Hello everyone! I have a ton of swap cards still to show you, and the retired list is now out!  So, I will get started with today's batch! This one was by Tamara Davis.  I love the colours,and the diamond in the centre of the flower! I love this one from Kay Capps.  Sticking to just the 2 colours was extremely effective on this card! This one is from Keri Blake - I kept look at this stampset, and now I really am sorry I didn't get it.  That is one cute baby! This one is from Monika Davis.  I...

Hello Everyone, I wanted to share a few cards with you using the Fresh Fruit Stampset and the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper.  These are swap cards that I received in November: I'm not sure who this one was by.  I apologize, if it was you, please let me know so I can give proper credit. This one was by my friend Michele Keifer in Massachusetts.  I love how cute it is, and really wouldn't be difficult for mass production.  A card base, layer of cardstock, layer of designer series paper.  Then a small square of cardstock with another on top,...

Hello! I can not believe how quickly time has been flying by!  Somehow, I can't seem to keep up, but I am trying! I thought I would share with you some photos from our team meeting on Monday night.

This one was from Michelle Lavoie.  I loved the fact she did the emboss resist technique! This one was from Amanda Farlinger.  I love the colours on this...

Hello Everyone! Today I wanted to show you one of the make & takes we did for the February Crop.  A few days before the crop, Sara Douglass, Stampin' Up!'s CEO shared a new technique, and I couldn't wait to try it! It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but the little monster is shiny and darker in some areas then others.  To create this look, take our new fine tip glue (use a partial bottle or save the empty ones!), and add a few drops of reinker to colour.  Then use the bottle to pour colour onto...

Hello! I can't I somehow missed almost a month of blogging!  Time definitely gets away from me these days! Today I wanted to show some fantastic swap cards using the Sale-a-Bration set So Very Much: This one is by Bonnie O'Neill--and as an added bonus it uses another Sale-a-Bration set, Avant Garde! This one is Susan Carlson.  It's another great one that would be super quick if you needed a ton! This one is from Michelle Litwiller, and I love the punched flower and how it adds dimension! This one is from Hattie Walker, and I love that it uses...
