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!

Two for Tuesday! Create a Cupcake

 I can't wait for the new Occasions Mini Catalog to come out on January 4!  Being a demonstrator I get to pre-order new stamps before they are available for purchase to the general public.  I love this cupcake set with matching punch!  I didn't have to cut out all those cute cupcakes, I just punched them out!  The saying on the card above "It's not about how many candles you blow out but how many cupcakes you get!" made me want to stamp a lot of cupcakes all over this card.  I think I got as many as I could on there!  Looking at the colors now - it looks like neapolitan to me!  This was so much fun to make.
