Stampin' Up! Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric

I need my little model - but unfortunately she's at school.  I love the Stampin' Up! Big Shot - so many possibilities!  It made putting this flower together a snap!  Then I wanted something to put the flower on so...

 I made a skirt!  I am not a sewer at all.  I quilt, and that's totally different.  I don't know how to sew.  But, putting this skirt together was pretty simple.  I just cut squares up and sewed them together.  Don't look too closely at the hems...

The Big Shot is such a fabulous tool!  I can cut out 8 layers of fabric at a time!  I also love that all Stampin' Up!'s accessories match - that button in the middle of the flower is Rose Red which matches the Rose Red in the skirt!  Can't wait for my little model to get home! 
Accessories: Stampin' Up! Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric, Springtime Vintage Big Designer Buttons

Sweetheart

I love the Sampin' Up! treat cups!  How fun is this card??!!  Thanks to Dawn's tutorial, I figured out how to make it so the treats are easily accessible from the cup - and you don't have to rip the cup off to get to your candy!  Although, I'm not adverse to ripping something open to get to chocolate.  And I may or may not have been known to do such a thing. ☺

Build a Blossom

This is another card that I just sat down and stamped.  It's also missing something - maybe a greeting on the side?  I'll have to keep practicing!  This stamp set and punch from the new mini catalog are so fun to use.  The punch coordinates perfectly with the stamp set, so I just punched those petals out instead of having to cut them out.

Sew Suite

I normally can't just sit down and stamp a card.  I have to see something in the catalog or online to get inspiration - I'm just really not creative.  Today I challenged myself to just sit down and stamp.  This is what I got.  I'm ok with it I guess, but I just feel like it's missing something.  I'll have to try again.

Awash with Flowers

I was reminded by a new friend that I really like yellow - but I just don't use it much.  I really like the new Daffodil Delight!  This card uses the new Framed Tulips Embossing Folder in the new Occasions Mini Catalog - it's a great new embossing folder!
Stamps: Awash with Flowers, Curly Cute
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
Paper: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Whisper White
