June Product of the Month

 I have been making LOTS of NEW cards for the Independence Uptown Market.  My June Product of the Month stamps came and I had to get out the Blends and Color some Critters.  The Wild Bunch stamp set is the cutest!  And you can get it for $5 with a $75 minimum order!



First up the Snail!  This Birthday card has been laying unfinished on my desk for months! All it needed was a SNAIL!  And the Baby Snail Die cut is from the Sweet Bugs Bundle.  I see lots of Sweet Snail cards with these 2 Stamp sets.  


I used lots of Retired Designer paper and mixed a few NEW papers in.  Retired stamps NEVER go bad, so pull them out and combine with NEW to give New life to your projects!  Let the Designer paper lead your color combos and GO!!


I added some fussy cut Presents to this card.  Lots of options with this Wild Bunch!


And my last Snail for now.....a little pastel number.  These cards will be on the Rack at Independence Uptown Market this Saturday 8-1pm.  Come shop local!

Thank You cards.....

 I am putting these cards in the mail tomorrow to my Customers who placed orders in May.  I used Violet Dreams Specialty Designer paper and the 2026-2028 IN Color Gingham paper on these cards.  These items will be available for you to order in July.  The July Online Exclusives are amazing and Samples of MORE items will be included in these Thank You Cards!


The Peaceful Pine card base accents the colors in BOTH Designer papers.  I LOVE this new IN color and with Highland Heather.....the cards make themselves!! Peaceful Pine is also in a Holiday paper coming in July.  Think Cardinals, Trees and Quilt Blocks.....

Soccer Coasters and Chickens!

I will NOT be at the market 6/6 or 6/13.   Comment if you need anything and we can meet up.  My Dog is reacting to some meds, so leaving her home alone is not an option.  


I was inspired to create some KC Current Coasters and a few Chickens!  I love how these KC Current coasters came out!  


Chickens.....Not lots of coloring.....but I did add some dirt scratching to a few...


A couple more Birthday Cats and a Motorcycle for Dad.

More Soccer cards.....

 I am giddy!  I can BLOG on my computer and add pictures!  This makes me so HAPPY!

And today I have MORE Soccer cards!  I colored the Designer paper with Blends in the KC Current colors.  SO many options with this Match Day Bundle and matching Designer paper.  



This Blue and White uniform belongs to Argentina!  SO easy to color with Blends!  Fans are already following this Team.  I'll be watching to see what the are wearing at Practice!!  Haha!


And finally just some printed paper on Shaded Spruce card stock and a sentiment..... and a divot of grass.   Great Scrapbook pages could be made with this Designer paper!

Soccer cards…and the glitch may be fixed....update!!

What the heck?  I am on my computer and NOW I can load photos! 


Loving everything about this Match Day stamps, dies and paper!  I posted earlier on Facebook and finally seem to have access to photos again on my laptop!


With the World Cup in the KC area these next few weeks and 2 Soccer stadiums in KC there has to be some local folks that will appreciate a Soccer card!


Soccer Jerseys come is many color options.  I googled and was amazed at the different shirts and not a "set" uniform like other sports. So here I did a KC Current like shirt and WHO wears the Orange?  The Netherlands! 


Let’s try an experiment….i posted on Facebook and copied the link to Blogger?  Does the link work?  I know it’s not pretty but ……let me know.

These cards will be on the rack Saturday 8-1pm at Independence Uptown Market.
