I'm on a Roll............

I was busy again all day making cards, well that and a little housework, but as they say, " housework makes ya ugly" so I try and do as little as possible.  Cause who wants to be ugly? 

Laker graduation cards anyone?  I've decided that since Glorious Green is going to be retired come June 30  I think I better stock up for all those LHS scrapbook pages that still need to be done. *grin*

I think the card to the right could be used for a boy.  What do you think.  I really have to work at un-girling my cards.  LOL

And speaking of un-girling...........Here's a Dad's day card.  I think I did a pretty good job on this one.  I cased the grill idea from somewhere, but the rest of the design was mine.

This card was made using up some odds and ends.  Does it look that way?  Well it probably does, but I think it's pretty anyway.  If you have any questions as to what was used (all SU of course) or how something was done, please feel free to contact me.

See ya tomorrow!

Third Post for Today!

I just couldn't wait.  I had to sneak in another post for today.  I've been working on cards all day to sell at a Women's Expo day on May 8 that I am vendoring and of course I had to play with some of my new Summer Mini Catalog goodies.  You are going to absolutely love the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Square Lattice.  It is unlike an of our other embossing folders and you all know how crazy I am about them.  This is almost like a rattan type design.  It is amazing!  I can't stop using it.  So I thought I'd share a couple cards I made with you.  I am using up some retired cardstock (purely pomeganate) and in the one pic you notice I used some of the new Log Cabin Smooch Spritz.  These will be available in the new Summer Mini Catalog as well.  If you haven't received your catalog from me by May 1, please let me know and I'll get one sent out to you.  The stamp set used in Tropical Party and I'm still using the Well Scripted from the Occasions Mini.  You can still order this set up through Friday, April 30.  Don't delay.  This set is so versatile.

Now to get supper finished.  It was great to stamp all day.  I just love my job!

Vintage Friends

Good Morning!  Just a quick and simple card today.  I have loved using the Vintage Vogue set from page 26 of the Occasions Mini Catalog and it's matching Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel.  And the good news is that the Vintage Vogue set won't be going away.  It's going to be sticking around and will even be in the New 2010/2011 Stampin'Up! catalog.  Yay!  Now we don't have any word on the wheel so my suggestion is to get it now.  Heck, get the set now too, because then you can be using it now!  It's a great set for backgrounds, borders or focal pieces.  You won't be sorry!  I stamped the freinds with the F first directly on top of the background and then stamped it again on a piece of Whisper White and cut the F out and put it on stampin' dimensionals. (as you read that it probably sounded bad, but I didn't know how else to word it) LOL  The scallop edge was created using the Scallop Corner and Scallop Edge punches.  The corner is still available and although the edge punch was only available in the SAB catalog it will be offered in the new catalog when it debuts on July 1.

Remember the Occasions Mini Catalog ends on Friday, April 30 and much to my dismay the following has sold out already.

• Sweet Pea Stitched Felt 
• Sweet Pea DSP
• Eggcellent Eggs Kit
• On Board Heart Book

Everything else is still available so place your order before Friday.  And don't forget about the May special.  You can see details to the right here on my blog.

Have a great day!

Bluebird of Friendship

I love using punches and this little bird was so easy to make and I perched him on top of the branch from the 2 step bird punch, even punching it twice in old olive and chocolate chip.  The borders are punched with the scallop heart punch.  Both punches are from the Occasions Mini catalog.  The pink is Pixie Pink and unfortunately this color will be retiring in June so you should really stock up.  You can place your order through my SU website or give me a call and I can place your order for you.  The blue is Ballet Blue, which also is retiring.  If you have any more questions please feel free to contact me.

Blessings,
Renee

3D Rose

This 3D rose was so fun to make and I can't wait to make more.  I found the tutorial HERE.

I used the Very Vintage jumbo Stampin' Around Wheel for the background on the Old Olive and also on the Cameo Coral Scallop Circle Big Shot Die.  The white circle was cut using the Circle Sissors cutter and splatters were made using the Air Art Gun.  What mom wouldn't like this for Mother's Day?  To top it off I used the Organza White ribbon.  This ribbon is fantabulous!!  All products SU of course!

Blessings,
