Hi (that's all)

Hello Hivers,

I decided to use another SAB stamp set today.  It's called Party Pants.  I just love this sentiment.  The designer paper is from the It's My Party DSP stack.  I just love the way the White Bakers Twine looks against the colors of this card.  And that lovely purple is the In Color, Blackberry Bliss.  I will be so sad when it is retired.  I have already stocked up on all the supplies I wanted for the soon to be gone In Color family.

Just a note:  As always, I will continue to share the projects I make even if the products are retired.  You never know what Stampin' Up! will bring back in the new catalogs or put out on the Clearance Rack.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,

Make a Wish Card & Tag Set

Hello Hivers,

Summer is coming and that means Birthdays in my family.  So many birthdays!  I have been making so many sets of cards and today is no different.  I made 2 of each color and made matching gift tags and envelopes.   I am loving the It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack along with the Party Wishes stamp set...So many options.  I seen the design for this card on Pinterest.  There are so many talented stampers out there.  If you are like me and have trouble coming up with designs, don't feel bad if you have to CASE.

Happy Hearts Balloons

Hello Hivers,

I know I'm a little for V-Day, but I knew you wouldn't mind me sharing this card anyway. 

Balloons seem to be a big theme right now, so I thought I would make my hearts into balloons using the heart thinlit from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and the Confetti Hearts Border Punch. 

The stamp set I used can be found in the current Occasions Catalog on page 17, it is called Bloomin' Love.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

For Baby

Hello Hivers,

These are cards I made for my husband's cousin.  Of course, I will have to choose one to give her.  She is having a baby girl very soon.  When I say that I CASE'd a card, this is usually what I mean.  I got inspiration from a card I found on Pinterest by Jennifer Frost.  Not everything is the same but you can see how her card inspired mine.

A Pot of Tea

Hello Hivers,

OMG!!!  I love this teapot.  I found the instructions on Pinterest.  I love the way it turned out.  I used Basic Black card stock along with the Neutrals Color Collection DSP stack.
The Basic Pearl Jewels just added the final touch this teapot needed.  The flower topper was made using a retired flower punch.

A Spotty Birthday

Hello Hivers,

My mother asked me to make her a few birthday cards to give out to her friends.  This is one of the cards I made.  I used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the Cherry on Top DSP.  I also used my Banners Framelits along with the Tree Builder and Banner punches.

Red Tie Golf Cart and a Celebrity!!

Hello Hivers,

 Last month my Hubby attended the 5th Annual Red Tie Celebrity Golf Tournament.  I made this golf cart to give to some of the attendees.  I shared another version of this cart HERE.  While at this wonderful event we had the pleasure of meeting Jo Marie Payton (Harriet Winslow from Family Matters).  She is so nice and sweet, and I must add very intelligent.  I could spend hours conversing with her.  In fact, we did spend a few hours chatting over breakfast.  I have added a picture of her with my children below.

A Fun Fold Wedding and a Tag

Hello Hivers,

This is the card I made for one of my dearest friends daughter.  She got married yesterday and it was beautiful.

Since I designed her wedding invitation, I knew the wedding colors.  I have been sharing samples of wedding favors for a while now that I designed with this wedding in mind.

I only used one stamp set to create this Fun Fold Card.  The stamp set is called:  For the New Two.  I just love it.

I used Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, and Brushed Silver card stock.  I stamped all the images using Blackberry Bliss ink.  I added a pop of color with the Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Bitty Butterfly, and the Elegant Butterfly punches.

Below is the matching Gift Tag I made using all the same supplies, just adding the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.

A Pouch For You

Hello Hivers,

Pootles has struck again.  I just love her blog.  I get inspiration from several of my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

I don't remember the name of the DSP that I used, but I know that it is retired.  The sentiment came from the Hostess only set, Hello There and the flower is from the Petite Petals stamp set.

Until next time....

Seeing Stripes

Hello Hivers,

I love making 3D projects.  Here is a pouch that holds a Ghirardelli chocolate square.  I found the instructions from a pin on Pinterest.  It is very simple to make.  I used the Moonlight Designer Series Paper stack with coordinating ribbon.

Another Wedding Favor

Hello Hivers,

Today is a very special day in my house.  My husband and I are celebrating our
16th Wedding Anniversary!  
Happy Anniversary, Babe...Love you much.


Now on to today's project.  This is a cute little box that I made as sample for my friend.  Yes, I have made a lot of samples.  LOL I really like the size of this box.  The idea came from Sam, over at Pootles.co.uk.

Ghirardelli Wedding Favor

Hello Hivers,

This is a quick and easy wedding favor that I made for a friend.  I used Pool Party and Elegant Eggplant card stock on this project.  All you need is a piece of card stock cut at 2.75" x 6.5" and "bend" it over the chocolate square.  I stapled mine shut and covered it with embellishments.  This is another Pinterest find.

Side Note:  HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, MOOKIE MOOK!!! (my niece)

Mr. & Mrs. Favor

Hello Hivers,

I've been making wedding favor samples for a few people.  I thought I would share the ones that didn't get chosen...until after the Big Day.  This favor holds 2 Hershey's Nuggets.  I used Pool Party and Elegant Eggplant for the colors with Silver Glimmer paper for a little sparkle.


 The stamp sets and the ribbon are retired :(

Wall Banner

Hello Hivers,


I thought I would go ahead and share the banner I made for my nephews new baby.  This is the banner I created to hang on the wall.  It is not the best of pictures, but it is the only one I got before the banner was gone.  I love the pop that the Silver Glimmer paper gives the banner.

Cake Banner

Hello Hivers,

My sister recently became a grandmother.  Both the parents are in the military.  We thought it would be a cute idea to make that the theme of the baby shower.  This is the banner I created to go on top of the cake.  I love the size of the Little Letters Thinlits.  They work perfect for those smaller projects.

Another Great Year

Hello Hivers,

When you find what works for you, go with it.  I am not a great designer so I search the web for projects that I can CASE.  Today I have the joy of sharing with you a card I found HERE, by Nance who was inspired by Jen.  I always change a little something from the original design just to add my little touch.


Below you can view the inside of the card as well as the matching envelope.

Big Day Sale-A-Bration

Hello Hivers,

Well, I guess Jessica K is the one to CASE right now.  This is another one of her beauties.  I love that this card only uses one stamp set but so many colors.  I had fun re-creating her card.
