Elegant Bird Bigz Die, Baptism Card
We have baptism tomorrow for our 21st grandchild. I used Baja Breeze and Whisper White cardstock, and Not Quite Navy ink. The stamp set is the Special Blessings stamp set and is retired. This is one of my "hold on forever" stamp sets! This card is very simple and quick to make. After I die cut the bird, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polk dots embossing folder.

Pin Wheel Gift Bags
I used retired designer series paper for this gift bag since this is my first pinwheel attempt. I am thinking it will be adictive and I am going to use the Summer Smooches designer paper next! I visited Sandy Murphy's blog and here are her instructions:
"Cut a 4" square and score down the center from point to point on both sides. Then I cut my piece of designer paper just a tad smaller 3 3/4" square. Fold your lines real well so you have good creases. Then I adhered my dp to my square. Cut up the corners about half way to 3/4 of the way. Don't go any futher or you pin wheel will be too floppy. On each corner you will need to punch a small hole with your piercing tool for the brad to go in and you will need another hole right smack dab in the center of your scored "X". Put your brad in one corner and gently fold over. Keep bringing each end up and put your brad in each one then put all four into the center hole and fasten down tight. Voila you have a pretty pin wheel.
If I have confused you, just Google Pin Wheels and you will find some videos out there. Easy peasy!!!!!!"
I only used dsp and not the cardstock. My bigger one started with a 4 x 4 square and the smaller was 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 square. I used the Diagonal plate on my Simply Scored scoring tool which worked very slick! Check back often because I am going to be making more of these!

New Catalog sneak peak!
I am playing and creating today using new sneak peak product from the upcoming Stampin'Up! Catalog which goes live June lst! Are you coming to my New Catalog Kick Off event this week? Attendees get a copy of the brand new catty! So do you see what new product I used on this card? I used the Bigz Clear Oval Accent die, cut it in half, and then embossed with the square lattice folder. The stamped image was stamped in Soft Suede and is from the new Layered Labels stamp set, and then die cut with the new Apothecary Accents framelits. I was going to use the new buttons but decided to use the neutral brads instead. I hope you like. I seem to be on a masculine card kick lately and love using Soft Suede and Early Espresso together.

Medallion stamp is retiring! Get it now!
This large background stamp makes such beautiful cards! This picture is definitely not the best, but wanted to share anyway. This image was stamped in versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. The sentiment is from Oval All and that is also retiring. Click on the retired list on the sidebar and check out the list!
Punch Art! It's crazy here!
Here is some of what I have been busy doing. This is some of the class by mail and I am finally caught up. Those registered got theirs on time. These were post class orders. I had some order the past months also. Our albums will be so fabulous with all the different pages! Inspiration came from several and I have credited them in past posts. Just a reminder to check out the clearance rack on my website or by clicking on the Shop Online widget on the sidebar. There may be some punches left that are retiring. Or albums. I know the 6 x 6 page protectors are gone. June's punch art class is the 21st at my home. If there is enough interest we may continue. I love the punch art ideas for scrapbooking and/or cardmaking!

M & M punch art
This is one of the cards from my May Punch Art Class. Thanks to Ellen Kemper for the inspiration. I used the 1 3/4", and 3/4" circle punches, modern label, owl & cupcake builder, large & XL oval, and the word window punches for this card. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. This class is also available by mail. Details were on a previous post. I used the white gel pen to make the "m", and colors are Whisper White, Real Red, and Basic Black.
