Sneak Peek: You've Got This

Just a few more days (June 2) until the 2015-16 Stampin' Up! catalog goes live.  It is always a bittersweet time.  I am sad to see some of my favorite Stampin' Up! products retire and on the other hand I cannot wait to play with new stamps, dies and accessories.  

Today's card is all about new products. I love this set so much so get ready for a lot of samples.  

You Got This Fun Fold 529

I posted a tutorial for this fold on this post and you can also access it here.  The new In Color 1" Dotted Lace is soft and so easy to work with.  Yes, I am smitten!  I know it is hard to wait until June 2 but like the card says...Good Things are Going to Happen, so get ready!


Fun Fold Friday Lovely Amazing You

It is another Fun Fold Friday!  I am not sure what the proper name of this fold is.  I think it is best just to show you it.

You can see another sample of this card here.   I have created a PDF for you.  CLICK HERE  to view it.  A lot of the products I used on this card are retiring so if you want to make this exact card you will need to act fast and place an order  in the next day or 2.  You can place your order through my ONLINE Store.  I would appreciate it!  Check back tomorrow and I will have another card using this fold with items from the upcoming catalog.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Recently my Stampin' Up! group (Stamp Ladies) had a card swap with the theme, Congratulations.   There was a fun mix of cards from Graduation to wedding to new baby. oday's card was made by Kerri Gennett and I thought her card would be perfect one to share with you today especially for the new mom.

Cheerful Critters Graduation

I meant to post yesterday to start the month of right but the day got away from me.  

Cheerful Critters pul up 15-05-01

Cheerful Critters Pull Up card 150501

Not sure what the proper name is for this style of card but I call it a Pull Up card.  I was going to put that in the title of the post but somehow Cheerful Critters Pull Up Graduation card sounded like a different kind of graduation than I was thinking of.  Anyway, I gotta scoot I have people coming over for a class in a few minutes!  If you want more information about the card let me know.  

Stamp with you soon,
