Here’s Another One!
Hello Stampers!Wow! I just think this card is so pretty! Love, love, love Strawberry Slush. This is another card you can make at my fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on Thursday, May 22, from 3 to 8 p.m. Make as many cards as you want for just $2 each. We'll have more than 12 designs to choose from. This focus of this beauty is the Blessed Easter stamp. The bad news is that this stamp is only available through June 1. (Here it is in my online store. Click here.) As you can see, I removed the sentiment that says "Wishes for a Blessed Easter" so I can use this stamp for anything. I stamped the image in Black Stazon and then...

And This One …
Hello Stampers!This is another one of the cards you can make Thursday, May 22, during my fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Come to my house in Lincoln, Nebraska, anytime between 3 and 8 p.m. and make as many cards as you like for $2 each. All proceeds will be donated to this organization in honor of a friend who has put up a huge battle against non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This card starts with a base of Sahara Sand card stock. I inked the flower image...

Needed Ink!
Hello Stampers!I'm sure none of you has ever purchased a stamp set and then let it sit on the shelf -- never seeing ink! I finally removed the Polka-Dot Pieces stamp set from the box and began using it. What fun! All of the images coordinate (imagine that!) with Stampin' Up!'s punches!The focal point of this card is the Tea Lace Paper Doily. I was inspired to change the color by spritzing it from a card I saw in the new 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! catalog. I combined some Crushed Curry reinker with the rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer and sprayed away. How cool is that? You can make these white doilies any color you want!Funny story about...
