Ready for the 4th!


Can you believe July 4th is this Saturday? Many of us will be hosting family and friends over to celebrate. I wanted to show you a quick party favor you can make...these cute little firecrackers! Actually, they are rolls of breathmints wrapped in Bordering Blue paper. I actually wanted to use LifeSavers, but they are impossible to find in the rolls! This project can be found in the current (for only a few more days) Spring-Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! catalog on page 31. The stamp set I used is Independence Day, which will retire June 30th!
  • Stamps: SU Independence Day
  • Paper: SU Bordering Blue, Whisper White, Real Red
  • Ink: SU Real Red, Night of Navy
  • Accessories: SU 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, red ribbon

Dragonfly Card


Today's card is another quick and easy one! I used my Cricut machine and Doodlecharms cartridge to cut out the fun dragonfly using Certainly Celery DSP. The greeting is from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. I can't take credit for the design of this card...my downline Lindsay made one very similar to this for her Stamp-A-Stack class last month. Of course, I had to CASE it! Thanks, Lindsay!
  • Stamps: SU Thoughts and Prayers
  • Paper: SU Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Certainly Celery DSP

Another Heartfelt Card


I've really been playing with my Heartfelt Thanks stamp set and the So Swirly jumbo wheel a lot here lately! I pulled it back out to create this card. I'll be so sad to see these items retire on June 30th. I CASEd (Copied and Shared with Everyone) from Lorri Heiling's blog http://stampingaddict.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check it out! She has some great ideas, and I love listening to her music selections!

B Fabulous!


This fun card uses the cute stamp set Just B, which is retiring June 30th! I've also used the Polka Dot Punches stamp set which was a Sale-A-Bration free set and isn't available now. You could easily use another fun flower stamp and punch to replace these. Stampin' Dimensionals add a bit of depth to the flowers. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I did use the Background I Texturz Plates to add some texture to the Rose Red paper.
  • Stamps: SU Just B, Polka Dot Punches
  • Paper: SU So Saffron, Rose Red, Whisper White
  • Ink: SU Rose Red, So Saffron
  • Accessories: SU 5-Petal Flower Punch, Top Note die, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I Texturz Plates, Big Shot

Celebrate Birthdays!

Last night I was in a hurry to make two quick birthday cards. Both were for boys. I had my Bold Brights colors out from a previous project, so I decided to use them for these cards.

Crocodile Dock Thanks!


Finally - a new post! We've been having a great time at VBS this week! The theme was down in the bayou at Crocodile Dock. I made these for the directors and my boys' teachers to thank them for all of their hard work. I'd been the VBS director for the past 2 years, so I know how hard they've been working. I also gave the directors a set of monogram stationary. I didn't get started on these projects until late last night, so it had to be very simple! The cute alligator is from Wild About You. It's retiring at the end of this month...so get it now!
  • Stamps: SU Wild About You, Holiday Blitz, Much Appreciated (sorry, it's retired!)
  • Paper: SU Whisper White, Glorious Green
