Clean and Simple Guy Greetings

Here's a quick card I designed for my workshop last week. We used the Guy Greetings stamp set from the Occasions Catalog and the Typeset Designer Paper from the Annual Catalog. The sentiment "No one could fill your shoes" works for so many occasions: birthday, Father's Day, retirement, thank you...

Celebrate Today Hot Air Balloon Card FMS #183

I'm over a week late with my reveal, but I am excited to share projects for this month's Stamp of the Month Club featuring the Celebrate Today stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. Here is the first card:
Stampin' Up! Celebrate Today Card Kit -- 2015 Occasions Catalog  www.juliedavison.com #stampinup
Pin It!
http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.ca/2015/04/freshly-made-sketches-183.htmlI was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch #183. Sometimes when I start with a sketch, I end up tweaking it and going in a slightly different direction.  I ended up increasing the size of the bottom strip and I extended the foreground image to go all the way to the top of the card. I used the Party Pennants die for that piece. It's on the retiring list AND it's on sale for 40% off the regular price! See it here.

This is the first of three cards in my latest card kit for Stamp of the Month Club. This month's kit includes the Photopolymer Celebrate Today stamp set, pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping.

Last Chance Favorites: Little Buddy Birthday

Whew! What a busy week! My taxes are finally done! Claire got her braces on and I had a class on Tuesday and a workshop on Thursday. It's been a whirlwind! I'm moving on to design Stamp of the Month Club projects this morning and next week is all about prepping for Spring Into Stamping -- getting 6 projects ready for 90 demonstrators next Saturday.  Oh, and my hubby is going to be out of town for three days. If I can make it through the next two weeks, a sweet reward is waiting on the other side! My travel documents for the Hawaii incentive trip came this week! I need this vacation more than ever!

I haven't had a lot of time to "process" the Retiring List yet, but I'm excited to clear my shelves and make room for new stamps. It's sad to see some favorites go, so I wanted to share some of my favorite projects. First up: Little Buddy Birthday. This stamp set was brand new in the catalog last year. It's so cute! Check out the cards that Jen Davidson and I worked on together:

FMS182 Clean and Simple Hello Card

http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.ca/2015/04/freshly-made-sketches-182.html
I recently found the Freshly Made Sketches blog and have been wanting to play along with their weekly sketch challenge. When I was cleaning up my table from Stamp Club this week, I felt inspired to create this quick card with the latest Freshly Made Sketch #182.

FMS182 All Shook Up + Birthday Bash Hello Card #stampinup www.juliedavison.com
Pin It!
I really wanted to use a die cut word on the small rectangle part of the sketch, but the Hello You Thinlits were too big. This "hello" comes from the All Shook Up Paper Pumpkin Kit (Dec 2014). It goes perfectly with the Birthday Bash Designer paper!

I added a piece of the Best Year Ever ribbon. Sale-a-bration is over, but you can still earn this gift for free when you buy the Butterfly Basics bundle before April 30. Learn More.

http://aroundtheworldstampinchallenges.blogspot.ca/2015/04/aw39-photo-inspiration-inspiration-photo.htmlIt's time for another Around the World Challenge! I'm a day late posting, but there's still plenty of time to play along with the design team. This time, the challenge is an inspiration challenge. This photo had me thinking about spring and flowers, so I created a card with some spring birds building a nest.

Whooo's Amazing? Owl Top Note Treat Bags

Last week, the volunteer coordinator at my kids' school contacted me about borrowing some hole punches. She wanted to make treat bags for all the volunteers and thought I might have a punch she could use. Do I have a punch she could use!? LOL Um, YES! She sent me the link to an adorable treat bag she was trying to re-create and of course I had everything she needed except for the candy! I pre-cut the Top Notes for her and showed her how to use the punches and adhesive to put it all together.

I was so excited to get an email from her mid-project saying that she was having so much fun! And when she returned the punches, she asked to buy a SNAIL adhesive because she loved it so much! One of my favorite parts of this "job" as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is helping people find the crafty side of their personality. Now that Jaime knows how easy it is to make up little treats like this, I think she'll be excited to take on the next project like this!
