June Stamp Camp

Hello friends!

I know this post is a bit late, but as always, the days seem to fly by. Before I know it, another month (or 2) has passed, and I find myself a bit behind in sharing. So today, I'd like to take you back to our June Stamp Camp. Our hostess was Teresa and she made some great cards for us. I always like to attend stamp camp online with everyone; we have such a great time. Here's her cards:

This masculine card has an organic feel, perfect for a guy. The designer paper is Nature's Walk and goes so well with the Pretty Peacock cardstock. Using Basic Beige cardstock for the panel and the sentiment is also a nice addition.

This "double vision" card was a lot of fun to make. The Lovely & Beautiful designer paper was cut into strips, then one strip was adhered to the panel using Tombow glue, while the next one is adhered with dimensionals. This completed panel reminds me of some old Venetian blinds we had in our windows when I was a kid. Oh boy, do I remember those. I had the pleasure (not fun at all!) of washing them.

The Wishing You Well card uses a stamp set and Washi Tape called Greenery Lane. A section of washi tape is adhered to a piece of white cardstock, then cut out with the dies in the bundle. How pretty are those greenery pieces? Very Vanilla and Garden Green cardstock make a pretty combination.

This Double Box Fun Fold card is a great fun fold. Pretty easy to assemble, it is made using Secret Sea, Old Olive, Petal Pink and Basic White cardstock. The Lovely Arrangements bundle includes stamps and dies and includes a die that makes the background panel for those pretty flowers.

Just look at this very nice Diagonal Fun Fold card. When the card is closed, you can't tell that the "thanks" panel pops up revealing a place to write a message. The angled cut on the bottom also is a surprise, yet the card stands up very well to display. Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze & Basic White cardstock were used, and the Boho Vibes designer paper (now retired) is a perfect sunny addition. The Sunshine Vibes stamp set (now also retired) has a wonderful ray of sunshine, perfect for the occasion.

So, what do you think? Aren't Teresa's cards amazing? It's always so nice to see what everyone creates for our monthly stamp camps. And the nice thing is, you don't have to live in Arizona to attend. If you ever want to be included, send me your email and I can add you to our email notification. The stamp camps are always on a Saturday, and you can attend online like I do. We would love to meet you!

Thanks for stopping by today. I will have more cards to share this week, along with some great news about our designer series paper sale, going on now. Until then, happy stamping!

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.

Be sure to check out all our kits. Click the Shop button and search for kits. More kits were added recently, so take a few moments to see what we have. All orders will receive a FREE GIFT from me. Check out my Ordering Bonus page for more information.

Thanks for stopping by today. Let me know what you think. I'd love to read your comment.

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.
