Branch Out for Spring!

Well ... I'm finally coming up for air after a workshop, stamping 301 full cards for goodie bags, and stamp club last night. I am so pleased to share our Club projects ... not only because they are super-cute (if I do say so myself) but also because if you look closely - you will find two sneak peeks from the Occasions Mini Catalog - going live in just 2 weeks!

The card on the left was my swap this month. Club members made this adorable 6" x 12" corkboard and the Top Note cork card on the right. I think everyone loved these projects, and, you know what - they went together so fast! We stamped both cork pieces during the same turn, with the same inks - stretching our products and shrinking the time! So, try that next time you sit down to stamp - make a card AND a gift tag or bookmark with the same items.****************

One little booth ... many handmade cards!

Boy, oh boy - have I been busy!!! Can you believe I've been stamping too hard to take a break to blog?! More accurately, my die-cutting has kept me busy. Sorry about that ... but here's one of the projects I've been working on. See, I signed up to place something in 300 goodie bags for the Consignment Sale I mentioned in the previous post. And, as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, don't you think my "something" must be handmade?! Well, there's nothing like Stampin' Up!s exclusive Designer Papers & Top Note and Bigz Beautiful Butterflies dies to make even an easy project look elegant and fancy. So far, I have made 49 of these cards & bookmarks, in different colors and papers. I hope they make an impression on the goodie-bag getters.
