11/29 Stampin' Up Embellished Ornaments, Last Day of the Extravaganza Sale!

Good Evening friends!


It's been quite the week with this crazy awesome sale that Stampin' Up! has going on!  There has already been a few items that have sold out completely!

I made this sweet card with the bow builder punch, which is only on sale for 1 more day at half off (while supplies last)  Several of the items have already sold out completely.

To make this bow, you need to punch the red foil paper twice and the big tip here is that I punched the 2nd layer of the card to get that cool bow.  So underneath the base is some holes that no one will see, and it can be our little secret that there's holes under there at all!

I have a complete shopping list for this card at the bottom of this post!

Measurements:

Base: Whisper White Thick Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: Red Foil Card Stock 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Layer 3: Whisper White Thick Card Stock, cut to 5 x 3 3/4"
Layer 4: 1/4" x 3 3/4" red foil strip
The layers for the punches (that came from layer 2) shhhh.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

10/23 Stampin' Up! Gentle Peace Christmas Card, Traditional

Hello Friends,

After my stampin class left tonight, I opened my brand new stamp set, Gentle Peace, and played.. and played.  It was JOYFUL!

I started by stamping my image with momento ink on a piece of whisper white card stock.  I started with the night of navy.. This card looked PERFECT to color on my facebook group, but when i'm posting it here, it almost looks purple.  Just click the link above to request entry into my group.  I am forever posting creative projects there and encourage you to share what you are working on in your stamp rooms.

The base is night of navy, as is the second layer and the seam binding ribbon.  I wanted the background to stay subdued to really make the holy family stand out! 

I started with my lightest colors and build the darker colors in after by tracing the lines of my stained glass, then blending them.. I used the color lifter to add highlights. 

It was so fun to color and play with.  I just hand cut the image out, which was pretty easy (straight lines).

Here is a pretty solid shopping list of everything i used to get this look.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!

6/18 Stampin' Up Ornament Keepsake and Greetings of the Season, Merry Christmas, Blackberry Bliss and Satin Ribbon

Hello Friends!

Oh goodness, this new Blackberry Bliss Color has stolen my heart!  I have another pretty project using the Ornament Keepsake stamps and coordinating framelits for you today.  

I started out by embossing my quarter sheet of Black Berry Bliss Cardstock.  Don't blink I'm almost done!

I stamped the ornament and cut it with the framelits, then popped that up on dimensionals.  Tied the ribbon, and added the banner with the sentiment.  Stick it to the base and add a few pearls and you're done!

I put them on the "I" in Christmas and the center of the ornament. 
This card is so simple and will be perfect for the stamp a stack I have here on Friday night.

6/17 Stampin' Up Ornament Keepsake & Christmas Messages, Deck the Halls, Lost Lagoon

Good Afternoon Stampers!

I am getting ready for my Christmas card class on Friday!  It's the last of a 3 class series.  In the class, friends will make 12 cards, 4 of each.  I have my eye on this amazing color combination.  How fun to pair the older stamp sets with the brand new colors.  makes them feel brand spankin new! 



Although these stamps are not in the current catalog, they are carried over until the middle of August. 

Here's my supply clickable list.  

Just click through to see the full stamp set or product in my store:
Stamps: Christmas Messages Clear Mount, Ornament Keepsakes Clear Mount Stamp Set
Ink: Lost Lagoon Ink Pad
Paper: Whisper White, Smokey Slate, and Lost Lagoon Cardstock.  In color paper stack Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  1/8" Silver Ribbon, Self Adhesive Rhinestones, Holiday Ornament Framelit Dies (coordinates with the stamp set), Scallop Border Punch

So this one is pretty simple.  They will stamp the sentiment from Christmas Messages in the Lost Lagoon Ink on the bottom left hand side of the smokey slate layer.  Next, stamp the ornament from the Ornament Keepsake Stamp Set and cut it out with the Big Shot using the Matching Framelits.  (so cool!)  and that's it.. This one goes together very quickly. 

In the class, all the pieces are border punched and all the bows are tied before my friends get here so you can just sit back and relax and have 12 cards done before July even comes!  I love that!

