Flowers

Here are more things I made using the ideas that I got from the SBStampers Spring Fling Event. I got so many ideas from those talented women... I think I'm set for a while!
The box and the flowers were made using Stampin' Up! dies. It didn't take very long at all.

This card is made using the 5 petal punch and the Top Note die. I also used the new Stampin' Up! texture plates.

I have lots more ideas churning!

Hello Kitty Purse

I made a Hello Kitty purse using the instructions I got from the SBStampers' Spring Fling Event. It kind of creases when I have it latched, but I think overall it came out okay.

And I used a Build-a-Brad from Stampin' Up! and cut out the Hello Kitty face from some scrap paper I had.

I used the Hello Kitty Sizzlit.

The bag itself is made using Stampin' Up! DSP and card stock. And I used some Velcro that I got from Joanns.

I used different punches to attach the clasp and the handles, but I think they worked out fine. I also used my new Eyelet boarder punch that I got from Stampin' Up!

I think I just have to make a few more to get the hang of it and work out the kinks.

I got one too!

My cousin posted the Hello Kitty Easter card that she got from our Auntie and it's sooo cute! Well, to my surprise, I got one in the mail yesterday too!

Thank you so much Auntie Jan!! It's always so nice to get cards in the mail, it just brightens my day! Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

I hope you got some new ideas and inspiration from these samples, I know I did! There were so many great cards, these are just a sampling of how talented those women are!

Samples - part 1

Here are some of the samples that I took pictures of at the SBStampers' Spring Fling Event I went to last weekend. A lot of the cards are using new products - embellishments, tools, stamps. Some are from the new mini catalog that starts on April 1st. There's so many cute things, I already have an order ready from that catalog.

Purse

I was invited to attend the SBStampers' Spring Fling Event. They're a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators here in the Puget Sound area and I got to attend as the guest of Kristin. I met a bunch of really nice, fun and talented women there. They're so creative! I got a ton of great ideas and we made these purses and matching cards as the make-and-take.

If I'm brave, I might try to make another one of these... they pre-cut and scored pretty much everything for you, and there were women walking around helping us so we didn't mess up. Even with all that I made some mistakes and it took some time to make.

I'll post some pictures I took of their samples tomorrow. These are some seriously talented women!
