We had to bring 2 different card designs and a 3-D project with all of the materials for 30 people to create. Shannon and I had some left overs of the cards and 3-D project we designed so I used them for my Vienna stamp club. Here are 2 of the 3 cards we made and a little box using the Scallop Circle bigz die and the Daisies #2 bigz die for the Big Shot. </div></div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395335779573465110.post-42677470082088684252011-05-08T19:05:00.000-07:002011-05-30T19:11:18.612-07:00My second project for UStamp Classes, Clubs and Camps<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfQWvd29qJwIpFVqbVPFTKerRFK_y7qjwAUywjslV0pDg_mHtiuAvX1hkpCwrJYd1u6_BEwihotZOOF20GUTurxL-fJdetkyD31GoaWGVeM9kRs37H_wHLU0jkla6Hx2KGCUCnOa9OFI/s1600/heatherdeancharmsclasslead.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 257px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612696058826896994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfQWvd29qJwIpFVqbVPFTKerRFK_y7qjwAUywjslV0pDg_mHtiuAvX1hkpCwrJYd1u6_BEwihotZOOF20GUTurxL-fJdetkyD31GoaWGVeM9kRs37H_wHLU0jkla6Hx2KGCUCnOa9OFI/s320/heatherdeancharmsclasslead.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvfRvn3r7aMxLGT4ydjA6n1Vs32J3hxhLsfwXVprzLmfsSjR7ugVvI_huxFYttlVcJMHQ4JMXsjEqUmhJ2jFpmpm2_jPRN004hCt88iZ_5kU4FkVrZbCXv0XtHNmHO710vFgIyNuxSWY/s1600/IMG_3770.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612696066915315746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvfRvn3r7aMxLGT4ydjA6n1Vs32J3hxhLsfwXVprzLmfsSjR7ugVvI_huxFYttlVcJMHQ4JMXsjEqUmhJ2jFpmpm2_jPRN004hCt88iZ_5kU4FkVrZbCXv0XtHNmHO710vFgIyNuxSWY/s320/IMG_3770.JPG" /></a>My second UStamp project posted today.

I decorated the Decor blocks and spelled out EASTER and SPRING. I used a huge variety of my Big Shot die cuts and embossing folders. I decorated five sides of the 6 blocks so it took awhile but it was lots of fun. There's a tutorial with lots of pictures available on the UStamp class site along with my Springtime Vintage wreath and 40+ super projects from other talented UStamp designers.

Dawn pairs us up and we send each other a card and also send two cards to Dawn. Dawn then randomly chooses one designer and one member of UStamp to give a set of all the designer cards she receives. I haven't won yet but I've got my fingers crossed for this round.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I was paired up with Paula Dobson this time. This card came all the way from New Zealand to my mailbox in Virginia. Love that! Isn't it the cutest card?! I still haven't used this great stamp set "Eat Chocolate" but Paula has totally motivated me. I eat Hershey kisses when I create so this is a perfect card for me. I can already check off "eat chocolate" on today's check list (and it's only 10 am)! :) How about you??</div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395335779573465110.post-62704291294953692902011-03-28T08:26:00.000-07:002011-03-28T08:37:36.849-07:00<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVNc9rf2xTsHWK_4ph4_JOlPQXffpfGMqV664zQt8GUoa2J5cV0fMTXQcCZRfZwymn9cG-xK4QfkLrWnNiPFhL0hlMQ5ZhIkCVxN-yXQHLyAZu0cSjwj9c40NVL1mOmT09Ca-hrBXVwg/s1600/Pansy+card.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 238px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589153103647812338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVNc9rf2xTsHWK_4ph4_JOlPQXffpfGMqV664zQt8GUoa2J5cV0fMTXQcCZRfZwymn9cG-xK4QfkLrWnNiPFhL0hlMQ5ZhIkCVxN-yXQHLyAZu0cSjwj9c40NVL1mOmT09Ca-hrBXVwg/s320/Pansy+card.jpg" /></a> I've been wanting to make these pansies using the butterfly punch for awhile and found some great directions on Carla Bazhenow's website at <a href="http://www.carlas-scraps.com/2010/04/pansy-punch-art-flower-tutorial-and.html">http://www.carlas-scraps.com/2010/04/pansy-punch-art-flower-tutorial-and.html</a> She has lots of great punch art flower tutorials.

