Make a Mitten

Make a Mitten Stampin up
This is a variation of a card I posted for our Christmas Stamp a Stack. Love the Sweater Trim from the Holiday Catalog. I used a frayed piece of it on the mittens. I like this layout, it makes a  quick and easy Christmas card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Greeting Card Kids

Greeting Card Kids

It’s almost the end of September. The kids have been back at school for a few weeks now. I made this card in honor of fall which officially began last weekend. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that she’s late to the game.

I used my sweet little Greeting Card Kids and the Storytime DSP for this card. They play together very nicely! I have to admit that after ignoring the 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon for years and years, I am in love with our stitched replacement. I love the look and it is a little more supple, so it’s easy to tie. The apple button is from a big stash of buttons that were my mom’s. I just love incorporating some of her things into my cards, it’s like sending an extra special hug along with the card.

Thanks for looking!

Four Seasons

Four Seasons

Here is a quick and easy card that we made for stamp camp this month. For those of you who may be wondering, yes I own other ink pads! I promise I will force myself out of this Baja Breeze/Daffodil Yellow mode. I just love this stamp set. It is a hostess set. We have some really great hostess sets, this catalog season. LOVE them all!

Speaking of ink pads…..OH MY! When Stampin’ Up! announced that they had reconfigured the ink pads, I thought, “Oh, that’s nice, but I don’t see the need to replace the colors I already own”. THEN, I received my new In Colors and I was completely blown away by the difference in these pads!! It only takes a couple of light taps to get amazing coverage and a perfect sharp and vivid image every time. They are juicy and wonderful and still have all of the other great functions of our retired pads. So then I thought, OK, I’ll replace them slowly. Then demo math got the best of me and with the great Hostess incentive going on right now, I have replaced half of my pads. I waited 3 weeks, it SEEMED like a lifetime, anyway. All that to say…..You are going to LOVE the new firm foam pads!!!!

Apothecary Art Framed Latch

apothecary art

Hello! OK, if we can get a break from medical issues at our house, I think I’ll finally be back to stamping and blogging! This is a special fold card with a frame that also serves as a latch. Lots of fun.  The picture below shows how it opens.

apothecary art

You create the frame by laying two dies on your cardstock and running them through the Big Shot together. Then you attach them to the card by only adding adhesive to half of the frame and focal piece and attaching them to opposite sides of the gatefold to create an interlocking latch. The ribbon creates a pull for easy opening. I added color to the embossed base by using the direct to paper technique and drawing two colors across the already embossed images. This requires a very light touch, but I love the pop of color that it adds when you need a little extra something on your card. I’ll try to get a tutorial made for this card, so you can try one for yourself, we made these at stamp camp and workshops this month.

Thanks for looking!

Easy Events

Don’t forget that you can download a free trial version of My Digital Studio today! I’ll post with all of the details a little later.

Easy Events

This is a fun little card using the Easy Events set. I paired the love birds with the sentiment from the the tree image. I am thinking about cutting the sentiments away from the images on this set to make it even more versatile. Cheery fun!

Happy stampin’!

Dasher for Stamp a Stack

Dasher

This is another card option for Stamp a Stack hostesses. We still have about a two  or three week window  for hostesses who would like to hold a Stamp a Stack for a fun day of stamping with your friends. These are a little extra work, but the rewards and flexibility are great! Hostesses of these events earn 3-4 times the amount they would,  holding a standard workshop. There is still time to host your own. Call me at 918-827-6148 for details.

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Planner

Holiday Planner

 Holiday Planner

This is a fun little planner that I made to organize the information I’ll need for all of my holiday plans. Actually I use Microsoft One note to sort things out and then I’ll print things off and have a nifty little pocket organizer to carry them around with me, while I shop.

I used a regular school folder and cut it down so that it would be better sized to fit in my purse. I only had white ones on hand and so this paper from last years catalog worked best for what I had in mind. The folder is one of those simple class folders (no brads) that are available at back to school time for just pennies each. I cut about 4 inches off the top and then folded the back and front in half vertically. This gave me 4 pockets in an accordion fold.

Christmas Planner

I glued the two center pockets together from the back to make a center page rather than an accordion fold.

Organized Christmas

I  covered the front and insides with cut designer paper and stamped simple images to decorate each section. I didn’t have any red embossing powder and I wanted my titles to be opaque so I decided to cut them out with my Cricut machine. I thought it would be quick and easy. NOT! Gluing all of those skinny individual letters took forever!

I used the last pocket for a receipt envelope. Of course, when the envelope is overflowing, there is more room in the pocket for extras.

planner

I covered two pieces of chipboard with DSP and included some note pages and then bound it all together and added ribbon and a stamped image to decorate. This will be a fun little place to keep lists of all kinds. Wish lists, shopping lists, menus, party needs, Christmas card list.

planner

Decorating was quick and easy. Lots of punched pieces and a few cut out images.

Thanks for stopping by!

Snow Swirled

snow swirled

I have been playing with the snow swirled set! Lots of bling on this one. The snow flakes are stamped in Whisper White Ink and then embossed with Iridescent Ice EP.

There are two strips of Sticky Strip tape covered with Dazzling Diamond glitter behind the Baja Breeze grosgrain ribbon. I added Dazzle Effects on the Snow Swirled tree and last but not least, I used Rhinestone brads and Felt Snowflakes for a little extra fun.

Thanks for stopping by!
