Love Birds!

I am so in love with this scrapbook! Doris Denman created one and posted it on our demonstrator website. I seriously couldn't get the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' kit ordered fast enough! Come to find out... I didn't have all of the same Big Shot dies that she did to create the whole scrapbook... but that did not stop me! I just went with it! Some of the pages are CASE (copy and steal everything), while others are my own. I am so in love with this (did I already mention that?)!  Anyway... there are 14 pages and 2 of those are fold out pages - so really, there are 16 pages in this album. And, it only used up 1/2 of a Simply Scrappin' kit!! Woo hoo!! The best part?! It is in a clear mount stamp case!! Small enough to throw in your purse, big enough to show off your photos! Did I mention that it took less than 2 hours to cut and asseble everything? I love it!!

I'll be hosting a class so you can complete your own scrapbook! Watch for more details soon!! Almost everything will be cut and ready to go - so a whole scrapbook in less than 2 hours?! Be still my heart!

Happy birthday!

I made a resolution to keep a stack of birthday cards on hand this year! So what better way to accomplish that goal than to host a Stamp A Stack featuring birthday cards! The new Occasions Mini had a little to do with that resolution because I LOVE the cupcake punch!!

Here are a few of the cards that we will be making on Saturday, January 15th from 9-12. If you'd like to join us, please reserve your spot by January 11th and let me know how many cards you'd like to make! They are $2.00 each with a 5 card minimum.

I LOVE comments too!

 Please excuse the M&Ms... my gumballs have been stolen! :) I will have replaced them before the class!

My favorite so far!!

I'm still on my simple is good trip! I love, love, love how beautiful this card is!

I used the brushed silver card stock and Whisper White card stock here. The image is from the Gifts of Christmas set that I embossed in Silver, and added a few rhinestones to give it a little more sparkle! 

Heard from the heart.

I love how this simple card turned out! Quick and easy! That's my style these days.

This card uses the sentiment from Heard from the Heart, and the ornament is from the Tags Til Christmas set that is in the Holiday Mini. Cute!

It never gets old!

Old Olive that is! I love Old Olive!!

This card features the Snow Swirled set, the Petals a Plenty embossing folder and a few of our pretty pearls!

Big on Christmas!

Here is a quick card using the Big on Christmas set, and a strip of the Candy Cane DSP that is no longer available because it was soooo fabulous!

Rock Star!

This is a card that we made at our last Hostess Club! It was so much fun teaching the "kiss" technique! I CASED this card from Mik Inks We used the Extreme Guitar stamp stamped in Not Quite Navy. Then stamped a circle stamp from Circle Circus in Basic Black. We put the Circle Circus stamp right onto the Extreme Guitar and gave the circle stamp a little twist. We kept twisting until we were satisfied with the coverage. The coolest thing about his technique is that everyone's was different!

We layered the Whisper White cardstock onto a piece of Basic Black. The striped paper is from the Regals Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack. The birthday paper was created in Word and printed on Whisper White cardstock. So fun! Give the technique a try!

I {heart} Purses!

And these gift card purses are no exception! I bought the Tres Chic pattern from Becky Roberts here. I used up a lot of my retired Stampin' Up! cardstock - but love that you can use any cardstock that you want!

Some of these will be available at my Craft Fair part 2 on Saturday, November 20th!

Hey there cupcake!

I made baby washcloth cupcakes! Fat free, ha ha! Each cupcake uses 2 washcloths. I found the cupcake boxes at the craft store. I stamped the baby stroller using the Fun & Fast Notes set, colored it in with my Pretty in Pink marker, covered the stroller with Crystal Effects and added some Dazzling Diamonds! They are so cute sitting on my table! My hubby thought they were real cupcakes! :)

Christiani-tea

I fell in love with these Christiani-teas when I saw them here on Janet Wakeland's Remarkable Creations site. You can find the download of devotionals under her Freebies tab.

