Father's Day Wallet

I think everyone struggles a little for Father's Day gifts, I know I do. This wallet card was the perfect solution this year! Using Chocolate Chip cardstock and the Sanded Background from Stampin' Up!, along with some faux stitching and the 'Happy Father's Day' greeting from 'Teeny Tiny Wishes', featured in the new 2009-2010 catalog and idea book- I created an awesome card/gift for dad!

When he opens the card, the inside has pockets, just like a real wallet- and it can be loaded with gift cards, pictures, lotto tickets, notes, phony money- you name it! What father wouldn't love such a creative card?!?!

And now that you're finished with your Father's Day shopping, be sure to check out my website for 25-50% Stampin' Up! accessories. The new catalog will be available on July 1st, so now is your last chance to order those favorite stamp sets and accessories that will not be available after June 30th! Hurry- supplies are limited!!

Bright Delights

I've been playing with the Bright Delights Stampin'Up! rub-on's lately. That old papercrafter's adage about being able to stamp anything that sits still long enough to be stamped- the same thing applies to rub-ons!!!! I'm not much of a scrapbooker, (although I'm working on it!) but I do manage to do a photo collage of some memorable times to hang in the stairwell at the end of each year. (Or at least before the end of the following year!) And of course my photos do this project very little justice, it is so much cuter in person! Basically, I used some of the words from the Bright Delights rub-on package, playing off of the "life is..." good, marvelous, sweet, perfect, love, etc. underneath all of the pictures, directly onto the photo matte that came with the frame.

My stampers club meeting for June is going to be several projects using these rub-ons. If you're interested in joining club, or attending this class Monday, June 22 at 7:30 PM, please contact me before June 8, so I have plenty of supplies for everyone on hand.

Walk in the Park

This is another swap card I received from my friend Alicia. She used the Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper and the Matchbox Messages stamp set, both from the current Stampin'Up! mini catalog. SU is currently running a special on paper- buy three packs, get one free! Contact me to place your order, or go to my website to place your order online anytime!!

Cheep Talk!

My stamp club members got to make this cute little project at our meeting in April.  It is a stationary folder that contains three envelopes and three hand stamped cards, all using "Cheep Talk", one of the newest stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! spring and summer catalog.  The flower embellishments on the folder are some of the new designer brads, from page 175 of the catalog.  We also used the designer buttons from page 176.

One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is the way so many products are designed to fit together.  The 'Good Morning Sunshine' designer series paper used for the three cards pair up perfectly with the Cheep Talk stamp set- also one of my favorites!  The little birdies are so cute, and the greetings can't help but make you smile!
