Eat Cake....

....wedding cake, that is.  Hi there!  Today's post is a card that had long been forgotten.  Originally, it was to be included as a Stamp Camp or Buffet card.  That didn't happen for one reason or another.  Then the Word Play stamp set along with other Stampin' Up! products used, were retired.  So, today the card makes its belated debut.  Connie Stewart has a video showing how to make this card in her Flash Card series seen here.  The colors I chose were modified a bit but, otherwise, the card is pretty much the same.

And this weeks deals (Jun 10 - 16) ......

....can be found by clicking here. 

And a new photopolymer set, Calling All Heros, was released yesterday!

That's all folks.  Thank you for coming by today!

Perfect Blend

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing another card from our Card Buffet sample board.  I used the twisted pocket fold idea from Kellie Gettlefinger.  She has a video you can watch here to learn how to make this unique fold.

Time to Paws

Hi there!  Hope your week was a good one.  It went by quick!  The forecast is great - the high temp today is 74!  Last night we had our O'Fallon Card Buffet and that went very well.  Thanks to ALL the ladies who attended our Buffet this past Saturday and last night!  We had a great time! 

Now for one of the cards on our Buffet display is the paw print, which can be a pet sympathy (as shown above) or it can easily be made into a congratulations or birthday for a pet (shown below).  I sent Rocky (our granddog) a "miss you" card after having him for a week.  His parents got a kick out of that.  You could even make it for a Mizzou fan by changing the colors!

New Home

Hi there and happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week!  Mine sure ended up being a lot busier than planned, which is the reason I didn't get to blog for the last couple of days!  So without further ado, I'll get to the card for today. 
One of my customers requested a card for a new home.  So this is what I came up with.  The house is made from a square of the new 2013-15 In Color Baked Brown Sugar Designer Series Paper Stack and coordinating cardstock roof .  Love the new In Colors!  The sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials set.

Must run now - taking a little day trip to pick up our son about 1-1/2 hrs away.  Saturday is our Card Buffet at DeLeo's in Florissant.  So it's still busy!  Hope you have a great weekend!  I appreciate you stopping by for a visit!

 

I'm Back With a Get Well Card!

Hi there and happy Friday!  I'm back - for those of you who happen to check my blog!  Things got a bit crazy when I returned home Sunday evening from Pam D'Urso's Little House on the Prairie stamping retreat. We had NO power due to the storm that went through our area last Friday!  (Fortunately, our power was restored Monday evening around 6 pm.)  So I had a lot of catching up to do going through/responding to emails and cutting cardstock for our Card Buffet this coming Sunday.  Sure glad I wasn't around for most of the power outage.  My poor hubby endured those long days and nights with no TV or microwave.  It was more like the real Little House on the Prairie here than at Pam's!  lol 
Speaking of the retreat, we had a blast!  Pam and Steve are the BEST hosts!  Lots of fun, food, laughter, and late nights!  Just love hanging out with these girls!  We had a great time playing Bingo Friday & Saturday nights.  Saturday was our shoebox swap, which is where you provide everything in a shoebox for the others to reproduce your card.  There were also demonstrations using products from the new 2013-14 Stampin' Up! catalog and a couple of fun techniques.  We had it ALL going on!  Besides the shoebox projects,  I made other cards that I am able to share with you.  The one shown above was CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from Deana Schultz.  Not sure if this was her original design or if she CASEd it.  The Patterned Occasions stamp set was offered as a freebie during Sale-a-bration.  I really didn't get a chance to use this set and lately, there's been a need for get well cards.  Talk about perfect timing!  The supplies are listed below.

All Stampin' Up! supplies used unless otherwise noted.
Stamps: Patterned Occasions

Other: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, small heart punch, Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon, rhinestones

That's it for now.  Need to finish cutting paper and packing up for Sunday.  Thanks for your visit today - and every day!  Have a great weekend!