I decided we would make Sympathy cards (the month before we made birthday cards) because I like to have some on hand and had run out. These cards were CASE'd (and changed up a bit) from cards posted on Stampin' Connection (a SU! demo site) and I didn't write down who originally created them at the time because I wasn't blogging. Now that I'm posting I'm being good about making notes of where I get my inspiration so I can give credit where credit is due. If these cards look familiar, please let me know who I can credit and I'll be happy to do so!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOnkDB9O4PdxqOgF_s_QORBYroohHtTOoV9uwQOcPVZexCE78PpIXeq_7FJSN7lBZWYWBath1Vx9B5WW3S43KDD9X-H4JPpijqJMmcvE6tHQcFNTQ9WkfU7E0uH99jrU4rUZLCCuP21M/s1600/Sharing+in+Your+Sorrow.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586492492983285090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOnkDB9O4PdxqOgF_s_QORBYroohHtTOoV9uwQOcPVZexCE78PpIXeq_7FJSN7lBZWYWBath1Vx9B5WW3S43KDD9X-H4JPpijqJMmcvE6tHQcFNTQ9WkfU7E0uH99jrU4rUZLCCuP21M/s320/Sharing+in+Your+Sorrow.jpg" /></a><br />I used the Elements of Style and Teeny, Tiny Wishes stamp sets on the first card. The DSP is Blueberry Crisp and the colors are Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake, River Rock and Bashful Blue. The second card uses Thoughts and Prayers and Lovely as a Tree (LOVE that stampset) and the cardstock colors: Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. I pulled out my Stampin' Pastels and we had fun creating our trees. I also used the color spritzer tool and markers to create the splattered look. </div><div> </div><div>The third card uses Thoughts and Prayers and the butterfly from Thanks for Caring (Occasions Mini). I used the Ornament punch and In Color Patterns DSP for the vase and embossed with the Elegant Bouquet textured impressions embossing folder.

If you've never heard of the "one sheet wonder" technique, then you need to come to this class! We'll make 16 cards using just one sheet of the Ice Cream Parlor designer series paper from Sale-A-Bration. The cards are a variety of birthday, thanks and all-occasion. I'll also have a sample of 16 Christmas cards using"one sheet wonder" and the Holly Jolly DSP so you can see how this technique can be used with lots of different papers. Hope to see you on Sunday afternoon or Tuesday night. Email me if you have any questions or if you want to register for class. <br /><div></div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395335779573465110.post-10261508788100874432011-02-22T11:26:00.000-08:002011-04-09T10:43:01.253-07:00Springtime Scrapbook Pages<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCtBdduh3Zdh35lQF6GDihTevDu0VCfCcEaWwWOy1IoKySvcy-iWH1BTOgcTUynxSaZash7Bw2kJWHwlVoz6PlX10y9-deOufEAbf6ZIN9CRgALzHXi4ey_aFeO6xNYkulA6eBhqzN5G4/s1600/Easter+Egg+Hunt+page.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 408px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576971852603373138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCtBdduh3Zdh35lQF6GDihTevDu0VCfCcEaWwWOy1IoKySvcy-iWH1BTOgcTUynxSaZash7Bw2kJWHwlVoz6PlX10y9-deOufEAbf6ZIN9CRgALzHXi4ey_aFeO6xNYkulA6eBhqzN5G4/s400/Easter+Egg+Hunt+page.jpg" /></a> <br /><div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><div>I've been busy creating scrapbook pages!

