Here is a card that we made at the Basic & Beautiful Class on Tuesday. It uses the new stamp set Vivid Vases embossed with  Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi Embossing Powders. It is accented with one of my favorite accessories called Candy Dots.

Another Tag It Card

Here's a really cute card which again uses the RMHC set called 
Tag It (page 45 of the cattie). It also uses the coordinating Chalk Talk Dies. Can you tell that I really like this set?

Tag It Card

I found this card in our Demonstrator Gallery and really like it. It uses the new set called Tag It which is found on Page 45 of the Catalogue. Not only is it a really cute set, but for each set sold StampinUp donates $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities!

Another Giggle Card!

Another Giggle Greetings Card. I love this set. I also used my favorite new Designer Paper "I Am Me" and the fun new Candy Dots.

Giggle Greetings!

I know it has been a while since I posted but with summer here, life sometimes seems to take over. I did have some play time yesterday and this is one of the cards I made. It uses one of my new favorite sets called Giggle Greetings. It is a very simple but fun card I think.

I had a great time at my New Cattie Kickoff and BOGO Event last week! It was great to see everyone that was able to attend.

If you were unable to attend but would like to browse my stamps for sale, you can click here. Once you have the list you can click on any set and it will take you to the index picture of the set on Splitcoaststampers Gallery. BOGO is over however I have substantially reduced the prices of my sets.

Here is another card we made at our meeting on Sunday. This attractive card was shared by Tracie S. and uses the new Mosaic Madness stamp set, Mosaic Punch and Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, as well as the Chalk Talk stampset.

Yesterday I attended a group meeting at my friend and fellow demo Tracie's house. We did a shoebox swap, which means everyone brought a card for the group to make.  This card was shared by Marianne C. It used one of the new Hostess Sets which I really like called Morning Meadow and also used the new InColor cardstock Baked Brown Sugar. The technique on this card is Emboss Resist. A really pretty card!

Ok, Ok, I know this isn't stamping but just had to share this! Many of you have met, or heard me speak of, "Stupid" and looked at me strangely when I called him that. Does this explain how this poor creature got his nickname?? BTW, his name is actually Spencer.

Make A Monster Card

This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I am really sad that it is retiring at the end of May. It is called Make a Monster and I just love playing with all the different monster parts! The greeting comes from the Henry Says stamp set that is in the Spring Mini and also leaving at the end of the month. I find that this greeting pairs really well with the Monsters! I colored my images with ink and a blender pen.
