Hello Stampers! I have to show you the birthday card that my daughter Amie made for my other daughter for her birthday! I just love it that they like to make cards with me!
Isn't it fun? I know, it uses lots of retired items, but they are fun still!
Hello Stampers! Yesturday was my oldest daughter's 18 birthday! I can't believe that she is that old already! Where did the time go?
Of course, I had to make her a card! I decided not to do a penguin card this time, but perhaps something a little more mature! Here's what I came up with:
I saw a card similar to this on Stampin' Connection and knew it would be perfect for her! I used all sizes of my circle punches with the Brights Collection paper stack (117155). The words are from the Fabulous Phrases stamp set (117002).
Stampin' Connection is a website that is only accessable to Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. There are thousands of cards, scrapbook pages, and 3D items on the site that have been added by other demonstrators. I love this because then I know that they all contain only Stampin' Up! products!
Join my Dink It Up! group and you can check out this site too! Contact me today and I'll show you how!
Hello Stampers! I have really been trying to clean up and organize my stamping room since I'm home this summer. I came across some pieces left over from a bunch of cards that I made, and decided to put them together on a card. Here is what I came up with:
The Mixed Bunch stamp set (125535) is such a versatile stamp set. And when you pair it with the Blossom punch (125603) it is even better!
The greeting is from the Pretty Postage stamp set (123095) and I used the 1" square punch (124094) and the Postage Stamp punch (122344).
Contact me today to place your order!
Hello Stampers! I decided I needed to take a little break from trying to figure out what I want to pre-order from the upcoming Holiday mini catalog, so I'm writing this blog post! Wait until you see the new mini! I want it all! It will go live on August 1st. If you want to make sure you receive a copy of it, leave me a comment, or send me an e-mail and I'll send you one!
Today I want to show you a card that I made using the new hostess stamp set, A Cherry on Top (125969). It is a fun set!
I cut out each of the bon bons and adhered them on the card with dimensionals. I also added a Paper Daisy (119243) in the top left corner that I sponged to add some color.
Did you notice all of the pearls on the stand? I thought it needed some extra bling since I used the new Delicate Deisgns embossing Folder (127023) and my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439). I love how fancy this folder makes my cards look!
If you haven't ordered the new embossing folders yet, hop on over to my Inkin With Dink online store and order yours today! Be sure that you place a large enough order so that you get the A Cherry On Top hostess stamp set for FREE!
Hello Stampers! Happy My Digital Studio Tuesday! Today I wanted to show you my new summer signature for my blog posts! I know, you have already been seeing it on some posts, but since I was gone last week, I don't have a new MDS project to share yet!
I love how I cam totally customize my signatures using any stamp sets or punches that I like and coloring them any color I want! Too fun!

Hello Stampers! Today I'm going to show some more pics from last month's group meeting!
One of our homework assignments for our May meeting, was to complete the card bags that we started making at our April meeting! Here are the finished bags that everyone brought to show! Aren't they fun?
These were the other half of our homework assignments! These are baker's twine holders that we started making at our April meeting also! Don't you love the ideas!!!!
We have a share time at every meeting where anyone can bring in any project that they've been working on to share with the others. These are some of the cards that I believe Karen brought in to show! Thanks for sharing Karen!
Finally, here is the door prize that Sarah made! This is a really cute origami box, sorry that I didn't get a better picture. She filled some of our 8" X 1" bags with fabric buttons and added the fun flowers on top! Love them! They were super cute! Thanks Sarah for sharing!
We would love to have you join us at our next group meeting! Contact me to find out how! There is such a great deal on the Stampin' Up! starter kit right now! You get to pick out your choice of up to $125 worth of products, plus you will receive a $65 business package, and you will pay only $99! What a deal!

Hello Stampers! Today was my June group meeting, but before I post any pics, I realized that I never shared last month's pics!
Here are the girls watching Lynn explain the make n' take for the month! We switched this month to meeting at a local restaurant. It has more room for us to spread out!
