Want an early peek at one of my general swaps?  You might just get one if you’re swapping at Inspire.Create.Share.2015.

Maui Stamper I Think You're Great

  • Stamps:  I Think You’re Great, Bordering Blooms
  • Color Palette:  Whisper White, Tip Top Taupe, Crushed Curry
  • Accessories:  Gold Sequin trim, 2 inch circle punch, 1 3/4 inch circle punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Have I mentioned how much I love Tip Top Taupe (T3) with any/all of our yellow tones? Look HERE and HERE.

Also, I would like to extend my personal appreciation to whomever it was that decided that sequins and Glue Dots should be the same size.  Thank you – I think you’re great!

Maui Stamper I Think You're GreatYou can make a heap of these in an evening – I know, because I did it!  What a great way to lift someone’s spirits.  I’ll bet you know someone who could use a card – Thank you, Birthday, Get Well, or just I Think You’re Great!  It would be best if you used one of our yellows with T3.

What are you waiting for?  Share the love.

Some friends came over a couple of weeks ago.  We usually meet once a month, and they asked a while ago if I would show them how to make a card.  Of course I would:

Maui Stamper Bordering Blooms Thanks

  • Stamps:  Bordering Blooms, Four You (retiring)
  • Color Palette:  Whisper White, Pear Pizazz, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Linen Thread, Rhinestone Jewels, Corner Rounder punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Maui Stamper Bordering Blooms ThanksIt’s a very simple design – these were all Stampin’ Newbies – but they had a good time.  I loved the end result, as every card was a little (or a lot!) different!

Maui Stamper Bordering Blooms Thanks

We stamped the inside and the envelope too.  That’s one of those small things that has a big WOW factor, at least in my book.  I also add a Whisper White (or Very Vanilla) liner to the inside of every card made with colored card stock.  It creates a finished look and I like the attention to detail.

A cheery Easel Calendar for April

Sunny yellow flowers are perfect for spring:

Maui Stamper April 2015 DIY Easel CalendarThe color theme is Hello Honey with a little Pear Pizazz and some Basic Black.  I love a basic black and white theme with a pop of color, don’t you?  Stamps are Gorgeous Grunge and Bordering Blooms, with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack shaping the flower.  I used Glue Dots to add a little bit of dimension to the flower without really popping it up.  My Chalk Marker added just a little highlight – white but not too bright!

Maui Stamper April 2015 DIY Easel CalendarThese little calendars go together quickly, and they’re really satisfying to complete.  It’s such a pleasure to have one sitting on my kitchen counter!
