This card is so simple and has such a WOW factor! I made this card by running a piece of patterned paper through my BIG SHOT using the ELEGANT BOUQUET EMBOSSING FOLDER. I then lightly sanded the flowers to give them the white, distressed look. The image came from the RAZZLE DAZZLE stamp set! These items and EVERYTHING from Stampin' Up! is now 20% off in Heidi's Special Sale. Email me at fluteprincess619@yahoo.com for more details.
RAZZLE DAZZLE is a very cute and versatile stamp set. It is only $18.95 (regular price) but I am offering it until Monday at an EXTRA 20% off. If you would like this set and ANY items from Stampin' Up!, please email me at fluteprincess619@yahoo.com with your order. Stay tuned for THREE more cards using this stamp set.
One of my favorite meetups is a monthly group were several of us meet and do a shoebox swap. We all create a card or project and bring enough for each person to make our project. I love teaching stamping but this event gives me an opportunity to LEARN new things from my creative crafty sisters!
This is a holiday card that I made. It was inspired by a card in a popular stamping magazine that I love! I enjoyed using Stampin' Up! paper and products in addition to some amazing vintage sheet music from my trumpet player fiance, Marty and fun goodies from my stash!
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 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!

Top Note
This card was done by cutting a piece out acetate using the Top Note die for the Big Shot. I then used brown paint on the back of the acetate and sprinkled it with Stampin' Up! Glitter. One the front of the acetate, I rubbed a rub-on from the Lovely Flowers Level 3 Hostess Bundle. This card was fun and very easy to do. What I love most is that the acetate takes on a wooden look.
Tomorrow, I have the BIGGEST stamping event thus far. I was invited to teach cardmaking 101 to the faculty of a school right outside of New York City. Most of the people have never stamped. I will be working with approximately 60 people! My largest group ever.
We have had MANY people at our Stampin' Up! Open Houses but there many of my team would be there to help. This time, I am on my own! (Well, Mart offered to help, too.) I am SO excited to have this chance to meet so many new stampers!
Preparing for this event was a bit of a challenge for me. After stamping for so many years, I have developed many techniques and designs. I usually create cards that are a bit challenging. For tomorrow's event, it is important to keep the designs/techniques very simple. I want these new stampers to see that THEY TOO can make cards!
The cards pictured are the designs that we are making tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Today, I had one of my FAVORITE monthly events, Stamp-a-Stack. At this event, stampers pay $20 to make 20 cards! What a deal! If you go to most stores, cards will run $3-$5 for ONE card. We had a great time today with our stamping marathon and stampers left with a stack of cards and a SMILE on their faces.
One thing I love about this event is the opportunity to create very freely. I focus on making cards that can be recreated rather quickly while still having some pop.
I am a HUGE fan of the PaperCrafts magazine. I used it for inspiration for today's cards. I scanned the current issue for ideas of layouts. I loved combining items from my own stash with fabulous Stampin' Up! products.
Two of the projects used diecuts from The Big Shot! I loved cranking out WAY too many butterflies and branches for two different cards. I think my stampers LOVE all of the extra diecuts as they usually get to leave with a clear envelope of extras to take home and use to create.
Remember...cardmaking can be simple and quick. The results are amazing and the recipient will LOVE it!
