Today I had my team meeting and we had a great time sharing swaps – Our theme this month was masculine and they were all fantastic so I wanted to share them quickly with you today too.

This first card has been teamed up with the Letters for You Stamp set (141968) which is one of my favorite items that is retiring this year, since it is perfect for all kinds of projects including samplers.

And how about this card using our Retiring In Color Trqnquil Tide? It also uses our Water Color Pencils to color the muscle car – yep they aren’t just for water coloring.

And here is a lovely birthday card made using the Gate Fold with an added belly band – If you missed out on the Story Label Punch during Sale-a-bration good news, it will be available again when the 2019 Annual Catalog kicks off June 4th!

Recognize the sentiment? It’s from the retiring All That You Are Stamp set (148664) found in the Occasions Catalog on page 2.

And here is a beautiful card made with the retiring Up & Away Thinlits Dies (142748) that coordinates with the Lift Me Up stamp set (142893/142896) that is also retiring.

The beautiful background was done in Blueberry Bushel stamped. The retiring Marbled Background stamp (143755/144772) has been inked up and then stamped off first before stamping again onto the Whisper White layer to give it a softer feel.

And here is a fun fancy fold card using the retiring Country Livin’ stamp set (141922/141925) and our Well Written Framelits Dies (148534).

I love the way this card opens to hold a gift card or special sentiment. And do you recognize the die used for the Well Written sentiment? It’s the Lakeside Framelits Dies (146351) that coordinates with the Lilypad Lake stamp stet.

This next card was made using the Best Catch Bundle (150605) ad the Crackle Paint Background stamp (148755)

And how about this card made using the Let it Ride stamp set (148765) and the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder (143708). Pat made it in honor of Derby Day this past weekend.

And the final swap card of the day uses the Butterfly Gala stamp set (148580) and Everyday Label Punch (144668).


Like I said it was a lot of fun swapping and sharing – We always stamp together, learn and share.


And of course there are always door prizes

Painted with Love Treats

Posted on by

Yesterday I shared a fun card that we made during this month’s Blue Mountain Stampers’ Team meeting and promised I’d share some of the wonderful swaps with you too.

So here we go! This first project is a fun box that Deborah showed us how to make – it holds quite a bit of goodies inside and doesn’t use any adhesive which is rather cool. This first one was made with the Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies (141707) and Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (145580).

It holds quite a bit of goodies inside and doesn’t use any adhesive which is rather cool.

Here is another version she made using the Fruit Basket stamp set (145833) and Tutti-Fruitti Designer Series Paper Stack (145606).

Where did the little fruit come from? It was supply cut out from the Designer Series Paper! Fun right?

And seems we were on a roll with the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper – as you can see it is really versatile. Loving this pack of paper with that fun gold touch!

Here is a little treat bag using the Sure Do Love You stamp set (145763/145766) and the pretty Love Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack (145588).

Recognize those little gold foil leaves? They are part of the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies (1456553).

And here is a fun nugget holder using the Lift Me Up Stamp set (142893/142896) and Up & Away Thinlits Dies (142748).

I love the way the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper feels like a sky with it’s colorful streaks.

And finally a card made with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (142749)

What can I say, we’ve got a great group and we love to share! Sound like fun? Would you like to come stamp with us too?

So what do you think? Sale-a-bration is a great time to join! Add the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products and you can’t loose! If you feel this is a good time to join Stampin’ Up! and my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers, you too can be first too!

Lift Me Up Chocolate Slider Card

Posted on by

Do you love to make a little something for family and friends for Valentine’s Day? I found these cute little boxes of chocolate recently and couldn’t resist making something with them.

This little project is so quick and easy and since the Lift Me Up stamp set has a lot of sentiments to choose from you could make this project for all kinds of Occasions!

The lid lifts up so that you can write a little something under the lid and the box of chocolate slides out for easy access. My hubby is going to love that. LOL!