We'll make 3 cards using 3 different techniques. The first shown is the Shimmered Block technique. Bet you can't guess what I used?? The second technique we'll cover is Twisted Kissing ... doesn't that sound like fun :) And, finally, we'll make a card using the Watercolor Highlighting technique. Won't you join me? <br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xgOsrEKzRXOWicHb1zQ5VKjiFyQ-0zUrr0-TlrgUZZ5DGIemJEgShtFLZT3j334PkHr7K5IGa0GOHjnyftgcvOTlQs1j3_uvVJUDu_AXVpBM2fC2X_qNEY4GE9rC9GiR-_lwWYSIOJY/s1600/Twisted+Kissing+technique.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577011630256753618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xgOsrEKzRXOWicHb1zQ5VKjiFyQ-0zUrr0-TlrgUZZ5DGIemJEgShtFLZT3j334PkHr7K5IGa0GOHjnyftgcvOTlQs1j3_uvVJUDu_AXVpBM2fC2X_qNEY4GE9rC9GiR-_lwWYSIOJY/s320/Twisted+Kissing+technique.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSezB3dFbFrUnoOfaGZcKWopkXnP1wJ7wU9KxJ7K6VhIbDWutmdHOPXVhHGRYjKKKaBoeWb5p7DZg94s3P6HEnHcJllIirQVRbWlhLi8YCWWY38d1HICQChI1Ltex9-5HykrI7fqeE05M/s1600/Watercolor+Highlighting+technique.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577011633005804562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSezB3dFbFrUnoOfaGZcKWopkXnP1wJ7wU9KxJ7K6VhIbDWutmdHOPXVhHGRYjKKKaBoeWb5p7DZg94s3P6HEnHcJllIirQVRbWlhLi8YCWWY38d1HICQChI1Ltex9-5HykrI7fqeE05M/s320/Watercolor+Highlighting+technique.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395335779573465110.post-28004980510162047982011-02-17T21:00:00.000-08:002011-02-18T18:12:16.261-08:00UStamp with Dawn and Friends Oh My Word Scavenger Hunt<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDDVxC3iyv6flNjyOShY1KefbNkoocTGExt4xWguWM_G0y-WfjgBW18EO9hmIjYQ2EOfVeZPntNTedV7iAmGypnMzsZ2sYLZP5sgk1TmSpwOup4YJ4EQrCq_9QgNt07wOG_bliVjiIBE/s1600/Oh+My+Word+banner.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 97px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574809745409091154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDDVxC3iyv6flNjyOShY1KefbNkoocTGExt4xWguWM_G0y-WfjgBW18EO9hmIjYQ2EOfVeZPntNTedV7iAmGypnMzsZ2sYLZP5sgk1TmSpwOup4YJ4EQrCq_9QgNt07wOG_bliVjiIBE/s320/Oh+My+Word+banner.bmp" /></a> As one of the designers for UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! Oh My Word!! 2011, I am participating in a fun designer blog scavenger hunt tonight. I have been assigned a key word that I will add somewhere in this post. You must find my assigned word, then go to the other designers' blogs who are participating in the blog scavenger hunt and find the other key words, unscramble them to create a sentence and email Dawn. The first three people who email Dawn with the correct answer will win a handstamped prize! I hope you are the lucky winner!!<br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQBql22sG1d_tsp6vir5qNNNg08PGbe_AJPt0z3LhofHaxWMwWZYiaxqX7__zv2qJfJd2hhqZYXxT-8w4TxAi4sSmxatOaB-3sL6wHEqhy8S4BxwuHyw92QXrnLXXzVe0RDJxfmMX4zY/s1600/IMG_3205.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574796865756451218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQBql22sG1d_tsp6vir5qNNNg08PGbe_AJPt0z3LhofHaxWMwWZYiaxqX7__zv2qJfJd2hhqZYXxT-8w4TxAi4sSmxatOaB-3sL6wHEqhy8S4BxwuHyw92QXrnLXXzVe0RDJxfmMX4zY/s320/IMG_3205.JPG" /></a> I've created three cards using the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets and DSP. The first card uses the stamp set Punch Bunch, the Ice Cream Parlor DSP and the Pacific Point buttons. I also used Peach Parfait cardstock and ribbon, the scallop square punch and the scallop square clear die for the Big Shot. Wouldn't this be a fun card to send to some "friends" for their birthday!