Stampin Up Club Cards - February 2011 and Tax Free Stamp Camp!

The first two cards are from our February Stamp Club meeting! I had these on my work table and just HAD to show them off!! Kathy does such a great job with techniques and tips and tricks for us!! THANKS, Kathy!!

Gotta LOVE SU's bird punch... it's so versatile!


This is a fantastic technique... Color Resist!


Now for the Tax Free Spring Stamp Camp!

We met this past Friday night, April 15th... for a GREAT night of fun, stamping, and projects!!

Isn't this bunny absolutely adorable? He was lots of fun to put together, and makes an adorable basket for small candy!


We used the Blossoms Punch for this card - Dogwood flowers! The browns and greens are perfect together for this pretty, pretty card!


This milk carton is cut from a Big Shot die - with thick window sheets!


And now... last but not least! A Spring Banner! Here you see mine on the wall in my Cricut (Craft) room. Patterned paper, pastel solids, letters, and pink ribbon.... what a pretty project!

January Birthdays

My sister and her oldest son both have birthdays in January. I sent her a card, and a set of 12 cards for her Stationery Box (last year's gift) as refills. I think these are better than the first ones I sent... I hope she likes them!

These are the 'refill' cards for my sister's stationery box.

This is the card I made for my oldest nephew's birthday which is coming soon!! This cut is Cupcake4. It's going to get lots of use!!

Here's the inside view of his card.

He's doing post-grad work, so I thought the greens and browns would be good colors for his age group. Blues are always good for male cards, but I wanted to try something different. I hope he likes it!!

Stationery Box Set for My College Roommate!

Click on any of the pictures to get a full-screen view!


This is the card I made for my roomate, just to give her a pick-me-up.

This is the Stationery Box I made for her, with cards to send to her Mom!
I used lots of my pink ribbon, and pink eyelash yarn, as well as the DCWV Butterflies and Blooms paper and the Chipboard pieces that coordinate! I found them with some luck one day... and they are PERFECT here!

This first set of small cards are 'leftover' pieces from cutting down the A2 cards.... and they just make cute little notes to attach to anything, so I decorated and included them!
These are also the A2 size, cut down to fit in the front of the Stationery Box. They're called Love Notes! I also used my Crafter's Companion to make the envelopes for these small cards.

These 12 cards are A2 sized, and in addition to all the butterflies here, I also stamped the envelopes with my SU 2 step Butterfly set. One of the cards, I took a huge long piece of the eyelash yarn and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped! I think it looks SO cute!

I also have this really cute flowered ribbon, and the sentiment just went perfectly behind it and shows through the sheer ribbon.

The Define Your Life set of stamps was perfect for this, since they're uplifting definitions, just perfect for pick-me-ups!!

As you can see, the sentiments on the fronts of the cards are all Stampin' Up with lots of different color inks. I want to thank all the ebayers I've been purchasing retired sets and current sets at better prices! I so appreciate that, because then I can add such nice details to my cards!!!

Please Enjoy!

Our July Project... Lime Light Design Team and the Cancer Coaltion!

Our Design Team task for July, 2009 was to make cards and journals for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coaltion. The workers and counselors send cards to the cancer survivors, and they in turn send cards out to their family and friends. They also use journaling as a way to chronicle their journey back to recovery!

I'm a little lost for words on this one. I just hope they like the cards and the journals are helpful!!

So.... here are some pictures of the 40 items I sent out for this task.

Here are the 10 journals I made for this task.
