Happy Birthday Elizabeth!!!
It's the big 15, only one
more year and you'll be driving. Wow, where
has the time gone, seems like only yesterday
you were running around in those red
glittery shoes.
I am going to share
another card we did at card class.
This card uses the Garden
From the Heart stamp set available in the
mini catalog and Kaleidoscope DSP. The
images were colored with markers and the hat
has some paper piecing on it.
It's A Happy
Bird-Day
It was card class day at
Joann's again yesterday. We made the cutest
cards and had lots of laughs. This is one of
the cards we made and I totally love it. The
white paper is our glossy white paper and I
really like using it this way. The bird and
branch are punched with a new punch
available in our new mini catalog.
Compliments to the Chef
Compliments to the Chef
meets Thoroughly Modern. Having a dinner
party and need to send invitations? Well
this cute stamp set will fit the bill
perfectly. I used Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay,
Vanilla and Thoroughly Modern DSP.
Compliments to the Chef $20.95 Wood
Mounted
Going to the Dogs
I have to take Chloe and
Lola this week to get their hair cut so I
decided to make their groomer a card to put
a gift card into. I got busy at Christmas
and forgot to take it then when they got
their haircuts so now is better than never!
The paper used is Tall Tales and the dog is
made with various Stampin' Up! punches. The
tag is made using Tiny Tags out of the
Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the Quarter
Rounder punch on all of the corners.
Good Neighbors
I made a couple of things
to show you today. I used the Free SAB paper
you can choose as one your freebies with
every $50.00 you spend right now on SU
products. This is a great 6 x 6 pad of
designer papers that match the Great
Neighbors stamp set available now also for
free.
The only thing stamped on
the card is the little tag. I used the Polka
Dot folder for the background on the card
and the little house paper is from that DSP
package I talked about above. I used our tag
punches to do the tag. The Thank You
greeting comes from Happy Moments. The
little basket is cut out using the Big Shot
Scallop square. The basket makes a cute go
with for the card, it holds 7 kisses.

Grabbed That Old Favorite Again
It actually is not old
but I am sure you are beginning to wonder if
I own any other stamps. I can assure you I
do. I needed a fast birthday card and as I
have said before this is my go to stamp set
of the moment. It is so versatile and can be
used for about any occasion. I also got out
my Color Spritzer Tool which I used to just
leave sitting in the drawer unused and not
loved. At Leadership and Regionals we used
it for several projects and I use it often
now. Have you got tools like that you let
sit on your desk or in a drawer and not use?
If so get them out and use it just once and
see if it doesn't become one of your
favorite tools to use. Remember some
technique you saw made you buy it in the
first place so get it out! Use it!!!
The colors on this card are Melon Mambo,
Crushed Curry and Old Olive. I cut out a
oval frame using the big shot and used it as
a template for the sponging. The pearls are
from the Pretties Kit. The word stamp is
Whimsical Words and the flower stamps are
Vintage Vogue.
I will be putting my
March class schedule up over the weekend. Be
sure to check back for dates if you want to
attend.
Love Bug
This stamp comes from a
Level 1 Hostess set that you can get for
free with $150.00 order and right now
because it is SAB time you would also get 3
free SAB stamp sets! There has never been a
better time to host a party than right now,
so if you live in the Huntsville area and
would like to host a party contact me and we
can discuss the details.
I used the Square Scallop
die and the Big Shot to make this card and
our wonderful In Colors. I colored in the
bug with our In Color Markers. You can make
this card in about 15 minutes.
A Sneak Peak
I hope you had a
fantastic Valentine's Day weekend! We had a
quiet weekend which included dinner with
some friends and a walk in the mall. I am
finding when it is too cold to go out the
mall makes a great place to walk, plus the
girls got to pick out their Valentine
present. So back at the Phoenix Regionals we
got a sneak peak at a new stamp set coming
out in May in the new mini catalog. It is so
cute! I got mine a few weeks ago and got it
out today after seeing a really cute card
made with it. I try not to usually CASE
cards but as I was doing it I just loved the
original, the problem is I can't remember
who made it! :( It is called Sweet Scoops
and of course it is Ice Cream!
