Ruth's Stamping Escape

Loving Thoughts, Mixed Bunch and Punch, and Everyday Enchantment

Here's another card we made Saturday at my Stamp Camp.  I designed this card early in December with the supplies that demonstrators can pre-order.  I love the colors and it uses the FREE brads, FREE ribbon and FREE Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalog.  If you don't have yours yet, email me and I'll send you a copy.

The flower is stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto Glossy White cardstock...one of my favorites. It really makes the flower pop.  The best part of this flower is the matching punch "Blossom."  Anytime I can punch a flower out, my day is happy.  Look at the detail it cuts.  There are 3 big flowers in that stamp set and the punch works on all 3 flowers.  woo hoo

Blossoms Builders Kit

At Leadership we were given the Blossoms Builders Designer Printed Kit for one of our Make and Takes.  I had not even really noticed this kit in the Occasions Mini catalog.  Look at this adorable card we got to make using it.  Of course, now I love it. A ton of flowers come in the kit and then the pink rhinestones are right up my alley.

What do you notice about this card that I can't tell you yet?

 

 

Back from the SU! Leadership Conference

Well, we were out late last night until late.  Up early this morning and finally home at 6pm tonight.  I left wonderful weather to come home to ice and freezing temperatures.  boo hoo

San Antonio was wonderful with SU! spoiling all 1,400 of us who were there for Leadership.  I left with a half empty suitcase and returned with a very full suitcase, almost tipping the 50 lb. weight limit.  I'll take pics of all the goodies tomorrow.

Here's a cute swap that was on display for demonstrators to view.  The stamps, designer series paper and the pleated ribbon all come from the new Occasions Mini catalog.  The bling heart is punched Red Glimmer Paper...love that.