<br /><br /></div><div>The second card uses the SAB sets So Happy for You and Sweet Summer as well as the Ice Cream Parlor DSP from SAB. The cardstock colors are Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point. I had fun coloring the images with my SU! markers. This would make another great card to send to "friends."</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFXqUNssbYFbE2OmXqB9qlVu_-s9wNU1p6sRAeXKCJyoyzkrdj5Wrv_egncP3XIMcMxQPQ5l4noHyCI59KZbd0dLJzpl3mzXmuh5exwMVTxfUrAP-LvOBiz7GP0znG7cGHJInDWhNTlaA/s1600/IMG_3204.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574796862829036322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFXqUNssbYFbE2OmXqB9qlVu_-s9wNU1p6sRAeXKCJyoyzkrdj5Wrv_egncP3XIMcMxQPQ5l4noHyCI59KZbd0dLJzpl3mzXmuh5exwMVTxfUrAP-LvOBiz7GP0znG7cGHJInDWhNTlaA/s320/IMG_3204.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div><br /></div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVikyaFyVZb63jheKkrmB1MsNiDYnioef-9B8Xc-RUboRVOQH1ycNVHS-pf6jFm4YWBvsSjxaOoeiABXHN5A806HVq_01dHEjc6CZ3DSZsUj06o6VhRPq87jhuSDnT5jp-8i6xz_K1AkM/s1600/IMG_3206.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574796857061431906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVikyaFyVZb63jheKkrmB1MsNiDYnioef-9B8Xc-RUboRVOQH1ycNVHS-pf6jFm4YWBvsSjxaOoeiABXHN5A806HVq_01dHEjc6CZ3DSZsUj06o6VhRPq87jhuSDnT5jp-8i6xz_K1AkM/s320/IMG_3206.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrTN40nGrtozrzmsRM7OG7i2yDikWgmxChYoEXgmBFuDds3yEa2QQD00Kel1UikDtO1Al4gvj7hgD0fpXuvCFb_qNsygjKavyP6eF-hlQvg9fCqcjFWsaLZVa1IKGDudzKexL7kbJb3o/s1600/IMG_3207.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574796854013995778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrTN40nGrtozrzmsRM7OG7i2yDikWgmxChYoEXgmBFuDds3yEa2QQD00Kel1UikDtO1Al4gvj7hgD0fpXuvCFb_qNsygjKavyP6eF-hlQvg9fCqcjFWsaLZVa1IKGDudzKexL7kbJb3o/s320/IMG_3207.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHjzDVJrBq5vze8cQwFcHDq7M31B564-wFuEvrLU-gyzX_CJygMx5fXqBs06bbT1fb5pFVgtRwTzc5iRCWmTkFrRiRkYtHc7WkFeqiwD-Nx_l6xhhHn2W0r0He0HVYQEOxsMt1VVVEXI/s1600/IMG_3208.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574796848027723474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHjzDVJrBq5vze8cQwFcHDq7M31B564-wFuEvrLU-gyzX_CJygMx5fXqBs06bbT1fb5pFVgtRwTzc5iRCWmTkFrRiRkYtHc7WkFeqiwD-Nx_l6xhhHn2W0r0He0HVYQEOxsMt1VVVEXI/s320/IMG_3208.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The third card is my favorite.

But it was a challenge to recreate because there are so many details. I especially liked that Teneale used Perfect Plum, a color I rarely go to when creating. It goes beautifully with the Elegant Eggplant card base. This card uses the stamp set Bliss from SAB. It's a gorgeous stamp set!</div><br /><div></div><div>Thanks for visiting my blog, "friends" of UStamp!

My first project (of two) posted today. I made these huge (size of a grapefruit) peony flowers using coffee filters and SU! reinkers and a card and tag, of course. Here are a few pictures of the project. UStamp just started a week ago and there's lots more projects to come.

