Gift card & package

Gift card & package
This mini gift card and package was for a friend of mine. I made the box for the pin using the Big Shot, the matchbox die, Curley Label punch and clear window sheets.

Necklaces

I got this idea from the January 2009 Stampin Success publication. Thought they would make a cute gift for the Dazzling Stampers who went to convention with me. I altered them a little from the original. They were a big hit. People were taking pictures of them everywhere we went.

Too Creative!

I recently challenged my stamp club to come up with creative ways to decorate miniture terra cotta flower pots. Here are three of them. Aren't they adorable?

Barb Muzzey made this. Isn't it imaginative? She doesn't know it yet, but she was one of our winners! She'll know after she reads this.

Another winner!

Convention 2009

Just returned from Convention in Salt Lake City. It was AWESOME!

Saturday was my birthday and I was teasing a friend about celebrating with 3000 of my closest friends. It turned out it is also Pam Morgan's birthday. She is VP of demonstrator services and development at Stampin' UP! So, of course, Happy Birthday was sung and my friends around me changed it to my name. It was pretty cool!

Stampin' Up! offers so many great stamp sets and several of them include butterflies. The Hostess Set, God's Beauty, was one of my favorites last year. But, there are many more to choose from in the new 2009-2010 catalog. Take a peek by visiting my website at http://www.genscraftcorner.stampinup.net

July is here!

Happy 4th!

July is here, which means the new catalog is available. Hope you have gotten your copy and have already started your wish lists. Mine grows longer every day. I've been a little tied up lately and haven't have much time to stamp. I hope to change that VERY soon. Am anxious to use a couple of new sets.

Please be sure to check out my Stampin' Up! website where you can see the classes I'm offering.

Sorry

I'm sorry it's been so long between posts. We had to put Quigley to sleep on May 14th and it's been a rather difficult time for us. He was such a dear sweet boy and we miss him terribly. I'm still looking for just the right picture to post -

Become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for only $75!

What a great deal! Hurry this offer is good only until the end of May.

Quigley update

Thanks to those of you who have asked, Quigley is hanging in there. We're taking it one day at a time. He's not eating much these days, which isn't a good sign. He's lost a lot of weight. But, he is still my loveable, sweet kitty boy. I'm looking for a picture to post so you can all see what a beautiful cat he is.

Sorry

I'm sorry I've not posted anything in a while. We recently learned my favorite cat, Quigley, that we have had for 10 years has cancer. It's not treatable. So, we're dealing with a lot of stress and grief right now. He is a very special kitty and I'm going to miss him terribly when he leaves us.

Happy 2009!

Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe transition into 2009. I've added a couple of cards and hope to continue adding new things more frequently now that the holidays are over and things are slowing down a little.

In case you've not heard, the Stampin' Up! retired stamp list is out. If there are a couple of sets you've been wanting but put off buying and they are retiring, better get them now before they are gone. Remember you can place your orders on-line, or contact me and I'll be happy to place the order for you.

Wanted

This is one of the swaps I made for convention. Love the new In Colors. Here I've used Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry along with Close to Cocoa for the accent along with a brad from the Earth Elements family. The Wanted set is one of my favorites. Also used friend to friend from Teeny Tiny Wishes, one of the new sets this year.

Ribbon Weaving

In the most current edition of the Stampin' Success magazine they talked about ribbon and paper weaving. So I give the ribbon weaving a try. What FUN and it's really easy. It adds a whole new demension to your card.

We made these at Regionals - I changed it up a bit and here's the version we made at our last stamp club meeting. The girls all loved them. They excitedly talked about the different uses, from filling Stampin' Up! cello bags with goodies to putting sox, gloves and small scarves in the pouches.

Quick & Easy!

Embrace Life is such a versital set. Here I used it for the background on my Tangerine Tango card. Added a little Kiwi Kiss, some Haiku DSP, ribbon, build a brad and a saying punched out with the oval punch. Quick and easy card!

I needed several birthday cards this month and pulled out this oldie but goodie set and put some together. I like the color combination. So Saffron is such a great go to color. It coordinates well with so many of the other colors in Stampin' Up's color family.

Love Birds

I "borrowed" this idea from one of my demo friends who gave me a darling swap at Regional. We made this card in club and the girls seemed to really like it. The Love You Much Bundle was a big hit!

Tangerine thanks

Tangerine thanks
Made this thank you card for my friends at work. Used a retired background stamped with Versamark. Then used a strip of paper from Haiku DSP tied with Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon. The stamp from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set was stamped on Whisper White with Tangerine Tango ink and the saying from the same set was stamped with Basic Black.

Kiwi thank you

Here's one of the thank you cards I made to send to my wonderful friends and family this year. Love the Kiwi Kiss paper and satin ribbon. Thought the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set was nice stamped 3 times in Kiwi ink. Am sorry to see Wonderful Words retiring - it's been of my favorites!
