This first card uses the NEW Graceful Garden stamp set (143846/143849) that is part of the Petal Garden Suite found on pages 56 & 57 of the Annual Catalog. I just love all the wonderful options this suite of products gives us and the colors it contains.

Team time = fun and swaps, so today I thought I’d share some of the cards that my team members made for March’s Team Meeting.

This first card is Deborah’s and she used her new skills that she learned using the Watercolor Pencils to add color to her flowers.

I’ve included the recipe below for this card. (You’ll have to scroll way down to the bottom.)

Mary’s card uses the wonderful Dragonfly Dreams Bundle (144728) and our yummy Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (140550) and Falling in Love Designer Series Paper (142788) with it’s soft colors it’s perfect for spring!

And this final card is from Cindy. Cindy loves soft pastels, so this card is very Cindy as our team says. LOL!

Cindy used the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die (140621) and Layering Ovals Framelits Dies (141706) to create this beautiful Easter card focal point along with the Suite Sentiments Stamp Set (140709/140712).

My team is a large part of what makes my Stampin’ Up! experience so special – they are a wonderful group of crafters who love to stamp, share and we inspire each other with what we love to do….paper craft. What could be better?

Peak Princess Day

I love to pamper my team and Peak Princess Day is all about the pampering! So today I thought I’d share some photos from our last Peak Princess Day in February so you can see what it’s all about.

The day is about pampering, fellowship and sharing as a team so we have some goodies to enjoy while we visit and stamp.

And of course I made these fun little treats for everyone. (You can see more about these Rabbit Mini Coffee Cups HERE).

And  we share too – Here are some 3d projects that Deborah and Cindy brought to show what they were making.

And here is a card Cindy shared using the Falling in Love Stamp set (143106/143109), Window Box Thinlits Dies (142762) and Succulent Garden 3/8″ Ribbon combo Pack (142781).

There has to be some prizes, right? So we drew some names from everyone who qualified for this special day of pampering!

Melanie, Donna, Mary and Deborah all were winners!

We went on to stamp together and tried our hands at some new techniques for our Make n’ Takes.

Can you believe I forgot a team picture? Sigh….next time!

Sound like fun? Would you like to join us next time? Now is a great time and there is no obligation when you join.

Beautiful, Bold Penned & Painted and more

I have to tell you I by passed these two stamps sets that I’m sharing with you today the first time through the Annual Catalog. But after seeing these two great cards from Cathy I’ve gone back and taken a closer look at them both, adding them to my wish list.

Check out this first card using the Penned & Painted stamp set done in our NEW In Colors.

SPenned & Painted C AC Swap 2016 (1)

I think it is striking with it’s trendy bold colors. And of course I LOVE the Ruched Ribbon that is available in each of the 5 In Colors for 2016-2018. It ties wonderfully and is a great width for lots of projects.

And while this next card uses the Touches of Texture stamp set (141934/143251) and uses is a totally different pallet of colors I really love it too. I love the way Cathy used the Thoughtful Banners Bundle (142330) for the sentiment and layered the banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it a 3d feel.

Touches of Texture SC AC Swap 2016 (5)

I think the colors are perfect for a fall card. And the Gold Metal Thread and Gold 5/8″ Satin Ribbon adds a wonderful bit of texture too.

I know my photos can’t possibly show how wonderful the cards really are.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Penned & Painted (141938)

Inks: Emerald Envy (141396) and  Dapper Denim Classic Ink (141394)

Paper: Emerald Envy (141415), Dapper Denim (141414), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Emerald Envy 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon (141425), Basic Rhinestone Jewels (119246)
