of 2 optional stamp nights monthly. As a club member you will get a FREE Catalogue & Idea Book! You will also make projects and have a time to order products. Since it takes a $200 order to make a hostess event, each member will agree to purchase $35 of products or more each month. Each member will also get to be the hostess and select the FREE hostess benefits once in the 6 months.
If this sounds like something you want to do check out my Stamp Club Info Page or let’s talk at my Open House on August 14th.
Our first stamp night’s are to be held on August 18 and 19th-your choice of which to attend. If you can’t attend, but, still want to be part of the club for hostess benefits and the project ideas by email-feel free to join too!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day! Josee

Some sweet Thank You’s
Doesn’t it just make your day to receive Thank You cards? It seems so easy to forget the importance of saying Thank You. I know when I receive one, I want to "pass it on". I try to remember a few people that deserve a Thank You and get stamping! Is it time you do the same? Who deserve your thanks?!
One of my absolute favourite things in my business is working with my downline. They are the most wonderful group of ladies and over the past 6 years, we’ve grown to be such a close, loving group. I don’t know everyone in my group, but, I truly care about all of them. I wish I could have the time to talk to and meet them all cause I know they are truly INKredible!!! (That is exactly what my group is called: INKredible Canadian Stampers!)
Two of my wonderful team members have sent me Thank You cards recently and I thought I’d share them with you. It truly warmed my heart to receive these. I know I’ve received more than these 2 in the past and appreciate each one, but, I don’t always have a chance to share them!
Supplies used
Stamps: From the Garden Hostess set, Warm Words
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, So Saffron