Here is the great make n' take that Lynn created for us! Gotta love the new hostess set, Carry On (126645) and the Cupcake Builder punch (121807). The girl's get to take turns, if they want to, creating the make n' take each month! Great job Lynn!
If you would like some information on how to join our group and have fun at the monthly meetings with us, contact me!
Hello Stampers! I'm back! Did you even know that I was gone? Thank goodness for the ability to preschedule my blog posts! My family and I got back late last night from several days in Destin, Florida! We love to go to the beach, and Destin is one of our favorite places to visit! Want to see some pictures of our trip?
I have to admit that I don't take near as many pictures on vacation as I used to! Time was when I would take a couple hundred pictures on a trip to the beach, this year I took about 60! It's just not the same the kids are 15 and 17 as it was when they were 4 & 6!
This is the view from our balcony! Beautiful!
Here I am ziplining for the first time ever! Loved it!
Here are the girls in the ocean.
Here is Casie and Bob trying their hand at jet skiing!
Here is Amie and I! What a blast!
Back to reality now! I have two kid's classes tomorrow, a downline meeting on Sunday, and three more classes this week! Come back to see what all we're making!
Hello Stampers! Unfortunately, I needed some sympathy cards that other day, so I went to my go to stamp set for sympathy cards, Thoughts & Prayers (113252). I just think it is such a beautiful stamp set!
Here is the card that I made:
I used the ornament punch (119847) for the vase and the framed tulips embossing folder (121809) around the outside edges.
If you would like to purchase this stamp set or accessories, hop over to my Inkin WIth Dink online store and order yours today! Don't forget my specials going on!
Hello Stampers! I came across another card that I had made long ago and forgot to post! I know that the stamp set is retired, but you can use any similar stamp set to achieve the same results!
I also used the retired In-colors, but you can use any color combination. The purple and orange ballooms are actually popped up with dimensionals to give the card some pop!
If you need to purchase some supplies, hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and place an order today. Don't forget about my specials going on now!
Hello Stampers! I was trying to clean off my camera memory card before we go on vacation, and I came across some cards that one of my customers and great friend Lisa made. Wanna see?
Trendy Trees stamp set (retired)
Mixed Bunch stamp set
punches
Aren't they fun? She did a great job! Thanks for sharing Lisa!
Hello Stampers! I guess I need to apologize, but I have yet another project to show you today that uses retired products! I guess I'm having a hard time letting go!
These are the thank you cards that I made for my preschoolers for my end of the year gifts. This stamp set, Beary Best Friends, is another one that I can't seem to get rid of! The bears are so cute!!!
Don't forget about my specials going on!
Hello Stampers! I recently had to come up with a simple thank you card for my daughter to send out. I didn't want to spend a ton of time on them since even if someone loved the thank you card, it isn't likely to end up on somebody's mantel! So, I came up with this design.
I used my only graduation stamp set that I own, Tassel Time, which retired years ago. I just love it though and can't part with it! For the sentiment I used the current set, Fabulous Phrases (117002).
I did have to use my Labels Collection framelits (125598) with my Big Shot because they can make projects look elegant with little work!
If you need to order any supplies for some upcoming thank you cards you may need to make then hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and place your order today!
Don't forget about my specials going on!
Hello Stampers! Today I wanted to show you one of the projects that we made in my WOW class last month. When I showed this to the people in the class, it certainly did get a WOW!
Isn't this fun? It is a gift card holder!
Here it is opened up.
We used the Labels Collection Framelits (125598) on the Big Shot! We then used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334) with the Diagonal Plate (125586) for the outside of the gift card holder and then placed the Rhinestone Jewels (119246) on the intersecting lines.
My next WOW class will be later this month on either Tuesday, June 26th at 6:30 p.m. or Wednesday, June 27th at 10:00 a.m. Contact me today to reserve your spot so that you don't miss out on the next set of WOW projects! The cost of this class is $15 or FREE with a $20 order. Don't live close? I can make up a kit for you for the same price. Just let me know!
Here's a sneak peek of this month's class:
