VIDEO-Flower Frame Project

This project was originally created for Mother’s Day…but, would be perfect for any occassion! 

Join Spencer Willis from Stampin’ Up! as he shares a fun photo frame project–featuring the Big Blossoms stamp set (retired)–with Brooke Walker from Studio 5. 

 

Stampin’ Girls Re-Cap

This was my 6th year hosting a local Stampin’ Up! mini Convention called "Stampin’ Girls". It’s such a fun event for me as I get to connect with other demonstrator’s, stamp, learn techniques, and eat, eat, eat!

It’s alot of work each year, but, definetely worth it!  

Here’s a collage I created of our day. I took over 250 pictures…so, I couldn’t include them all…but, this will give you a glimpse of our day!

One of my favourite things about Stampin’ Up! is all the friendships I’ve made.

Do need more friends??? Join my team of demonstrators!  

You’ll get to take advantage of discounts, promotions, pre-orders and so much more!

Get Ready for Father’s Day-part 3

This is another adorable Father’s Day card created by Marlayne Hardy for our share table at the Stampin’ Girls convention. I love these origami shirts and it’s fun to see the difference between cards when you use different designer series paper. It’s hard to tell from the picture but the white cardstock was textured with polka-dot’s using the Big Shot and Texturz plates.

I did a search for instructions on making the shirt and found some fabulous instructions shared by Brenda (QBee) on SCS.

Get Ready for Father’s Day-part 2

This card was one of our share items at the Stampin’ Girls Convention I hosted. I’m not sure who made this item…but, I love how she created the grass!

She combined the And Many Mower (Item #113724) with Trendy Trees stamp set (Item #113258)

I still have some workshop dates available for June…book your stamping party now and I’ll have a Father’s Day card as a make and take! 

Get ready for Father’s Day!

I just can’t get over that Father’s Day is just around the corner. (This year, father’s everywhere get to share my Birthday….can you imagine the nerve of them trying to share MY DAY…hee, hee!)

This month, we stamped this fun Father’s Day card at our monthly Stamper’s Club.

It’s hard to tell from the photo…but, this card is a Z-fold. I am in LOVE with this set. I always find it so tough to make masculine cards and this set is just perfect. If you love this set too…make sure you buy it this month as it’s in the Occassions Mini Catalogue that expires at the end of May.

Basic Instructions on creating Z-Fold:

Using the bone folder, fold the card base in half.   Take the front of the card and fold back out so the line meets the initial fold, this will create your “z” look