While this project is from an old UStamp class, you can still join the class and get the pdf if you want to create this. Or if you live in Northern Virginia and want to make these two scrapbook pages, contact me at <a href="mailto:hmd0912@yahoo.com">hmd0912@yahoo.com</a> and we can set up a time for you to come over and play! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzHCsniSHMfNbkU4rjGwRVTkBoTuQCXKzYMwJDuhBqxc7Dh99Z6nK1vktXqE7A7rkCFB4gzauc1B4iTzyPU_9Ank563j1IkxkwHJgn8fmDH-XogHxD8vfLlopJK_qFsQrCFc3FLvTdig/s1600/Purrfect+Friends+with+pictures.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574756638230063826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzHCsniSHMfNbkU4rjGwRVTkBoTuQCXKzYMwJDuhBqxc7Dh99Z6nK1vktXqE7A7rkCFB4gzauc1B4iTzyPU_9Ank563j1IkxkwHJgn8fmDH-XogHxD8vfLlopJK_qFsQrCFc3FLvTdig/s400/Purrfect+Friends+with+pictures.jpg" /></a> <br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSqGHDeErL8yXSF0MQb09wDjXewNqZYN_ei_tMusTl55JREEQc2Z5XRTqxN825MSy0nAO68qUUklJ8RTDE9WyAgE66X9weA6J8UXBHprbY3QzaNUw67AuiajRIUz-9na3M4PufSs2ZrQs/s1600/Purrfect+Friends+with+pictures.jpg"></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395335779573465110.post-62913608595314532032011-02-16T18:41:00.000-08:002011-02-16T19:24:37.913-08:00Stamp Club Cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImijcoEvBib0vjbGA94Z6gm7hdIqpRc28bs94b_SGbs0dT-HVkvLOGG9pIof2dCRVSamPA6qLsSyFJxWyZUlVLGKu9KxN-fktdNKrbmWN-MKo2vKW-efZO4eY3ovAWHujebgTMnX0-u4/s1600/IMG_3168.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574493970194868450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImijcoEvBib0vjbGA94Z6gm7hdIqpRc28bs94b_SGbs0dT-HVkvLOGG9pIof2dCRVSamPA6qLsSyFJxWyZUlVLGKu9KxN-fktdNKrbmWN-MKo2vKW-efZO4eY3ovAWHujebgTMnX0-u4/s320/IMG_3168.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div>We made these three birthday cards at my Vienna stamp club on Friday night.<br /><br />Supplies:<br /><em>Stamps: </em>Take a Spin (Occasions Mini)<br /><em>Cardstock:</em> Bashful Blue; Pacific Point; Real Red; Pear Pizzazz; Whisper White<br /><em>DSP: </em>Celebrations<br /><em>Inks:</em> Pacific Point<br /><em>Accessories:</em> Big Shot; Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder; Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die; 1/2" Circle Punch; Game Spinner Hands; Stampin' Dimensionals<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574484239108099986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO4OBYVLBfmjY-gC4xLQQkpxcWGd-BgFyjWdMzhj_wFnetDMdaDg2otMybuNzfYDx0C9AyPKOZUXNkZsTZurKcajU2VRAaiX00WPy3fcnNafGRDaY-6c8I_Q7VF0l5N5EZaCq9dtp19FM/s320/IMG_3172.JPG" /> Supplies:<br /><p><em>Stamps: </em>Punch Bunch (Sale-A-Bration)</p><p><em>Cardstock:</em> Old Olive; Peach Parfait; Whisper White</p><p><em>DSP: </em>Ice Cream Parlor (Sale-A-Bration)</p><p><em>Markers:</em> Old Olive; Peach Parfait; Melon Mambo</p><p><em>Accessories:</em> 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch; 1 3/8" Circle Punch; Big Shot; Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder; Pear Pizzazz 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon; Stampin' Dimensionals<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8LCzeJoh8-dAUEcHu7JlLFW1elz-z_yMzmh5Gr1Qf7QFQTq3GsnH_lE3q39BqfChZtPQ9q1Br83iTWpIEciiVePTGNxdivUUpOfVNkm-lWqcvTAKG4A4bHJW8mk70v29Fokad5msPqY/s1600/IMG_3170.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574483601355251106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8LCzeJoh8-dAUEcHu7JlLFW1elz-z_yMzmh5Gr1Qf7QFQTq3GsnH_lE3q39BqfChZtPQ9q1Br83iTWpIEciiVePTGNxdivUUpOfVNkm-lWqcvTAKG4A4bHJW8mk70v29Fokad5msPqY/s320/IMG_3170.JPG" /></a>Supplies:<br /><br /><em>Stamps</em>: Easter Blossoms & Bring on the Cake (Occasions Mini)<br /><br /><em>Cardstock</em>: Pretty in Pink; Basic Black; Whisper White<br /><br /><em>Inks:</em> Basic Black<br /><br /><em>Accessories:</em> 2" x 1 3/8" (Wide) Oval Punch; Big Shot; Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder; Basic Pearls; uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen; Stampin' Dimensionals</div></div></div>Heather Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09395707927653230747noreply@blogger.com1
