Groovy
From
the
Garden
Groovy Guava is one of the In Colors I am going to be sad to see retire. Talking about retiring, this stamp set is retiring also. I really like this way of using it. I saw the circles punched out on another site and can't remember who it was. It is a easy card to do and so summery!
I spent a few hours yesterday working on next months project. It is going to be a great gift for anyone, especially for Christmas! Grandma's will love it. So be sure to check back to see it with the instructions to make it. I am surprised I could even do it. Lola was at my feet most of the day unless she was in lap. We took her to get spayed on Thursday and picked her up Friday. I was asked to post her picture so here it is, she needs a haircut!

You're
Invited!
It's time for the Fourth of July party! Can you believe it is right around the corner? This is another Stamp Camp project we did. The invitation is just one piece of cardstock and does not open. It is cute and easy to do. The votive holder came from the dollar store, we tied a piece of ribbon around it and punched 2 stars with the large punch and used the Independence Day Stamp set to stamp the center piece and punched it out with a 1 inch punch. Tie the ribbon thru the center.

I was on vacation all of last week visiting with my friends from high school. We go someone every year for a week and have the best time. I got there the day before the retired list came out and I want to tell you trying to read the retired list from a Blackberry was no fun! If you want to see the retired list, CLICK HERE. If there is anything you'd like on the retired list, contact me and I will give you a 10% discount off of your entire order. I only want 2 sets that are retiring is the good news, one of them being Noble Deer. It has been around forever and I just kept putting it off. I can't wait to see the new catalog that they will be giving us at Convention!
I even took a box of stamping stuff intending to work on convention swaps and realized I had forgotten my embossing gun after I got there. So instead of something new, I will show you the star card and pixie stick centerpiece we did at Stamp Camp. Christy designed both of these projects and they were fun to do. You could do the star centerpiece for the Fourth of July!

Flower
For
You
This is an easy project that even the kids can do. These would make cute table decorations also or use them as hostess gifts or door prizes.
You are going to first select the designer paper you want to use. Cut it to 3 x 6 inches. Fold like an accordion. Score it at every 1/2 inch. Fold lightly in the center across the folds. Take the short end and glue or staple together. Repeat with the opposite end. Attach with a glue dot to the skewer.
Cut a circle the size of the top of the flower pot. Punch 2 pieces with the scallop punch. Put one on top of the circle with a hole cut in the center. Place a piece of florist's foam in the pot. Layer the large circle and scallop circle on top. Stick the skewer into the pot.
Cut a flower using the 5 Petal Flower Punch in a solid color. Cut a 1/2 inch circle using the 1/2 Circle Punch. Cut a hole in the center of each and attach together using the Build a Brad. Use a dab of glue and attach it to the top of the Build a Brad. Attach the clear top piece that comes with the build a brad. Use a glue dot to attach it to the flower.
Cut a 3 1/2 inch piece of Celery Ribbon. Tie it to the skewer for the leaves. Voila, you are done!

Sassie
Suzie
Here
is a
card
I
designed
for
Stamp
Camp
and
it
uses
Sassy
Suzie
from
the
Mini
Catalog.
This
is a
gift
card
as
you
will
see
in a
minute.
It
was
fun
to
make
and
I
know
just
the
friend
I
will
be
giving
it
to!
The
saying
in
the
card
is "
Your
friendship
is
the
most
uplifting
thing
in
my
life
without
underwire".
You
cut
a
scallop
circle
in
half.
The
straps
are
made
with
a
word
punch.
Tie
a
small
bow
in
the
center.
This
week
I
will
post
some
of
the
other
stamp
camp
projects,
we
really
had
some
great
ones
so
come
back
to
see
what
we
did.

You're
One
of a
Kind
Card
I
saw
this
card
at
SCS
by
atomicbutterfly
and
has
to
CASE
it.
It
uses
my
favorite
designer
paper
which
I am
sure
will
be
on
the
retired
list
coming
out
June
15th
so I
plan
on
stocking
up
with
a
few
more
packages
of
it.
The
flowers
on
the
card
are
stamped
in
Pomegranate,
cut
out
and
then
have
a
dab
of
chunky
glitter
in
the
center
of
each
flower
for
a
little
bling.
