Need a great male card? The Open Sea stamp set is wonderful for making masculine cards and here is a great card that my friend Bonnie gave me recently during one of our demonstrator gatherings. I really like the way she used our Stampin’ Distressing Tool (item 127562) from the Spring Catalog to distress the edges of the card stock.
Did you notice that this card was created using our Not Quite Navy Ink and Cardstock that are being retired? Although I’m excited about the upcoming Color Refresh, I’m going to really miss Not Quite Navy. It’s always been one of my go to colors for masculine cards. I’m sure I’ll find myself reaching for our In Color Midnight Muse more and more when Not Quite Navy is no longer available soon.

Stampin’ Up! just announced that they will be packaging their wood-mount stamp sets in NEW Wood Mount Cases! Yippee!! I was so excited about this news because these NEW Wood Mount Cases are similar to our clear mount cases so they will fit perfectly together on your shelf. Needless to say this makes the organizer in me squeal with delight – uniform and “modular” in design. They will also have the images and stamp set names on the spine to make searching for the set you want even easier.
I know you’re asking when these will be available- Well the NEW Wood Mount Cases will become available as of May 31st when the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog goes live. AND extra Wood Mount Cases will also be available just like our Clear Mount Cases currently available now!

Here are two more cards I wanted to share with you that my Team members gave me during our swap this month. I think they are both such fantastic cards that I didn’t want to not share them with you before the end of today.
This first card Cindy made and in addition to the Feeling Sentimental stamp set (item 1296237/129630) it uses our Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 126917). I love the richness and vintage feel of this card, don’t you?
And did you know that since the Natural Composition DSP has a raised pattern on it you can use it to create any color paper you’d like simply by adding classic ink with a sponge? Cindy also used our Apothecary Accents Framelits (item 127003) to create this great negative image where she placed her sentiment. How cool is that?
Tamara’s swap uses the Bloomin’ Marvelous stamp set (item 129651/129654) and just makes smile and think of spring. I love the colors she chose to go with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (item 125409) she used across the bottom.
We have such fun together at the Blue Mountain Stampers Team meetings each month. Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? I would love to have you join in the fun.

Have you ever wondered what happens at one of my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers’ Meetings? Well I thought I would share with you one of the projects we made during my February TEAM meeting.
I’ve had several of you ask me if I knew any tricks on how to make these cute little pinwheels using our NEW Pinwheel Sizzlits Die from the Spring Catalog. They are sooo stinking cute, but they are small so they can be a challenge to put together if you don’t know a few tricks.
Since I made about 100 of them for my Leadership swaps in January I had plenty of time to try out different methods of putting them together. Today I thought I’d share with you what method worked best for me so I put together a Tips for Quick & Easy Pinwheels Video Tutorial to show you what I learned.
Want to make one of your own Pinwheel Wishes card? Well you can, just click Here for a FREE PDF TUTORIAL with measurements and directions just for you. I hope you have as much fun making these cute little Pinwheels as I did.

One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is spending time sharing ideas and projects with my fellow demonstrators. I’ve been so blessed with the friendships and the people I’ve meet while on my journey as a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! I wanted to share a little bit about my team with you.
My Team’s name is the Blue Mountain Stampers, chosen due to fact that we live here in the North Georgia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Recently we met for our monthly meeting and so today I want to share some of the wonderful swaps my team members brought along with them to swap.
Tamara made this cute little Sweet Treat Box for Valentine’s Day using the adorable Owl Builder Punch (item 118074) and the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (item 129312) that she got in her Starter Kit. Filled with chocolate kisses it’s not only too cute but is sure to be a hit with anyone! (Quick hide it from my husband – Somehow he always knows when a swap contains chocolate!)
This next swap was created by Janie. Janie whom recently celebrated her one year anniversary as a demonstrator, gave us these wonderful cards and coordinating envelopes. I just love the way Janie thinks outside the box. She used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (item 126902) and the Lovely Letters Alphabet stamp set (item 115030/127786) to create a personalized note card in different colors for each of us.
And finally Cindy who has been a demonstrator the longest now, brought these wonderful swaps using the Love You Much image from our NEW Best of 25 Years stamp set for February – Best of Love stamp set (item 132987) to create her two items.
I love the little envelope she made using the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (item 126922). Doesn’t it make you smile just looking at it? The hearts were created with our Hearts a Flutter Framelits (item 130159). Both these great items can be found in our Spring Catalog.
The second item Cindy gave us makes a great gift item for someone’s desk. I really like the way Cindy used the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 129309) to decorate the fabulous NEW Designer Builder Brads (item 129329) and binder clip don’t you?
Does this look like fun? Is this something you might be interested in doing? Have you ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up?

Here is a great card that I recently received from my friend Anna in our monthly Stamp Divas swap. Anna used the single stamp Two by Two(item 126788) to make this wonderful card. I just love the soft colors she used when coloring the Two by Two image – what a great baby card!

Today I’m sharing with you a card my TEAM member Janie created using the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle for our last meeting. I know I’m sharing this a few days late – but better late than never right? (Fortunately or unfortunately, however you look at it, late last night I realized that I never hit send on this post and it was just waiting to be published – oops!)
I think the card is fantastic, don’t you? Janie used the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set as the focal point of this card along with the wonderful Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack. A steal at just $6.95 for 48 4 ½” x 6 ½” sheets!
As we were putting the card together and having so much fun, Cindy thought it would be great to step it up by taking the original watermark concept on the ornament by adding gold embossing powder too. The results were striking don’t you think? And with the “bling” of our wonderful Champagne Glimmer Paper – it was a wow moment!

An extra-wide 6-1/4″ cutting base and an extended 14-1/2″ ruler
The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4″ (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16″ and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won’t wear off.
The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin’ Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
A full 12″ cutting and scoring track
The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don’t have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you’re not using them.
The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12″ (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you’re cutting.
The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
Storage compartment under base
The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you’ve stored.
item 126889; $29.95
