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!

Beachy Birthday

I stole this idea from my friend Deena, she made a very similar card using different colors and different stamp sets. My rendition uses Stampin' Up! set "Life's a Breeze" and the greeting is from "And Many Mower". It's a pretty simple card, but it always amazes me how many different ways there are to 'embellish' a card without using any extras- tearing the edge of the card stock can really give a cool effect to a card, especially if you want to showcase sand and water at the beach!
