Could You Throw These Cards Away?

I don't know about you, but every time I send a hand-made card to a friend or relative I hear, "I just can't throw your cards away!"

Well not that I think my little works of art aren't good enough for the trash heap, but I must admit  that I'm flattered when people save my cards. 

I just got back from visiting my parents on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.  While there I noticed a box on a bookshelf.  For some reason, it "called" to me one night when I was sitting in the den, and I pulled it off the shelf and opened it.  Imagine my surprise when I found cards--MY cards!--ALL of them!  My mother just couldn't bring herself to throw any of them away.

Recognize any of these sets?  Some are still current (By the Tide, Postcard, Field Flowers).  But since I've been stamping for 10 years, I had a fun trip down Memory Lane!

Just a smattering of the samples from the BIG BOX of cards!  If I tried to photograph them all, I would still be on the Cape!

But a fun little reminder that the heart and soul we pour into our personal creations are cherished by those who receive them...how many of your friends save the Hallmark cards they receive?

And let's get creating--someone wants to save your cards!

It's Coming...

The new Stampin' UP Catalog, Inspire, Create, Share, 2014-2015 is coming! 

I attended a special preview night AT A MOVIE THEATER!  where I got to see this beauty first hand and enjoy a presentation of samples using all new products.  Can you say "fabulous"?  I even got a new stamp set, which has all kinds of possibilities just waiting to be made!

I can't show you the inside yet, but I'm beginning to create samples with my pre-ordered supplies (I LOVE being a demonstrator!) and you'll get to see the stamps and accessories as I use them.  Stay tuned...

Want a copy of your very own?  I'll be hosting an open house this month, and all attendees get to take one home.  Don't live in the area?  Well drop me an e-mail, and I'll be happy to supply one for you.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all my "mom" friends, I wish you a happy Mother's Day!  Here's little eye candy for  you to enjoy on this special day:

Some of you have already seen this beauty; in fact, SOME of you have actually made one!  This was a sample from my Over the Top class last month, and I've been saving it until today to publish it. 

This beautiful "Card in a Box" was made using current Stampin' UP items, some of which are on the retired list, but still my favorites. 

The back of the card, when the recipient (my daughter--a wonderful mom!) opens it, has  a space on which to write a note.  The stems are from Happy Watercolor, and are colored using Blender Pens and Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizazz inks. 

The box is covered in the yummy Designer Series Paper Afternoon Picnic.  Then lots of flowers were stamped from Flower Shoppe and Petite Petals in Wisteria Wonder, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry, all punched out using the Pansy and Petite Petals punches.  Easy Peasy!

Flowers and leaves from the Little Leaves Sizzlet--soon to be retired (**whimper**) are adhered to the "cross beams" of the card using Mini Glue Dots.  

The sentiment from Something To Celebrate was stamped in Wisteria Wonder and the end of the paper was "flagged".  A butterfly was punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch from Champagne Glimmer Paper and adhered with a Dimensional. 

This card folds flat for mailing--imagine the surprise when it all "pops" open to display a beautiful garden!

I hope you enjoy your special day...
