Housewarming Card

Wished my brain worked a little faster. I originally wanted to make an accordion card, in shape of the townhouse in the picture, but it was a low resolution graphic :I But I'm still happy with how it turned out :D

Flower Pot Card

I've seen other Demonstrators made these cards and I just couldn't resist. I had to make some. I loved how they turned out! My friend loves blings, so I added some for her Graduation card. This is a fun one to make. I'm gonna have to teach this one.
All you need is Chocolate Chip paper, your choice of color papers, the 5 Petal Punch and the Eyelet Border Punch.

My Very First Workshop as a Demonstrator
After attending all the Stampin Up workshops, I knew this is a business I wanted to do. I just had my son on April 8th, so I figure I'll wait til next year when they have a special, unless there's a deal I just can't refuse. Guess I shouldn't have said that, a special came up this month, in May, for a Scrapbooking Kit for $75! OMG, I couldn't believe it! It was a hard decision to make since I have a newborn to care for, but I decided to jump in, as you can tell :D
These are the cards that my clients made at the workshop this past Saturday. They all loved it! They said it was simple, easy and beautiful!
It's been so much fun! It's definitely challenging with 2 kids, but I don't regret signing up one bit. If you want to join the adventure, click here. My password is: stampinwiz
Baby Diaper Favors

I'm making these favors for a friend's baby shower. They are so STINKIN' CUTE!
Special Note: You don't have to be creative to stamp. I found a tutorial on YouTube on this Baby Diaper Favor. I love how all the Demonstrators freely share ideas. They call this CASEing (Copy And Share Everything), so cool! I get creative block all the time, and now I can still make cool stuff by just copying and making it my own :D
Popcorn Favors
I made these for my husband's coworkers as a Thank You gift for their gift for our new baby, Maddox. They gave us a $200 Visa Gift Card and we sure made use of it. We were able to get some things that we still needed like the Graco Carrier Stroller, portable changing pad, bathroom decor, formula (for his jaundice) and so much more. We just got a Snugli Carrier Strap last week to use it up...the gift card went a long way! Thanks guys for blessing us :D
Same card design, different purpose.
I love how you can make the same card and use a different stamp. Now I've got 2 very special cards for different occasions! Gave my mom the Mother's Day card and she loved it.

My Baby Shower Favors
After that Big Shot class I attended, I had to get one. I made these favors with the Big Shot...and I tried embossing, but that didn't go too well :I I was bummed, well it turns out that the embossing stuff I got from Michael's did not work well at all...and it went back to Michael's! How frustrating! Besides the embossing, I loved what we made :D My 4 year old son (Matthias), husband (Moni) and friends (Kathy & Trenton) helped me make about 50 of these. We had fun stamping, cutting and spending time together! Thanks guys!
After the Demo mtg, I came home even more excited about Stampin' Up and wanted to attend workshops. Unfortunately that wonderful lady that brought me to the meeting lives far away for me to attend her workshops (I hate traffic with a HUGE passion, sorry Pegi...wish you were closer)! I needed to find someone closer to home so I could just step away from my nursing baby for a little break.
I found a lady a few blocks away in Eastvale/Corona, who had events on her calendar. I signed up for her next workshop and these are the cards that I made. Aren't they beautiful??? Simple and easy, love it!
My next set of cards
A week later, I went to a Stampin' Up Demonstrator's meeting and here are the projects that we made. I also made another beautiful bridal card, but had given it away and forgot to take a picture of it...bummer! I think I remember how to make it, maybe I'll make another one...another project to add to my list. I am loving it more and more! Showed my husband and he was really impressed :D
What got me into Stampin Up!
In March 2009, my friend took me to a workshop that she was attending and I fell in love with Stampin' Up and the Big Shot! It was so fun and easy...and I thought to myself, "This is so cool and it's easy!" I came home and couldn't stop talking about the Big Shot and Stampin' Up! My poor husband. He was glad that I found something fun that I could do. What a guy :D

My First Stampin Up Cards
These are the cards I made about 5-6 years ago when my neighbor hosted a Stampin Up workshop at her home. It was fun, but I didn't like the fact that we had to cut and assemble our own stamps...TMW. Now our stamps come pre-cut and all we have to do is stick it on the wood...clean and easy, yay! I'm so glad they upgraded to that :D

A grateful heart...
Thanks to my wonderful and supporting husband, I became a SU Demonstrator just a few days ago...and he showed me how to create this blog. It's still in working progress, but I hope that you'll enjoy what you see.
My Stampin' Up! history, I was introduced to SU about 6 years ago by a neighbor, but it never stuck with me. Back in February, being pregnant and getting bored...I mentioned to a friend of mine, Angela, that I needed something fun to do. In March, she invited and took me to join her for a workshop club that she was going to. I had so much FUN! I was hooked and it's all her fault!!!!!!!!!!!! (Just kiddding, THANKS ANGELA!!!) I wanted to go to any workshop available. Since I was going to have a newborn, I wanted to go to workshops as close to home as possible. I started to search for a Demonstrator and found one just a few blocks away. I attended her workshops whenever I got a chance and loved every moment of it!
I knew I was going to sign up eventually, because I wanted a home business and stay at home with my 2 boys. I had actually planned on signing next year during SU Sale-a-bration specials. Well, it turned out that they had an even better special this month and I just had to give it a try. So here I am...stampin away and hoping that I can spread the joy of it to anyone who needs a break from the everyday busyness like me!
