I actually used a retired stamp set for this one. It was my first try and it was the only thing I had to scale. The micro-beads actually sparkle a lot but the photograph doesn’t capture it.
The charms are featured in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.There are other sizes available.This particular one is the size of a dime(if you squared it off of course). Click on the image below to view the details.

Stamp Set: Wonderful Watercolor
Cardstock: Whisper White

I just put the Flower Finesse Decor Element on the back window of my car. I also scraped off every inch of left over adhesive and sticker residue from the previous owner. YAY!
Check out this list! Everything is 25% off until the June 30th.
Flower Finesse is a Level 1 Hostess set so you would need to hurry and host a workshop to get it.

I didn’t actually make this card. My friend and upline Kari Lyn Harris did. It turned out so nice that I wanted to showcase it.
Oval All was stamped in Staz On on Watercolor Paper and then colored in with either a Blender Pen or an Aqua Painter. She punched the coordinating Scallop Oval in Riding Hood Red as an accent color.
Kari also used a coordinating stamp set and impressions die, she used a fun technique that I have yet to share. When you use a Big Shot impressions die on DSP (Double Sided Paper) you can gently sand off the top layer to reveal the white. This makes a really fun accent to the card.
Stamp Set: Oval All (from the Occasions Mini Catalog), Fifth Avenue Floral (from the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog).
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette (In Color 08-09), Walk in the Park DSP (from the Occasions Mini Catalog), Watercolor Paper.
Ink: Staz On, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette.
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Slot Punch, Scallop Oval Punch (from the Occassions Mini Catalog), Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Sizzix Big Shot and the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die.

This is just a modified 2-4-6-8 box. It uses 1/2 of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I love these watercolor stamp sets because you don’t have to be perfect with your stamping. I made quite a mess of lining things up but as you can see, it doesn’t matter. It still looks very cute! Don’t forget, this set is only available with a $50 purchase and if you order online, you get a FREE 2009 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog to boot! Don’t forget to check out my galleries by clicking on the tabs above. I am working to add more samples once I get a decent photo of them. I need a new camera.
Stamp Set: Botanical Blooms (SAB)
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White
Ink: Apricot Appeal, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Brown
Accessories:Apricot Appeal Grosgrain Ribbon, Small Tag Punch, Sticky Strip

This is a 6×6 Calendar. I got the idea from Chris Twing and I super-simplified it. The original was made as a 12×12 and had a lot more embellishments on it. There is supposed to be a photograph on the upper 4×4 piece and it was suggested that you could switch those out by using a mini library clip to hold the photo or by using some Velcro behind that piece. I made the calendar part on Excel.
Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a kit or attending a class to make one. They make great gifts! Hurry! February is coming fast and before you know it, the year will be over again!
