I love my Candy Hearts! We always have so much fun at our monthly team meetings, and March was no exception.
We had a couple of guests this month. Brian King stopped by and was kind enough to take pictures for us (something I have a hard time remembering to do.) Lonita Barron has been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for 5 years in Kentucky. She recently moved to the Atlanta area and will be joining us at our monthly meetings.
Here are a couple of action shots Brian took during the meeting:
I’m not sure why everyone looks so serious in this one. I must have been saying something very important!
Margie had to leave early, but here is a shot of her showing her swap card.
Candy, Judy, Donica, Debbie, and Tamara also participated in the card swap.
Judy, Tamara, and Debbie participated in this month’s Creative Challenge, which was to make something with flowers.
New Demos! Tamara’s new team member is Valerie Bush, and Debbie’s new team member is Marilyn Brooks.
Prize winners: Missy, Judy, Linda, Lonita, Debbie, and Tamara. See all the loot in Debbie’s hands? It pays to earn lots of tickets for the prize drawings – she won 3!
Here we all are (minus Margie). Thanks again to Brian King for taking the photos!
We’d love to have you join us in the fun! And if you buy the starter kit by March 31, you get an extra $30 in free products! What? Yes, when you buy the starter kit for just $99, you get to choose $155 in product AND free shipping! After March 31, it will still be a great deal, but you’ll get $125 instead of $155 in product.

Check back to see all the projects from the meeting, including the swap cards and Make & Takes!
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!

Today I’m sharing the fourth and final birthday card designed by Monika Davis that I copied for my team meeting. Click to see the first, second, and third cards.

We notched the end of a 1″ strip of Sahara Sand CS with the Banner Triple Punch, then glued it to the Whisper White card front.
We adhered six 1″ squares cut from the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
We stamped the sentiment from the Party With Cake stamp set in Basic Black directly onto the card front.
We tied a piece of Mint Macaron/Basic Black Baker’s twine around the card front, then glued the whole thing to the Mint Macaron card base.
Done!
Here’s what we used to make this card:
I’d like to thank Monika again for her brilliant designs. If you’d like to sit down and make a lot of birthday cards at one time, this is a great way to do it. All you need are the It’s My Party DSP, the It’s My Party CS Pack, Basic Black and Whisper White CS, the Party With Cake and the Suite Sayings stamp sets, a few punches, twine, ink pads, markers, and adhesives.

CASE = Copy And Share Everything
Today I’m sharing the second birthday card from Monika Davis that I copied and used for my team meeting Make & Takes. To see the first one, click here.

The card base is Crushed Curry card stock. You can buy a pack of Crushed Curry CS, or you can buy a pack of It’s My Party Designer CS and get Crushed Curry, Mint Macaron, and Melon Mambo.
On the Whisper White card front we glued three strips from the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack, and tied a piece of Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine around it. We glued it to the card base.
We stamped the sentiment from the Suite Sayings stamp set in Basic Black on a piece of Whisper White CS cut with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch. We used the confetti stamp from the Party With Cake stamp set to stamp in Crushed Curry, Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo, and Basic Black – being sure to clean the stamp well between ink colors.
We adhered the circle to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Monika Davis had four birthday cards prepared for us to make at her team meeting last Saturday. I thought they were so brilliant that I dispensed with the Make & Takes I had planned for my own team meeting on Sunday and used her designs instead. Today I’m sharing one of those cards.

The card base is Basic Black card stock, with a piece of Whisper White CS glued to the inside. The circles are all cut from the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack with Circle Punches in 1-1/2″, 2″, and 2-1/2″.
Both sentiments from the Party With Cake stamp set are stamped in Basic Black. We used the Banner Triple Punch to notch the end of the strip for the card front.
It’s such a quick and easy card to make, but the design has a lot of impact. Thanks again, Monika!

Last Saturday I was fortunate enough to attend Monika Davis’ team meeting. Her team is called the PAWS. We did a birthday card swap, and today I’m sharing the cards I received. As you can see below, there are some very talented PAWS members.
Hilary made a gift card holder from an envelope. Here’s the exterior…
…and here’s the interior.
I hope you are as inspired by these projects as I am.
This card might look familiar. I attended two swaps on the same weekend, so I made enough of my card for the Saturday PAWS swap AND the Sunday Candy Hearts swap:

These are the five entries in the Creative Challenge for February, which was to decorate a Petite Cafe Bag. I love seeing all the different takes on the same challenge. These are very creative stampers! To see who made each bag, see yesterday’s post here.
Seven of us participated in our monthly Card Swap. Here are the wonderful cards from February.
