StampinUP Baby Bear Stamp Set is Super Cute!!
We made this card in class awhile back & the gals thought this bear was super cute. :)
If they did not need a baby card, it was easy to switch it up for a different occasion.
I had blue, pink, or yellow designer paper to pick from too so that was a fun way to adapt the colors.
The"Baby Bear" stamp set is shown on page 61 in the annual catalog.
The bear images come in 3 different steps to "build-a-bear" so to speak.
Don't panic though, because the stamps are marked in the case which order to stamp them in.
More detail comes to life with each stamping......SO FUN!!
If you would like to order your "Baby Bear" Stamp Set or any other StampinUP Product, please click on the "Shop Now" button above. My on-line store is always open!! (smile)
Thanks very much for blogging with me and I hope you come back tomorrow......Lori

More Thoughtful Branches Stampin' Projects!
All 4 of these cards were on display in Champaign, IL (artists unknown)
I went there in July for an event called "Vacation Stamping School"
Kim Peck of California has a great downline group that still lives in IL fairly close to me.
They are fabulous about sharing their ideas, and have welcomed me more than once to their meetings and demonstrator events like the most recent one. It was a fun time!!
Thanks very much for being a blog follower of Lori's Stampin' Creations.

Confetti Celebration by StampinUP Makes an "Easy Peasy" Class Project
This card was featured in a recent class in Morton, IL
I used the stamp set called "Confetti Celebration" & some beautiful Gold Glimmer Paper.
Color Scheme: Sahara Sand, White, Melon Mambo
The dotted background paper is retired StampinUP but you could easily replace with a current Designer Series Paper that you have on hand!! :)
My class attendees really enjoyed the simplicity of this card, yet the word "cute" was also mentioned by more than one lady. (that always makes my day) You could mass produce this Birthday Card in no time flat.
Thank you for stopping by. Please consider leaving a comment & let me know what you thought of my blogpost today. I welcome suggestions and feedback from YOU, my blog viewers! Lori Helvick

Fresh Fruit is Good for You! Check out the StampinUP Variety......
Very cute cards in a case on display in Champaign.
Simple designs that you could make several of for a gift card case.
This is the front of the case that holds the above cards.
A "Wide Stamp Case" sold on page 183 was used here.
The "Sliding Star Framelits" made the track on this card so the top flower can move around!
The "Fresh Fruit" Stamp Set was used along with the "Fruit Stand" Designer Series Paper
A clever woven basket look was done for the front
Again, Fresh Fruit and Fruit Stand DSP from StampinUP were used.
If you have questions on any of these projects from displays in Champaign IL, just ask.
I'm sorry I can't give the designers credit for their work because I have no idea who made them all.
Thank you for stopping by and please take a moment to say hello in the comment section here or send me at email at: stampinfool2006@yahoo.com Lori Helvick

Wetlands Stamp Set by StampinUP Makes A Great Masculine Birthday Card
This card was made by Sue Scheets
(demo in Jacksonville, IL area)
Sue used the very popular masculine set called "Wetlands"
I thought I would tie todays' card post in with some pics from my recent Florida vacation.
We definitely were by water all the time (pool or ocean) & saw some very interesting feathered creatures.
Speaking of interesting creatures.......my great nephews (brothers Liam & Jack). LOL No feathers here!!
Jack, Liam, and their Mom Audra (my neice)
My sister and I are pretty much "landlubbers" so we did a lot of observing from the sidelines!!
Very relaxing, and my kind of a vacation :)
Liam getting out of the pool and notice the ducks (or whatever they are) on the other side.
These are not statues and definitely a live feathered family!
Birds of all kinds stayed at the resort with us, and this Mom plus babies just made themselves at home by the pool that day. Nobody bothers them- and when they are done at this pool they just go to one of the others!
Thank you for stopping by today. If you have a question about Sue's card above, please let me know.
Until the next time........HAPPY STAMPING! Lori
