I love my BLUE RIBBON stamp set from Stampin' Up!..
you can make a card for so many different occasions with this set. Here are a couple cards we made with it in one of my May Stamp Classes.
Left: Rich Razzleberry Right: Island Indigo
Blue Ribbon set, pg 17, #131964 (wood) or #125981 (clear)
PATTY'S STAMPIN' TIP: Stamp this image mulitple times and punch each layer out, then adhere to your card with Stampin' Dimensionals. And, cut flags out of Designer Paper to add a little 3-d Flair!
or, see THIS POST for a tip on punching out the scallop with the tails on it
If you have your NEW Stampin' Up! Catalog from me, you've probably noticed the gorgeous new IN COLORS on pg 140! They are all fab!! One of my favorites this year is
CRISP CANTALOUPE!
Don't you love it in combo with Pool Party and Pear Pizzazz?
I added accents of Calypso Coral with the die cut flower, ribbon and stamped greeting.

Embossing this card with the hexagon (honeycomb) embossing folder and the Big Shot really makes this card fun!
I included the Daffodil Delight card below as part of my recent classes, after seeing it on Wendy Weixler's blog last month... toooooooo cute! Then I changed it up and added the Crisp Cantaloupe and changed the Lucky Limeade to Pear Pizzazz.
I LOVE Stampin' Up! Rhinestones and I LOVE these new Jumbo Rhinestones in the Spring catalog! (see them on pg 8, top-left of the page) or HERE online #129324. You will get 40 in a pack for only $4.95!!
Such happiness for under $5! (or GET THEM FREE - today is the last day!)

I love this Best of Flowers Collector Series set... and I LOVE that you can stamp and then punch out this flower with the 1-1/4"scallop Circle punch!! (pg 35 Spring catalog, or HERE online, #127811)
Stampin' Up! Supplies
you'll want to order for this quick and cute card:
I was so excited to see this gorgeous card idea from Connie Babbert online a week or so ago, and I immediately decided we needed to make this card in my stamp class on Saturday!
Two things that really set these cards apart from your average card are the paper piercing and the pearls
BIG SHOT TIP:
When you are die cutting your Apothecary Accents label, you can die cut the oval out of the center at the same time!
Then use the little pieces from the side of your Stampin' Dimensionals sheet to place on the diecut before adding it to your card:
In our stamp class, PJ and Mary both created the most amazing versions of this card.. check out their lovely handiwork!

I am delighted and excited to share this adorable punch art card that we made in my recent Stampin' Up! card class!
card idea inspired by Katie Resop
How to make the burger and chips:
Sponge Soft Suede ink on the ovals for the burger buns, and although I didn't do it for this photo, I found that if you sponge a bit of ink on the chips they look REALLY real!
This fun background paper that reminds me of a picnic is from the Pinwheels on Parade Simply Scrappin' Kit, pg 168 in the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog, #126929
After sharing these cards with some of my customers, Sue and Aileen shared this photo of them with me after they made their cards.. it brought such a smile to my face all weekend!! :)

How to make Black Glimmer Paper!!
FYI: I added about 6 or 8 drops of reinker into the nearly full spritzer filled with 70% rubbing alcohol (don't use 90%). You can experiement with more or less drops of reinker depending on how bold or soft you want your color.
Below: Pink dress.. use Regal Rose reinker in your spritzer on Silver Glimmer paper
Below: Silver Glimmer dress... cut 3 of the same dress and layer them to make a long dress
Gold/Champagne Glimmer dress: cut the straps off the sundress for a dramatic cocktail dress!
