I'm Happy Stampin'

The Summer Mini was released today and WOW is is beautiful! So many fun new things. We have three new punches, two of which are called layer punches, you actually get 3 layers from each punch, cute. There are two new Designer Series paper patterns, a lovely nautical pattern and some gorgeous bright florals. I have added a link at the left so be sure to check it out! We usually have to say goodby to many products in the exiting mini catalog, but I am happy to announce a carryover list. The fun seam binding ribbons in Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red, Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze will be staying as well as the punches and die cuts, and I am doing a happy dance over the continuation of the First Edition dsp staying over. Yay! I have attached a link to the full list of carryover items on the left for you to see.

Here is what we created at stamp club last week. It is the perfect tag for the perfect gift. One of the ladies in club saw some cute wine tags from a winery and thought "we can make those", so we did. The tag uses the Top Note die (113463) , Square Latice embossing folder (119976), Vintage Springtime dsp (Occasions Mini), and the 3/4" circle punch (119873) for the grapes. To make the grapes we started with a piece of cardstock cut into a triangle. We layered the circles (6 in Perfect Plum and 7 in Concord Grape) from the top down. I did 3 in the top row, 4 the next, then 3, then 2, then 1. The leaf is the 5-petal flower punch in Pear Pizzazz. Happy Stampin' Tricia The April Spring is Blossoming Promotion going on now!

It has been a while since I last posted a project. I have been busy with the kiddos and their very busy school and social schedule. I did find time to play with my Create a Cupcake set and the center stair fun fold. We made this card at my last stamp club meeting. We used different colors though.

I had to share this exciting news! My husband and I are going to be on HSN (home shopping network) tonight! I belong to a website called HouseParty.com, if you don't know about it you should look it up. We won a Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Creme party. We received a free Green Pan, Cooking Creme, spoons, and other trinkets just for holding the party. Then as if that wasn't enough, we applied to Skype our party on HSN, and were picked! So exciting! So we will be on tonight at 7pm p/10pm e. Please tune in! Of course I made the goody bags and will share with you what I did with those later. Happy Stampin' Tricia
