Kits Are Kool - Shaded Petals

Oh, be still my heart! I am absolutely in love with the Shaded Petals kit. This kit has all the supplies you need to make nine stunning cards, ready for anyone. Here's a look:

The kit comes with all the flowers, ink spots, daubers and embellishments. All you have to do is put everything together. Instructions are easy to follow.

Just look at these gorgeous cards! I made the kit exactly as intended because it was just too pretty to change it up.

You also get nine pretty pink matching envelopes, perfect for addressing to your favorite person.

I always need birthday cards, don't you? Layering these pretty petals after I used the sponge dauber was easy. I just used small dimensionals and some liquid glue and they were done. The silver sparkle is from a retired embellishment called Drusy Dots. Stunning in person.

More birthday cards. The sentiments are included in the kit, and the gold sparkle? That's actually printed on the card bases. Perfect!

Finally, three thank you cards round out the kit. I always need thank you cards as well, so this kit was a winner for me.

What do you think? I love our kits. They are great to sit and do while I listen to music, or the TV. They came together pretty quickly and now I have six birthday cards and three thank you cards, just waiting to be addressed.

July Stamp Camp

On July 18th, my team and I held our monthly stamp camp in Arizona. Jen was our hostess and she designed some really great cards for us. Here's her cards:

Jen covered just about every season in her cards. Summer, Halloween and Christmas. Who doesn't love a stack of Christmas presents? Cutting presents out of the Stitched Season designer paper, I love how she took the sheer red ribbon (retired) and stacked them up with a perfect bow.

At first, I thought the Celebrate card was 3 Christmas candles, but she meant it as a birthday card. The use of the awesome new Swirls of Magic embossing folder is so versatile, it can be used for Halloween, Christmas, birthdays or just about any celebration. Would you believe the designer paper Jen used to cut out the candles is actually a floral design? Florals in Bloom designer paper has these designs on the back side of the florals, perfect as candles, don't you think?

I love how the Hello sunshine card shows off the floaties, flip flops and sunglasses. The Splash & Relax bundle is perfect for a sweet card on a hot summer day. Tuck a Starbuck's gift card inside so the recipient can get a frosty, blended drink to cool off. Such a cheerful card!

And the stocking card! WOW! The Stitched Season bundle (also as a suite) is a perfect way to hang a stocking if you don't have a fireplace mantel. Make a card!

And who doesn't love a few cute little ghosts, flying as the Halloween season gets close? The Oh My Fright stamp set and die bundle are too cute, aren't they?

As a demonstrator, we get to pre-order many items from each new catalog. So now, most of us are planning stamp camps for the rest of the year, using some current, and some new items that are sure to please. Our NEW September - December catalog will be live soon, right around Sept 1st. I have no doubt that you will love the catalog as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please leave a comment and let Jen know what you think.

Garden Birthday Card

We had our monthly stamp camp last weekend and I will share those cards with you in my next post. Today though, I'd like to share a card made by one of our friends, Verna, who shared this card with us.

As most of us know, we have so many supplies, and very often, they do not all get used. Verna said she wanted to create something that used several supplies from different places. Her card certainly does that. Isn't it cute?

The card base is from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (retired). She used the Help Me Grow bundle and for the stamping and die cuts. The sentiment was made using Flirty Flamingo ink and is from an old Paper Pumpkin kit (retired). The light green layer was paper from her stash and she used the Ladybug Picnic embossing folder to give some great background design. She die cut the flowers using our Strawberry Slush two tone cardstock. The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock. The Pecan Pie flower pot is just the right color, especially as she added a darker blending along the left edge. This is a nice touch that adds dimension to the flower pot. Finally, our Butterfly Embellishments finish it off perfectly.

What do you think? Please leave a comment and let me know. It's fun to take a few different products to create something really cute.

Team Cards

Hello friends,

As you may know, every month my team in Arizona and here in Missouri meet online to attend stamp camp. In May, Kathy was our host and she created 5 awesome cards for us to create together. Here's her cards:

Kathy used the beautiful new Velvet Meadow designer paper and the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink and is from the Words & Wishes stamp set.

This darling "cute as a bug" card uses the designer paper of the same name. The Sweet Bugs bundle (stamps and dies) and a piece of the Specialty Rickrack ribbon highlights those cute bugs so well. And that ladybug? The Ladybug Garden epoxy shapes is perfect as an embellishment.

Gears & Textures bundle is a perfect and easy way to create a masculine card. The dies are easy to cut out and the "smoosh" of Secret Sea ink is a perfect way to show added texture. The Faux Bronze pentagons finish this card off nicely.

The Friendly Foliage stamp set teamed up with a piece of the Brushed with Beauty designer paper are a perfect match for this pretty card. The background is made with the Lasting Linen stamp, and the white panel was cut out using the Textured Notes dies. Iridescent Rhinestones are a nice added touch.

Garden Poetry designer papers do most of the work on this card. I love how the contrast of the folded edge just makes the sentiment pop, and the use of the Nested Essentials dies makes a perfect focal point for the sentiment. Natural Matte dots highlight the white on the paper.

Some of the products used on Kathy's card have since retired but don't let that worry you. You can create these cards using supplies you already have on hand. I will list the products below that are still available and if you wish to purchase them just click on the product and you will be taken directly to my online store.

I am celebrating my 16th year as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator this month (I can't believe it) and I have a really great ordering bonus for you. Be sure to check out the tab above "Ordering Bonus" to see what you can get FREE with an order this month.

As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope you have a wonderful day and happy stamping!
