Stamp Club Creations

I wanted to share with everyone some of the cards that Stephanie Castro made at Sunday stamp club.

One of the things I enjoy most about stamping is that you can use the same parts and change them up for different looks. You can see my original versions in my gallery.

Thanks for sharing your cards, Stephanie!

Happy stamping,

Did You Know That Spiderman Is A Stampin' Up! Fan?

Many of you know that I went to Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in Orlando earlier in January. I came home to our hospital's 4-day Joint Commission survey so I'm just now getting caught up on my Stampin' Up! duties.

One of my favorite parts about going to Leadership Conference is the Managers' Reception that is a special evening reserved for Stampin' Up! managers and above. This year we went to Universal Studios Orlando. The Islands of Adventure area was reserved just for us.

What a fun evening. When we arrived, there was a buffet with different tables throughout the area. The rides and arcade were part of the evening's fun. One demonstrator (not me!) had so much fun on the roller coaster, I heard that she went 19 times!

Spiderman's 3D ride was amazing. You felt like you were flying around helping Spiderman fight all of these villians.

New Catalog Stamp Set: Elegant Thank You

I received this card at Leadership from Susan Selfridge. She did a beautiful job making a simple but classic card with the new Elegant Thank You stamp. It looks like she reverse masked the sentiment and sponged it with Baja Breeze. This card showcases how well Stampin' Up! coordinates their inks, paper and ribbon.

New Catalog Stamp Set: Sweet Stems

This swap card was made by Kathy Johnson. She used the new stamp set, Sweet Stems. I love how she used our square scallop punch to accent the watercolored flowers. The sentiment is part of the Heard From the Heart set.

The color combination of Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red is very eye-catching.

Happy stamping,

New Catalog Stamp Set: Just Buzzin' By

This swap card I received features the stamp set, Just Buzzin' By. Carol, the demonstrator who made this card, did a wonderful job watercoloring the bees and flower. And she even cut out the bee bouncing on the flower stem.

New Catalog Stamp Set: Game Night

This card came from a swap at Leadership in Orlando. It uses the Jackpot Designer Series Paper, the Game Night stamp set and the Stampin' Up! exclusive Top Note Big Shot Die.

Since its July introduction, Stampin' Up! has sold over 20,000 Big Shot Machines. You can see the Big Shot and more SU exclusive dies in the 2009 Spring-Summer Idea Book and Catalog.

There are many ways to get the new catalog for free. You can hostess a workshop, join one of my stamp clubs or place your first online order in February. Regular cost of the catalog is $9.95.

Come by one of my open houses on January 23rd or 24th to see more samples from the new catalog.

A Rose Is A Rose

I loved this card that I received at Leadership in Orlando. It uses the A Rose Is A Rose stamp set. This stamp set is a two step set. The darker details on the roses and leaves come from separate stamps. You stamp the first layer with a lighter color of ink and then the second layer with a darker ink.