I used the Big Shot to cut the Fancy Favor box to hold all the tea in. I used the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper to decorate the front of the box. I used some new Basic Pearls on a few of the boxes too. I used the Designer Lable punch for the front of the box with some Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware. For the tea bag holders I used coordinating cardstock colors Crumb Cake, Marina Mist (it should be Baja Breeze but I didn't have any), Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. I used the Scallop Trim Border punch on each holder too.  I used the Wide Oval punch for the devotion and embellished with a flower that was punched from the Boho Blossom punch. A brad holds it all together so that the holder can be used as a bookmark after they've enjoyed their tea.

Got Nuggets?

I do!! I have lots of nuggets all ready to go to my craft fair!! I love how simple these were to make and they look so cute too! I cut some Designer Series Paper into 1" x 3" strips, wrapped around a Hershey Nugget and secured with a little bit of Snail adhesive. I know you are going to want to know about the clear boxes I put them in!! I found them online at Clear Dollar Stamps. I wrapped another piece of DSP around the box and then ties a ribbon around the whole thing. Fun!

I bought an 8x10 canvas and covered it with our fabulous new Designer Fabric. This one is called Deck the Halls (#121716). And guess what... I still have a ton of it left over for another board or three! These are extra wide fat quarters that measure 28"x18" for $9.95. A great deal if you ask me!

On to the project...

I used a staple gun to attach the fabric and Crochet Trim to the back side of the canvas. Easy!! I then used 2 Vintage Brads to give it a more finished look.

Here's a close up of the Crochet Trim and Vintage Brad.

Gratitude

I've never sent Thanksgiving cards. But every year at a certain craft fair, I have requests for them. So... here's one that I will be offering!

I used a Very Vanilla base. The leaves were cut using the Stampin' Up! Sizzix Leaves #2 die. The colors are Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Daffodil Delight. The polka dot paper strip is from the new Designer Series Paper pack! The Gratitude sentiment is from the Define your Life set. I used Cajun Craze Classic ink for the sentiment and to put some definition on the leaves.

Inspired

Here's a card I made for my friend's birthday. I used the Inspired by Nature set. I love this set! The card stock colors are Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, and Natural White.The Classic ink colors are Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, and Always Artichoke. The ribbon and hardware are retired, but there are other great substitutes available from Stampin' Up!

You want S'more?!

I have had several requests for "S'more" information about this fun project! So... because I love what I do, and I share what I love... here you go!

-The box is from Stampin' Up! Sizzix Box #2 die. I ran it through my Big Shot using a piece of Not Quite Navy card stock.

-Randomly stamp the star image from the Under the Stars set using Basic Black Classic ink.

-The Large Oval punch was used to create the open window on the box.

-A small piece of Sticky Strip is used to hold the whole box together!

-The bear from the Under the Stars set was stamped twice. Once on Crumb Cake card stock, and once on Chocolate Chip textured card stock. -The tummy from the Chocolate Chip was cut out and adhered to the Crumb Cake bear using a Dimensional.

-The s'more was stamped on Crumb Cake card stock. It was colored using More Mustard and Chocolate Chip markers. The marshmallow was colored in using the White Signo Gel Pen!

-Cut out the s'more and adhere it to the bear paw using a Dimensional.

-Then adhere the bear and s'more to the box using Dimensionals.

-The s'more mix is Golden Graham cereal, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. It is packaged in a small cello bag, and tied with Whisper White Grosgrain ribbon.

So there you have it! I shared what I love, will you share with me? I would love to see your S'more creations!

Just cover it!

Fabric is coming in the Holiday Mini!! It's sooo pretty and magical! Really! Look what it turned this ugly canvas in to...

Ok... so maybe it's not magical, but it sure is beautiful!
I used an 8"x8" square piece of the fabric, and a 7x7 piece of batting. A staple gun is all I needed to adhere both to the wood frame. I used the staple gun to adhere to Very Vanilla ribbon too. A brad in the center to give it a little something, and ta-da! A fun place to add photos or notes. I will be making a larger version soon - so easy!!
