Tuesday card share- Convention Countdown- 1 day

I'm heading to Utah this morning- Woohoo! Can't wait to get there.  This is one of my "swap" cards that I will be sharing with you.

Loved doing this " poppies"  swap card for Convention. Wanted to try something different for me- to use the daubers to color in the stems and flowers. Used Gumball Green for the stems and  Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple for the poppies. Backed it with River Rock and used the new Raspberry Ripple ribbon. The DSP is from the Comfort Cafe  series. Love the look of the scallop  and round punches to highlight part of the poppies. Be sure to check back tomorrow for a look at another "swap" card.  Happy Stamping!

Natures' Miracle

This is a picture that I was able to take out of my living room window yesterday-  I can't believe that I actually was able to snap this picture through the window.  There are 2 babies in the nest and the "Mama and"Papa" robin are taking such good care of them.  I don't know which one was feeding the chick.  It rained off and on yesterday and the " Mama" came back and sat on the nest protecting her "chicks".

Saturday share- Convention Countdown- 4 days!

Wanted to try out this 3-D card that I saw on Julie Davison's blog- and wanted to try out the new Stamp set from the upcoming Holiday "mini" Love the new ribbon also. Think it will be great for a "Halloween" card. What do you think? Only 4 more days till Copnvention Am so looking forward to seeing what StampinUp has planned for us.  Till then, Happy Stamping!

Friday share- Convention Countdown 5 days

Sneak peek at some of the 3-D projects I did for Convention. Love the Mixed Bunch  stamp set AND the Blossom punch.  It has been a favorite go to set for me. Below picture is of some more 3-D projects I did for some of my stamping friends.  Won't be long till Convention- Only 5 more days!  Can't wait!

Thursday card swap- Convention countdown-6 days

I loved making this Christmas card- The Greeting Card Kids

is a set I'm particularly fond of. Really love all the embossing folders and the dotted scallop ribbon. Back to getting ready for convention. Happy Stamping!

Wednesday card share- Countdown to Convention- 7 days

Still working on some last minute Convention swaps so checked out some of the cards I had done some time back. I can't remember where I originally saw this idea, but if it was yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.  I really liked the design of this card, so sad that the brads were not carried on in the new SU catalog.  I wasn't sure if I liked the set, Bright blossoms when I first saw it but it sure "grows" on you.  It's amazing that until I see a card made with some of the sets, that I begin to see the possibilities with that particular stamp set.  The bottom card was just made with the Postage Stamp punch and the "Perfect Polka Dots" embossing folder.  Hope you enjoy the cards.  Happy Stamping!

Tuesday card share- Convention countdown 8 days

My friend "Mr. Brown" brought my SU pre-order today-  was so excited to get it that I had to make a quick Halloween card

with one of the new stamp sets offered in the new HOLIDAY CATALOG, available August1,2012-January 3,2013.  I just used 2 colors of cardstock, River Rock and Ivorys Natural and some of the new DSP. It's a pretty straight forward card.  The inside is below.  Hope you like it.  Am working on a few more Convention swaps.  Happy Stamping!
