Cute Anniversary card and new hostess code


My daughter loves giraffes.
When she saw this card that I did for a swap, she said she "needed" that set. 


So, I used it for her anniversary card!
It did make a hit because she called and expressed her delight and said that her husband also liked it!
I used the reflection technique to get the giraffe looking in the other direction and put them in the opening on the front of the card. 


When you open the card the other image slides into view and pops up like this.


Yes, I forgot to take a picture before I signed it, but so glad that I remembered before I sent it!

I did realize that I forgot to tell you about the July specials that are really great in my last post. 
One of them is the Designer Series Papers.
These are the ones that are included.

You can check out the whole deal on my site. Click on the crab on the side for the details.
The deal of getting a whole family of Ink pads for free by joining SU! is the very best deal I have seen in my time (20 years plus) with SU! 
You don't have to do parties or classes or anything to join. 
Check that out or contact me with questions. 
I would love to have you join my team!

July specials and more SA cards

This is one of the cards that I did at the last party. 
Since I cut more than I needed, there are some left for you to do, if you choose. 


The Wild One that I did for my last swap is the other card I did at the party.
That one will also be available for you to choose. 
A little labor intense but very cute! 


This Mango Melody might be my new favorite color! 
I didn't realize that I had used it for a second card this time until I did the pictures. I did wonder why there wasn't much of that color left. I have paired it with the Blackberry Bliss and it is more striking in person than in the picture. 


Hope to see you Monday. 
Please leave a comment so I know that someone is out there looking at this.

Christmas in July

Yes, you will have an opportunity to start your Christmas cards at the Stamp Along, if you wish. 
This is the one that will be available this time. 
Will you be starting your Christmas greetings this month?


This one makes use of specialty paper. I can always use a thinking of you card! 


This one uses one of the two stamps in the Bokeh Dots set. The card that was on the last post uses the other one. They both make a really nice background. 
When you ink these Distinktive stamps, it looks like there isn't any ink in places but there is...just check it on scrap paper if you aren't sure. 
It is the process that they use to manufacture them that allows them to stamp so lightly in certain spots giving that special effect!

Varied Vases

Varied Vases set with the matching punch is a fun one to use. 
Here are several cards with this set for you to make at the Stamp Along.






Which one is your favorite?

This daisy is always a winner. It can be used for so many occasions.


This one is a little different fold. There is another panel after the two that I am showing you but you will have to come to the Stamp Along to see that one.





I hope that you can come and make some of these cards. 
Please leave a comment on the blog so I know which ones you like. 
Sometimes there is a little gift for you at the Stamp Along if you have left a comment. 
I also appreciate suggestions for cards to do at the SA so if you need a card for a special occasion, please let me know.

Happy 4th of July!


Have a wonderful 4th, no matter how you celebrate!

Here are a few of the cards that you may choose to make at the Stamp Along next Monday.

These three are using both sides of that beautiful Designer Speciality Paper. 
There are several choices for the greetings. 
I am loving this style as I don't have to choose which side of the paper to use. 
I am more inclined to actually use the paper this way, rather than hoard it!
