The 2011 Catalog is Here!
Yay! The new catalog is officially launched and online. I am still debating over which of the cool new stamps and papers I have to have now; but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to check out all the fun new stuff yourself. Plus, don’t forget, I’m offering free shipping through July 5th!
Some of my favorites so far include the new Pennant Punch to make cute little banners on cards and scrapbook pages, the new In Colors, ruffled ribbon, and too many stamps to count. If you want to see everything that is new, you can see it all together online here.
In the meantime, here is another card I made recently using the new In Colors and the fun new scallop ribbon. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Mom!
I had to put up a post today because it is a special day, it’s my mom’s birthday!
I just got back from a weeklong visit with her and my Dad, which was a lot of fun. Nicholas got his first walk in snow and my mom got a ton of time to play grandma (which since we currently live two states apart, that is a valuable commodity). And can you tell he loves being with his Grandma too?
My mom is a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and super crafter (you should see some of her cross-stich pieces and quilts!) So, we spent the last week crafting but I didn’t want to make a card for her when she was sitting across the table from me, so I put together something after I got home with her in mind. Its not your typical card layout but I just had too much to say.
Want to share the birthday love? Stop by my mom’s blog and wish her a happy birthday. She has no idea I’m posting this but I know it would bring a smile to her face.
Thanks for sharing my cheer and stopping by today!

A Handmade Wedding Book and Card
I’m back! I had such a blast in Vegas. This was my first vacation since having my son, and though I missed him, it was great to have adult time and he got some quality time with Grandma. We also lucked in to a crazy room upgrade – we got a room on the “50”th floor looking at the Bellagio fountains! Amazing!
We were there for our friends wedding and so I had made them a book to save the photos and memories of this trip. I got the supplies and learned the binding technique at a store demonstration when visiting my mom. Now that I get how it works, I’m going to see if I can replicate it with Stampin’ Up! supplies.
I had the book all ready to go, but still needed to make a card, so I took my supplies with me and planned to put it together in Vegas. Well, I discovered when unpacking that I completely forgot my clear mounts! So I had to get a little creative so I could mount my sentiment. Turns out, if you are desperate, you can use the stamp case as a mount. It doesn’t work as well as a clear block, but it will work!
But in the end, I was able to pull together a card that I love and was so happy to give to them while celebrating this awesome time for them.
Wedding Card Recipe:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Occasional Quotes
Ink: Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Whisper White CS, Chocolate Chip CS, Blushing Bride CS
Accessories: Adhesive Back Pearls, Victoria Crochet Trim Ribbon, Small Heart Punch

Early holiday greetings
Next month I will be starting my Christmas card stack classes where you can add a personal touch to your holiday greetings by making your own christmas cards. In anticipation of this class, I’ve started trying out some different christmas designs. This was a very quick and simple card that gave me a chance to break out some of my new ribbon and complete a card with minimal supplies needed.
Recipe:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Chocolate chip
Paper: Kiwi Kiss CS, Whisper White CS, Bella Rose DSP
Accessories: Ridinghood Red Taffeta ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

Saving another card
So, I had a card that I really wanted to case that used many of the same elements as my card below. However, that card was pink and black and I’ve found that most of the examples I’ve been drawn to lately are pink and brown or black. So, I thought that I would try out the new In Color blues instead of pink. They are really nice blues and go well together, but once I started stamping, I thought it got a bit busy and I had cut some of the pieces bigger than I thought so it was time to start re-engineering the design. I’m beginning to think this will be a common experience. 🙂 Once I changed up the layout, I decided it was still missing something and since the only extra accessories I had were brads, they got added for a little extra shine.
One note with brads, I highly recommend putting them through all of the layers of the white, blue, and black cardstock first and then affix the stack to the base cardstock with stampin’ dimentionals. I started out only putting them through the white and blue paper but then had a hard time gluing the set to the black cardstock.
Recipe:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Heard from the Heart
Ink: Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper white CS, Baja Breeze CS, Pacific Point CS, Basic Black CS
Accessories: Silver brads, Stampin’ Dimensionals
