Linda came over to play with her new stamp set called "Trendy Trees" 2 or 3  weeks ago and came up with these beautiful cards.  She used the Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper that she earned free during Sale-A-Brations.  She also used my new Scallop Oval punch that is in the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  She took 3 of the different colors used in the designer paper to try them using different colors of cardstock.  Below is a picture of a close up.  Thank you for sharing with us Linda! 

I appreciate anyone sharing their cards using Stampin' Up! supplies as everyone gets to see ideas other than mine & in this case even a different stamp set that I would not have bought. 

April Stamp a Stack Cards

I have having my April Stamp a Stack on Thursday, April 23, 2009.  I know that is not much notice but if you are not busy that night & want 12 All Occasion cards either sign up below, phone me or email me.  You stamp 3 of each of the 4 cards.  The cost is $20.00.

The first card is using a stamp set called "Any Many Mower" that is in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used Riding Hood Red, Baha Breeze, Kiwi Kiss & Confetti Cream cardstock colors.  I used blender pens to color the images.  The Baja Breeze cardstock was put through the Big Shot with a Texturz Plate.  These cards can be made for Fathers Day, birthday, thank you or just a Thinking of You card.

This card uses a stamp set called "Always".  The cardstock is Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore & Whisper White along with Designer Paper called "Rainbow Sherbet".  The large flower is cut using the Big Shot & the Basket & Blooms die with chipboard.  The ribbon folding was something we learned at the 2008 Stampin' Up! Convention.

This card was also from a new stamp set called "Very Versatile" that was in the new mini catalog.  This uses So Saffron, Bordering Blue & Whispering White cardstock along with Old Olive Patterns Designer Series paper.

Last but not least is a card using the stamp set called "Inspired by Nature".  This also uses the butterfly from the stamp set "Flight of the Butterfly".  Cardstock was Tangerine Tango, Whisper White & Chocolate Chip Patterns designer series paper.  Sponge daubers were used to ink up the stamp.  The ovals were made with the large & wide oval punches. 

I'm Back!

I have been gone from the blogging world almost 3 weeks but am very happy to be back now.  Tonight I will be sharing my April Stamp a Stamp cards but coming soon I will be sharing some of the items I made at my Stampin Up Regionals in Minneapolis from the beginning of April.
