April Stamp of the Month Club

I've got babies on the brain!! This month's stamp set of the month was Cuddles & Kisses from the Spring Mini Catalog. And what a cute set it is!
Members will get these 3 cards with their stamp set plus the scraps to make the footprint card in the middle. It is my favorite card this month..and EASY! 

It'll be sad to see Wisteria Wonder go at the end of May but there will be great new In Colors to replace it. It was a sigh of relief when I saw Pool Party was carried over!! Watch this video for a reminder of all the color changes going on with the Color Refresh.

And look at this cute kit that Stampin' Up! just announced this morning! Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!  It's ONLY while supplies last you order now in my online store -- just $12.95!!

Kit Contents:

• 2 sheets of preprinted and precut flowers on 12" X 12" cardstock; makes 13 flowers using Pool Party, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Rich Razzleberry

• 13 Vintage Faceted Buttons

• 13 green floral wire stems

Bachelorette Invites

I am so excited I got the chance to make invitations for a friend's bachelorette party! There are so many different ideas on Pinterest these days but when I saw this corset style one I knew it was the winner.

 

Just another project that I couldn't have done without framelits! I used the largest heart that is scalloped to make the top and the oval framelits to cut out the sides.

 

 

This inside pulls out for all the party details -- it is so easy making your own invitations on MDS (Hello, free 30 day trial people!!). I was able to make the project just the right size before I started typing so I didn't have to mess around while printing (I love that feature of MDS).

 

 

 

Just a few more days before the Retired List comes out so stay tuned!! You won't want to miss any of the deals. I got a sneak peek Saturday night of the new catalog and I get preorder stuff on Wednesday and I can't hardly wait!! I love this time of year with Stampin' Up! There is always so much going on. Don't forget about the Color Refresh going on!!

 

And even better -- get more for your money right now! Either join the SU fun or host a party!!

 





Big Shot Club

Another mini club starting in May is the Big Shot Club -- this was a favorite last go around! May's club features the milk carton die. I never would have thought that you could do anything else but milk cartons with it but that couldn't be further from the truth!

 

It is hard to see in the picture but the bunny is actually open on the top -- perfect for treats. The box in the middle is made by putting 2 milk cartons together and the roof on the bird house opens up. But you really need to sign up for the club to learn all the tricks for these projects!! Email me ASAP to reserve a spot or check out my website by clicking HERE. Here are all the details of the club:

Don't Miss the Card Buffet!

The cards are half done! I have 8 of the 16 cute and easy cards ready for the upcoming card buffet! You won't want to miss out on this event -- come either weekend or both to really stock up on some great cards.

 I love how easy it is to make a purse with the Top Note die and the DSP Patterned Paper Stack. Just change out the sentiment for any occasion -- the Curly Cute stamp set goes great with this card! And we can all use a variety of birthday cards on hand. The cupcake punch and stamp set, Create a Cupcake, have so many uses and is a great addition to your collection.

Never been to a card buffet?! YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Here are all the details --
