Simply Pressed Clay & Buttons and Blossoms Clay Molds -- Bonnie Thurber

Do you love those sweet little 3-D Blossoms found on the card in my last post as much as I do? Here's a fantastic video by the one and only Bonnie Thurber (whom I *LOVE*, by the way...she always makes me laugh!).

Convention 2013 Swaps

I have to start by saying Stampin' Up! REALLY outdid themselves this year at Convention! I was impressed well above and beyond what I had even imagined! One of my favorite things this year was all the organized swaps I was able to participate in. I'll start by sharing the swaps I made, but I can hardly wait to showcase the ones I received! There are some really talented girls (and guys) working with Stampin' Up!

 

This super cute fancy fold card was inspired by Darlene over at Dreaming About Rubber Stamps. I altered it a tiny bit, using the supplies I had. I just love the new Simply Pressed Clay and the Blossoms Clay Mold found in the new 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog. The little rosettes are absolutely adorable! The washi tape is also found in the new catalog & it's one of my favorite new items Stampin' Up! is carrying this year.

Here's a link to the video tutorial Darlene did, teaching you how to easily make this cute card:  Big Shot Fancy Fold Card

She wants to make her announcements with her hubs, so I've been gathering all the baby cards I have for ideas. Unfortunately, I didn't have even one card with this adorable set, so I decided to get to work.

Peacock {Punch Art}

While at Convention, I was able to do some organized swaps & Punch Art was one of my most favorites! This little guy took some time, but I think he turned out fabulously! :) I LOVE the new Designer Series Paper, Summer Smooches! It's so versatile! Just a little strip of it added so much character to this card. 

The stamp set the word 'Celebrate' came from, Fabulous Phrases is one that I love so much. There are 30 words in the set, all coordinating, so you can customize any card to say the perfect words. :)
