Good morning!!!  My Nacho Group Meeting (a get-together with my awesome downline) was last Thursday, and this is one of the make-n-takes we did!!  It uses the Elements of Style Stamp Set from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog!!  It's such a beautiful set!!  I stamped the flowers randomly with Basic Gray ink, then used my Stampin' Pastels to add a bit of Pretty in Pink.  Other items used:  Gray Satin Ribbon, Very Vanilla, Basic Grey and Pretty in Pink cardstock, large oval and scallop oval punches, and the scalloped edge punch.

Reminder:  I'm holding a Stamp-a-stack of cards on Sunday afternoon!!  I have one spot left!!  Hope you can join me!!  Click HERE for all the details!!

Have a GREAT day!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!  I'm taking a break from the weekend projects to share my Divas' Challenge card with you!  The challenge was color:  Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral and So Saffron.  I really like this combination!!

I used Flower Fancy Stamp Set along with a new set that is coming in the Summer Mini Catalog--starting May 1!!!  It's called Favorite Thoughts, and I'm sure it's going to be a favorite!!  The ribbon is Chocolate Chip Grosgrain!  Simple, simple, simple!! :-)

Have a wonderful day--and be sure and check out the other Divas HERE!

 

Hello!!  And good afternoon!  Did you miss me?!!  I had such a busy weekend!  But, it was a blast!!  Yesterday, was just as busy, so I wasn't able to post--so sorry!!  Stay tuned though--I have a ton of projects to share with you!!!  To start with, here are the other three projects we made on Saturday at the Big Shot Stamp Camp!!  (to see the first, click HERE)

This was made with the #2 Box Die.  Before putting it together, we punched a hole in the front with the Scallop Oval Punch.  There's a piece of a Window sheet glued to the inside, to hold the candy inside!  Colors are Old Olive and Lovely Lilac.

We used the Texturz Plates for this card!  Use your brayer to apply ink to the texturz plate, then carefully lay your white cardstock on the plate, and run through the Big Shot.  Voila--this is what you get!!  So cool!!  I used one of my favorite colors for this--Pixie Pink!  Along with Baroque Motifs!

This card was a total CASE from LeeAnn!!  I just used a different color!!  Be sure you check out the inside of her card!!  (we did the same, just don't have a pic!!)

I'll have some more for you tomorrow!!!  Come back and see!!

Also--exciting news!  I was published in the Premier Issue of the Embellish Magazine!!  It's an online Ezine, and so cool!!!  Be sure to check it out HERE.  There is a $3 charge to see the magazine, but it's well worth it!!

Have a GREAT day!