Want to learn how to make one for yourself? Here is a quick and easy video tutorial for you.

So In Love

Posted on by

Over Presidents Day weekend I attended my annual retreat with my friend in Helen at the Tanglewood Lodge. I’ve really grown to treasure this time with them – it’s a wonderful break from the every day routine. I feel very lucky that the Peacocks have included me. They’re a wonderful group of ladies who came together during their children’s Camp Fire years and have continued to gather and travel together on a regular basis. Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic? While they all are very different they enjoy their time together and this event includes multi-generation which is so wonderful to see.

The lodge is a wonderful building that has a great space for us to both craft and sit and relax and with the 2 kitchens there is always a wonderful smell wafting through the air. (Especially when some of the teenagers make everyone some simply yummy cookies on Sunday night!)

And this year the weather was simply gorgeous so I was able to enjoy some of the outdoor areas – eating lunch and enjoying the unusually warm weather for February. Last year we had to end early due to ice storm warnings! What a difference a year makes!

And we had a little visitor who needed some special care. This 3 day old created quite a stir. What fun it was listening to the group try to find a name for this little guy Friday night as we settled in.

My friend Kathleen pampered me a bit with some projects she brought with her all cut and ready to go – all I had to do was enjoy the stamping. So today I thought I’d share those wonderful cards she designed.

This first card uses the So In Love Bundle and I’ve included a complete supply list below for you since it was my favorite of the group, but it was a tough choice. LOL!

This second card was made using the Lift Me Up stamp set (142893/142896) and the Up & Away Thinlits Dies (142748).

I really love the way she used a bit of our Cooper Foil Sheets (142020).

And finally a really cute Hey Chick (Sale-a-bration 143328/143331) card. After all I can’t get enough of this set! Kathleen teamed it up with the Hardwood Background stamp (133032/133035) and can you guess what the punch is?

Well it’s the Blossom Builder Punch (141469). What a great way to use this punch in an out of the box way!

And finally the cute little 3d treat that holds some Hershey’s Nuggets using the Balloon Adventures stamp set (142823).

I simply wrapped the 1″ x 3″ pieces of the Party Animal Designer Series Paper (142738) around each nugget and added a glue dot to hold them in place. Slipped them into our 2″ x 8″ Cellophane Bags (102210) and decorated them using our Balloon Bouquet Punch (140609) which made this a quick and easy project since the Duet Banner Punch (141483) fit the sentiment perfectly!

Part of the fun of this retreat is sharing ideas and learning about other crafting too. You should have seen the Alcohol Paintings some of the girls did – they were wonderful. I wish I would have gotten a photo of them to share with you. (Sigh… I always forget the camera once we get started. Having too much fun catching up with everyone.)

If the idea of having a great group of stamping friends appeals to you why not join my team? Not only will you get a wonderful discount on your Stampin’ Up! products, but you’ll have a wonderful group to craft with. We have such fun when we are together and sharing!

Lift Me Up

Posted on by

The Lift Me Up bundle of products is a lot of fun to work with – and who doesn’t smile when they see a hot air balloon? Here in North Georgia we have an annual hot air balloon race. The competitors take off from Helen and vie to be the first one to cross Interstate 95 (the finish line) anywhere from Maine to Miami. The shortest distance for the race is 225 miles. However, the balloons can only travel where the winds aloft take them. I can tell you it’s a colorful sight to see!

The Lift Me Up stamp set also comes with the option of coordinating Thinlits Dies which allow you to make stunning focal points – check out these cards that I was given in a recent swap.

Since the set includes all occasions sentiments you’re sure to find something you like. Here is a card from Anne – clean and simple, but I love the color combination.

I need a card for a guy friend who was recently in the hospital and I think this card will be perfect! What do you think?

And how about this Valentine made by Sandy using the Love sentiment and the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack (142733)?

And finally here is a card from Susan using the coordinating Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Carried Away (143608) and the Birthday Blooms stamp set (140655/140658).
