1st Class Creativity

Good Sunday Morning!

Can you believe that today is the last day of May?   Where does the time go?  

I have to admit I'm VERY EXCITED to get the Last Chance (retired list) tomorrow!   So check back tomorrow to see who won the contest and to get the retired list, and I believe this is going to include the accessories too!   I have a feeling things are going to go QUICK!!!

Tiea and I are throwing a creative workshop party today but before I leave to greet her and her guests (with lots of stamping and scrapping fun), wanted to share this little scallop note card in Pink Pirouette, because each day of life truly is a PRECIOUS gift from GOD!  

Enjoy your Sunday!  I hope you are very blessed!

Didn't realize picture was so blurry!   My battery must be getting low!  

 

I just love the new oval scallop punch.  I actually stamped the image, punched it out and then put is on Stampin' Dimensional on the inside of the card and punch a hole in the front of the card.  The front actually goes over the scallop on the inside of the card and it keeps the card shut.  It's pretty cool! 

If you haven't ordered this punch yet, give me a call!  You'll be glad you did!

6 X 6 Scrapbook Page made with Die Cut Blooms

I created this 6 x 6 page using the Rockabilly Designer Series Paper, Riding Hood Red Card Stock the Die Cut Blooms, white grommets (occasions mini catalog) and button from the button bouquet. 

It turned out so cute!   This is a picture of Crystal 2 years ago as a kitten.  She is a beautiful! 

Be sure to check out my creative gallery to see all samples of my creative projects.  You can also see more creative projects at www.stampwithkari.stampinup.net.

Die Cut Blooms

Die Cut Blooms are an easy and fun way to create cards and scrapbook pages.

Here are just some of the flowers I made out of one kit.  You can find the diecuts on page181.  You get 4 different colors, four 12 x 12 sheets 1 of each color.   The buttons I used are on page 176 and are the button Bouquet item 112092.

 

Here is another set I put together!

 

Here is a card I made with the die cut blooms!
