Stamp with Amy

Easy Events

I was playing with my new Paper Doily Sizzlits Die, & I thought a tone-on-tone card would be really pretty with the large doily. I love the Pool Party color for a baby card, so this is what I came up with:

It's so soft & pretty with the So Saffron/ Pool Party combo!

Bye Bye, Fox & Friends!

I am soooo sad that the Fox & Friends stamp set is retiring! This is one of my all-time favorite sets. The little animals are so adorable! Here are a couple of cards previously seen on my blog that are made with this set:

On this card, I used the Rock & Roll technique on his head, cut it out, & popped it up on Dimensionals. Sooo cute!

This card was a birthday card given to my daughter by talented stamper, Shruti Parikh & her daughter. Love it!

The Fox & Friends stamp set (c-118565 or w-117020) is retiring on June 1, so be sure to get yours asap!

Bye Bye, Beary Best Friends!

I cannot believe the number of stamp sets I have retiring! Each time a new catalog has come out in the past, I've been amazed at how few stamps I had to retire. Well, I guess that finally caught up with me. I have more than 40 sets retiring! 

One of the darling sets that didn't get much use in my stamp room is the Beary Best Friends stamp set, and its companion word set, Beary Nice Wishes. These are Build-A-Bear sets, which are adorable for kids' cards!

Honestly, I stamped this image over a year ago, & it has been sitting on my desk, waiting to be colored all these months! I finally sat down today & created a card featuring some of our retiring products.

The bears are colored with all retiring colors, the 2010-2012 In Colors. So sad to see them go! The green Rhinestone brad is also retiring, along with the Just Add Cake DSP. The cute Ticket Corner Punch is going, too. Can't wait to see all the new goodies that are replacing these retiring ones!

Baby Bundle Card from Joanna

Hello! Yesterday I received the most precious baby card from my friend, Joanna Valler, who is a member of my team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.

What a talented stamper! This adorable chest of drawers features the Baby Bundle stamp set, one of my faves! 

The baby is crying so I have to run, but I just wanted to share this great card with you!

Mouthwatering stamp set

Today I have another project featuring lots of new goodies from the Occasions Mini Catalog. 

So fun!

The new Mouthwatering stamp set has 4 yummy treats, perfect for a birthday card or any project about spring or summer. The Mini Catalog also has new scented embossing powder, so we can make scratch & sniff cards! Whoot!

The Sweet Shop DSP is so adorable & coordinates with this stamp set perfectly. Other new products on this card are the new Labels Colection Framelits, which I am in love with, the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies (Lucky Limeade scallop border), and the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details (on cherry).

Baby Prints for my baby girl!

Today I am being induced. I cannot believe the day is finally here! We had to be at the hospital at the crack of dawn, so hopefully Baby Girl will be here by the end of the day! Whoot!!!

When I saw the Baby Prints stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog, I immediately started imagining all of the wonderful projects I could make about my new baby, especially scrapbook pages. I can't wait to start preserving our early memories of her in a scrapbook! 

Today's card features this set. This is also a case of the project in the Mini Catalog, but I changed the colors & accessories:

Ohmygosh, I love it! The patterned paper is the new Sweet Shop DSP from the Occasions Mini Catalog. The white polka dots are embossed, so it has a very pretty texture. I love the Wisteria Wonder & Pretty in Pink combination.

Happy Halloween!

Today, my kids are off of school for a teacher work day, so we slept late & are having a lazy morning. I love days like this! I'm even going to be a lazy stamper & share a card that I made a while back. This is a card that I saw on the internet & totally cased it, so I can take no credit for its wonderful creativity!

How stinkin' cute is that? I absolutely love all of those little owls all dressed up for trick-or-treating! For the web background, I brayered my Spiderweb embossing folder with White Craft Ink before running my black cardstock through it in the Big Shot.
