Best Thoughts, New Weekly Deals & More

The Best Thoughts Hostess Set contains an image that I knew my mother-in-law would love since she is such a flower lover. And with the sentiments and butterfly it is a great set for anyone.

Best Thoughts 2015 Annual Catalog swap SC

And here is a wonderfully feminine card that uses the Best Thoughts stamp set that Geralyn gave me in a swap. I just love its simplicity. The image was embossed in Black on Pink Pirouette and then cut out. The image is popped up on a Watercolor Wash back ground – what could be easier?

Timeless Elegance Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are something I always struggle designing, but since I needed several this past week I reached for the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper (138444). This paper is done in 3 of our neutral colors so it makes it very versatile, and easy to add the color of your choice.

A Dozen Thoughts Butterfly Thinlits

For this card I chose to go with a Perfect Plum base and repeated the color on the butterfly using the Butterfly Thinlits Die (137360).  I used pearls since I thought they were more, well, elegant.

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which pattern of the Designer Series paper is your favorite?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: A Dozen Thoughts (131056/131059)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Pad (140931)

Pictogram Punches in Black & White

Today’s card is another Black & White swap that I received from Convention and I think it is a lot of fun and a different type layout.

Pictogram PUnches convention swap 2014

Do you recognize the Designer Series Paper? It is the Back to Black Designer Series Paper (item 133700) found on page 187 of the 2014 Annual Catalog. Lyndia teamed up this organic pattern with the NEW Pictogram Punches stamp set (134261/134264) found on page 89 and then added one of our Petite Petal images to add a little more presence.

I’m a punch-a-holic – how about you? Can you name all the 4 different punches used on this card? Try it and then check to see how many you got correct in my supply list below – LOL.

Petite Petals

Today’s card is very elegant and makes an impression, but at the same time so easy to do.

Petite Petals Convention Leadership 2014 Swap

Simply stamp your swirl from the Everything Eleanor stamp set in Garden Green. Then cut out a window with your Apothecary Accent Framelit. (Don’t you love how easy our Framelits and the Magnetic Platform makes cutting windows like this sooo easy since it holds your Framelit tightly in place.)

Lay this on top of your Whisper White card base and stamp your sentiment of choice from the A Dozen Thoughts set, then adhere the layer onto the base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp your flowers, punch them out and add them to the front using some more Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add some Pearls and your done. Lovely, right?

A Dozen Thoughts

Friday I told you I was headed down to stamp after working on the trim for my pantry, so today I thought I would share with you one of the cards that I created. It is bright and cheerful I think and will hopefully cheer up my friend who is going through a rough patch. I know it made me feel better- LOL.

A Dozen Thoughts

So what do you think? Does it give you a little taste of spring and bring a smile to your face? I hope so.

This card is going to be part of a class that I’m working on so watch for more information coming soon about my Coffee and Cards Class.

After listening to my trim painting rant on Friday I thought you might like to see the finished project. LOL – Want to see how my new pantry looks? First here is a picture of my guys putting the shelf together.

A Dozen Thoughts

Todays card is one that I received from my friend Cindy. I just love the colors she used to create this card. The Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites since I love the colors in it – they are bright and cheerful, don’t you think?  And the greetings in the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set are great for a lot of different occasions too. I especially like the one she used on this card from the set.

Bright Blossom Blueberries – Take 2

Okay, okay, I know I’m a bit OCSD (that’s Obsessive Compulsive Stamping Disorder for those of you who’ve never heard of it before – lol). I couldn’t resist making yesterday’s card again making a change. And I have to say I really do like this one better, the greeting pops just like I thought it would. (You can click here to my first version of the card.) What do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best.

Yesterday I promised to show you one of my favorite blueberry recipes using those yummy berries. So here it is – this never lasts long in my house I can already hear my daughter coming – Quick hide the Blueberry Pizza!

Blueberry Pizza

And your going to love how its soooo easy to make.

Blueberry Pizza

1 ¼ c. powdered sugar

1 c. flour

½ c. butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

1 (8 oz.) ctn. Cool whip

2 c. fresh blueberries

In a medium bowl, mix together ¼ cup powdered sugar, flour and butter to a soft dough. Spread the dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining cup of powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix well, then fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture over the cooled crust; top with blueberries. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

I know this recipe is called Blueberry Pizza, but it’s just as yummy if you don’t have a pizza pan if you make it in a 9×13 pan. Enjoy!
