First, I want to take a moment to remember My Mommy on what would have been her 69th birthday.
She continues to inspire me everyday through my creativity, my Stampin' Up! business, and throughout my life. Not a day goes by without it being touched by a memory of her in some way.
It's because of her influence that I made the decision to put on my Big Girl Pants and embark on this Too Cool Stamping journey. Check out My Mommy's Big Girl Denim Pants Card post read more about her "too cool" story.
Happy Birthday, Bobbi Putman! Love and miss you so very much!

OK—I've got another set of two cool cards today from our Demo Team event last Monday. This time they feature the fun, and very geometric, Six-Sided Sampler (wood)!
Created by Darla Eigenschink at stampgrl.stampinup.net. Colors: Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Midnight Muse, Strawberry Slush, and Crisp Canteloupe.
Darla used these patterned hexagon images with several of the new In Colors, plus the new Smoky Slate, and an unexpected contrast of Midnight Muse. It's so easy to mix & match color combinations when you can punch them out with the Hexagon Punch!
Bundle It & Save—Don't forget…you can purchase the Six-Sided Sampler (wood) and the Hexagon Punch together in the Six-Sided Sampler Bundle (wood) and save 15%!
The background is embossed with the coordinating Honeycomb Texture Impressions Folder, then wrapped with the Coastal Cabana Ruffled Stretch Trim.
I love what Darla did with the 1" wide sentiment element…she trimmed the end with the Hexagon Punch! Cool idea!
Created by Vicki Hinen, CASEd from Amy Storrie at Stamped With Joy. Colors: Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate.
Vicki's card also features a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" Honeycomb embossed, Pistachio Pudding background, this time wrapped in Whisper White Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon. It's layered on a 3-3/4" x 5" Strawberry Slush mat, then added to a Whisper White card base for a terrific framed look.
I love Vicki's simple details that make an impact! Like the sentiment, punched out with the Large Oval Punch, then popped up over a fish-tailed Strawberry Slush banner. Or, the cute little Strawberry Slush flower and Rhinestone Jewel accent at the top. She used the retired Flower Trio Punch, but the Boho Blossom Punch or Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack flower punch would be a fine replacement.

Thanks so much to both Darla and Vicki! Fantastic cards, ladies!
Now, back to my frantic attempt to get stuff done before I leave to go to Convention next week! I posted this on my Too Cool Stamping Facebook Page recently, and it's certainly true right now…
Do you want to place a bet on whether or not I get ANY Convention swaps done? Yeah, right! LOL!
Wish me luck!
