A Mary Kay Thank You

I needed to whip up a quick card to send to a friend that is into Mary Kay Cosmetics. Here is what I came up with!

Stamps: Upsy Daisy, Short and Sweet

Ink: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Pretty In Pink

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pretty In Pink

DSP: Retired Hostess Pack

Accessories: Scalloped Circle Punch, Various Circle punches, White Gel Pen

I've become quite a fan of the Stampin' UP! White Gel Pen! It is by far the best white gel pen that I have ever used! It's the simple things...!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to JP's basketball game, my workshop on Sunday, and getting more things ready for the baby! Only 19 more days to go!!

Texturz Plates!

Here is a fun card that I made using the NEW Stampin' UP! Exclusive Texturz Plates! If you look closely you can see the embossed dots on the Pacific Point cardstock. Very fun!


Stamps: Enjoy Every Moment
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Accessories: Texturz Plates, Kiwi Kiss Ribbon, 1/2 circle punch, word window punch, dimensionals.


I just love the In Colors! I hate that they'll be gone again this summer but do look forward to the next ones! If you are like me, you'll want to stock up on these colors before they are gone! Why not add a reinker or a package of cardstock to your order this month? You won't regret it!

Another Top Note Die Card!

I told you, I'm obsessed with the Top Note Die! This card uses just half of the Top Note. Save the other half for a second card!

Stamps: Bella's Bloom

Ink: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla

DSP: Candy Lane

Accessories: Vanilla Hodge Podge Hardware, Chit Chat Rub Ons, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Top Note Die

(I'm still without a camera but borrowed one to take these last few pictures. Sorry the color is off!)

Top Note Pocket Card

I saw this idea on Gretchen Barron's Blog and had to give it a try! I just love using my new Top Note Die Cut! It's so much fun for bag toppers and cards! If you don't have it yet, YOU NEED IT! Call or email me today to place your order!

Anyways, here is how to make it...you cut two Top Note Bigz Die-cuts using the Big Shot -- one with cardstock and the other with one of the Delicate Dots DSP patterns. Fold down the top edge of the DSP about 1 1/2", use your tape runner to glue the two Top Notes together and decorate as you see fit! I made a small tag to go into mine and stamped my sentiment on top. Easy Peasy! It fits perfectly in a standard size envelope!!

Stamps: Fresh Cuts

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla

DSP: Candy Lane

Accessories: Top Note Die, Big Shot, Vanilla Ribbon

Simple Valentine Card

Here is my husbands Valentine's Day Card! It was a super simple card that I totally copied from someone! Well, I think I used different DSP and a different heart stamp but the idea was copied!

Stamps: Taffy Alphabet, Simply Said
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
DSP: Candy Lane
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch.
