WOW!  Two cards in two days!  I guess I'm trying to make up for missed creative time the last few days.   I created another card with the special Dream Pop Paper that will be available beginning May 1 until May 31 (or until supplies last).  This paper is so much fun I'll be REALLY surprised if there is any left at the end of May! This morning when I checked the blog challenges I got an idea to combine the Mojo Monday sketch with the Heart 2 Heart Challenge (create something with a cake or cupcakes and twine).  I couldn't wait to get home and put my idea to an actual card! Here is what I came up with: I used some Dream Pop pattern paper for the bottom portion of the card and the rest is cardstock from the Dream Pop pack. The cardstock is so cool because it has a resist pattern on it.  Each color has a different pattern.  I used the cupcake stamp from Pun Fun (C1501) - one of my favorite sets!  I used Black Pigment ink for my stampi...

It's been Wednesday since I've posted anything.  Of all time to come down with a nasty cold, it had to be now.  UGH... I haven't felt like doing much but had to force myself anyway.  I had to finish up a few shopping items Friday and Saturday.  I sure haven't felt like crafting either and I've got plenty that I need to do!  I've got this VERY CUTE Whooo's Your Valentine Kit just waiting waiting for my to play with but I haven't got the mojo for it right now. This past week I've shared a couple of cards from a set of All Occasion cards I made for a gift.  Here are a few more.   These cards were so fun to make. I used some left over Dotty For You paper (a paper pack from our past National Scrapbooking Month special) and this fun little PUN FUN (C1505) stamp set.                                                 ...

Here is another Dotty For You and Pun Fun card for my gift set I made! This Pun Fun stamp set is so adorable! It has 6 stamps with a sentiment attached.                       I cut my sentiment apart from my stamp (YIKES!)  But that's OK, you can do that!  By doing so, I was able to place "Happy Belated Birthday" in a curved position on my stamp.   See the picture above. I stamped my turtle onto Sweet Leaf cardstock and again on the Sweet Leaf Dotty For You Paper.  I cut out the dotted portion of the turtle and glued it to the Sweet Leaf cardstock turtle. Next, I added Stardust Gitz Glitter Gel to his birthday hat!

Yesterday I held an all day crop for my StampinHeaven Hostess Club Members.  Just another benefit I provide to my hostess clubs!  I appreciate my Hostess Clubs and like to provide a space and free lunch for my Hostess Club Members to catch up on projects.   We had a wonderful day yesterday and I used the time to work on upcoming projects.  I took a break after a while to do something for fun.  I had brought along some challenges in case I got a chance to try one out.   This card was fun and a bit different from my usual 'style'. I used the colors from The Playdate Cafe and the sketch from Unscripted Sketches to create my card.                                 Here is my card: I used Ruby, Cocoa and Goldrush cardstock.  Usually I have some type of pattern paper on my cards. I didn't like the plain cardstock so I added 5/8" punched circles to the card. ...
