Stamp Crazy Girl

Everything Eleanor

One of my favorite new stamp sets is the Everything Eleanor set.  I think it may be my new "go-to" stamp set.  :)

I created this card portfolio for one of my hostesses at a recent workshop.  I think it was well-received because it is so easy to create and makes such a great gift!

Are You Mother's Day Ready?

Mother's Day is one week away... Sunday, May 13th.  Have you made your cards and gifts yet?  How about a little inspiration... flowers are always good for Mother's Day!  :)

 

I hope I inspired you to make something pretty.  :)  Have a great week!  shelly

Summer Smooches Projects

Last week I posted the Summer Smooches promotion for April, and I have to admit that I adore the products in this suite.  You can find it at the link below:

Here a couple projects that we created at my last Stamp Crazy downline meeting:

You can see that all three projects use the Summer Smooches Designer Series Papers... so pretty in person!  And the coordinating fabric brads are ONLY available during April.  They will not make it to the big book when it is published June 1st.

This card uses the Bright Blossoms stamp set and greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes (must have set!). 

The adorable Petite Purse die - so easy to put together!

Sweet 3x3 gift card created with the Postage Stamp punch and a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes (AGAIN!)

Happy Easter - He is Risen!

I wanted to share this gorgeous sugar egg that my friend Mary Jo created for me.  She is such a crafty girl!  I hope she tries out for the Artisian Award team at Stampin' Up this year.  She is incredible!

 

 

And how about a quick card share... this Easter card features the single stamp Easter Dove from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It's perfect for Easter but a great year round stamp, too.

I hope you are spending time with your loved ones this Easter weekend.  My dad and his wife came for a visit yesterday.  They live 4 1/2 hours away from me, and I never get to spend as much time as I would like with them.  :)

And the cousins enjoyed an Easter egg hunt... not too old yet to hunt for candy and money.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great week!

Dresden Die Cut

One of our new dies in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Dresden die.  It was specifically designed for fabric and quilting.  So how about a few samples:

A cute sample using Designer Series Papers... so it is versatile enough for papercrafting projects, too!

Hope you are inspired... these photos make me want to get out my sewing machine.  :)

Gift from Jeanine

My friend and downline Jeanine brought me this adorable box!  I honestly squealed with delight!

That Jeanine is one talented stamper!  I'm glad she's part of my team.  :)

Simply Adorned

Stampin' Up is revamping their catalog schedule and some of their product lines.  Our current catalog will end May 31st.  Two of our product lines will not be returning:  Decor Elements and Simply Adorned. 

Decor Elements is our vinyl wall art.  I recently put up a bird cage in my entry way (and it looks fabulous!!!)  And here's a necklace I created with our Simply Adorned charms and an existing necklace:

 

 

Olivia Works

Look what Olivia is making for the Open House Party this weekend:

These cute little containers would make great gifts for friends, family, coworkers, teachers or Easter Basket fillers.  Comes with candy, too!

Hope you can stop by my Sale-a-brate'n with Friends Party!  There are 6 vendors coming, so you can shop spring lings from Stampin' Up, JuJu Belle, Tastefully Simple, 31 Gifts, Scentsy, and Olivia Works.  It's this Saturday, March 10th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  Free make and take at my Stampin' Up booth, too!!!  :)

 

Jeanine's gift

My friend Jeanine brought me this sweet gift, and I haven't had a chance to post it yet.  I think it is just too adorable and could be adapted for any holiday or occasion. 

Isn't she precious!

It gets better...

That girl is so talented!!!  And I am lucky to have her as part of my team.  :)

Mixed Bunch

I always have make and takes at my downline meetings.  My next downline meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 26th from 6:30-8:30 PM.  If you are interested in jumpstarting your hobby or business, now is a great time with our Sale-a-bration special.  You get over $450 worth of product for $125 - plus an opportunity to earn a $175 bonus with six months of consistent sales.  What do you have to lose???

Back to the meeting... Cost is $5 to attend.  We swap business and creative ideas and STAMP.  RSVP to shellyluvsstamps@earthlink.net by 3/20/12 if you would like to attend. 

Here's what my Stamp Crazy Girls created in February.  We used the Mixed Bunch stamp set on all three projects:

I adore stamp sets that coordinate with our punches.  Use the 1" and 3/4" circle punches for the middles... AND... we have a new Blossom punch that coordinates with this set!  LOVE!!!  You can find both the stamp set and coordinating punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

 

I think this card is kind of Boho-chic!  :)

Old Olive flower is created with the Blossom punch... can you guess how the Poppy Parade petals were made?

It's our Modern Label punch - fits exactly!  Thanks to Dawn Olchefske for this great idea.  I would have never figured it out... sigh...

And then we created a very fun and spring-y butterfly.  :)  Here's the backview:
