Swap for SU Convention

Hello....I apologize for missing for so long! I just came back from Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. All I can say is WOW!! I loved this company before, but after going to my first convention, this company is AWESOME!!

I wanted to share a card today that I took as a swap card. I made 80 of this card to swap with other demonstrator's from all over the world. I wish I would have had time to make many more. I received so many great cards in return! This card was so fun to make, even after making 80 of them. I used one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets called Winter Post (#111780). This stamp set has 7 different images in it. For the background I used En Francais (#109521), I have used this background stamp on several projects. I also used 3 different punches: Jumbo Snowflake (#116628), Modern Label (#116630) and Word Window (#105090). I used an embossing folder and the big shot on the Old Olive card stock.

Call me today to schedule your workshop and we can get started on your Christmas Cards. Stampin' Up! has just came out with a new Idea Book & Catalog. My wish list is a mile long!!!! If you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at: sraines1107@att.net.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a great day!

Hello,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We had a really busy weekend. My grandson had a T-ball game Friday evening at Bloomfield. He received one of two game balls for doing so well. Saturday, we celebrated my granddaughter's 4th birthday at Mr. Gatti's. (It's amazing how fast the years fly by.) Then yesterday, my daughter that lives in Bloomfield had Father's Day at her house. We had a cookout and enjoyed the rest of the day just by relaxing and chatting with each other. All in all, we had a terrific weekend!

Today, I wanted to share another project using the Fancy Favor box die. I ran the die through my Big Shot and then added sticky strip to assemble the box. This was so easy to put together. Before assembling the box, I once again used the July Fourth stamp set. (I can't get enough of this set. I love it!) For the top portion of the box I used the Red, White & Blue Jumbo Wheel from Stampin' Up! I sponges around the edges of the box, then added Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon. If you have any questions about any of the product used on this box, please contact me at sraines1107@att.net. You can also go to my SU webpage to view any of these items by clicking on the link on the sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a Great Day!

4th of July

Hello,

Today's post is a short one. But, I wanted to share another card using the July Fourth stamp set. I am loving this set and I can think of so many ways I want to use it. I have made another Fancy Favor Box using the July Fourth set. I will share this box with you as soon as I can get a picture of it and upload it to my computer. So....come back soon!!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a Great Day!

Red, White and Blue

Hello,

Well, we made it through another week. I can't believe how fast the weeks fly by. My weekends even go faster. :(

The card I am sharing today is made using the July Fourth stamp set. This new stamp set is available May 1 - August 31. It has 7 images in this set. Just think of all the projects that you can make using this July Fourth set. I made this card to send out for the 4th of July. You could also use this set to make BBQ invitations or even use it on scrapbook pages. I love anything that is Americana, so I was really excited to see this set in the Summer Mini Catalog. If you would like to receive this catalog, just let me know and I will get one in the mail to you.

If you have any questions on how I put this card together, please feel free to ask me. I love sharing ideas with others!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a Great Weekend!
