Baby Card

I thought this baby card was ADORABLE...and so simple to make.

The creator of this card took a piece of Calypso Coral card stock (5-1/4" x 4") and textured it using the Square Lattice embossing folder (#119976).  Punched a circle out of the middle, and adhered it to a white card.  She punched the hat from the In Color patterns designer paper (#122384) using the Large Oval Punch (#119855) and trimmed it down.  Ribbon was glued to the bottom of the hat and added a pom-pom. The saying is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set (#115370).

Please let me know (pginnery@columbus.rr.com) if you'd like to order any of the supplies to make this card.

Columbus Regional

One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being able to attend one of the regionals that are held throughout the United States.  We were lucky enough to have one located in our own backyard....in Columbus, Ohio.

Here are a few of the gals at our table....


My friend Roxanna had the priviledge of doing one of the demonstrations.  We were so proud of her!



Shelli Gardner, CEO & co-founder of Stampin' Up! was there as well as several other trainers from the main office showing us various projects.  We had a wonderful time learning new things and of course swapping cards with one another. 

You can become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for only $125.  That is the price of the starter kit but valued over $300.  Not only that... you get your choice of either a pack of designer paper or a digital download each month for the next 10 months for FREE.  That's a value of over $100.

Contact me (pginnery@columbus.rr.com)  if you'd like more information on becoming a demonstrator.  I would love to have you on my team. 

Mixed Bunch

As I promised, here is another card that I've made using the MIXED BUNCH stamp set.  I cased this from both Chris Smith and Jill Hilliard.  This is one of the cards that I made to swap for the Stampin' Up! regional meeting tomorrow in Columbus, Ohio. 

Here are the supplies that I used:
Stamps:  Mixed Bunch (#125537), Perfectly Penned (#122892)
Paper:  So Saffron (#111351), Basic Black (#121045), Whisper White (#100730), First Edition Designer Paper #121878)

Mixed Bunch

This card combines two of my favorite stamp sets from the Occasions Mini Catalog  -  MIXED BUNCH (#125537) and LOVING THOUGHTS ( #125845).  The MIXED BUNCH stamp set contains 6 stamps and you can punch them all out using either our BLOSSOM PUNCH, 3/4" Circle Punch, or the 1" Circle Punch.  As you can see below the big 3 flowers are so unique from each other.   
Please contact me if you'd like to purchase the "MIXED BUNCH" stamp set.  I'll be posting several cards within the next couple weeks using this stamp set.

Need a baby card??

This is one of the cards that we made at my last stamp club.  We cut the Labels Collection Framelit out using the Big Shot, stamped the carriage from the BABY BUNDLE stamp set using black Stazon Pad.  I watercolored it and sponged around the Labels Framelit with Bashful Blue ink.  I attached it onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here are the supplies that I used:

Stamps: Baby Bundle (#120576); A Word For You (#120528)
Paper:  Bashful Blue (#105111); Whisper White (#100730); Subtles Designer Paper (#117152)

Artistic Etchings

Stamps:  Artistic Etchings, En Francais background stamp
Paper:  Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Black Stazon
Other:  Brayer, Paper Doily Sizzlet, Gold Glow Smooch Spritz Spray

Here's another one of my favorite swaps from Leadership.  I looks like she cut one of the paper doily sizzlits and layed it on a piece of very vanilla and brayered crumb cake over it to create the ghost image of the doily.  She then stamped the "En Francais" background stamp over top of that using Soft Suede.  Stamped the images from "Artistic Etchings" using Black Stazon and finished it off by spraying a little bit of the "Smooch Spritz" gold spray.
