Flower Pot Card

Isn't this a clever card. I cased this from many cards I saw on Splitcoast Stampers . The flowers were created using the Sizzix Big Shot and Sizzlets Dies.

This shows the "inside of the pot". Look at the sentiment - I just now read it - how appropriate is the "grow" for this card. lol

Enjoy.

Animal Stories

Here is a cute card made using the new stamp set "Animal Stories" that you can purchase starting July 1, 2009. It is using Tall Tales Designer Series Paper that will be available also starting July 1st. This bow is tied also using the "Finger Knot" that I mentioned in my last posting.

Isn't this a great stamp set for making childrens cards or scrapbook pages? Just think about using it on a page with pictures from when you went to the zoo.

Hope you think it is as cute as I do.

Kind & Caring Thoughts

This is a new Level 3 Hostess Set (Kind & Caring Thoughts) that you can earn by holding a workshop with net sales totaling $500 or more. You may think that is impossible to do, but if you have 6-8 guests plus you - and if each person spends between $55 to $72, that's not hard to do. Some will spend more, and some less.

Once you get your copy of the new catalog, just sit down, go thru it a couple times, and make out a "wish list". Let your friends look at it and make their lists too. Then, by the time you have your workshop, and everyone buys a stamp set or two, some of the new In Color paper and coordinating products, a package of new yummy Designer Series Paper - before you know it you've made your sales.

This card is using Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, & Crushed Curry cardstock; Kind & Caring Thoughts Level 3 Hostess Stamp Set; Melon Mambo Polka Dot 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon; and Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper.

The ribbon is tied using a new technique I learned that I'm calling the "Finger Knot". I found this technique on YouTube. If you want to watch it to go stampinheather.

Thanks for looking.
