Bella Bleu Bag in a Box

This is one of my first Bag in a Boxes. They make great treat bags. I made a few of them at Christmas for Alex's teachers with candy and a gift card inside. I used the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper here. I absolutely LOVE this paper. I think that is has a simple elegance. This DSP will be retiring this month. It had a good run, though. All of the colors in this paper series will continue in the new catalog with one little change. Kraft paper will soon be known as Crumb Cake. I am so excited about this. In July, we will offer a Crumb Cake ink pad and marker to coordinate with the cardstock!

Another Happy Heart

Here is another card I made with the Happy Heart set. The bad news is that after June 30th this stamp set and the black gingham ribbon will be gone. (The wheel I used on this card retired last June.) The good news is that the Pink Pirouette and the Baja Breeze on this card will be RETURNING in July, woo hoo!

A Happy Heart

The title should be "A Sad Heart." This is another stamp set we will be saying good-bye to at the end of this month. Are you tired of seeing this same layout? My demonstrator challenge was to copy a layout from the catalog but change the stamp set and colors. That's one of the reasons Stampin' Up! calls it our Idea Book & Catalog. Not only can you order GREAT products, the book itself can be used as a fabulous resource for techniques and layout ideas.

Color Change

I took the same stamp set and layout and just changed the colors. Oh, I added hearts instead of stars for the eyes. This card uses the black gingham ribbon which is on the Last Chance Accessories list. Which of the two color combos is your favorite?

Last Chance Favorites

The Last Chance List came out yesterday. Some of my go-to stamp sets are on the list. So, I've decided to pay homage to them by posting my favorite cards and projects.

This card uses the retiring Just Jawing set. The stars and ribbon are Bermuda Bay, which is also leaving us. If you think this card looks familiar, you're right. For one of my demonstrator challenges I was to copy a card directly from the catalog. You wil find it on page 83 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.

10 for $20.00 Workshop

These are the cards for my 10 for $20.00 workshop on Saturday, August 15th and Tuesday August 18th. You will make 2 of each card. I used Stampin' Up!'s new In Color cardstock, Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Seriers Paper, Movers & Shapers Big Shot die, and the Modern Label Punch. The stamp set used is Teeny Tiny Wishes. You can't tell from the picture, but the sentiment is showing through a window in the front of the card. I just LOVE this die cut. Look for more projects using different punches!
