Pears with Pizzazz
The paisley pattern from the Spice Cake DSP series was not one of my favorites but the more I look at, the more I’m loving it. The subtle layers mellow the paisley which enhances the card without overshadowing the focal point. We made this card at my Stamp Camp yesterday.

Wicked Cool
This is the card we made at my World Card Making Day Open House last Saturday featuring Stampin’ UP’s new Simply Scored scoring tool. The witch’s skirt was a great starter project for making the accordion folded rosettes that are a HOT trend. I highly recommend using the lid of a Hershey’s Hot Fudge jar as a positioning tool to keep the rosette in place while applying adhesive. You could use any jar the matches the measurement of the hot fudge jar but then you wouldn’t be able to have hot fudge sundaes.

Summer Picnic
You’re a Gem
We made this adorable card at my August Stamp Camp. I cased the design from Anne Marie Hile, a fabulous designer. If you're on the fence about purchasing the Just Add Cake designer paper, this card should do the trick. Those butterflies are so darn cute & easy to make. After I made the sample, it dawned on me that instead of using Wild Wasabi ink for the sentiment, why not use Versamark and Wild Wisabi Embossing Powder? So we did!

Donald the Frog
The Pieces of Heart challenge this month was to create a card using at least 10 circles with 2 different sizes. I have named this frog after our mascot, Don Schell who gave us this challenge. I thought it to be quite a challenge until I happened upon this adorable punched owl by Tammy Howel. It was almost as if he came to life as I assembled his parts. There are way more than 10 circles and 2 different sizes so I met the challenge without a contest.
Best thing about this card? With the exception from the Whisper White card base, all of the paper came from my scrap box.

1 – 1 3/4" circle Always Artichoke
1 – 1 3/8" circle Old Olive

August Buddy Swap
I made this 4 ¼ square card for my August buddy swap. I saw the this card on LeeAnn Greff’s blog and thought it would be fun to try this the technique with the Decorative Label punch. It worked like a charm.
The big challenge was stamping the smallest doily onto the Doily Triple layer. As this is not a punch designed to punch after stamping, I turned to my buddies the Stamp-ma-jig and dotto to get it just right. The Delicate Doilies stamp set has some intricate detail and stamps beautifully. I ordered this in wood and I’m glad I did.
I believe this will be a good card for my next camp too as it features the versatility of the Stampin’ Up punches. If you want to know how to make it, my next camp is on September 17, 2011.
