Ode to My BFF

This 'n' That

14 May

As a little celebration of over 20,000 hits…holy moly, I can’t even believe it….thanks everyone for checking in with me, and keeping me on my toes.

I wanted to share some beautiful cards….one of the best stampers I know is my very own BFF Tracy, and I’m not just saying that.  I mean I know a lot of awesome stampers and I am in awe of all of them.

Tracy always goes that step further that makes her cards WOW cards. It might be adding a brad here or there, a little crystal effects, punching a hole and adding the greeting inside…whatever it is, it’s the little touches that she does that lets you know how much she enjoys this little craft we call stamping.

So, since I will never get rid of these cards, I thought I would share them with you here, so you can enjoy them too.blog 0514308 002

This card has faux stitching around the edges.

Then the ribbon is added to the edges.

So cute, and fun!

This card has the circle punch with the greeting that actually holds the card shut, as the gray cardstock tucks behind it.

I like how she added the gold cording. I never used that stuff enough when we used to sell it.

This one I still just ogle over, all the little details.

For one I loved this Christmas paper, and I love how she punched the large oval and then the little oval is inside, then if that was not enough, she sponged the edges of that little oval, AND colored in the jingle bell with the gold zig painty pen.

Here again is some of that awesome Christmas paper we used to sell.  There is that cording too, this time in silver, this card is so beautiful, it is nice to look at when it is 115 degrees in Arizona in the summer. It is so cool feeling.

I love the colors in these flowers, and how they are framed in the oval really make them stand out. 

It uses one of my favorite wheels, and the flowers have some crystal effects on them to make them look like they are wet.

 

 

 

 

blog 0514308 006 This card is the most beautiful card ever, and this is actually a lilac flower that she turned into a hydrangea, isn’t that the best thing you have ever seen? 

I just love this card, the colors, the softness of it, just every detail.

 

So hopefully you did not mind me doing a little bit of bragging about Tracy, you all agree with me eh? She is pretty talented. Love ya Trac, stand up and take a bow!

 

Thanks for stopping in!

Hugs, Di

    Awwwwwwe Shucks!!! Oh My Gosh Diana I do NOT deserve all that Hooplah!!!!
    Funny how "I" view you as THEE BEST Stamper which only shows the truth by the Gazillion Hits you've had on this Awesome Blog! Which I am so "Proud" of you for!! Maybe that's a true sign of BFF's we always think the other is the "Better One" But "You" are the Best!!!
    "Once in a while, Right in the Middle of an Ordinary life, Stampin'Up gives you "Your BFF"
    Even when we are too old to take that trip to Convention! We'll be rockin away, porch sittin, Bird Watching, Catalog Page Flippin, saying as we try to keep our teeth in our mouths, "OMG another Friggin Bold Flower Set!!!"
    I Love you!! And am Honored to be called "Your BFF"
    Big Squeeze!!
    Tracy

    Some how my post wound up on the wrong topic –
    it's under "must have slipped my mind" instead of Ode to my BFF…I'm so technologically challenged – it's pathetic…any who…it just says you're both awesome stampers – no wonder why your BFF…

    love you both – Marlene

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
