Cherish the Moments
Here’s an adorable card for your stash. Make a stack and have handy for your next baby shower. This can be nicely adapted for a baby boy just by swapping ink and ribbon as one of my customers did using Baja Breeze Pleated Satin Ribbon with Marina Mist cardstock and ink,

Just for You
I used this card with a different color palate (Calypso Coral & Basis Black) for my swap at a recent demonstrator event. Since I used all of my Calypso Coral brads for the swap, I changed the color palate for my stamp camp. I love the way the Modern Label Punch fits so nicely with the Blossum Punch. Another reason why Stampin’ UP! is the greatest at coordinating products.

Inlaid Framelits
I’m calling the technique used in this card an Inlaid Framelit. On a rare occasion believe it or not, I do come up with a concept on my own. Of course it came about accidently but hey, it did come about no less. And it’s not to say that someone else has not already used this same concept but I can honestly say that I didn’t copy it. Sooo…I am patting myself on the back.
I first cut out the center with Whisper White. Then with the same label framelit, I cut out the mat with Calypso Coral. This cuts out the center of the label to accomodate the Whisper White label. Next I used the framelit one size larger and centered it over the previous cut. This embossed and cut outside of the mat.

Sale-a-Bration Pinwheel
My other tied-for-first-place as the favorite card from stamper’s vote last Saturday. This is such a fun card to make and super easy. I found the pattern from Gretchen Barron and had to give it a try. Some of my stampers chose different papers from the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper pallet and they all turned out beautifully. This layout is a great multi-occassion card suited for any age. It's a keeper.

Double D Bow Maker
This card tied for first as the favorite at last week’s stamp camp. It’s very simple but exceedingly elegant. It could be used for many occassions and I believe my stampers used all of the sentiments in the Perfectly Penned stamp set to make their card their own.
I know what you’re thinking. What about that bow? Well it just so happens that I have a new toy. Love new toys. I got this bow maker from Glenda Galkin, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from Michigan. Glenda’s sixth grade son Dean, is making these using the skills he learned in wood shop at school. If you know anything about me, you know that I am an absolute sap when it comes to helping entrepreneurial kids. Even better when it fills one of my tool junky squares.
Another unique concept about this card is the structure. The base of the card is 5 ½” x 4 ¼”. This card is made with Basic Black Card Stock. The Whisper White Card Stock is cut at 10 ½” by 4”, folded & scored in half and mounted to the Basic Black Card Stock. I received this card for free as a bonus with my bow maker. What a deal for the Queen of Copy!
