Scenic Graduation

May is a busy time of year!  Independence Uptown Market starts this Saturday May 2nd.  8-1pm.  I’ll have lots of Graduation and Mothers Day cards to choose from this week.  I will NOT be at Market Saturday May 9th so be sure to stop by May 2nd!!!  Jennifer will be in my spot May 9th selling her hand made crafts.



Today I made some Graduation cards with this gorgeous Scenic Coast designer paper.  One side is a variety of shimmering sky lines.  The back side a matching pattern.  Hydrangea Hue and Highland Heather card bases.


The new Catalog and Online Exclusives launch May 5th.

Mothers Day and more…,,

 Independence Uptown Market is this Saturday May 10th.  I have been busy in my backyard and had to drop everything and make some new cards!  Paper Pumpkin to the rescue!  I grabbed this kit and made 10 cards without the instruction page.  Not sure what it is under but it is MIA!  This is why I love Paper Pumpkin!  You can do it your way!

Get your cards this week!  I will not be at the Market 5/17!

Blog update!


Seed cards make a great surprise in the mail!  All it takes is a regular stamp!!


Www.kathyswanson.stampinup.net 

Well it appears my 2017 HP computer is no longer compatible with Blogger?  Tech can be so frustrating and doing this on my phone is hard on these old eyes!  Can I figure out how to add a photo, a link, time will tell.  Be patient while I figure this out!

My next event is this Saturday 5/10 8am-1pm.  Independence Uptown Market.  Come shop local and check out all the beautiful bedding plants outside!  I’m inside at the west end of the Building.  

Woo Hoo it’s not pretty but I did it!!!

Shop 24/7 at my link above, I figured out how to add but it went to the top?

Country Flower Dies....

 Today I used the Dies from the Country Flowers Dies....they are awesome and the "little flowers" are a hidden gem!!  I used a Pecan Pie card base with a Neutral Designer paper background.  Cut the low Table and Flowers with the Dies.  Stamped and colored the Flowers and Bucket on White cardstock.


You get several flower dies so you can cut them out in every color and have ready for your projects!  I may add some rhinestones to the little flowers for some bling before I package this card for the Market.  

Come out to the Independence Uptown Market this Saturday for all your Mother's Day and Graduation cards!

Mother's Day at the Market

 I will be at the Independence Uptown Market today from 8AM-1PM.  I will have lots of Cards and Gifts for Mother's Day!  I used the NEW INcolor Designer paper for these 2 cards.  Subtle Patterns create a beautiful background.  Fresh Freesia Tulips and Old Olive leaves.



White card base with a Tear and Turn layout showing 2 of the paper patterns.  A 3/4 X 4 strip of Fresh Freesia card stock to cover the Tear.  


I stamped the stems on Old Olive and cut with my paper snips.  The Punch is perfect for the Large Tulip and Leaf.


2 more Paper patters!!  Love this plaid with tone on tone pinks.  This Polished Pink Tulip pops off the page!
