Just for Fun Pennant Card

I recently found this card on my desk and realized that I never posted it. This is the card that I designed as a make and take for my new catalog open house back in July. I just love the way that it turned out. I wanted to use the Perfect Pennants die for the Big Shot for something other than making a banner.

The pinwheel comes from the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set that I got for free on the Alaska Cruise. Click here to see more samples using this stamp set.

Sweets for the Sweet Mini Album

I'm almost out of projects to share! That means it's time to get the camera out again and capture what I've been working on. I have a new tutorial I'd like to write up too, so hopefully I can get to that later this week. In the meantime, here is the third make and take project from the Alaska cruise. It's a mini album using the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. I love that you can use the pieces in that set to make lollipops, pinwheels, and umbrellas. It has lots of possibilities!

Here's the inside of the album with pockets for photos and cards for journaling.

Sorry, I don't have instructions to share right now! It's on my list to do a makeover and post another version with a tutorial, but...don't hold your breath! ha ha! I'm just not going to make any promises on a time line.

Sweets for the Sweet Fun Fold Card

Yesterday I posted the Thank You card that Stampin' Up! sent to me after the Alaska Cruise. (Click here to see it.) They always spoil us on the incentive trips and this one was no exception! One of the pillow gifts we received was a bag full of stamping supplies to use for our make and takes the next day. Inside the bag was the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set (click here to see it in my Online Store), four of the new In Color ink pads, 2-Way Glue, Linen Thread, and a marker. The next day, while we were at sea, there was a special make and take session and we got to stamp three great projects with the new stuff.

I was thrilled to see and use this new Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon. Don't you love it? It's so flirty and fun! You can get a bit of all the new In Color Ruffled Ribbons with my In Color Product Share. Click here for details.
