If this is your first visit to my blog, WELCOME! My name is Lori Stilger, and I've been a demonstrator since 2000. I LOVE what I do, and I love to teach you how to use your stamps and paper - my goal is to show you things you feel comfortable duplicating at home - or encourage you to ask your own demonstrator how to do what I've shown (or come to one of my classes! :D) If you see anything that you want more information about, PLEASE ask me!! I love to feel useful! LOL!
We've been asked not to give blog candy on this tour, because it seems to take a lot of time to enter. ;D So there's no candy TODAY - but come back on MONDAY, and I'll have BLOG CANDY for you then to win!!!!!
My featured stamp set today is SIMPLE FRIENDSHIP, item #113397, shown on page 92 of the Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. I LOVE this stamp set - as a matter of fact, if you come back on Monday, I'll have one more project to show you and a clickable list of photos of projects I've already shown, all done with this stamp set! :) I encourage you to bookmark my blog, and come back often - I try to make sure to post five days a week, and that adds up to lots of ideas! :) (Click on any photo to enlarge it!)

Now, on with what you came here for - the SAMPLES! Unless it's something that needs more explanation, I'll just put the recipe down for you.
This is a little 3"x3" card. 
I stamped and embossed the Cameo Coral piece first, then punched out the 1-3/4" circle in it. I put it over the Chocolate Chip card stock, then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to center the medallion stamp in the punched-out area. I stamped the medallion, then took off the Cameo Coral piece and embossed the medallion.

Great cards! I do like them all, but the 3x3 card! So striking in its colors!!!
I like the butterfly project; the iridescent ice makes it look so special!
Hi, Lori!
I liked the first card - the 3x3" Simple Friendship card. I like the color combination and the way you used white around the edge as a border.
Great tour - what a fun idea!

Hi Lori: I love your butterfly card that has uses the pretties kit. I have been wondering how to make antenae, and now I do. Thanks for sharing.
I really liked the color combo and design of the first card but the vellum butterfly card really knocked my socks off! I liked the use of the eyelets to hold it all together.
Thanks for sharing the creativity - Jean
