Sympathy Card

I am sorry these pictures came out so blurry. But I wanted to show a simple and easy way to make a Sympathy Card. Unfortunately we are from time to time in need of a card like this.


Here is the front of the card. I use Rich Razzleberry Card Stock and Whisper White Card Stock. These two colors look so beautiful together.



Inside the card I stamped a quote and used the Eyelet Border Punch for the bottom of the Whisper White Card Stock.



Please feel free to duplicate this card. If you have any questions about it just let me know. Thanks for looking!

Saturday fun making cards

My daughter Ana was here visiting for the weekend. We have been having fun creating some cards. I was working on may swap and Sarah, another daughter, make these two cards.


This is a card Sarah and I created. The stamp set we used was a retired one but you could use any flower stamp set. I love the "In Colors" that we used. It turned out really cute.



This is a new stamp set that is in the new "Idea Book & Catalog". This stamp set is "Pony Party" on page 86. Sarah has been dying to use this stamp set. Here is her creation. This would be a great little card for a birthday card or a invitation.



This is one that is kind of a Christmas card. The card says, "If a kiss were a snowflake, I'd send you a blizzard." This card was created with a transparency. It really is a fun way to create a cute card. Lets get together and share this technique with some of your friends.

Summertime Card

My daughter Sarah likes to make cards with me. This is one she made just recently. I love the way she created the beach scene. She says when she grows up she wants to sell Stampin Up. I know she would do well. She loves to make new friends wherever she goes. I have made so many wonderful friends through Stampin Up. You too can create these beautiful cards, earn money, receive free product and make lots of new friends.

As of yesterday you can sign-up to be a demonstrator for only $85.00. Call me and lets talk about all the things you can do when you become a Stampin Up Demonstrator!!!

Student Card Swap at NPC

I wanted to share with all of you the card swap we did at NPC. At the beginning of June I taught a class at Show Low's Northland Pioneer College. We all had a wonderful time. When I began the class the students and I were assigned to make a one card a duplicate it four times. Then on the last day of class we would all swap cards. Here are the beautiful cards my students maked. I was so pleased with there efforts.


This card was made by Sheila Russell. I love the elegant look of this card. I have enjoyed getting to know Sheila. She is so fun to have in class.



This card was created by Angela Simpson. This birthday card caught my eye as I am partial to the color purple. Angela was new to our class this time around. She was kind of quiet but very kind and helpful. We hope she will join us again in October so we can get to know her better.



This card was created by Joan Thomas. You cannot tell but the heart in the middle of this card is folded into a pocket. Then you can slip anything you want into the pocket. What a great idea for a card. The possibilities are endless. This is the first time Joan has joined us at NPC. She told me the other day she doesn't know what to do with her Tuesdays now that we are not meeting for our Rubber Stamp Class. We really do have a lot of fun and it is nice to just show up and make some fun cards, learn some new techniques and get to know others.



These last two cards are created by Pam Fredley. Pam always brings more than one card to the card swap and I asked her if I could have one of each. I love the way she use the stamp set "Just B" and "Just Buzzin By".



This was a cute way to put a Get Well card together. She created a pocket on the front of the card and then placed a packet of Chicken Noddle Soup in the pocket. You will have to add this to your ideas for a Get Well Card.

Thank you to all who signed up for the class at NPC. I will be having a new classes at Snowflake and Show Low in the Fall.

NPC in Snowflake will be on Tuesdays in September. NPC in Show Low well be on Tuesdays in Oct. There is a limit of 10 students per class. So you will want to sign up early and get your spot reserved. We will be making a lot of fun holiday cards. There are so many fun new stamps sets in the new catalog and the new "Holiday Mini Catalog" is coming out in September. If you are on my mailing list you will be getting that in the mail next month.

Christmas in July

Doesn't it just make you feel cooler to think about Christmas. When we lived in the valley I use to play Christmas Music in July to help me feel cooler. I love Christmas time!

We all love to send out our Christmas cards the first of December but when we wait until December to start making them we find we are swapped with other things to do. So come to the "Mystery Hostess" Open House this Saturday, July 11 between 11:00am and 1:30pm and get a head start on your Christmas Cards.
