To create this beautiful Thank You card is used a technique called Stenciling with Daubers. The stamp set is called Just Believe. What a great stamp set to own.

My color choices for this card are So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi.

Have you seen the new Owl Punch?

I just love this punch. You can punch different pieces out of different colors. I choose to use Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and Pacific Point cardstock. Along with some googlie eyes you have a cute owl.

To create this card I first stamped the base of the card with the Woodgrain Background stamp.
Punched a peek-a-boo hole using the 1 3/4" circle punch. I dressed up the Hole using the new 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch.
To get the little branch he is perched on I punched out a piece of Old Olive card stock with the Two Step Bird Punch.

Love this new Aviary stamp set found in the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book & Catalog.
Combined it with Hope Happens and created this adorable sunflower seed packet.

Here is my convention gift for some of my friends and roommates at Convention.
It features the Kimono Kids stamp set. I just love the saying in this set.
"One good friend is worth a thousand relatives."
To create this photo album cut a piece of card stock into 2 - 8 1/2" x 5" pieces scoring it at 1" and 2". Folding in the the first fold. The 2" just gives you a place to open the album. Inside I used Stampin' Up! Clear Envelopes to hold photos. Using the Crop-a-dile I punched a hole through all the layers. Added our new Antique Brads to hold it all together.

Well I am in Salt Lake City Utah for the week. Really cramming to make card fronts and 3D swaps and can't forget about Convention gifts for friends. Here is one of my Swaps.
With the heat lately I thought I would created something that brought cool thoughts.
I am sure you are thinking I am crazy to say "Let it Snow".

Using the Playful Pieces stamp set (a Level 3 Hostess stamp set) I created this adorable snow man.
You will need to punch out 3 circles from copy paper. Cut those circles using the 1", 1 3/8" and 1 3/4" circle punches.
Sponge around the outer edges of the circles with Bashful Blue Classic Ink, a little more heavy handed. Lightly sponging the inner part of the circle. Then add all of his accessories from the Playful Pieces stamp set to complete the look. Just love it.
The words are from Punch Pals stamp set.
This is a very simple card, only 2 layers. Bashful Blue and Whisper White card stock. To add a little depth I dragged the Whisper White card stock through Early Espresso Classic Ink (just the edge to add a thin line). It gives an illusion of a third layer of card stock.
No Stampin' Dimensionals on this card. Doesn't happen often:)
I also down scaled this card to create an ATC sized swap.

Created basically the same as the full size card. Except I used smaller circle punches. The 3/4", 1" and 1 3/8" circle punches. I also had to hand draw the eyes, mouth and buttons.

This card is such an elegant beauty. Very Chic!

This card is easier than it looks. The background is Sponged using a rectangle stencil. Stamp image in Stazon on Whisper White card stock. Using the Regal Rose Stampin' Write Marker color all of the flower except the centers. Come back with your Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker, only coloring the dark areas. This gives such depth. On your leaves use an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker to color it all then follow up with the Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Marker in the dark areas.
