Hello Folks. . .   Happy Friday.  Hope all is well and your getting ready for the week end.  Today I have a WOW kind of card.  It is clean, simple and oh so cute.  Well I think anyway.  I just love hearts and scallops.  My idea came from one of the cards that was done at Regionals over the week end.  This little flower has three layers, the first and second layers are punched with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch (122464). 

This punch is amazing, it will actually punch three different designs by just a flick of your wrist.  The polka dot designer paper is from our In Colors Designer Paper Pack.  Opps I'm sorry I can't give you that number.  When I had my catty bound it punched out the last number, so check pg 176 of your catty and you will find it there.  I thought my polka dots where a little dull so I doctored them up just a tad.  I took my stylus and dipped it in some white acrylic paint and added some dots.  It really made a difference.  I think it brightened it up quite a bit don't you? Be sure to clean your stylus in between dots so you get a perfect dot every time.   I used our Small Heart Punch #117193 to punch my hearts.  My Whisper White piece is cut at 4.25 x 3 3/4.  I used one of our new Edgelit Dies, Adorning Accents #125595 with the matching Embossing Folder #125601.  Doesn't it just look grand.  (TIP:  to keep the edgelit from moving on you tape it down with a post it note.) 

My sentiment is from Petite Pairs (W122495/C122497).  To top it off, I used the matching sentiment and embossed some butterflies from the Beautiful Butterfles Bigz Die (114507).  Oh, Oh I also used our Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder (117335) on a matching layer on my cardbase.  The stem is from Awash With Flowers (117062/120549).

I hope you enjoyed my card today, I liked it so much I made several for my stash.  If you need supplies please shop at my On Line Store 24/7.  Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.  Happy Stamping!!!

Well Folks. . .  what did you think?  Sale a Bration  is in full swing now and I think the Everyday Enchanment Designer Paper (126154) is just beautiful.  Who would have thought Peach and Blue.  I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.  LOL 

Today I have a card to share using those beautiful colors Peach Parfait and Pool Party.  My card is cut at 5.5 x 8.5 and is scored at 4.25.  My card base is Very Vanilla (101650) matted with a piece of Peach Parfait (119794) and matted again with a piece of Everyday Enchantment.  Next is a strip of Pool Party (122924) topped with Peach Parfait paper.  My pretty scallop is made the old fashioned way using the Slot Punch (ret).  Stampin' Up has a die cut called Tasteful Trim (120893) that will cut it lickity split for you I just don't have it yet.  Another thing that is on my list is the Scallop Circle from the Perfect Pennants Die (123126) I used my nesties. 

I added some new Baker's Twine, Calpyso Coral (125573) from the Occasions Mini  and added a random button.  

My sentiment is from the stamp set called Friendly Phrases (W126149/C126151).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.  I'm here to help in any way I can.  I would love to talk about my favorite hobby .

Hello Folks,  welcome to the week end.  I'm always looking for cute ways to make Thank You cards to send out to customers that order on line.  Today I have a Thank You card that would put a smile on anyone's face.

My cardbase is cut at 5.5 by 8.5 and scored at 4.25.  My colors are Island Indigo (122923), Lucky Limeade (122926) and new designer paper from the Occassions Mini called Twitterpated (125406).  I just fell in love with the pretty floral background in Riding Hood Reds, Baja Breeze, Ilsand Indigo and Blushing Bride. 

Next is an Island Indigo panel cut at 3 x 4.  Of course I used my favorite border punch the Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402) for that extra feminine touch.  My stamp set is also from the Occasions Mini called Rue Des Fleurs (W125485/C125487 ), just a little French don't you think.  I used some markers to color my image (Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Blushing Bride and Island Indigo).  I find markers can be just a touch harsh, so I try to use a very light touch and I like to have a very firm nib.  When your nib starts to look like a sponge it will spread your color in places that you don't want, when this happens its time to purchase a new one.  Just food for thought here.  For some sparkle and dimension I also applied some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Glue (124117).

My sentiment was stamped on a strip of Whisper White and I made a flag tag out of it.  You can do this easily by using one of you square punches, insert it in one corner, line your corner in the middle of your strip and punch.  It takes a little practice, but time well spent. 

Oh, I almost forgot my background piece.  I used our Elegant Bouquet (115964) Embossing Folder with my Big Shot.  To make it more noticeable and bring it to the forefront I used the end of a paintbrush and some white acrylic paint and made dots for the center of the flowers.  I think it works beautifully, don't you.

Well, that all for me folks, hope you enjoyed todays project and it inspires you to make one yourself this week end.  If you need supplies please click on my link provided below.  I'm here to help with all your stamping needs.  Have questions?  I'm just an email away.  Have a wonderful day today and everyday as far as that goes.  Toodles

Hello Folks. . .  We've made it to Friday once again.  WOW, I'm so excited.  I was just notified by Tiffany Bauer that my   . .  card will be featured on her blog on 1/22 www.mycraftyworld.blogspot.com   Thank you so much Tiffany.

