It`s almost time

Just a few more hours to go before we say "Goodbye" to some much loved stamp sets, designer series paper, ribbon, décor elements, etc. and "HELLO" to some amazing new products. I am so excited about the 2011/2012 Idea Book & Catalogue. It is truly amazing; it is filled with some very exciting new products that I cannot wait to share with you. 

Offer strength and hope to those dealing with breast cancer by purchasing the Strength & Hope stamp set.
Throughout the 2011 Summer Mini Catalogue sales period, Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each stamp set to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). When you purchase the Strength and Hope package from us, there will also be a donation to The Canadian Breast Cancer Association. I will also donate all of my commissions from the sale of all Strength & Hope sets to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
My sister-in-law and I are offering a special kit with a stamp set and all of the pre-cut cardstock, ribbon and embellishments that you will need to make 6 beautiful all-occasion cards, plus a bookmark. All you need is your own adhesive and ink.

A little fun

This is a card that I made for a friend at work.  His birthday is this week and he loves the Angry Red Bird game.  I hope that he likes the card half as much as he does his game-time during his breaks!!   

Easter projects

Just a quick post today, to share a few Easter projects.  The first was the card that we made at an Easter class a few weeks ago.  I made up a few extra for my family. 

 This is the card that I made for my parents.  I really wanted to use my new Bigz Fun Flower die for the Big Shot.  It also permitted me to try making a square card using the scallop square die. 

And last, but not least, is a carrot that I made using the Petal Cone die as an Easter decoration.  I threaded some ribbon through a button and so the carrot can be filled with goodies for the kids, young and old!  I saw this on Angie Kenedy Juda`s site: http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/chicnscratchlive/ and wanted to try it myself.  After I cut out the cone, I passed it through the big shot again, using the Distressed Impressions Pad from the Texture Plates kit #4.

I hope that you enjoyed your Easter with your loved ones.
