Nutz about Stamping

NC Strawberries

Spring reminds me of strawberrry picking time in NC - one of my favorite things to do! Pick one, eat one, pick one, eat one...you get the picture! I can't wait until the U-Pick signs appear on the highways but until then I have to be content with my Tart & Tangy stawberries! Here's a b-day card I made for a friend.

Tart & Tangy in Raleigh!

I had so much fun creating the samples for my April Stamps in the Mail club which will feature the stamp set Tart & Tangy out of the Occasions mini catalog. The moment I saw this stamp set I just had to have it! And because this stamp set is so inexpensive, each club member will also receive (at no additional cost) half a pack of the Summer Picnic designer series paper and three markers in her kit. And of course the kit will also include all supplies needed to create four cards using this cute stamp set along with step-by-step instructions. Here's just one of the samples each kit will include - email  me to join this month's club!

Stamps in the Mail Club

With so many busy people nowadays, I know there are stampers and scrappers out there who want to attend classes but with being soccer/football/hockey moms and working full time too, there is little time for left for themselves. So I started my Stamps in the Mail Club this month and have had a great response.

Each month I pick a stamp set to feature and will mail it out along with everything needed to make four projects. So when the package arrives, you mount the stamps, stamp and assemble away. The package also includes step-by-step instructions for each project. Each month the club package is different. It might include a designer series pack of paper with the stamp set, or markers or ribbon or....

Here are a couple of cards that went with this month's stamp set of the month: A Good Egg. Isn't this stamp set cute?

Sale-a-Bration Poll Closed

Did you take a minute to vote in my second poll? The question was: Which Sale-a-Bration stamp set is a MUST HAVE? And the winner is.........what's this? It was a three way tie! Too funny, huh? Let's try a new poll. Check out the side bar to the right and have fun voting!

Speaking of Sale-a-Bration, don't forget March 17th is the final day of this wonderful promotion and your opportunity to earn a free stamp set or two. After March 17th these three stamp sets and the Love & Happiness Rub-Ons are gone for good.

Embellishment Heaven in Raleigh!

One of my lovely Raleigh hostesses requested that we play with different embellishments at her party last weekend. I was quite excited to hear this request as it prompted me to break open my Flower Fusion Accents and Elements and create!

Did you know there are 130 flowers in every tin? Think of all the cards you can make with only one tin. I have ideas galore for all sorts of cute and simple cards that will wow your friends and family and am happy to share them with you. Check out catalog page 177 to see the variety of shapes you will get.

Here's one sample I created tonight:
