Saying good bye to Upsy Daisy

Here is a card we did at a recent card buffet. The daisies are stamped in versamark and embossed in white embossing powder. We then rubbed Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango ink with stamping sponges to create the background.

I'm sad to see this stamp set going, it's been one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy the card! And if you want to order Upsy Daisy, #111710, before it's officially retired on May 31, 2012, visit my online store or contact me by email.

Twitterpated Scrapbook Page

A couple of months ago at a workshop for my friend Ann Marie, we did a 8x8 scrapbook page as one of the make and takes.  I used the Twitterpated DSP, the Mixed Bunch and Loving Thoughts stamp sets that were available from the Occasion mini.
I'm really into the banner craze lately and I used banners on the page. And of course if I can have a butterfly, I will! Love butterflies too!

This page also inspired me to create this 4x4 card.

My Digital Studio Collage

Recently I was at Stampin' Up! demonstrator meeting and I presented projects using My Digital Studio.  Here is one of the projects I presented.

This year my husband and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I love how quickly this came together. I added some brads from the SAB mini, pearls and rhinestones to add some dimension. Another way to add dimension is by using the shadow tool.

I hope you like the project!

Retiring Stamps and Accessories...

 
Stampin' Up! released the Retiring Accessories List this morning.  If you go to my my website, here, and click Retiring Products on the left side bar, you will be able to view EVERYTHING that is retiring. The accessories are while supplies last. If there is something on the accessories list you want, then order quickly as they go fast! The retiring stamps are available until May 31.

You may place an order through my demonstrator website, please make sure my name is listed in the upper right hand corner. Or you may email me to place your order.  If ordering retiring accessories then I suggest you place your order right away on my online store so you don't miss out.

Here are few other things to note about the retiring accessories...

• Some accessories up to 70% off
  

• Lots of Big Shot dies and accessories

• Our stamp pads are changing!
• When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog. The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images.

• In the new catalog, only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually. (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)

• 12x12 Texture Card Stock will no longer be available in the new catalog.

• 12x12 Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select colors and color collections. 

The current Idea Book and Catalog is good through May 31!  Contact me for your FREE copy of the New Catalog, it will be available mid May! Either pick it up from me or you can pay for the shipping to have it mailed directly to your home.

Have a great day!
