Vintage Style

One of my favorite styles is the Vintage look. There are really a lot of techniques you can use to achieve that "shabby chic" look.

Supplies used: Vintage Vogue & Well Scripted stamps (Occasions Mini); Whisper White card stock; Regal Rose, So Saffron, Always Artichoke and Pretty in ink Classic Ink; Pearls are from the Pretties Kit. Oval was die cut with the Big Shot and ink was sponged inside the oval.

You Can Never Have Enough Butterflies!

Butterflies are really in this year! Stampin' Up! has several products available to make some fantastic projects! My very talented daughter, Julie, designed this card. I love the clean lines! And it's really a quick card to make if you are in a hurry! You can have several of these made up and just add the appropriate greeting.

Supplies: Top Note Bigz Die and Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die; Shades of Spring designer series paper; Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Orchid Opulence and Whisper White card stock; Certainly Celery and Basic Black Classic Ink, Butterfly Accent Stamp and Whimsical Words stamp sets.

This made me chuckle!

I recieved a couple of orders the yesterday and got a good chuckle when I looked at the boxes! Along with the Sale-A-Bration logo, there is a warning: Caution - Opening box may cause extreme excitement! LOL!!!

OK....back to business! Pictured below is the class that I am holding on February 20th at 10am. It is a card organizer box. And we will make two each of the cards pictured so you can start to fill the box! Please call me (734-285-2116) or e-mail me - susan@la-croix.net if you are interested. Registration deadline is February 10th so I can order the boxes.

Party Favors!

The beautiful lady in the center is my mom, Gloria. The condominium complex where my folks live has a pretty active group of residents. One of the events they hold a couple of times a year is a luncheon and some of the women take turns organizing it. Mom and Rita (the lovely lady to the left of my mom) are "hosting" the luncheon in February. As soon as they saw one of the birdhouses made with the new Mini Milk Carton Bigz Die, they wanted to make them as favors for everyone. One of the Sparklers, Angie sitting to the right of Mom), came over to help. We finished all 21 bird houses!

It's Magic!

Even though we are in the midst of winter, it's fun to create spring projects! It gives me hope that warmer weather is on the way! We made this Magic Slider Card at Hostess Club this month. Let me know if you want to learn how to make it!

Eggcellent Eggs Kit

One of the fun new kits in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Eggcellent Eggs Kit. I decorated some eggs for the Open House and made a card with the leftover pieces. The kit comes with die cut flowers, rub-ons, and self adhesive backed rhinestones! Love the bling!! The unfortunate thing is that this item is a while supplies last! Once it's gone, it's gone!

I {heart} Hearts samples

As promised, here are the cards made with the I {heart}Hearts stamp set. When you purchase this set during this fundraising period (from now until February 28th), I will send you the pre-cut card stock and ribbon (along with the directions) to make these cards! I feel very blessed to be associated with a company who continues to reach out to those in need when a disaster hits. Helping the people of Haiti is just the latest in a long list of communities that Stampin' Up! has helped over the years.
