Fun Project Tutorial!

Tonight I am sharing my project I am making with my daughter to celebrate what May Day is all about since May Day is also her birthday!  A project similar to this was at a recent Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar.  She is SO excited to start making this project and we will be making a few of these this weekend.  I have a feeling we will also be putting some goodies in the pouch besides a card. Here are two of the four cards.  I used the Whisper White Note Cards and they fit perfectly into the pouch with also the envelopes.

 

Here is the SUPPLY LIST for the project and you can order the Four Frames set (123440)and Paisley Petals DSP (122367) when you place a $20 order.  Orders can be placed through my ONLINE STORE to get started on this amazing project.  When you place an order at my online store to order this great set and designer series paper, you will receive instructions and dimensions for FOUR MORE bonus cards FREE!!!!  This offer is only available until April 30th so don't delay!

I hope you enjoy creating it as much as I did!  This stamp set will be available again in July!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Birthday Fun!

My daughter, Lauren, will be turning "8" in 2 weeks!  I can't believe she is going to be "8" already!  She asked for a Ice Cream Sundae birthday party as she really doesn't like cake.  We are going to have a Ice Cream Sundae bar at her birthday and I was so excited when she told me this as I have seen a lot of these fun ice cream cones made with the Petal Cone Die and I wanted a reason to make one!

Isn't this just adorable and so real looking? 

Her birthday is also May 1st which is "May Day".  I think I only celebrated May Day once when I was small and it had to do with school.  Lauren didn't know what May Day was and I wasn't sure either so I looked it up.  While chatting with my friend and telling her what May Day was all about I decided I would explain to Lauren what it was and make a little something to hang on doors of our loved ones and really celebrate May Day while celebrating her birthday as well.  Lauren loves crafting as much as I do so she is thrilled and I can't wait to make them with her.  Of course Alec wants to help too...then it will get interesting :)

So I am sharing my May Day project instructions with you for FREE in a few days.  For now, here is the SUPPLY LIST.  Be sure to visit my ONLINE STORE and order the new Four Frames stamp set and Paisley Prints DSP to create this May Day project.  These are both sneak peeks of the new catalog coming in July and they won't be available again until July so get it while you can, they are part of the Spring is Blossoming promotion.  It is my FAVORITE stamp set as it coordinates with the Designer Label Punch and this punch is a must have!

SO come Stamp with ME this week and have your supplies ready!

 

 

Stamp-A-Stack Share

I had a great Stamp-A-Stack on Tuesday and Thursday nights.  Both nights had the same cards, I just filled up on Thursday so had to open up another class on Tuesday.  I just love when a group of ladies, some who don't know each other, get together and stamp.  By the time they leave, they have a new friend.  I believe that is what stamping is all about and why I love it so much!

I want to share one the of the cards with you.  This card uses the Botanical Gazette DSP and First Edition DSP both which can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The stamp set has been a favorite of mine since Leadership in January and is called Clearly For You which is also in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

I am also finding myself using the Bitty Buttons and Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack ALL the time lately.  I just love how we can change the color of a button to go with any color palette in just a punch!  

Back to our normal routine tomorrow.  The kids had their Spring Break last week and we've been sleeping in all week.  They have kept me busy and I've been really tired at night.  We've also had a lot of fun this past week.  I am glad I have the opportunity to run my Stampin' Up! business at home and able to take time off when needed.  I love being my own boss!  Please contact me if you'd like more information on how to become your own boss like me!

Have a great week!
