Zinnia Seed Pocket With Flowering Zinnias DSP

I have a fun treat today that your gardening friends are sure to love!  Today we're making a fun seed pocket.  I found some zinnia seeds at my local Dollar Tree so I thought they would be perfect to pair up with the Flowering Zinnias DSP.  This fun pocket is so quick to put together so feel free to make a stack of them! Think of fun other seeds and stamps or DSP you could pair up.  I'm using Mossy Meadow today, it's not a color I reach for a lot but I sure love it for this.  The bright DSP works perfectly with the dark cardstock. 

All of my images are from the Flowering Zinnias DSP, if you have the Simple Zinnias Set feel free to substitute those images.  My flower is fussy cut directly from the DSP, it's a really quick image to fussy cut.  I'm using a new stamp set for my greeting.  It's from the Thoughtful Wishes Set.  I thought the greeting was perfect, the size was perfect so it worked perfectly!  When you slide the Belly Band off there's a pocket inside perfect for a seed packet.  Pro tip-the seeds at the Dollar Tree are 4 for $1 so that's a huge cost effective fun gift!

So Long! Farewell! In Person Class

Over the weekend I held my April in person class.  This was the last class of the current Annual Catalog and Mini Catalog and this was also the last class in my current location.  I'm excited to be moving to a different location and my next class will be a new Annual Catalog Launch! So excited!  If you're local in the Albuquerque area please contact me, I'd love to have you at an in person class!  We have lots of fun!!!!  

These are the five cards my guests made, I don't have a supply list or measurements for them, that's a perk only for my in person guests.  

First we used the Planted Paradise Set.  I love this fun set.  There are endless possibilities to using this set.  I'm so glad it's carrying over!  

Next up, I paired up the Perennial Lavender DSP with the Translucent Florals Bundle, so very pretty!  I love the colors on this card.  Who would have known that Gorgeous Grape and Crumb Cake were so good together! 

Next up, I pulled out my Playing In The Rain Stamp Set and Dies.  I was really worried this one was going to retire this year.  It's one of my favorites I'm so glad it's sticking around.  This simple card is completely adorable and any of the critters in the set would be perfect here.

While we've been swooning over the upcoming In Colors I didn't want to forget about the current In Colors that we still have a year to enjoy!  I'm using two of them for this sweet encouragement card.  We used the Layering Leaves Stamp Set. 

Finally, I think this is my favorite of the bunch.  I love the diagonal angle and the stamped Flirty Flamingo Cardstock makes it look like DSP!  We used the Enduring Beauty Stamp Set for those gorgeous flowers.

SNEAK PEEK! Hearts And Hugs and Basic Beige

The new Hearts and Hugs Bundle is completely adorable!  I couldn't wait to color the sweet little hamster.  I paired it up with all the new In Colors, some new DSP, new Glimmer Paper, new embossing folders and our new Basic Beige.  WOW!  I think almost everything on this card is brand new!  If you want to grab any of these new products you can!  You can put these new products in your Starter Kit today when you join my team!  Otherwise these products will launch in May with the launch of the new Annual Catalog.  

I used three different colors to color my hamster, honestly I couldn't decide which I liked better!  I used Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends.  I added some pink to their cheeks and ears with Petal Pink.

The embossing folder is soooo cute and pairs up perfectly with these guys. I love all the flowers floating around them in all five of our new In Colors.  I used the Pearlized Enamel Effects to add a dot to the center of each flower.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for some of the products in my Online Store.  NEW products can be added to a Starter Kit this month when you join my team.

Trusty Tools Matchbox Slider Box-VIDEO

It's been a while since I've shared a fun box and I have a really fun one today!  I'm featuring the Trusty Tools Bundle.  This bundle is carrying into the next catalog but the price isn't.  If you want this bundle get it now and save some money with the discounted bundle price.  I'm going for some bold fun colors today.  I'm using Lemon Lime Twist and Azure Afternoon.  My DSP is from the Stargazing DSP which is retiring and is discounted.  At the time of typing this it is still available, but retiring items are only available while supplies last so act fast!  Also retiring and discounted are the Opaque Ovals.  The Holographic Paper is retiring too, but isn't discounted.  It's amazing paper to have though!  

For my tools I used a combination of stamping them and die cutting them. The paintbrush is stamped the hammer is die cut.  I love the Holographic Paper for the metal pieces of these tools.  It really brings them to life.  Inside my matchbox Slider Box is a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie.  Probably a great snack in the middle of a big DIY project.  

Make your own:

Lemon Lime Twist 5 1/2" x 6" score on all sides at 1/2" and 1 1/4"

Stargazing DSP 3" x 9 1/2"

Sending Love Mailbox

I had a request to make some moving cards. The very first set that came to mind was the Sending Love Bundle.  This is a perfect set to announce that you've moved. I wanted to keep the card bright and fresh so I went with a combination of colors from the Brights and Subtles groups.  Who wouldn't love this adorable Pool Party mailbox!  I used DSP from the Lighter Than Air DSP Pack. Heads up this DSP is retiring so grab it now while you can!  

I added a simple 'just a note' greeting while all the details of the move and new address are on the inside of the card.  The greeting is from the Filled With Happiness Set.  This set is retiring too, this is a great one to have, get it now before it's gone.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

SNEAK PEEK Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Today I'm sharing a cute card that I made in Houston at Stampin' Up!'s OnStage Event.  We got to use the new card bases and some of the ephemera packs coming in the new catalog.  The ephemera packs and card bases are going to be amazing tools to make quick cards.  They're also going to be a great gift for someone wanting to dip their toes into the card making world.  My flowers are from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack, aren't they gorgeous!?

My greeting piece came from the Labels and Layers Ephemera Pack and the card base is the Calming Creek Cards and Envelopes.  We did get to stamp a greeting but if you didn't want to stamp a greeting we have lots of options for a greeting in the Saying Something Ephemera Pack coming in the new catalog in May.  The greeting is from the Simply Said Set, get this set in May.  If you loved this sneak peek, consider joining my team.  Demonstrators can see the new Catalog now and they can order at a discount from the new catalog in April.  It's a win/win for you!  Join my team here.  I do have the supplies listed below, most products won't be available until the catalog launch in May.  But if you love them, make a note and put it on your wishlist now.
