Be Creative Stamping

Stamp-A-Stack this Sunday

I'm hosting a Stamp-A-Stack this Sunday, May 23, from 1:30--5:00 P.M. We'll be making 12 cards--3 each of 4 different designs/occasions.  It includes Father's Day, Birthday, Friendship, and Graduation.  I've already posted a couple of them on my blog, but wanted you to see all the cards together! The Pedaling Past card on the left is perfect for Father's Day or any masculine occasion. The Flight of the Butterfly card on the right is perfect for birthdays, thinking of you, and friendship.

 

In the next picture, the Watercolor Trio card is on the left.  This has 3 different greetings to choose from which makes this set very versatile.  The Happy Grad card on the right is perfect for anyone graduating from high school or college.

If you live in (or near) the Richmond, VA area and would like to attend the Stamp-A-Stack, drop me an email so I can give you all the details.  If you don't live in the area, but would still like to make the cards, I can prepare a Stamp-A-Stack pictorial kit for you. I recently read a Stampin' Up! Policy, that I'm not allowed to sell stamped images as part of a kit. I can include pre-cut paper, punched shapes, and embellishments.  I will include a supply list of stamp sets and ink colors that are used. The cost of the kit is $25, plus $5 for shipping.  Your order will ship on Monday, May 24th.  I've included a paypal button below.

 

Have a great day everybody!

Pedaling Past (again) in Retiring Colors!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day.  My family and I went to visit my mother for the day and we thoroughly enjoyed being together.  I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I was tired when we returned home Sunday night.  I hope you don't mind me sharing another card with the Pedaling Past Stamp Set.  I have just fallen in love with it!  You'll notice that I'm using two of the retiring In Colors--Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry.  It's not too late to order these In Colors, but supplies are limited!!

Pedaling Past in the Summer Mini

Stampin' Up! announced yesterday afternoon that some of the retiring colors are starting to have a depleted supply of paper, ink, and coordinating products.  If there are any retiring colors that you've been meaning to stock up on, now is the time.  Once the smooth paper of a retiring color has been depleted, Stampin' Up! will send the textured paper in that specific color. Take some time over the next couple of days to order your favorite colors that are retiring.  You certainly don't want to be in the middle of a project and not have enough paper or coordinating products to complete it. Not sure which colors are retiring?  Click the Fond Farewell Color Chart on the right side of my blog.  Click on my Order Online button to stock up on all your favorite colors today.

Just trying out my new stamp set, Pedaling Past, and a new color combination of Green Galore, Night of Navy, and Pumpkin Pie!  You can check out Pedaling Past in the Summer Mini on page 7. I purchased the clear mount set and I'm finding the clear-mount blocks can be real time savers! You can easily arrange your images in a collage on one clear-mount block.  In the card below, I arranged the words below the bike on one clear-mount block!
