Hello Betsy!

 Howdy everyone!  So sorry for the long hiatus.  I'm trying to get myself into a posting schedule so please bear with me. 

The inspiration for this card came from Red Hot Stampers Challenge #44.  I will be offering this card in my July Card Buffet Class.  Check out my facebook page for more information.   www.facebook.com/TeresaGoffIndependentStampinUpDemonstrator

Sweet Shop Hello

Hi everyone! Here is one of the cards for my April Card Buffet Class. The Designer Series Paper is Sweet Shop from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the Cupcake Punch for the ice cream and the cone is from the Pennant Punch. The colors are Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Soft Suede. The card base is Wisteria Wonder.

Gotta tag it!

Today was teacher appreciation @ my day job. We each got a cool insulated lunch tote from our boss, I decided to make a coordinating tag for it.

I used the Circle Circus stamp set with Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, and Basic Black ink. The ABC stamp set is Sweet Shoppe.

Collapsible Tool Tote

Isn't this GREAT?!? I got the idea from Janet Holmes, a fellow demonstrator in my Stampin' Up! family. It is made with 12 Scallop Squares cut from fabric. I used some old Mary Englebright fabric from my stash for this first one. The best part is that the bottom is attached on 3 sides with ribbon ties. You can untie the ribbon and it folds up for easy storage! I can't wait to make some with our new Summer Smooches fabric.

Making Fabric Lollies!

Aren't these the cutest little things? I've been cutting Scallop Squares from the new Summer Smooches fabric (from the new catalog sneak peak collection available April 1st) and I couldn't BEAR to throw away the scraps so I decided to make these fabric lollies.

The first thing I did was take a 1"X 4.5" rectangle of fabric and fold it in half (right sides together). I sewed the 1" sides together to form a loop. The next part is difficult to explain. I folded the top edge to meet the bottom edge, wrong sides togetherI used gathering stitches around the raw edge and pulled it tight. To finish the lollie I thought I'd add a button or brad in the middle. Here's a picture of the scallop squares that I cut out of the Summer Smooches fabric. I have a feeling I'll be buying a lot more of this fabric!

Sweet Shop Birthday

Hi Everyone!

This card was inspired by 2 different challenges. The layout is from Sketch Frenzy Friday. The birthday card theme ties in with the Techno Stamper Blogger's Challenge this week. I used Pool Party as the base and textured it with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. The Designer Series Paper is from the Sweet Shop suite and matted on Island Indigo cardstock. The strawberry is a full heart punched from Calypso Coral, textured with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder, and colored with the Signo White Gel Pen. The top of the strawberry is the middle flower punch from Boho Blossoms in Lucky Limeade. I also used Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine on the Whisper White band. The sentiment is from Perfect Punches.
