April Hostess Gift
My April Hostesses received this adorable Pizza box card set. I featured the retiring Fruit Basket set and punches. Each piece featured a coordinating DSP and then one of the fruits in the set - along with a sentiment that matched. I've got to say - this is why I LOVE Stampin' Up! products - everything coordinates so beautifully. The box is tied on the side to allow it to be opened and then tied shut again.
But, alas, this set, punches and DSP will all be retired as supplies are exhausted - or when the new Annual catalog goes live June - whichever comes first. So get them while you can! We make a great pear - so stinkin' cute, and I adore that little heart!
Hello Friend is perfect for this little card - as the pineapple is the symbol of friendship and hospitality.
The oranges are actually punched out of the DSP I used as I wanted them to really pop! But there are also little orange wedges in the set that could be used to make a similar card.
And here is the complete set. Once the mini cards are used - the box can easily be reused to put a gift card in - as they fit perfectly. I just love these little mini pizza boxes and am so happy they carried over into the new Annual Catalog that begins in June.
Speaking of the Annual Catalog - here it is!

Petal Pallette Paper goodbye!
Hi All - just sharing this amazing Petal Passion Designer Series paper today - before it goes away. It is absolutely one of my all time favorites, and I am so sad Stampin' Up! is retiring it. But - they are bringing the coordinating Petal Pallette stamp set back - so I am happy about that. Below is the DSP and it is available while supplies last ONLY! Click on the image to go right to my website where you can shop and purchase online.
You can see the DSP above is all shades of black/gray/white - but....here's what happens if you combine the paper with a little color -
I used our blends to make this coordinated set of my coffee mug, cell phone cover and a notebook that I carry in my purse. It got a lot of attention at OnStage - and I was even asked by a Barista at Starbucks if I knew where she could buy one lol!
The mug above is an oldy but a goodie! Starbucks used to sell these and you can unscrew the bottom and put in a piece of paper of your choice. I actually purchased 3 of them before they were discontinued - and I LOVE them.
Above is my notebook/pen case - made with one of Stampin' Up!s empty stamp cases - it also has a place to slip in a piece of paper of your choice to decorate it. These are available empty for purchase.
And finally - my phone case. It is just a clear case; I cut the DSP to fit, and punched a couple circles side by side for the camera lens. So - as I mentioned - you do not want to miss out on this paper while it is still around - and get coloring!!! ~Maureen

SAB - such a great bundle!
Finally sharing this beauty I made with the Basket and Emboss Folder bundle that was available in Sale-a-bration. The basket is gone now, but I am so glad the Emboss Folder is continuing on in our new upcoming Annual Catalog. It is a Dynamic folder and make such a deep nice impression.
My flowers waterclolored using an aqua painter and the ink on the inside of the lid of the stamp pads. And I fussy cut and popped up the little butterfly from the set.
Below you can see how I finished the inside of the card.
The pretty shimmery ribbon was also a freebie during Sale-a-bration and coordinated just beautifully.
Hope you like the inspiration - stop back soon for more. ~Maureen

March Hostess gifts
My March Hostesses received this adorable Pizza box card set. I featured the beautiful Foil DSP that was available during Sale-a-bration. Each piece was colored with markers which really made the design on the paper pop. The foil worked as a resist to the markers.
The box was filled with four little 3x3" cards and envelopes - each featuring an image from the Good Day set and punched with our little scallop punch - then layered on a coordinating circle of color.
The sentiments and pictures in this stamp set are just adorable.
And all of these colors felt so SPRINGY to me - wishing for those warm spring temps.
The neat thing about these boxes is that they can be reused with a gift card inside - or maybe some little treats.
I'll be sharing the ones I made for my April Hostesses soon -as I try to catch up on my blogging lol! ~Maureen

Adorable Christmas Card
Again - can't believe I did not get this posted! I do Christmas card classes all year long - my next is May 10 in the afternoon - contact me if you are interested in attending. This was a card from a fall class though - just found it as I was going through all my pictures for blogging. I love it - with that cute peek-a-boo window and the reindeer peeking through! This set is retiring this month - so be sure to order it if you love as much as I do!
Here's what it looks like from the inside! The little bow is from the Santa's Sleigh set that is also retiring.
Also note, the cute little border around the sentiment. That is made by cutting the punched Cherry Cobbler piece in half horizontally, and adhering to the punched sentiment behind on the top and bottom. Really makes it pop! Note the DSP, Be Merry, is also retiring!
Stop back soon! ~Maureen