4/14 Stampin' Up! More Merry Messages & Fresh Prints, Mojo Monday

Good Afternoon Friends!

I am so happy to have the door open with the screen in the storm door today.  73 Degrees in Dracut, MA feels GREAT!  It's very windy... Alexis said she thinks it's the start of a tornado. Thank goodness we haven't seen any.  ;-)

It might sound funny to be making Christmas Cards in April, but today that's exactly what I'm doing!  By request, I've added a Christmas Card Series of classes to the roster.  At this class we will make 12 cards (with envelopes) for $25 monthly for three months starting on April 25th and continuing through May 22nd and finally June 20th.  Come summertime I'll re-evaluate if we all want to keep going, but imagine having 36 cards done for Christmas before July!  :)  Woohoo!  The inspiration for today's design came from the mojo master of sketches Julee.  I just love playing with her fun designs.  What do you think of my card?

I hear over and over from some select stamping friends, that when they come to classes, they NEVER actually give the cards away.  You'll be making 3 of each design, or one to keep and two to mail! 

Here's a quick supply list if you're looking to make your own.

Stamps: More Merry Messages Stamp Set from Stampin Up
Ink: Cherry Cobbler Marker
Paper: Fresh Prints Designer Paper, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Champagne Glimmer Paper.
Accessories: Polka Dot embossing folder, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 3/4" scalloped circle punch, paper snips, dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding

Oh What Fun Indeed!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Please make it a great week!

12/4 Season of Style, Color Me Christmas, and Greetings of the Season,

Good Morning Friends!!

I have another card to share from my upcoming class this Thursday.  I love this little reindeer from the Color Me Christmas Stamp set.  I paired him up with the Greetings of the season Stamp set and some Whisper White Bakers Twine.   Isn't he adorable!  

The Chevron Border was made in seconds with two punches on my border punch!  Dude, I love that punch!!  The card uses a whisper white insert measuring 5 1/4" x 4" so you see through the punch to the white.  So super cute!!  The designer paper is cut 1 3/4" x 5.5"  That's it!  Straight, marker color, easy peasy.  So, how about a supply list?

12/3 Season of Style, Christmas Collectables, Greetings of the Season

Good Morning Friends! 

I have been running classes around the Season of Style Designer series paper.  In the first class in the series, we made these adorable gift bags. The bags were designed by my friend Ronda Wade.

 

Thursday night, we will be making SIX beautiful cards that match the bags, like this card. This one uses the season of style designer series paper, and is my design. :)

Such a simple card, we stamped greetings of the season, in cherry cobbler right on the designer paper.  Then, just tie your cherry cobbler ribbon on.  Stamp the ornament and punch it out, pop it up with some dimensionals and you're done!  I love how beautifully simple this card is and how easy the trendy designer paper makes it to make a gorgeous card!

11/6 Santa's List, and I got arrested!!

Good Morning Friends! 

Today I have just a quick share for you.  I'm off to stamp with assisted living.  I just love stamping with them.  Some of them don't have the opportunity to get out of the house, and it makes me so happy to hang out and share what I love with them.  

Today, I'm sharing a project for tomorrow's fancy folds class!  We will make this beauty with the envelope punch board. 

 

Aren't the colors just dreamy?  The base, and the ribbon are pool party, and santa is stamped in the new smokey slate gray, and punched out with a 2 1/2" circle punch.  

I spent the weekend at a creative memories scrapbook retreat.  My new friend Marjorie, it was her last retreat and she brought in 3 vendors to meet her customers.  We had so much fun!  In between the laughter, they arrested me!  I think they pegged me pretty well.  I had to stifle my laughter enough to scowl and get this fun shot.  What do you think??  

I have a pretty full calendar this week with follow up's and thank you's for orders from the weekend, and Saturday I'm off to visit Mickey mouse!!  :) 

Stamps: Santa's List
Ink: Smokey Slate Ink Pad
Paper: Pool Party, Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper
Accessories:  Envelope Punch Board, pool party ribbon, Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Pretty print Embossing folder

That's it for this morning!  I'm off to go have some stampin fun! :)  Thanks for stopping by today!
