Strength & Hope

Sorry it has been a while since I posted here.  It's been busy with flooding, trying to get spring work done, branding, etc.  It is raining again here today and with the ground being as saturated as it is we will be dealing with flood water again I am sure.  I wanted to post a card I did this month for a swap that is done with the Strength and Hope set in the summer mini.  Stampin' Up! donates $2 from the sale of each set to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Get yours today--you can order off my website at http://www.rheastamps.stampinup.net/

This is such a beautiful set.  I just love it.  It also uses the postage stamp punch from the summer mini--there are lots of great things in this mini catalog.  I will post some cards made with the flower fest stamp set later this week.    Thanks for stopping by--don't give up on me here I will try to get some ideas out to you all!

Fabulous Florets #2

Today's post is once again with the fabulous florets stamp set from the summer mini--I am loving this stamp set!  It makes beautiful cards. 

I love to combine ribbons as I did on this card, you may have to look closely but it uses the certainly celery 1/8" ribbon and the taffeta ribbon together.  The flower looks pretty detailed but it wasn't bad to cut out and pop up with some dimensionals.  Thanks for stopping by today--have a great day!

Fabulous Florets

Today's post is a card made by Mary Ammar.  I love Mary's style and love her bright colors in this card.  She used tangerine tango and rich razzleberry together for the flowers with a little dazzling diamonds glitter in the middle.  Layering against the black makes for a very rich, bright card!

She used the Fabulous Florets set from the new summer mini.  If you don't have one in your hot little hands you can download it by clicking on it over in the right hand margin of this blog.  The greeting comes from the Friends 24-7 stamp set.   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!



Summer mini is available

As of May 1st,  we are able to place orders out of this mini catalog.  If you don't have a mini catalog in your hot little hands you can download a pdf of it.  Just click on the picture on the sidebar of my blog here and it should download for you.

Have a great day!

Dog Days

I am so ready for the Dog Days of Summer--I would be happy if spring would arrive and stay for a while.  We are getting a teaser today in Montana but it is still snowing every couple days it seems.  Today's post is a sympathy card that I made for my dear friend and downline, Denice.  She lost her yorkie a while back and it was devastating for them.

It uses the D is for Dog set, some of the new baker's twine from the summer mini, some pearl accents, along with a little sponging.  I used early espressso, riding hood red, and white cardstocks. 

The inside of the cards are just as fun as the outside and this one showcases the new postage stamp punch from the summer mini.  I hope it helped to brighten her day!
