Sunny Day Workshop Fun!

HI friends,
These are photos of my workshop from last Saturday. The ladies purchased my Sunny Day Card Kits and we worked on them. I pre-made up twelve cards for them to copy or they could make up their own. I love when they make up their own but usually they want to use my ideas and that is fine! We always have fun!

Tricia was new to the class and made her own cute designs. Thanks for coming! You were a joy to have!

Patty and my long time friend, Melanie. Melanie and Patty used my examples.

Carol, my wonderful MB buddy! Carol made up her darling designs.
Thanks for bringing Tricia and a cake!

Carmen is hard at work!

Evelyn and Lorrie, sorry I did not get your photo. Kerry sorry the kids were sick! I will catch you up on a private lesson! See ya'll in two weeks!

A St. Patty's Day thank you from a dear customer!

Isn't this soooo precious! One of my dear customers and sweet MB friends, made me this darling card. It is so cute and it conveys her fun sense of humor in the message. I just love it! Thank you, Ruth, aka Cricaholic!!

The inside is so cute!! You can't see the embossing but it is deeply embossed.

Gone Fishing!

Hi friends,
I have a bunch of photos to show but have not been on the internet much today. Just needed a break from the mb and some alone time.
I hope to hop back tomorrow with some photos.

Good Friend Birthday Card for my niece

I am nuts about the Stamp Set, Good Friend! I have wanted it for so long. I finally got it after having so much fun with the darling birdie stickers in the Sunny Day Simply Scrappn' Kit.

This is not my original design.  It was from another demo and this was her total idea. Her card was so cute and much cuter.  I switched it out, and stamped the birdie to change it a bit,  but loved the format of her little stitching.

I used Wow Flowers for the birthday sentiment

Happy Together for the darling little flower

Thankful Thinking for the tiny flower

Good Friends for this precious bird

Paper, ribbon, etc from my Sunny Day Card Kit- this was such a great kit!

Only Orange, Pink Passion, & Tempting Turquoise Inks

On this one I  used Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper,  Craft Card Stock,  Orchid Opulence Card Stock, Well Scripted Stamp Set, Chocolate Bunny Stamp Set and the Trio Flower Punch and Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon. I have to say, I think he is too cute!!!

I used the same materials on this one but also the Eggscoutrements Stamp set, Hodgepodge Hardware, Pink Satin Ribbon, Scallop Oval Frame die cut, and the adorable Scallop Trim border which you can earn for free if you spend $50.

No biting his ears off but it would be fun to do a card with one of the ears off!

Thank you Alison for my new blog design!

This was custom created by blog designer Alison Lopez.
She is just the sweetest and the most talented artist!

YOU are such a doll!
It looks so great with my new springy cards but I will miss the wintery
one you designed too!

More Sweet Pea Fun!!

More Sweet Pea fun!! I just love to make long, tall cards and fat square cards the best. I used my Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack to make one of these cards. I also used our Alpine Ribbon which you can find in the Clearance Section on my order site. The Sweet Pea Felt pieces are just too much fun! I even added these to the Digital Print I made from My Digital Studio!



Here is my handmade card and below is my handmade one my DIGI card!! Ok, I take credit for the hand made one but the Digi one- you want to know how simple it is!
I used MDS- My Digital Studio- our new Digi Software from SU! All I did was press card and then press designer card and it was done! I did not even design it, I just added text! Now how easy is that! I added a few of our darling Sweet Pea Stiched Felt #117266- now how cute are these little felt flowers!!

Inside of the card. I used our darling new punch called Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch. I just love this punch! It is item #118073
I have not stamped a sentiment on the inside yet.


This card was so much fun to make! All items can be purchased from my SU site HERE!

Sweet Pea Designer Paper Pack- Oh what fun!!

Oh I am just loving this Paper Pack so much! It is called Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack and comes with two sheets of every pattern of double sided paper. Great for scrapbooking but you know I just had to make some cards out of it.
This one I just love. I added the top part of the tree at the top. I used the Favorites ll buttons from my button share, and our darling little Two Step Bird Punch and inked it up a bit with my Chocolate Chip Ink Spot!
All items can be ordered from my Stampin' Up! site HERE and send directly to you!!


Used the Two Step Bird Punch

The inside of the card has the olive polka dotted paper which is the opposite side of the front piece of paper on the front of the card.
