Stampin' Up Banner Blast


We made this at my Friday 11 am class.  The itty bitty flowers
are popped up and sprinkled with diamond centers.  This card
has already been mailed to a friend in hopes of
brightening up her day!

Stampin' Up! Spring Thank You

Some Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe card stock
make a nice Spring and cherry thank you note. 

Stampin' Up! Anniversary Card


The Card Sharks had fun last night making this Anniversary Card.
It's hard to see, but the white panel is popped up on dimensionals for a
3-D look at the designer paper behind it.

Stampin' Up! For You


I used the Flower Shop Stamp Set, embossing it with white embossing
powder on vellum, then punched out the flowers. We sponged them softly with
three different colors. It makes a pretty Spring card.  
Some of the stampers inserted a Mother's Day or birthday greeting
on the inside.

I made these from little boxes to hold a variety of Easter candy.

Stampin' Up! Mini Easter Baskets


How fun are these!!!
These mini Easter baskets are just the right size to hold two (2) 
solid chocolate eggs (Philadelphia Candy in Sharon, PA).
They are filled and ready for the stampers who attend
the Spring Elite Stampin' Retreat at my house this week!I have 
more baskets to fill, but I have to make another "egg" run!

I used Stampin' Up! designer series paper to make these little gems!
I got the directions here: http://craftingclare.blogspot.com/2013/03/easter-basket-tutorial.html, and each one uses only a 4 x 5 piece of dsp.
Go have fun!
