Morning Meadow Birthday Card

This is another swap that I made for convention using the hostess set, Morning Meadow.  Did you notice that the flower coordinates with the Pansy punch?  Yes!!  And the pretty filigree label stamp coordinates not only coordinates with the oval framelits but also one of the Apothecary Accents framelits too!

Happiness is…

Although I didn’t get to attend the Stampin’ Up! convention this year, I was grateful for all the demonstrators who posted lots of great photos of projects, boards, swaps and all the other fun samples at convention.  One of the pictures showed a project that Shelli, the CEO of the company, had created with the…

Cottage Bird Thank You Card

Then I wrapped some soft suede specialty designer series paper around the tin. I added a dusty durango scallop behind the belly…
