Love this set!!!  We used it at the Stamp a Stack and here it is again.  This time I stamped the flower 4 times, used      to punch out the bottom flower, then just cut out the next 3 layers.  Notice the "greeting?" It's the new Level 1 Hostess set from the Summer Mini.  Want it?  Gather $150 in orders from yourself and your friends, and it's yours.

Stamp a Stack

40 cards in one day!!!  That's quite a bit of stampin'.  We had a great time at the Hampton and will do it again in the Fall for the Holidays.  Here are some of the pics from Saturday----

Fun Day of Stamping

Saturday was a great morning of stamping.  Everyone loved the projects. I'm excited about the upcoming Stamp a Stack on May 7th.  10 different cards (4 of each design).  I'll be posting pics of the cards this week.  Here are some pics of our happy stampers and the other two projects.  The bunny shows how versatile the Big Shot is and how easy it is to add texture.  The birthday card uses the cupcake punch and a die that makes rick-rack.  Teeny Tiny Buttons and Pearls add just the right dimensions to this card.

MIA

Yes, I've been MIA for a couple of months due to having surgery, but I'm back and up and moving again.  I can't do much, but I can sit and stamp! Congrats to Jill for winning my Blog Candy.  I'll do another one again in May.  Here is one of the cards we will be doing next week at my April Stamp Camp at my house.  I copied this from Frenchie and thanks to Bonita for sending me the YouTube video.  It is an easy card to make, but  looks classy.
