Now that the kiddos are in bed, nothing like doing a little bloggin’ and catching up on So You Think You Can Dance.
I’ve had fun playing with some new goodies this week!
I changed my mind a few times on where I was taking that card, so don’t look too closely! Even for such a simple card I’m indecisive. Hee hee.
I love this darling new stamp set. I see it being used a lot in my near future. It is a level 2 hostess set, Apple Blossoms. To learn more about how to earn this set for free, click here.
The photo is a bit blown out, but the center cut-out flower was stamped with the new Pear Pizzazz in-color. This coordinates with the new designer series paper there, Greenhouse Gala.
(*Note* I don’t have links for these new items yet, but you can find any of them in my store beginning tomorrow, July 1st. Click here and visit the “shop now” button.)
1 more card tonight, or a separate post tomorrow? Hmmm, okay, 1 more. I am blogging slowly while I watch SYTYCD. Love it, love it.
This was a fun and super simple card also. I again used the Greenhouse Gala paper. It’s so bold and fun and funky on one side, and the back of each paper is more subdued and beautiful. It’s an awesome variety.
The base is real red, and I again used Pear Pizzazz to coordinate with the dsp. And you know what I needed for this card that I just didn’t have?? (And I thought I did have, oops!) This!
The hodgepodge hardware, and specifically for this piece: 
Right? Wouldn’t that have been lovely on this card? The perfect touch? Ah yes, next time.
If you have questions on any of these products, need a BRAND new catalog, or want to join my cute team, visit my website or email me anytime!

I am now working on July’s card club projects and realize I didn’t post June’s. Here we go!
Alright, sometimes I see a card that is so cute, I just need to replicate it. I try to switch it up and make it my own, but I tried on this one and the original was just too cute and stuck in my mind.
I love cute simplicity in cards. And have I mentioned that I love punches? This is CASE’d (copy & share everything) right from Leanne’s blog, seen here.
This one is a bookmark card. I’ve seen these often and made a couple different kinds.
As a reader, I always like the thought of receiving a card and a bookmark. How fun.
And finally we made this fun Build-a-Bear card.
Isn’t she cute? My little girl is happy to know that now that my clubs are done for June, this card is hers. This was a very easy and fun card with the Big Shot machine and bear dies. (there are several, and more coming out in the new catalog July 1st. Let me know if you need a new catalog.) The letter A is from the Go Go Boots alphabet set. And the cute polka-dotted background? A favorite of mine, used very often. This is made using polka-dot impressions pad.
You can find any of the supplies used to make these cards in my online store here. (Click “shop now.”)
Tootles!

Okay, 1st of all, I actually sat down and made some cards tonight — just for fun. I know, it’s been a while. As soon as I find my husband’s camera, I’ll get some pictures up! Yay!
