Lovely as A Tree

The Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set is the flagship stamp set of Stampin' UP! (that's my opinion).  Although I have used it many times, this is the first time I have used it in a stamp camp.  It makes a great masculine card.  Another inspiration by Sandy Mathis.  What would I do without her.

Uncharted Territory

I set this card up as a birthday card but my customers found it to be a perfect Father's Day card too.  I'm mourning the retirement of the Uncharted Territory stamp set and the Well Worn Designer Series Paper collection.  They are fantastic for man cards.

Summer Picnic

Summer Picnic

 

This card takes me back to my childhood when my mom took my brothers and me to Forest Park several times each summer.  Along with my grandma, aunt and cousins, we would to the St. Louis Zoo and then have a picnic lunch in the park.  Those picnic lunches of bologna sandwiches with semi-cool koolaid make me wince just thinking about it now but at the time, we were in high cotton. 
The Domestic Goddess DSP reminds me of our picnic table cloth. When I saw this card on Mary Fish's website I knew that I had to have it. We made this card at my September Stamp Camp. Everyone enjoyed building the flower using the Blossum Petal and Scallop Circle Punch.

Shoe Box Exchange & Buddy Swap

All I Want

I attended a Shoebox Exchange yesterday with a group of very talented Stampin’ UP demonstrator’s.  What fun we had. There were 22 demonstrator participating. I took 22 of the same cards (half I fully assembled) and brought home 22 different cards (half I had to assemble) as part of the exchange.   We spent the morning making cards and making new friends.  Afterwards we went to the Ferguson Brewhouse for lunch.  Had to have the brisket again! 

This is a C.A.S.E. (copy and share everything) from  Dawn Olchefske’s.  I pretty much stalk this prominent demonstrator on a regular basis for ideas and inspiration.  I love her style.   I also used this card as my July Buddy Swap.  The adorable little birdie in this stamp set will tell anything that needs to be told.