I love, love the ice
cream cones! They were done by stamping off
once and then rolling half of the stamp back
in the ink to re-ink it to create the
shading. The polka dot background was done
with an embossing folder for the Big Shot.
Have fun stamping and
don't forget you can
order Stampin' Up products 24 - 7 online
from my online store.
Vintage Friend
This set is my go to
stamp set right now. It is always within
arms length. The background and main image
background are done with the Very Vintage
wheel. I used Soft Suede, Kraft, Pretty In
Pink and Shimmery White Paper. I used Soft
Suede ink on both backgrounds and colored in
a little on the Shimmery White background.
The ribbon is Kraft.
Masculine Birthday Card
I don't know why but I
think it is hard to make a masculine
birthday card. I used the present stamp in
Happy Moments and some of our In Colors.
The paper used is Dusty
Durango, Soft Suede and Neighborhood DSP.
The image was done on Watercolor Paper and I
used the Aqua Painter to color the image. I
stamped the image with Black Stazon ink. The
ribbon is Dusty Durango.
Happy Moments
This card was made using
Happy Moments one of our SAB choices. I love
all of the images in this set. It is perfect
for all-occasion cards of any type. Oh and
did I mention it's free with any $50.00
order?
The heart paper is from
the SAB catalog also, it is the Good
Neighbors 6x6 pack of papers. There are so
many cute designs in this pack.
I have some friends
coming over to stamp tomorrow so I should
have plenty of new projects to share with
you over the next few days. I love it when
we can get together to share ideas! I am
going to be working on some class projects
for some upcoming classes so be sure to
check back if you are interested in coming
to class.
Tote-Ally Tess
Let Tess and her
accessories help you celebrate your love of
crafting! She's totally cool, totally
crafty, totally Tess! I was so happy to see
this stamp set in the new catalog with all
of the tools. Stampin' Up! has had nothing
like it since Stella Stamper.
The DSP is Tall Tales, love the bright
colors. The purse and blouse were pieced
using the Pawsitively Prints which goes with
our Build a Bear dies. The background has
been spritzed using our Spritzer Tool.
Wood # 117076 Price: $22.95
Clear # 118595 Price: $16.95

A Couple of
Valentine's to Share
I can't remember if the
first Valentine was shown to us at
Leadership or Regionals. Either way I really
liked it and decided to CASE it. I don't
think I changed a thing. These cards both
use the I {Heart} Hearts Stamp set.
After making this card I decided to make
another one using Bella Blue DSP.
I (Heart) Hearts Price: $26.95
I (Heart) Hearts - Clear Mount Stamp
Price: $18.95
Busy, Busy and
More Busy!
What a week this has been
and I have not even had time to stamp until
today! My
dad and brother came for a couple of days
this week and my DH went to Florida to help
his mom for a few days. I really thought I
was going to have a bunch of stamping days,
LOL. I do have a couple of projects to share
with you. I decided to make a couple of
Valentines to share with you.
This card uses the I Heart Hearts Stamp
Set #117010 (W) #118571 (C), Well Scripted
Stamp Set #117072 (W) #118601 (C), Pinking
Hearts Punch #117649, Large Heart Punch, 3
Heart Punch, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing
Folder #117335
This card uses the Crimper #101618 to
make the design on the background on the
card. I used the Sizzlets Heart Embosslits
die #117332 for the Hearts and the bow is
our new Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon #117289
To do the background find the center of
each side. Score from center to center and
fold. You will have a triangle. Run thru the
Crimper to get the design. I sprayed the
Pretty in Pink Piece and the Hearts with a
mixture of 70% Alcohol and Shimmer Paint.
I did this card last night at our
downline meeting, it was one of our Make and
Takes. I adore our Sweet Pea Stiched Felt
#117266 with its matching Sweet Pea designer
paper #117161.
We also made this last night using our
new Milk Carton die for the Sizzix. The
stamp set is Good Neighbors from the SAB
catalog. You can get it for Free with any
order of $50.00! You can order online 24 - 7
from my
online business site.
