Mom card

I cannot believe it's Monday already... where did the weekend go?  I need a few days off just to recover from the very busy weekend that I had but I do have tomorrow off and I'll be heading to Lynda's for the day so that we can go thru the last chance list that comes out tomorrow and hopefully we will be able to look thru the new Stampin Up catalogue that someone has received already. Sorry, can't tell you who it is......    I'm really excited to just sit back and relax, get caught up with all the news from Stampin Up since I haven't had a chance to do that and spend the day with Lynda.  My post for today is a card that I had made for Mother's Day but since it has passed, I can still use this card for Mom's Birthday.  The die that I used is not Stampin Up.  Hope you like the card and have a wonderful Monday!  Tammy  

New colour cardstock

Hello everyone!  I'm back.....not that I've been away but I haven't posted for awhile and Lynda has been busy keeping us up to date and showing us all her wonderful cards that she has made.  Thanks Lynda your the best!  I was so happy that friday final arrived and now it's the weekend, maybe I'll be able to squeeze in some time to make a card or two this weekend.  Today's card is made with punches and some of the new colours that are coming in July, they are  Daffoldil Delight, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso and I think you are really going to enjoy these colours.   Hope you like my card and have a wonderful weekend!  Tammy 

 

Build-a-bear fun!

I was finally going to get to deliver my good friend and downline, Rose's baby gift the other day...the sweet baby, John, is 5 months old already and I still haven't seen him. Well that plan of us getting together, fell through but I was determined to deliver the gift before he grew out of it!! So I still needed to make a gift bag for the gift - yeah I know last minute! So I whipped up (literally) a Build-a-bear bag. The Stampin' Up die cuts for these are exclusive and awesome. You can make all sorts of clothes for them - boy or girl and with many different accessories. The tag on top is actually a bookmark made by my 10 year old daughter Kendall. She makes them from my scraps and sells them at my classes. Good gig for her!! Kendall loves the BAB set and makes cards too from the matching stamp set. If you have kids or kids in your life, you got to have these stamps and dies! Heck I love them too!  Have a great weekend and thanks for checking in!!   Lynda

Stamping and Watercolouring...so fun!

Boy has it been hot? I love it though...we opened our pool on the weekend and it only took 2 days in this heat, to warm it up enough to swim in it. We had a few of the neighbour's kids and my kids all in it last night. You'd think it was the middle of July not the end of May!

Well my watercolouring classes are popular and that is wonderful. I love to stamp and watercolour the image. This stamp set was an old hostess set but I still love using it and this is one of the cards we will be making in my Water Colour classes (June 15th and 23rd). I still have 2 spots left for the 23rd if anyone is interested let me know. Don't be afraid to learn how to watercolour...it's forgiving and very easy!! Just try it!!

I have also used the gold Smooch Spritz on the background of this card. I can't get enough of this stuff! Just love the effect it has on paper! Remember my special...place a minimum $40 on-line web order through my Stampin' Up website and get a free Smooch Spritz from me! Have a great day...enjoy the weather!   Lynda

This stamp set Circle Circus, used in this card, is one of the sets in this month's special...order this stamp set and get a free package of Designer Brads! This special ends soon and it's a great deal - worth $8.50 before taxes and shipping!

This is one of the cards we will be making in my All Masculine Cards Stamp and Stack this Friday night at 7pm. I still have 2 spots left if interested let me know asap. Or if you can't make it, then you can order the kit (all pre-stamped, cut and with complete instructions) for $25 also. More information is available on my Workshop and classes page to the right. Deadline for orders is Thursday.

I can't take credit for this card, as it is a case from my wonderful on-line teacher and a Stampin' Up demonstrator, Heather Summers. She's so amazing and I can't wait to catch up with her at convention coming soon...July!! Have marvellous Monday!!    Lynda

 

An MDS page for you...

So I am trying to use My Digital Studio (Stampin' Ups new digital scrapbooking program) more often, now that I have more time. Here is a page I literally threw together. I know I need more time with MDS and will get back at it soon. However, it's lots of fun and if anyone wants to know more about MDS let me know, I'd love to share this neat program with you! It's great for whipping up a scrapbook page, a card (then printing), a kid's title page (shhhh) and so much much more. I'd love to have a class on it but it's hard to since it's all on one computer. Oh well I'll think about it...I may have an idea! Enjoy your Sunday!   Lynda

Happy Birthday!

Happy Long Weekend Everyone!  Hope you having a wonderful rainy Saturday!  Just waiting patiently to find out if my daughter has baseball tryouts this afternoon or if it's going to be cancelled.  She wants to head out shopping at IKEA...... yes, IKEA on a Saturday.  I know I'm crazy!  They keep saying that the weather is going to get better and be sunny & hot tomorrow, I guess we will just have to wait and see .  So let me ask you.... Are you getting excited about the new Stampin Up catalogue coming in July?  I am so excited to see all the new stamps, paper, scrappin kits and so much more that Stampin Up has to offer.  I just wish someone could find me some more time in the day, so I could use it, to do what I love and that's make cards and scrapbook for my kids.  The card that I'm posting today is a card that I seen on the website and I thought it was a neat and cheery card to make, can't recall who's site it was on but I hope you like it.  Have a great day!  Tammy   

Watercolouring!

One of my favourite techniques in stamping is to watercolour. A new watercolour design are these new pansies. They have been 'springing' up all over everyone's blog lately...LOL! I will be teaching this technique in my watercolour class on June 15th. There are only 3 spots left. The class is $20 and you will make 5 very special cards (check out my workshop and class page on the right for more info). If interested let me know asap. If there is more interest, I will start a second class.  I am off to work in my garden today and plant all my annuals. I hope it's a nice day!! Have a great long weekend!!   Lynda

New Builder Wheels

My Card Club tried out the New Builder Wheels a few weeks ago. We used the Birthday, the So Many Stars and the Candle Crazy wheels. These are neat because you can use one small wheel singlely or two wheels or three wheels altogether, like we did on this card. We also used one of the New Triple Cell Cartridge Inks where you can choose any three ink colours you wish!! How cool is that? I chose Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzelberry and Crushed Curry - all this year's In-Colours. I also used those colours in the card-stock for this card. These Builder Wheels are so much fun and a quick way to whip-up a card! Gotta have them in your collection!! I will have another order going in later this week, let me know if you want to include one of these wheels, or any thing else from the New Summer Mini or Catalogue in your order? Have a wonderful Wednesday!  Lynda

Swap cards

Good morning everyone!  Hope your Monday was good and now it's Tuesday!  Just remember we have a long weekend ahead of us!  Yippee! Hopefully the weather cooperates with us and brings the sunshine.....  Okay, so I praying the sunshine will be out and it's going to be a nice weekend!  Today I'm going to post a few of the swap cards that the girls made this past weekend.  Hope you don't mind girls.  Also I'm posting a few picture of my Jalen at her gymnastics competition.  She was so serious.  Have a wonderful day everyone!  Tammy

 

I may have to post these cards again as the colours/brightness just isn't showing
