Just a tease! Happy Mother's Day!

Hello and Happy Mother's Day! Awash with Flowers was the set available for the month of April only. Although it isn't available now, it will be in the 2010 - 2011 Stampin' Up! Ideas Book & Catalog which debuts July 1. I'm posting these for inspiration and for my couple of customers that purchased it in April. Aren't they gorgeous?? I can't take credit for these - we made them at a demo meeting last month and I'm not sure where the original card came from. I know I've seen similar designs so it's hard to pin point. Simple and beautiful!! I won't go into too much detail so if you need any additional please let me know!

This is a two step stamp set and it is very easy to use. We used outlined in Basic Black, Old Olive and filled in with Crushed Curry. The jewelry tag was used here on the second card and the sentiment is from the birthday set in the big catalog.

I hope you have a great day! Kim

Quilt Purse stitched by Stephanie

I know! I need to get back in the swing of things! We've been soooo busy lately - sheesh.

I haven't been able to take photos of the latest cards I wanted to share so I thought I'd share this cute bag I forgot to post in March. This is a "quilt" bag by a fellow demonstrator Stephanie for her friend Sherry (I think I got that right! ... Sherry also made a pink themed one for Stephanie) Sherry brought it to the Big Stampin' Event and I had to get a photo - I really need to make one of these! I loved the colors on this - would be cute as a bag or to borrow the colors for a fun card or scrapbook page! Looks like vanilla or white with Tempting Turqoise, Taken with Teal, Old Olive, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip. LOVE IT!

Basically, this bag was made using fabric die cut using the Big Shot and the Clear Square Scallop die. I hear they take a couple of hours. Not bad! It would probably take me twice the time though :D

Looks closely and you'll see a matching flower brooch. It was die cut using the Flower Fold die - it is similar to the one in the post for the Women's Tea.

Enjoy! I'll get some new cards on here tomorrow :) I've got an order of new stuff coming in later this week!
