I love using fun, new products to make simple cards. This card was part of my stamp-a-stack at THE MECCA--where I hold my classes in New York City. It is using SNOW BUDDIES-a hostess set in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
I am so excited about the upcoming announcement that will launch on SUNDAY here on my blog. You won't want to miss it--bookmark my blog so you don't miss the news! Labels: Card sketches, Design Team, Founder's Circle, Gotham City Stampers, Heidi Davenport, Marty Bound, New York City, Stampin' Up
I love DASHER for so many reasons. He has nice, clean, simple lines and the lil' guy is only $8.95! This is another card that I used at my holiday stamp-a-stack. It was a huge hit as it only took a few minutes and really made a beautiful impact. Do you love DASHER as much as I do? You can order this happy guy on my ONLINE BOUTIQUE.

I LOVE this new hostess set from the HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG! You can earn this stamp set by placing a $150 (or more) order! I saw a card similar to this one on www.splitcoaststampers.com and thought it was so simple and elegant. I tweaked it and used it as one of my four cards for my recent Stamp-a-Stack Class!

I love the colors of Autumn and am really enjoying the Stampin' Up! Fall Stamps. This stamp, SIMPLY THANKS is only $7.95 and is perfect for so many different cards. You can order this and so much more by clicking here.
I love, love, love CHOCOLATE CHIP and use it as often as possible. This is definitely an example of a well-loved stamp pad! I stamped this great stamp on VERY VANILLA cardstock.
I tied a sweet little bow and wrapped it around CHOCOLATE CHIP cardstock and our new AUTUMN MEADOWS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.
Popped the stamped image on TAKEN WITH TEAL cardstock and added a chocolate chip corduroy button...a bit of twine and it's done!
I hope you loved this quick and simple Autumn Card...I would love to hear your comments!

In CELEBRATION of World Cardmaking Day, my amazing and crafty friend, Eileen teamed up with me again to co-teach a WOW card class. The cards that we created and shared gave a HUGE WOW! We even had a stamper that came all the way from GERMANY to stamp with us! One of my cards used the gorgeous stamp set, AUTUMN SPLENDOR. I love making waterfall cards and this class was the perfect opportunity.
A waterfall card pops a lot of punch and really WOWs people that get one. Not sure how to make one? Check it out on Splitcoast Stampers.
I love the simple lines of the leaves in this set. AUTUMN SPLENDOR combines so nicely with AUTUMN DAYS--almost like they were made to go together! The leaves are from AUTUMN SPLENDOR, the acorn if from AUTUMN DAYS. Beautiful together!
This is a quick picture of the setup of this card! If you follow the steps on Splitcoast Stampers, you will be able to make this card, too! Don't be intimidated by the directions/steps--try one and you will be hooked!
I wanted to add CORDUROY BUTTONS and the colors that I have just didn't seem to work. It is really easy to dye the KRAFT BUTTONS to any color that you want using our Stampin' Up! reinkers! A little squirt on the button and VOILA--Dusty Durango!
Here is the finished card--well, almost...at the point that I took this picture, the buttons were still trying. BUT, you get the idea! I promise to post the actual finished card SOON! I hope you enjoy this! (Don't you wish you could pull that ribbon and make the waterfall trickle in front of your eyes?)

At the 2009 Stampin' Up! Convention, our wonderful CEO, Shelli, showed us how to use the FLOWER FOLDS Big Shot Die to make these amazing flower brooches.
Today, my crafting friend, Eileen and I taught a jewelry making class at THE MECCA in NYC. These are the gorgeous brooches made by the very talented stampers and members of the Gotham City Stampers: Eileen, Christine, Rosie, Amalia, Teri and Ashlie! I hope you enjoy them!

Heidi Davenport Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator, (917)280-1095, fluteprincess619@yahoo.com, http://heididavenport.blogspot.com/, http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/gothamcitystampers/
New York, NY-Stampin’ Up! recently recognized local businesswoman Heidi Davenport with an invitation to attend the company’s annual Founder’s Circle weekend retreat. This prestigious event honors Stampin’ Up!’s most successful demonstrators with a weekend dedicated to rewarding these outstanding individuals for their commitment and dedication.
Founder’s Circle members are top achievers in several different Achievement Award categories, such as Top Personal Sales and Top Recruiting. Heidi was honored specifically in a category of Demonstrator of the Year. This category honors the top 100 demonstrators out of all the thousands of demonstrators in the United States who have shown leadership and a balanced, successful approach in developing their business. This award is only presented to demonstrators who have been with the company for more than six months.
Heidi will join other demonstrators from the United States and Canada for three relaxing and inspiring days in St. George, Utah. Also in attendance will be Stampin’ Up! Cofounder and CEO Shelli Gardner.
“Every year, I look forward to Founder’s Circle and the opportunity it provides for me to spend valuable one-on-one time with the exemplary leaders and business builders who have earned this trip,” says Gardner. “The Founder’s Circle Retreat is exactly that—a retreat from the hectic demands these women face every day, and we strive to pamper and reward these demonstrators, who have contributed so much to Stampin’ Up!’s success. We want them to know how much we appreciate their hard work and commitment by giving them an experience they will remember for years to come.”
Earning a spot in the Founder’s Club is one of the most sought-after awards for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, who recognize the deep respect these businesspeople receive. These demonstrators exemplify all that Stampin’ Up! represents and work hard to share their love for creativity and stamping with others as they strive to make a difference in the world around them.
”My focus has been to connect people through the love of crafting. Stampin’ Up! has given me the opportunity to meet new friends, build a business and touch lives all while doing something that I love. I am honored to have earned this award from Stampin’ Up!,” Heidi Davenport.

My team, The Gotham City Stampers, in New York City recently returned from the 2009 Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City. For some of us, we have been there before and for four of our teammates--this was their first Convention. Upon getting our Convention bags, I went to pick up my award from the Awards Booth. One of my accomplishments this year was to have TEN of my downline promote to Senior Associate. This is something that Stampin' Up! rewards with stamp sets, cash and a walk on stage. I knew I earned it and was beyond excited about it. At the Awards Booth, they handed me my stamp sets and then from behind the counter pulled out a SUPER CUTE bag and announced "YOU EARNED FOUNDER'S CIRCLE!!" I was shocked and overwhelmed with emotion. The coolest part is that most of my team was standing there when it happened. I had no idea and nothing could have ever prepared me for that news! (If you are wondering, what is Founder's Circle? SU! awards that to the top 1% of the company.)
One of my friends, Gayle, captured the moment when I first found out! I was crying for hours and continue to when I think about that moment in my life.
This is a picture of most of our team right when I found out this news! I love this picture for so many reasons. If you look closely, the person taking the picture also captured the computer screen with my Awards Information on it! HOW COOL!
At Awards Night, I found out that I was the #78 Top Demonstrator in a company of about 40,000 Demonstrators. This is awarded for sales, recruiting and leadership of my team. WOW! I started the night sitting by one of my role models, Mary Polcin, in the reserved seating for those that earned Founder's Circle. It was one surreal moment after another that night. I was called on stage to meet Shelli Gardner! UNREAL! My team said that I didn't smile much--I have to admit my knees were knocking the whole time! 
This is the group of ten that I was honored to be a part of for the Awards Night pictures!
I have to admit that this night was one of the most special nights of my life! I do what I do in Stampin' up! because I love it and my team. I am awarded for that everyday by being surrounded by positive, creative and supportive people who mean the world to me. This night was the icing on the cake! Gotham City Stampers---I LOVE YOU ALL!
