A fun mother's day card.

I have no idea why it is underlining my words!!! Anyway, here is the card we made for mother's day. It was made using the fifth avenue floral set with the matching embossing folder. We then trimmed the flowers and did a "gate fold". I got the idea from a great stamper and you can see more of her work at http://stampingdoc.blogspot.com/
Have a great day!

Stampin' it up as always!

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in awhile but that is because I have been having sooooo many stamping events! The spring/summer season of Wendy's Workshops has been flying by and I have been having so much fun! So far Cinco de Mayo has been my favorite!

Here are some of the fun things I have been working on lately:


I am in love with these colors! The paper is kraft, baja breeze, apricot appeal and chocolate chip. The stamp set used was Say it was Scallops and the flowers are from the flower fusion bundle! I don't know why I haven't used them forever! They are so versatile and cute!

This is my crazy kissing card! I used pumpkin and red riding hood ink and paper colors. I kissed the lion with apricot appeal and red riding hood ink.

This is my card made with only rub ons! And some cute patterned paper too! I made it in 5min!

This was a card we made with the kissing technique in the technique tuesday club. It didn't come out too well in the photo but the alligator is kissed with baja breeze and kiwi kiss ink...it looks like scales. We used the wild about you set and the big deal alphabet.

Here is my favorite card ever! I used the trendy trees stamp set and I really like how it turned out. The card is sahara sand and look how well the versamark stamped trees show up at the bottom.

For the first time ever, I am doing a series of workshops that cover techniques, scrapbooking, card making, and much more! Check the calendar of events at wendyhalverson.stampinup.net and email me ASAP to register!

Cheep Talk!

There is a Stampin' Up! set called Cheep Talk. I am obsessed with it! The card below is one that I recently did with a wild group of women at a workshop hosted by my friend Nicole. We had so much fun teaching stamping newbies the ropes...and of course had two fun cards to take home at the end of the night.
The card below is really simple to make. First of all we colored the little bird with the marker to stamp technique. And added bling to the wing with glitter and a glue pen. Of course we used my favorite Stampin' Up! paper punches for the circle and scalloped circle flower in the middle of the card. The solid cardstock colors are chocolate chip, rose red, kiwi kiss and whisper white. The patterned 1by1 inch squares were made with the designer series paper "raspberry tarte".

Stampin' Up! Catalog update!

Hey all you Stampin' Up! lovers! I got the announcement that stampin' up is going back to an annual catalog, instead of the bi-annual. I am so excited because it means all of the seasons...and well all of our stamping needs will be back in one book! Hooray! Here is the listing from the demonstrator website to give a layout of their publication plans starting July 2009:

• Beginning in July 2009, we will go back to an annual catalog.
• The US Hispanic supplement will also become an annual catalog.
• The Décor Elements catalog will continue to be separate from the Idea Book & Catalog, and will come out twice a year.
• The mini catalog program will change to include three mini catalogs a year, each lasting for four months.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What's up!

We have some great friends who just had a baby boy. I actually got inspired and made a card for them! I also used the rub ons from stampin' up! Which are so easy, see "welcome little one" on the card. Anywho I made their card by paper piecing the little elephant. I first stamped the image on white, then stamped it again on orange and cut our just the elephant. Then with pop dots I raised the elephant up a bit. I loved using buttons for the wheels too!

Most of you know that I had a super fun stamp camp at my house the day before super bowl. We had so much fun talking, I don't remember teaching anything! One of the attendees had this great version of a gift card I made. I love how she shredded the ribbon to make it look like it was blowing in the wind of the fan! Marissa gets stamp party MVP!
