Bashful Blue Medallion


I used the Medallion stamp and the flowers from the Charming set. Colors are Bashful Blue and Night of Navy.

Charming Soft Sude (Too busy??)


This uses the Charming set once again, but was too busy for me. This was my first attempt...so I turned it and reduced the number of panels. The second attempt is much better.

Charming Suede


I used the Charming stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Colors are Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. I plan on using this during my Holiday Mini Celebration Workshop.

Curry and Gray Medallion


This card features the Medallion in Crushed Curry with accents of Basic Gray. I used my paper piercer around in inner circle of the Medallion. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Suede and Melon Medallion


This card features the Medallion stamp. I LOVE this stamp!!! I used Melon Mambo and Soft Suede. The frame for the words is used from the Charming set out of the Holiday Mini.

Happy Birthday, Human


This card features the Lots of Bots stamp set. I used Bermuda Bay, Basic Gray, and Crushed Curry.

Halloween Goodies














Pictured here are packs of gum wrapped in paper with Batty For You on Scallop circles. Also pictured is a stack of pink paper tablets decorated up and a mini M&M plastic canister.

Treat Bag















This is my first attempt at a large treat bag. I made it using old materials so I felt free to play around. My next one will use SU products and look much nicer. Took approximately 6 minutes to make this! So easy and fun!

Batty Baroque


I need to design a few things for my upcoming Halloween Haunts class...this is my first attempt. I used the bat from Batty For You and the big stamp from Baroque Motifs. I like the idea here, but don't feel that I executed it well. I will continue to play with it. Tomorrow I am expecting an SU order to be delivered which will broaden my options. FUN!!!

Thank you in Retired Artfully Asian





This project features the retired set Artfully Asian. Colors are Creamy Caramel, Basic Black, and Whisper White. I created the box template by modifying one I found on the SU website. There are four cards, each unique, in this set.

Peek-a-Boo in Chocolate Chip & Melon Mambo


You Rock!


This card was designed by Samantha Allgood for our Birthday Basics class. Colors are Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White. The large scallop circle is a Big Shot die. The Stamp set featured here is Just Jawing. The ribbon and sparkles used are not Stampin Up! There is just a touch of paper piercing to the upper right corner to give it that little extra something.

Happy Birthday Masculine


This card features Soft Suede, So Safron, Very Vanilla, and Not Quite Navy. The Happy Birthday greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the Letter B combo and academic lines are from Defining Alphabet. I used the Spiral Punch and a paper clip from the Clips assortment.

Pocket Silhouettes Take 2



Can't decide what colors to use. This card features Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, and Old Olive.

Cupcake Peek-a-boo Box



Colors are Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and So Saffron by Stampin' Up! Stamp set used is called Crazy for Cucakes. I seem to have one measurement slightly off. I will correct this and post another soon. This box is the perfect size to house 5 Hershey's miniatures. I have them wrapped in coordinating cardstock.

Pocket Sihouettes in Mambo and Bright Blue


Stamp sets used are Pocket Silhouettes and Great Friend. Colors are Melon Mambo, Bright Blue, and Whisper White. Die cut is a Top Note. The butterfly is folded slightly in the center and is mounted on a dimensional to make it pop.

Black & White & Bermuda Bay


Stamp set is again Pocket Silhouettes. I am disappointed in how this turned out. I will re-do this card and do something different with the top of the card.

Bright Blue & Certainly Celery Pocket Sillouettes


I am completely NOT satisfied with this card. I love the color combination and desperately want to do something with it. This card just needs a little something. I'll set it out where I can see it and mull over it for a few days. Suggestions???

Cupcake B-day card


Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set by Stampin' Up! Cardstock and ink colors are Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip. This is my first card using paper piercing. I really like the effect. I also used a hole punch along the scallop border to add an eyelet-type feel to it.

Great Friend Pillow Box


Pillow Box in Whisper White using Big Shot die. Stamped images are from Great Friend set by Stampin' Up! Black ink is embossed. Colors are Basic Black and Melon Mambo.

Friend Baroque card


This is a card using the flourish and small flower stamps from the Baroque Motifs set from Stampin' Up. Colors featured are Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip. The Top Note die was used with the Whisper White cardstock. Ribbon is Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain.

Gift Bag Tag


This is a small gift bag tag measuring 4"x4" that will be featured in my first class. Stamp sets used are All in the Family and All in the Family Accessories. Cardstock colors are Bashful Blue, Whisper White, and Basic Black. Ribbon is Bashful Blue taffeta. The little boy and the soccer ball have dimensionals behind them, as does the black square. This is a great example of using a stamp to create your own unique patterned paper.

My first post

This card was made with Stampin'Up products including the Loads of Love stamp set; Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla cardstock; and various Earth Elements inks. The truck is a slider created using two pennies to allow for movement across the card.
