Mixed Bunch butterfly card

Hello Stampers! Have you checked out the Mixed Bunch stamp set (125535) from the Occasions mini catalog?  It is a special set that makes beautiful cards.  While we were at Leadership in January, this beautiful card was on display.  They used this stamp set and punched it out using the Blossom punch (125603).  They then cut two of the flower petals off to form the butterfly!  How fun is that????

The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set (125843) in the Occasions mini catalog.

Don't you love these colors together too?  They make me think of Spring!  And I am ready for Spring to come!!!

If you order these supplies, you will qualify for a FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration catalog!   Don't delay!  Hop over to my Inkin With DInk online store today!

Patterned Party birthday card

Hello Stampers!  The stamp set Patterned Party (123065) is so much fun to make birthday cards with.  It also makes really cute scrapbook pages!

Here is one of the cards that we made in my card class this month.  The other great thing about this set is that it is perfect for both masculine and feminine birthday cards!

We colored directly on the stamp with Stampin' Write markers to get the balloons to be different colors.

Contact me if you would like to come to one of my upcoming Card Classes so that you can make some similar cards!  My class is held the second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m., and the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.

Love & Laughter wedding card

Hello Stampers!  Have you seen the gorgeous Love & Laughter stamp set (125475) in the Occasions mini catalog?  It makes the most beautiful cards so easily!

This is one of the cards that we are making in my Card Class this month.  In my classes. everyone kept commenting how easily this set stamps!  The words came out very crisp and clear every time!

Don't you love how elegant the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper (126154) looks on this card?  You do know that you can get the pack of this designer series paper for FREE just by placing a $50 order!

Embossing Folder holder

Hello Stampers!  Do you have a special way of storing all of your Big Shot embossing folders?  I used to have a little basket that I stored my folders in, but recently my upline, Jeri, made me the cutest holder!  You have to see this:

Isn't it cute?  She covered a little wooden crate with the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper (126154) from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  She also used the 3/8" Pleated satin ribbon (125571) from the Occasions mini catalog.  And don't you love the flowers on the front made from the ribbon???

There are dividers inside that have even been embossed!  I love it!  Thanks Jeri!

Papercraft Garage Sale

Hello Stampers!  Well, Saturday was my Papercraft Garage Sale and it was a great day!  Thanks to all of those who attended and took advantage of my specials!

After the sale, we held my group meeting!  In addition to our business topics, we celebrated the promotions of two of us in the group.  Congratulations to Alice Marie for making Supervisor!  Since my daughter Amie just loves making cakes, I had her make our cake!  Here is what she came up with:

Isn't it fun?  This is the first cake that she has done all by herself, including baking the cake!  Can you say cake business on the side???

Come back tomorrow for this week's My Digital Studio downloads!

Fifth Avenue Floral and Take It to Heart cards

Hello Stampers!  I have two beautiful cards to show you today!

This is the first card that I made.  I used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (113734) which makes beautiful cards without much trouble!  I stamped the flower, cut it out, and adhered it with dimensionals on the card.

I used the same layout for this card, only I used the new stamp set, Take It To Heart (125520) from the Occasions mini catalog.  I think it turned out just as pretty!

 

Old Olive thank you cards

Hello Stampers!  I know that this is an odd title for my post, but I wasn't sure what else to title it!  Today I wanted to show a series of cards that Lynn, one of my downline members, made.  She is so creative!

Every month at our group meeting, everyone is encouraged to  bring items they have made to show off to the group!  Thanks Lynn for sharing these with us!

If you have any questions about joining my Dink It Up! group, contact me and come to our next group meeting to see what they are all about!

Don't forget that my Papercraft Garage Sale is tomorrow from 11:00 - 2:00!  For every dollar that you spend on my retired merchandise, you get an equal amount of merchandise for FREE from any of the current catalogs!!!  Hope to see you here!
