Circle Circus

     I have so much fun using the Circle Circus stamp set.
     My favorite use for it is to design paper.  Many times I do not have a paper that coordinates with the colors I want to use.  However, because I have this stamp set, that doesn't have to keep me from creating a eye-pleasing card.
     As you can see in this picture, it makes a very nice background for a masculine birthday card.
     I've listed the Stampin' Up! products used to create this card.

Easter Basket

I designed this basket last year for one of my stamp clubs.  I wanted to do something "Eastery", but I quickly realized I have no Easter stamp sets.  So I improvised.  I thought, "Easter signifies new life.  Butterflies make me think of new life".  It's a bit of a stretch, but it came out really cute. 

 

I brought the basket back out yesterday to show the ladies in my newest stamp club.  (That's right!  I'm up to three clubs!  Woohoo!)  Of course, it had been a year since I last made this box.  My brain was a little fuzzy on the details.  Instead of a 6" square, I started out with a 9" square.  So yesterday's basket came out a little bigger than the original.  The bigger the basket, the more chocolate you can stuff in it.  Am I right?  :)

 

I am hoping to get a chance to post this later as a tutorial with more details and more pictures.  For those of you who are in  my stamp clubs, you know what to do from here.  Happy Scrapping!

Love Birds

I'm a little late getting this card posted.  Valentine's Day was over a month ago.  I finally uploaded all the pics of my recent cards to my computer.  So forgive my tardiness. 

I had a recent demonstration where I used the bird builder punch for our make-n-take.  When we finished our project, I made this card, also using the bird punch, to show the ladies another example.  It was the week before Valentine's, hence the "happy valentine's day" sentiment.  However, you could swap that sentiment out with another one from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set to make this a wedding card, or an anniversary card.  You could even make it a "love you" card, using the Short & Sweet stamp set.

This card seems to be a favorite among my customers.  So I thought I would share it with you.  I've listed all the Stampin' Up! products used to create this project below.
