A big From the Heart Stampers welcome to Judy Valentine from Westminster, Maryland, who joined our Stampin' Up! team this month!  Judy is already an avid stamper and brings over 6 years of experience to our team.  It's wonderful to have such a creative lady be a part of our Stampin' Up! family.  I created this card especially to welcome Judy.  I used a card base of Baja Breeze and paired it with Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade.  The main image is the Stampin' Up! Statement of the Heart and the Eyelet Border Punch adds some nice interest to the bottom of the Poppy Parade border.  I decorated with some flowers from Eastern Blooms in Poppy Parade with Daffodil Delight accents.  A sliver of Chocolate Chip card stock acts as "thread" through the button from Brights Designer Buttons, and I've added a brad from the Brights Brads as well, then popped up the smaller flower with Dimensionals and curled the petals of the larger flower using a Bone Folder.

I'm congratulating Ruth Petrovich yet again!  She's recruited her fourth team member since joining my Stampin' Up! team of demonstrators at the end of February!  Way to go, Ruth!  Ruth's special card has lots of brand new products!  I started with a card base of a new Subtles Collection core color Marina Mist.  A piece of Poppy Parade Designer Paper comes from the Level 1 Hostess Designer Series Paper Pack that you can earn free with the purchase or workshop total of $150.  That's backed with some Daffodil Delight card stock.  Next comes a piece of Daffodil Delight 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon with a Marina Mist button found in the Subtles Designer Buttons pack.  I cut just a sliver of Poppy Pizzazz card stock to act as "thread" through the button.  The main image is from Eastern Blooms stamp set.  I used Poppy Pizzazz and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Markers to color the image directly on the rubber then added Daffodil Delight Brads from the Brights Brads pack using a Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool after backing it with Poppy Parade card stock.  The sentiment is from a brand new stamp set called Perfect Punches.  What a fun stamp set!  Each stamp coordinates with one of our great punches for easy to use images.  In this case, my image was punched out with Modern Label Punch.  I stamped it twice – once in Poppy Pizzazz and again in Chocolate Chip, then cut out the oval and layered it with Dimensionals.
