Sending Wishes Your Way

Today's share is a birthday card that I made for a special lady who's turning 80 soon. I kept the design very simple and used some of my favorite colors and my new favorite stamp set (thank you for letting me borrow this, Kathy!)

Alas, though, this card features more RETIRING supplies that I'm so sad to see leave: the 2013-2015 In Colors and the Painted Petals stamp set. All of these supplies are available through May 31 (or while supplies last) through my online store:www.sherrithompson.stampinup.net.

Spring Notecards

Just a quick share today to show a set of blank note cards that I made last night. I rarely make cards without sentiments, but they are a great for keeping in touch with friends or stamping a quick sentiment inside without having to re-think your card design. Sadly, this pretty little doily stamp is soon to be retired as part of the Petal Potpourri stamp set.  You can still get yours through May 31 (or while supplies last) by visiting my Stampin' Up online store at www.sherrithompson.stampinup.net. 

Don't you just LOVE that butterfly stamp?  It is from Nature's Perfection, one of the exclusive Sale-a-Bration stamp sets that was available only as a reward during the 2015 SAB promotion. Even though this is not available for purchase, it is available for you to use if you attend my monthly ShareCrops!  These are open crop times, where you are free to create any project using my stamps, inks, punches, and dies.  My next ShareCrop is scheduled for Sunday, May 31 from 1:00-3:00. The fee for ShareCrops is $10, and includes a $10 credit to be used that day. That's also the last day to order all of your favorite retiring supplies!

Spring Birthday Card

Today's share is a card that we made in my recent Mother's Day card workshop. It uses some of my favorite retiring products. While I'm very excited about the new products coming out, it makes me sad to see such pretty stamps and papers retiring!  The upside is that there are some amazing sales on retiring products right now.

A Change in Direction...

I've been MIA here on the blog for a long time. I miss it. I miss sharing my projects and "talking" to my crafty friends. I miss visiting your blogs and commenting on everyone's pretty things. I've been "lurking", but not showing my appreciation for everything you share. My blog and I need a crafty re-boot!

It's hard to jump back in. I felt like I was in a stamping rut. I couldn't be creative, and everything took SO LONG to make, because I was feeling overwhelmed with supplies. I *might* have a few. Hee hee.  

So I'm focusing my crafty attention on supplies that make it super easy to be efficient AND creative.  Enter Stampin' Up!, a company that makes it easy to do that by offering "no-brainer" coordinating. I became a demonstrator for the discount, and I sometimes offer workshops or make-and-takes. However, what I love most is that I can create without spending forever trying to choose stamps, coordinate products, or designing a layout. 

Now for the sharing-my favorite part!  This card is one that I made "just because".  I needed some thank you cards and I had just received this new stamp set as a reward. Love that all of the coordinating was done for me, and I was able to mix-and-match patterns so effortlessly!
