Here is a very simple Easter card using the Easter Blossoms stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions mini catalog and the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder from the Idea Book & Catalog. I also used the Concord Crush In Color classic ink for my stamping.

I've been working on a really fun class for my March Stamp Camp. So many of you have lots of Stampin' Up! punches and I thought I would show you how to make some cute animals using your punches. We will be decorating a tin to look like a barn door and inside will be six note cards, featuring animals that you will find in the barn or barnyard. This class will be held only on Sunday, March 20th, at 1:00 p.m. It will include the tin, note cards and envelopes, and the project packets to make everything shown.
NOTE: There will be no class on Saturday, March 19th.

I really love the new Stampin Up! Blossom Petals XL Punch from the Occasions Mini. It is so easy to create beautiful flowers for your cards and scrapbook pages. This is one of the cards from last weekend's stamp camps. We also used the coordinating stamp set called Build A Blossom to give some deminsion to the blossoms.

Recently one of my customers wanted to schedule a stamping party to celebrate her birthday. What a fun idea! She got to spend a great evening with her friends and family and while earning lots of FREE merchandise from Stampin' Up!
I decided to make Kathy a 'piece of cake' filled with goodies, complete with a little votive candle. I used the Springtime Vintage Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini to decorate the slice of cake and candle. Doesn't the cake look yummy?

I just love the little owl from the free Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration stamp set called Punch Bunch, which coordinates with the Two-Step Owl Punch. Here's the Post-It Note key ring we made at stamp this past weekend. It was so easy to make and I think it would be great for a Teacher Appreciation gift. But you will need to hurry and place your qualifying order, as Sale-a-bration ends on March 21st!
Supplies: Punch Bunch stamp set (Sale-a-bration Mini); Two-Step Owl Punch (Idea Book & Catalog); First Edition Designer Paper (Occasions Mini) & Glimmer Paper (Occasions Mini); Crop-a-Dile (Idea Book & Catalog)

This past weekend were my February Stamp Camps and we made some really cute projects. One of the cards I chose to make was cased from a swap I received at Leadership in January. For this card we used the stamp set, Eat Chocolate, from the Occasions Mini. After all, everyone needs a little chocolate!
Supplies Used: Eat Chocolate (Occasions Mini); Decorative Label Punch (Occasions Mini); Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon (Idea Book & Catalog); Elegant Lines Embossing Folder(Idea Book & Catalog)
1. Emboss the Early Espresso card stock with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
2. Adhere the Pretty in Pink Ribbon to the strip of Crumb Cake, then adhere to the front of the card.
3. Stamp the image from the Eat Chocolate stamp set with Early Espresso ink pad. Take off the ink on the icing of the middle cupcake using Blender Pen. Color icing with Regal Rose marker. Punch out the image with the Decorative Label Punch. Punch out the Regal Rose card stock with the punch; trim off the points and cut in half. Adhere it to the back of the stamped image offsetting it for a layered look.
4. Punch hole in top of tag and add Linen Thread. Tie tag to the ribbon.

I thought today it would be fun to post a video from Shelli Gardner, co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! You can't help but get caught up in the fun of creating with Shelli as she shows how much more there is to Stampin' Up! than just stamps!
Isn't this a fun card? My downline Debbie N. designed this card for our shoebox swap and we all had a great time making it. Debbie used the stamp set Sew Suite from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini. There is so much dimension to this card -- it's almost too cute to use as a card -- it would really look great in a shadow frame in a sewing room!
This 6-image set includes a sewing machine, spool of thread with needle, pincushion, and dressmaker form which will make fabulous backgrounds, accents, and centerpieces on projects for giving to your favorite seamstresses or dedicated to memories of sewing creativity, while the tape measure and buttons frame images are perfect for stylized borders and framed greetings or notes. This set is available both in wood-mount and clear-mount.

Who doesn't love chocolate? I think one of the cutest stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini is Eat Chocolate and is a perfect stamp set for the chocoholic! My downline Debbie W. chose this stamp set for her shoebox swap and we all had fun making her card, complete with candy bar. Wouldn't this be a cute card to give someone who was under-the-weather?
For many of us, chocolate isn’t just a favorite treat, it’s a passion! This stamp set has sweet and funny greetings and graphics all spun with the love of chocolate give this set unique meaning and lots of personality. The stamp set is available both in wood and clear mount. It is also available in French.
Today's card was designed by another one of my wonderful downline, Ruth C. She is a long time stamper and scrapbooker and just joined my team in November. Ruth chose the Easter Blossoms stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini for her shoebox swap when we got together on Saturday. I really love the colors she chose for her card.
