Lotus Blossom
The Lotus Blossom stamp set is a beautiful triple stamp set that can be used with one or multiple colors of ink. It is gorgeous either way. I've seen it all over Pinterest and just had to give it a try. Any sentiment will work with this card for many occassions.

You’re the Best!
The colors in the Best Every Designer Series Paper are very cheerful. Even though this paper series will soon retire, the card design is versatile and could be used with several other paper series.

Granny Mac’s Tea Towels
When I saw this card in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog (page 170) it reminded me of the tea towels my Grandma would hang in her bathroom when she was expecting special company. It was her Sunday School class luncheons that I recall the most. She got out her special luncheon table clothes and napkins. She usually served tuna stuffed tomatoes and cucumber salad made using fresh vegetables from my Grandpa's garden. Dessert was peach cobbler made dirtying only one bowl. She never measured any ingredients and always had a perfect crust.
On with the card…..I replaced the stitching with paper piercing to make it just a little easier on my customers and used a different framelit. I used Old Olive cut from the Bitty Banner punch. I used Naturals White cardstock instead of Crumb Cake. The Blendabilities worked great by the way. And I used Basic Black for my card base as I always like my layers.
Now I have to have some tuna salad. Mmm!
Get Whale Soon
This adorable card was designed by one of my favorite Stampin’ UP! demonstrators, Anne Marie Hile. I love just the right combination of layers and I love to copy everything she does. There are several other sentiments in this stamp set that could be easily used on this card.

Autumn Leaves
The peak season for fall leaves came and went extremely fast this year in the midwest. On the day of my October 16th stamp camp, the trees in woods overlooking my deck were stunning. The maple tree in my side yard was absolutely exquisite. A week later, every leaf was gone leaving the branches bare. This card is a beautiful representation of fall leaves. I initially made it for a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator swap held in September and repeated the project at stamp camp. The versatile Woodgrain Embossing Folder and sponging nearly brings these leaves to life—well maybe silk leaves.
