Happy Easter everyone!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great Easter, no matter what you're doing today! I have a special Easter project to share with you all. All of the supplies used are from SU!. The actual box was made using the Scallop Envelope die for the Big Shot. An additional piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock was used to make the bottom of the box. Isn't this adorable?! The Easter Wishes saying is a Level 2 hostess stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. This stamp set is only available until the end of April...hurry! The purple DSP is from the Subtles DSP stack. If you have any questions, please let me know! If you're interested in making your own box like this, or other boxes, a box class/club could be put together for you and some friends! Hope you all have an enjoyable Easter! (this project was inspired by one seen on the blog Stuck on Stampin')

P.S.: Don't forget about my birthday special...details are below in another post! Happy shopping!

Hi everyone! This past weekend, I had a fantastic workshop! I think the ladies had a wonderful time. :) I did! Everyone seemed so excited...it was a lot of fun. AND! The hostess received lots of FREE products, just by opening her home to us and hosting the workshop. How simple! Hosting a SU! workshop is a perfect way to earn free products. Also, until March 31st, everyone who purchases $50.00 (before tax and shipping) worth of SU! products will receive a free Sale-A-Bration pick. What a great deal!!

Or, shop from your home by visiting my online SU! store (link is on the side of this blog). Don't miss out on free stamps! Nowww, on to the projects we created at the workshop.

This card was inspired and CASEd from a sample I saw on SCS. I think the girl's name was actually Heidi! I think this is such a fun type of card. It's made using a technique called the Z fold card--very simple! This adorable stamp set (which is so springy) is called Bold Blossom and it is out of the Occasions Mini Catalog. The cardstock colors used are Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla, and Pumpkin Pie (DSP). Inks used are Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Rich Razzleberry. The ribbon is 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon in Old Olive.

Top Note Die...

Hi everyone! I have a new card to share with everyone! This card uses a quilting technique using the Top Note Die for the Big Shot. I cut the DSP squares at 1 1/4 inches. Then, I glued all of the pieces on a piece of whisper white and then ran it through with the top note die. It needed a little pop against the Basic Black cardstock base, so I cut out a border of Whisper White. I put the Top Note Die piece on the black and wrapped a piece of whisper white grosgrain ribbon around it. The friend stamp is a free SAB pick when you spend $50.00 (before tax, S/H). It's called Punch Bunch! I love it! That is popped up on three different SU! punches. I hope you like it! Thanks for looking!

SAB pick...

Hi everyone! This card uses a stamp set out of the IB&C and it sells for $14.95. But, during SAB it can be yours for free with a $50.00 purchase!! There are many sets in the back of the SAB catalog to choose from, in addition to those in the catalog. This set is the Funky Four stamp set (#123914 W, #123915 C). This card also uses buttons, DSP, and ribbon. I just love it! Enjoy the card! Please contact me with any questions you have or to schedule your own workshop!

This next card is from my upline, Lynne Aikins. It uses the new Cupcake punch out of the new Occasions Mini. It's adorable! The card is more than just a regular one time fold, it uses the Z fold technique! Want to make one of these?! Be a workshop hostesses AND you'll earn free products!

This card is from Kim Peles. I'm pretty sure she's my upline's sideline?? :D Anyway...she's made an awesome card! It uses the new stamp set Take a Spin, found in the Occasions Mini Catalog. (#121937 W, #122015 C) It's just so pretty!
