Christmas in July

I sat down to make some cards today, and this is what I came up with--Christmas in July!! Some of these ideas were based on cards from last year's Christmas Stamp Camp, but I loved them so much, I just had to make more!!

Fun Times!

Last Friday's Stamp Camp was excellent. Everyone had a great time making their cards and trying out the new rub ons with the vase! Again, it was a success and I'm anxious for the September camp. I'll be emailing everyone to let you know when this camp will be. Thanks to all who attended the last camp. 

Stamp Camp

If you are coming to my Stamp Camp, please bring these things:

1. adhesive

2. small scissors

3. bone folder

4. Stampin' scrub & mist

Come ready for a good time, and remember, you could be the mystery hostess!! 

Just Messing Around

I found this idea in one of my Stampin' Success magazines and I absolutely loved it. To make this, just use a glass vase and the Stampin' Up! rub ons. What a cool, fun, unique gift. I can't wait to show this project at my upcoming stamp camp!

All Kinds of Things

I am constantly amazed at how many different ways you can use Stampin' Up! materials to create truly beautiful projects. I just made a fabulous card holder box. I'm planning to demonstrate how to make this box at an upcoming home show. I hope it's a hit! 

These are a few of my favorite things...

This a wonderfully easy card to make, and it only involves three different colors of cardstock. They are simple, but very unique and beautiful. Just think how surprised your friends will be when they receive this handmade thank you!
I absolutely LOVE this thank you card. It is folded a little differently so that when the receiver opens it, it folds up. The Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon really adds a nice "pop" to this card.
What a wonderful way to show your friend or loved one that you truly care about their birthday. My favorite parts of this card are the Stampin' glitter around the top of the cake and the rhinestone brad in the center of the flower. 

Looking for a card that you can send just because?? This is a great one and it's fun to make too. This cards is folded so that the receiver opens it tall. I love the paisley stamp from the Polka Dots and Paisley stamp set! The teal rhinestone brads on the right also give it a nice look. 

Heat & Stick Powder

I've recently seen an video on how to use the heat and stick powder. It is so easy and fun. This is a great way to add glamour to any project. Let me know if you'd like me to demonstrate this technique for you!!
