Spring is in the Air!!

As promised, here are a couple of the cards we made at my last card class. Yes, I wanted to emphasize Spring in the designs (e.g., weddings, flowers, butterflies). Don't you just love the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die used in my wedding card!! This is a Stampin' Up exclusive die -- which is to die for (no pun intended). I heated my Basic Gray Taffeta ribbon to give it some curl (not too much now, or it will melt on you!!). This card layout came from my wonderful SU sideline Melissa Roberts.



This was another one of my favorites using new colors (for me) and my new Petal Pizzazz stamp set. I just loved using all these beautiful colors together with SU's new Eyelet Border punch. Doesn't it just make you think of Spring? I got this layout idea from our very own Ronda Wade (Queen of the RubberQueens!!). I just love calling her that because to me she is a Queen. Next to Shelli (Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up), Ronda is the best of the best of all Uplines and as a person. What name can we give Shelli (Ronda already has the Queen title)? What is higher than a Queen??? - Queen Mother??? I need a name for Shelli. As Ronda would say: "We need a contest." Okay my friends, I am officially accepting suggestions (prize will be determined later).
