Card: Swirly Birds Father's Day Sail

Hello!

This card is my CASE of a card from Pinterest by Kathleen Wingerson.  I made it for my Step Son for Father's Day.

I have fallen in love with the Swirly Bird Bundle!  
You can do so much with it!

This card looks fantastic with it's nautical combination of the new Dapper Denim paired with Real Red and Daffodil Delight.  I also added a bit of Tempting Turquoise.

All of the stamping and die cutting is from Swirly Birds Bundle - with the exception of the flying sea birds, they are from the (retired) stamp set Up, Up and Away.  Kathleen had used the cloud stamp from Sprinkles of Life but I don't have it so I had use something else to fill in the white space :)

You will find the Swirly Bird bundle on page 152 of the new Annual Catalog.
Order your own Swirly Bird Bundle ( at 10% Off the price if ordered separately ) Here!

Card: Flourish Thinlits Dies For The Holidays!

Have you ever gotten a crafting idea in your head that you couldn't wait to try?

Well, yesterday, as I was playing with my brand-spanking new ( yes, my very first order from the NEW 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! Catalog arrived!!! -SQUEAL! ) Flourish Thinlits Dies, I had this thought...

I wonder if I could make Poinsettias with these?


And there ya go!
This layout was born from another card ( which I will be sharing later ) and some ideas I gathered from the catalog itself.  

I just Love how this turned out!
I got so excited, I just had to pop in and show it to you!!!

You can find the Flourish Thinlits Dies on page 194 of the new catalog 
( along with a bunch of other new and exciting dies! ).

These particular dies coordinate with the 
Flourishing Phrases stamp set on page 49.
Purchase them together and you can save 10%!!!!

You can see the dies here 

and the bundles here!








The stamps come in wood mount and clear mount so be sure to read the description carefully when you make your selection!

Best news?  You earn SandDollar Rewards with each incremental $25 (retail) you purchase from me so, you earn rewards when you purchase the dies separately and double the rewards when you purchase the bundle!  Either way it's a win because these dies are incredible and are on Mary's Must Have's List!!!

Happy Stamping!
Mary

Introducing the Swirly Bird Bundle!

Introducing the NEW Swirly Bird stamp set and coordinating dies!  









At first glance, I admit that this stamp set did not appeal to me.  I knew the dies were a "must have!" but I wasn't convinced about the stamp set.  









Well, after the ideas started flowing from fellow Demonstrators, I changed my mind! 


I hope you enjoy my Cards!  
Order your own Swirly Bird Bundle ( at 10% Off the price if ordered separately ) Here!

Happy Stamping!

Card Set: Have a Cuppa with a Friend

Hello!

Today I have a fabulous set of notecards to share with you, all packaged up nicely in their own coordinating folder.

The original design for this set came from fellow Demonstrator Caroline Wright.
You can see her original set, using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set here.



I know it's odd that I created a set of cards, that feature drinking Hot Chocolate, now that Spring is here :)  But, my family in New England is looking at a possible 15" of SNOW this weekend so... maybe it's not so odd :)

I just love the Cups & Kettles Framelits Dies!  I actually bought it for the little fork, knife, and spoon :)  They were too cute to pass up :)  But now that I have the set, I just love the whole thing!

My note cards are inspired by cards by fellow Demonstrator, Patty Bennett. 

I hope you have enjoyed my little set.
Stay tuned because I'm going to be showing off another set I recently created, this time using the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  


I'm going to be offering one of these Note Card sets as a Class To Go soon.  
You won't want to miss it!

You can purchase all of the supplies to create this project in my Online Store.  
I've listed them below.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!  

Happy Stamping! 
Mary
