I participated in a Masculine card swap and I immediately thought of beer (I don't drink it but my boys love it).  I also wanted to use retiring stamps (the Mixed Drinks) and new ones (Bubble Over).  Right now you can get the Bubble Over Bundle and save 10%.  Once the Occasions catalog ends, you won't be able to purchase them as a bundle so that savings goes away.

The Mixed Drinks stamp set is guaranteed to be available until mid-May so if you are interested in it, you should make your purchase before it goes away!

All the details and printable instructions are available here.  If I had thought about it, I would have used raindrops as the beer pouring into the glass rather than the circles.  Oh, well!

Paper Pumpkin is available at 50% off your first two months if you subscribe before May 10.  Use promo code SAVEFIFTY0418 when you subscribe.

As a subscriber, you are eligible to purchase past kits, if available.  Some are sold as refill kits which do NOT have the stamp set or ink spot in them.  BUT I purchase 2 kits each month so have some extras.  If you purchase a refill kit and need the stamp set, contact me and I'll help if I can.

Use the host code HY7EQVS3 if you place an order that is below $150 and I will enter you to win host prizes from me. This month I am gifting one of the new In Color stamp pads (Grapefruit Grove) and perhaps more.  I do have some Sale-a-Bration stamp sets to give out as well.

I participated in a Masculine Card swap and wanted to use the Bubble Over and Mixed Drinks stamp sets. It's easy to combine the new with the old sets!

Series of cards using Picture Perfect Party DSP

Do you send out birthday cards?  Want a way to make a bunch quick and easy?  Well, the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper makes it super easy!  This paper was featured in the Occasions catalog and is currently retiring.  I made 7 cards in just a flash and didn't come close to using all the paper.  There are several designs I didn't use (although I have plans to make even more!).   This is some really beautiful paper with 48 6 x 6 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided paper.  One side has photographic images, and the other has graphic images.  This paper makes it sooo easy to create quick and easy cards!  You can cut it up and make as many as 4 cards from one single sheet or simply cover a card front and use the scraps on another card!

Here are the individual cards:

Some of these cards were the ones we made at my class this past weekend.  We can all use some quick and easy cards when free time is so hard to come by.  

I'm not including instructions as I think they are pretty self-explanatory but if you have any questions, just ask!

Happy Stamping!

This is the 4th in my series of OnStage Atlanta swap cards that I made.  This card uses the Floral Statements stamp set.

I wanted a rose that mimicked a rose that grows in my garden--yellow with pinkish, coral accents.  Using my Blends I was able to duplicate that look!  The embossing folder makes a 3-D look and is gorgeous!

All the details and printable instructions are available here

This is the third in my series of OnStage Atlanta swaps.  This card features the Eastern Palace Suite--stamps, dies, and designer paper.  The Eastern Beauty bundle of the stamps and dies will be available only until the end of May.  After that time, they will be available individually in the new catalog.

I also created a couple of alternatives for my own stash--very similar but not quite the same.

All the details and printable instructions are available here

Here are the first two cards in the series, in case you missed them.  Just click on the photo to go to that post:

Just a reminder--Many of the items on the Retiring List and the Clearance Rack are either sold out or in very limited supply.  If you are interested in any of these things, you need to place your order now.  I don't want any of you to be disappointed if the items that you want are no longer available.

If you place an order that is below $150, please use my April Host Code HY7EQVS3 and you will be entered into my monthly drawing for gifts from me.  This month I am gifting a new ink pad, Grapefruit Grove, one of the new In Colors.

Happy Stamping!
