Becky Robert's Lil' Purse

This is the cute little purse that Becky Robert's has on her blog as a tutorial for sale.  It's only $3.95 and you get 3 patterns!  I added a closure on mine, but it is her pattern.  The picture is really bad, but it is using Daffodil Delight cardstock #119683 and Real Red cardstock #102482 and then Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery ink pads to stamp the images from Punched Posies #120030 (clear mount).  This stamp set is a Level 2 hostess set in our summer mini catalog.  Contact me if you would like to host a party to try and earn this set for FREE!!

Artistic Etchings

I borrowed the Artistic Etchings stamp set #120573 clear mount for this card from my friend Lorrie.  When she let me borrow it she also gave me a card very similar to case. So I cased it only changing the ink used to sponged on the new in color peach parfait cardstock  #119794.  I used pumpkin pie ink to sponge on the peach parfait.  

My friend Kelly was over the night I was prepping for the hostess club and she cut out the 10 Eiffel Towers for me...Thanks Kelly and Thanks Lorrie for the card to case and the stamp set you let me borrow!!

Heliconia Flower Card

Here is another card that I cased.  This one is from Ann Fitzgerald and she has a tutorial on her blog here.  

It was fairly easy to make using Ann's great tutorial.  This is using the bird punch.  You use the bird, cutting off the head (there were no birds hurt while making this card!) and the bird's wing. 

Then I just sponged the edges with Melon Mambo, Certainly Celerey and Daffodil Delight ink pads.  I used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder #120175 in our NEW 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog.  

Go to Ann's website and view her blog and give it a try!

Simple But Elegant Card

This is a card that I totally cased from Stampin' Connection.  Stampin' Connection is a website for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Only.  If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator just contact me and I can sign you up and then you too can view all the wonderful cards, 3D's, scrapbook pages and much more on the Stampin' Connection Website.  

You cannot tell that around the flower and sentiment there is a rectangle of sponged crumb cake ink, but there is!  This was an easy card to make at my hostess club. They all loved it!!  I will try and find out who made it, but I know she had a ton of comments on her post. 

Here is Tina's blog:  http://mytherapymycreations.blogspot.com/ 
Of course hers is much better than mine, but I still enjoyed Caseing it.   Thanks Tina for a great card!

Birthday Gfit Card Holder

I made this Birthday Gift Card Holder for a swap that I am in.  I got the idea from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.  She has a video tutorial on how to make itI just changed it up a little and it was really easy to make!  We made one very similar to this for my Open House.  They just used different colors.

Open House Project

This was one of the projects everyone made at my Open House.  My friend, Lorrie, prepared these for me.  Isn't she sweet?  I was in Texas the week before Open House and I did not know how I was going to get everything done, so she prepared this project to help me out!  I bought the Patriotic Tootsie Rolls at Dollar Tree.

Open House Free Gift

Everyone that attended my Open House last week received one of these little match books.  They loved them because inside were small post it notes to mark their new catalogs of all their favorite things.  

Here is the inside of the matchbook.  
  I got the little post it notes at M*chael's in the Dollar Bin.  There were 4 in a pack for $1.00.  Each post it note said something different.  I thought they were cute and were well received!!

Catalog Tabs

I have two wonderful hostess clubs, one that has been with me for 3 years!!  I give them a FREE catalog every year and this year at my Open House they received these catalog tabs along with their catalog.  

This is what the catalog tabs look like when placed on the pages of our new Stampin' Up! 2010-2011Idea Book and Catalog.  

I cannot take credit for these as I did not come up with these tabs.  I got them from someone on www.splitcoaststampers.com Sorry I cannot remember who to give credit.  They are punched using our Round Tab Extra Large Punch #119864. 

I think everyone liked them!
