I just love this Scallop Trim Border Punch! It is very easy to line up and it comes in the new punch style. You can get it by ordering $50 during Sale-A-Bration until March 31st or you can wait until the new Idea Book & Catalog comes out in July. Can you wait that long?!
The owl is from Fox & Friends. They are even cuter when they are combined with the punches and they fit inside most of them. Also available, in Nursery Alphabet Decor Elements. Find this set in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.

I stamped these during what I call THERAPY. I picked a set and found a few cards to CASE from various sites. I cased the first one from Kristy Barra and the second one from someone on SCS. I left off the words because I wasn’t sure what I wanted it to say just yet. I like that these cards turned out so nice yet they are so simple. Just cardstock, dsp, ink and ribbon.

Another great sample card from the 2010 Occasions Mini. This one was created by my friend Jolene. Love it!

This is a 3×6 card that uses our new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and Sweet Pea DSP. Very cute stuff! Thank you Becky Kittaka for sharing your creation with me!

The Sweet Pea Stitched Felt can be found in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog. Click Here to link to the current Stampin’ Up! Catalogs.

Just wanted to share some great cards. These were created using the With All My Heart set from the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog
The thank you card was created by Jill Wakefield. Unfortunately, I can’t give credit on the second one right now… no name to claim.
Look close when you click to enlarge. The DSP is snazzy! It comes pre-glittered!

I got this set for FREE last year for attending a Stampin’ Up! event. I love that they now have a coordinating punch! The first card I got as a swap from LeeAnn Greff at Convention 2009 and the 2nd card I made at a downline event that my upline held. Another advantage of being a demonstrator. I love the friends I’ve made through Stampin’ Up! There’s something wonderful about like sharing like interests. Instant friends!

This is a card/Hot Cocoa holder made out of a paper lunch sack. I’ve shown you the front on the left and the inside on the right. As you can see, the opening goes to the right so that you can put the cocoa packet in. This would make a great office or single person gift. For a family you could give it with a canister of cocoa.

Aren’t they so cute!!!??

For the Boy Bear Card I stamped and cut out the hat and I used the 3/4″ Circle for the balloon. Perfect fit! For the Girl Bear Card I stamped on the Pawsitively Prints DSP and cut out the dress. It was really easy with the Paper Snips. Both were colored in using the Aquapainters and ink from the lids of the inkpads. Ask me how.

I LOVE this Pumpkin Patch card, it makes me HAPPY!! I can’t get enough of it! I even put it on my bureau so I can see it when I wake up. I’m not kidding. I think I like that the DSP is the same color as the walls in my bedroom and the Dusty Durango pumpkin is the same color as my maple furniture. I want to go get fabric to match and make a quilt!

I have been practicing my watercoloring. I’m getting a little better but I still need lots of improvement. I recommend leaving white space and coloring outside of the lines. I know this may be a struggle but the results are better.
