This card just screams FUN! Using the Pinwheel Sizzlets S Die #129411 in the Spring Catalog, the In Color Patterned Paper Stack (2011-2013) #122384 and some 1/8" mini brads #122941. It's not only fun to look it, it's a toy too lol! Designed by Christine Pierce.

NOTE: The 2011-13 In Colors are on "retiring" however with the new color family changes (click here for details) it turns out we only have to say goodbye to Lucky Limeade. Everyone else is coming back to stay...yeah! Some of the accessories in these colors are going for good, while supplies last.

This is a very classic and elegant note card featuring the Just Believe stamp set. I received this beauty from Sherrill Graff.

These super cute "3-D" Cherries are created from the 3/4" Circle punch (scored in 1/2). the black and real red combo is striking, and together the card really "pops". Designed by Lori Heiling.

This beautiful card was created with the Forever Young stamp set. The name of this set just makes me want to break out in the Rod Stewart song by the same name. The silhouette image of the tree with the little girl swinging from a branch has always appealed to me. It just makes me smile. In my mind I see her swinging while the songs plays on.

On this card, the image is embossed with black embossing powder to really make it stand out. Then a light spritzing with the Color Spritzer and black marker for the "splattered" background on the main layer. Designed by Patty Chenail.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today's card offers some fun with the Color Spritzer Tool #107066. This is what gives the "splatter" effect which is so cool, and it offers a "vintage" look on this card. It's very hard to see in the pictures, but this card is also spritzed with the White Shimmer mist and rubbing Alcohol mix that makes it shimmer, it's subtle and very pretty. Designed by Krista Frattin.

Isn't this card gorgeous? The soft colors are a beautiful combination. Created with the Postage Due stamp set. Designed by Connie Stewart. It's Friday here in the states, but it actually Saturday already in Fiji. We are leaving today and heading over to New Zealand. for a week! So exciting. Hello to all of you Kiwis out there, I'm coming over to play!!

This party invitation card uses the Dress Form base for it's shape, I LOVE it! This was a "special" invitation I received earlier this year for a Stampin' Up! Advisory Board Alumni luncheon. I love that they used the "Make a Wish" stamp set in this card, it reminds me of several wishes that have come true....1 of these was serving on the 2007 Advisory Board for the company!

Another wish, or dream come true, was going to Fiji with Stampin' Up! Today is my last day in Fiji, I'll be heading on to New Zealand tomorrow. I will be posting updates as I can on my Facebook Page.

Continuing on a beach theme, this card comes from the By the Sea stamp set. The background incorporates some sponging and then is sprayed with shimmer mist to make it sparkle. This shimmer mist doesn't come out well in the photo. You can see a video tutorial on how to make Shimmer Mist using our Champagne Shimmer paint here >.

The shells and starfish are embossed with Espresso emboss powder.
