Hey there! Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card. It's always good to have those cards ready in advance  because inspiration doesn't always strike when we need it, does it?

I used by Stamparatus to stamp "Happy Mother's Day" from the Occasions Catalog set, Strong & Beautiful, eight times on the front layer. The Stamparatus comes in handy any time you need to stamp repetitively!

I used a Rose Trellis framelit to cut out two roses, one from Pear Pizzazz  and another from Powder Pink. I cut away the pink leaves, then used a Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere the bloom over the Pear Pizzazz one. I also used Fine Tip Glue to adhere the entire piece to the card.

I used more Rose Trellis thinlits to cut the leaves for the corners.

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Strong & Beautiful. The blooms in the bottom corner are from the Climbing Roses set. I colored the blooms with my Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend.

I don't have my mom anymore, but hope this will help you have one ready for your's.

I stamped the daisy petals with the Daisy Delight stamp set and punched with the Daisy Punch. I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center.

Hey there! Today I am sharing cards created by my long-time stampers, Donna & Jennifer Ninness. I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for over 16 years, and these gals have been stamping with me for probably 12 of those years. The two cards I'm sharing today were the result of "necessity being the mother of invention":

 This card had the Tea Together teacup, but I forgot to bring my Stamparatus, which had the teacup mounted on it, so they grabbed the new Nine Lives stamp set from one of their last orders and went to work! Cats instead of teacups! TaDa!

The Cat Punch from the Annual Catalog punches the kitty  perfectly! Jennifer's card featured this gray tabby:

Donna's kitty is more of a gray calico. She stamped the Real Red bow from Nine Lives  and then cut it out. I'm pretty sure Jennifer added a bow to her kitty after she saw Donna's!

With 17 different images in Nine Lives, you have lots of choose from! Like I said, cats instead of teacups!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a special baby shower card. Sheila's my oldest daughter, Jessica's, bestie since they were babies. Both now 40, Sheila is having her very first baby in December. We are over the moon happy for her and her sweet hubby, David!

Honored to be asked to create an "Adventure Awaits" banner for the event,  I'm waiting for pictures as I didn't feel my camera could do it justice. But I can share the card I created that coordinates with the banner:

I used the Up & Away Thinlets Dies to create the hot-air balloon. The map paper background is a retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. I keep almost all of my retired stuff. Although it takes up a lot of storage room, it comes in handy when a custom project like this comes along!

I cut the intricate balloon outline from Basic Black card stock, then used more of the thinlets to cut the panels behind it from Coastal Cabana, Blushing Bride, and Mint Macaron.

I used "Congratualtions" from the Beautiful Bouquet set to stamp in black ink.

Inside I used a sentiment from Hold on To Hope:

I inked the mini-balloon from Lift Me Up with Coastal Cabana, Blushing Bride, and Mint Macaron Stampin' Write Markers. After cutting out with an Up & Away Thinlet, I adhered with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Lest you think I am a perfect stamper who never makes a mistake, here's what I discovered after I adhered the banner to the card front. Can you see what's wrong with this card? Fortunately it was easily fixed!

Hey there! I've been working on the cards for my Country Home Class in early October. Today I used three designs from Country Lane Designer Series Paper with Country Home stamps. I adhered each strip to an Early Espresso layer before adding a piece of Chicken Wire Element with a thin layer of Liquid Glue.

 I stamped the greeting from Country Home with Blackberry Bliss ink on a strip of 2" x 4" Whisper White. then stamped-off Mint Macaron ink with the bloom image over the greeting. I punched both ends with the Tag Topper Scallop Punch so I could thread Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon through the slots, wrapping around to the back and securing the ends on the back with double-stick tape, I then adhered it all to the card base with a generous amount of SNAIL adhesive.

 I pressed a Framed Element into the Blackberry Bliss ink pad, dried with my Heat Tool, then slid under the edge of the greeting banner, securing with a couple of glue dots.

 Inside I used a sentiment from Bunch of Blossoms.

 Simply thankful!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another card I created with the Diagonal Fold, this time with Garden Impressions Designer Paper and the Stitched All Around Bundle!

 I used Tranquil Tide and Mango Melody markers to ink the greeting before cutting out with the Stitched Label Framelit. I added a Blossoms Element with a glue dot. This is more of a hand-deliver card!

 Inside I used a sentiment from Thankful Thoughts. The base of this card is all one piece. It's the folds that make it great!

Hey there! Just a quick post before church this morning. I want to share with you three awesome swaps I've received using the Hold on to Hope set!

This card created by Kathy Johnson was the inspiration for the Touches of Texture Mini-Easel card I shared with you earlier this week HERE.

Kathy kept her colors simple: Berry Burst & Whisper White! Kathy also used a bunch of the dies in the coordinating Cross of Hope Framelits.

Susan B. Levasseur combined Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper (retiring and now SOLD OUT) with Crosses of Hope to create a WOW card:

I love this verse from Isaiah 46. God always keeps his promises!

Finally, my sister Stampers Dozen Blog hopper, Judy Garza, used Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Whisper White for her card. She cut the cross from Silver Foil, embossed the Old Olive background with the Layered Leaves Dynamic folder, and added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center for some sparkle.

I combined Flourishing Phrases and Playful Backgrounds again, hand-cutting the flowers. Classic Label-punched greeting and a Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim bow.

I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet before cutting, and added a Rich Razzleberry Enamel Shape before sprinkling Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Hey there! Recently one of my Yes Mam! Stampers team members, Linda, shared a new card layout she found on a demonstrator Facebook group. Terri Gaines shared this neat layout/fold/technique using the Classic Label Punch:

I used her layout/technique but used the Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch, and Delightful Daisy Designer Paper for my creation.

The card is held together by the daisy that is attached to the inside of the card and slides through to the front when it is gently folded and inserted in the slot created with the Classic Label Punch.

I just love the classic color combo of Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White!

Hey there! We are having a SNOW DAY in Southern Illinois! You wouldn't think this 58 year-old grandma would be so excited, but it's 16 degrees with about an inch of ice and a skittering of snow on top! Not to mention the wind is blowing fiercely! Mark has the wood stove burning merrily; sitting on the couch under my heated throw makes me thankful for a snug and cozy home! A snow day also means my daughter gets to stay home and love on her babies!

Now that I'm feeling better, (I still feel like I'm coughing up a lung about every other morning) I've finally had some mojo to play with my Sale-a-bration freebies. I played with the Lots of Lavender and Heartfelt Blooms sets to create this:

 I created the loopy bow by winding the Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon around my hand about 5 times, then tied another piece of ribbon around the center of the loops tightly. after fanning out the loops I adhered the the card with a couple of glue dots.

 The Lots of Lavendar stamp set is free with a $50 order from any current catalog. I stamped the bloom with Tuxedo Black Momento ink so I could both stamp it with the fill-in images from the set with Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz AND color the bow with a Light Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends Marker. I cut the layers with the Lots of Labels Framelits dies.

 I love the fonts used in the Heartfelt Blooms set. They stamp very crisply on Whisper White!

 I used one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders on the Wisteria Wonder layer, flipping the folder around after the first embossing so there would be both the positive and the negative impressions.

 Inside I stamped and colored the lavender again, as well as another Heartfelt Blooms sentiment. I cut the white layer 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"to allow more of the embossed Wisteria Wonder layer to show.

 As a final touch on the inside and outside lavender I added Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.