Today I have a very quick and simple Valentine's Day card.  This card would be perfect for your children to make for teachers and friends at school.  Easy Peasy!!   My cardstock is Whisper White and cut at 4.25 x 8.5 and scored at 4.25.  I used a couple of our new Framelits from the Hearts Collection (125599).  I took my larger heart and offset it just a little and cut it out using my Big Shot (113439), then I took the smaller heart and ran it thru the Big Shot again.  My stamp set is I (Heart) Hearts.  You can purchase it in the Wood Mount (117010) or the Clear Mount (118571).   Next I stamped the outline heart and lined it up with my opening.  Next I stamped the polka dot heart on a separate piece of Whisper White (100730) then trimed it with my Paper Snips (103579) and mounted it with a demensional.  I also stamped my little heart on separate paper and used our Small Heart Punch (117193) and used a demensional there too.  My sentiment at the bottom is from Teen Tiny Wishes (115370).  Viola' you have a cute little Valentine's Day card you can be proud to give to anyone. 

This card will fit in the Standard Envelope but I wanted to jazz it up just a little bit more, so I used a White Envelope and sealed it up, then trimmed it off to make it 4 3/8 square.  Punched a half circle in the middle for easy access.  Finished it off with the three heart image from the same set.

Hello Folks . . .  Happy Friday.  Stampin' Up Sale A Bration  Style.  Today I have a cute cute card using one of Stampin Up's Sale a Bration FREE stamp sets.  It's called Outlined Occasions (W126014/C126016).   It can be yours for FREE when you place a $50 order starting on Jan 24th and runs thru Mar 31st .

My cardbase is Confetti Cream (102835) cut at 5.5 x 4.25 and I have used one of our new Edgelits from the Occasions Mini, Adorning Accents (125595).  When placed on the edge of your cardstock you get this pretty decorative edge.  They are wafer thin and it comes in its very own plastic pocket for safe keeping.

I used markers from this years In Colors plus Poppy Parade to color in my image.  The balloons are from the stamp set Patterened Party (W123065/C123067) and can be found on pg 68 of your catty.   I used the Decorative Label Punch (120907) to make my  label and matted it with a piece of Island Indigo.

Hello Folks. . .  What difference a day makes.  It is cold, windy and snowing here in ole' MO.  We just had temps in the 60's.  Oh welll looks like a great stamping kind of day.

Sale a Bration is almost here and today I have a card to share with you using some great Stampin' Up products from the SAB Mini.  If you have been following me lately you have noticed that I have a lot of samples using the lovely Everyday Enchantment DP Series from the SAB Mini.  But today I decided to shake it up a bit. 

You know how I love to make my own dp paper and today is no different.  I used the coordinating stamp set call Fresh Vintage* and inked it with Poppy Parade and Pool Party.  These colors seem to be the flavor of the month in the SAB Mini.  My Whisper White is a normal background size 5.25 x 4.  I stamped my image in a diagonal pattern, trying to make it look like wallpaper.  For the focal point I stamped my image again and used my nesties for my circles but SU punches will work fine.  My sentiment is from Petite Pairs (122495/122497).  If you need sentiments with matching verses this set is for you.

This is the inside of the card

The sketch is from this week MOJO sketch and it worked just perfectly for me.  My next layer is a strip 1.5 by 3 5/8.  I used my fav punch the Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402) and layered it with another strip cut at 1 x 3 5/8.  I used our Square Lattice EB Folder (119976) for some depth and texture.  My Poppy Parade layer is 2.5 x 2 1/8 and layered it with a piece of Poppy Parade from the Everyday Enchantment DP Series.  For the bottom I have a piece of Pool Party punched with our Decorative Label Punch (120907).

That's all it takes to make this beautiful card.  Now it's your turn.  If you need any supplies be sure and order from my ON LINE STORE or contact me, I would love to do it for you.  Sale a Bration begins on Jan 24th and ends Mar 31st.  If you have any questions or need help getting the best value for your dollar please contact me.  I'm here to help with all you papercrafting needs.

Hello Folks. . .  Happy Hump Day.  I have something very sweet and yummy to share with you today.  While browsing our very own Stampin' Up Connection (site for Demonstrators Only, just one of the many perks as a SU Demonstrator) I found this lovely 6 nugget box.  What a great gift for family and friends on Valentine's Day. 

The template for this box can be found over at Splitcoaststampers.  There are many variations to choose from.  I chose the six nugget box .  I used a piece our new FREE  designer paper called Everyday Enchantment from the SAB mini.  It will be available on Jan 24th.  Place a $50 order on line or thru me and this pretty vintage paper is yours FREE.  I then cut a strip of dp 3 1/8 x 1.25, attached some score tape and wrapped it around my Hershey Nugget.  My cello bag is a non SU bag.  You can find them at any store that sells Wilton Products.  Next I stamped my tag with the stamp set Occasions Alphabet (117090/123598).  You can find this on pg 171 of your catty.  I added some White Bakers Twine (124262) and attached it to my Poppy Parade Ribbon with a safety pin.  Easy Peasy.   

Kayleigh, my youngest granddaughter still enjoys giving little presents away to people she hangs out with, especially her teachers, so I will be making several of these for her.  She is a lot like her Nana, she enjoys the gift of giving.  I hope that never changes.

Oh, these little nugget boxes will be for sale for you guys that don't have the time to make them.  They will be $6. plus shipping.  I think I can fit them in a padded envelope so shipping would probably be @ $2.  Let me know if you would like one.  Paper may vary.  You can drop me a note here.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly enjoy your company and love sharing my ideas with you.  If you are ever interested in joining my workshop group let me know, we are always looking for new faces.
