Hello and Happy Friday To Ya.  The week end is almost here.

Kourtney's surgery went well and she is resting today.

Today we are changing it up just a tad and doing something other than Christmas.  I have a case to share with you from our 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.  My cardstock is Pink Pirquette (111351).  I must admit this is not a color I normally use but remember is it a case right out of the catty.  Next is a couple of layers.  I used our Scallop Border Punch (119882) on a piece of Pear Pizzazz and attached it to a piece of PP 2.5 x 5.5 and used our Square Lattice EB Folder (119976).  These EB or great they give your card just enough texture and depth especially when you don't have a dp to match.  My last layer is a piece of Bashful Blue punched with our Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (119275).  My focal point is a piece of Whisper White (100730) 2 3/4 x 3 7/8.  I nested it with a piece of Pear Pizzazz one eighth larger.  My stamp set is Field of Flower (W122760/C122762).  This set is a great go to set when your are looking for florals.  One of SU's best designs.  My inks are So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz.  My sentiment if from the same set so everything is right at your fingertips.  For a little more pizzazz I used some of our pretty 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon Lucky Limeade (122977).  This card is very easy to put together.  Add this one to your stash.

OMG get ready, the Occasions Mini is going to be so much fun.  It is just full of new cool tools and matching stamp sets to boot.  I can't show you the actual products but I do have new rubber coming soon.  Here's just a short narritive on some of the new products us will be seeing come Jan 4th.

FRAMELITS. . .  OMG we have been waiting for something like this.  There are wafer thin die cut designs that let you nest your images perfectly.  These are going to be a hot item. 

EDGELITS. . . This product allows you to jazz up the edges of your cards or envies with a pretty decorative edge and now we can even emboss those edges with pretty designs.  Can't wait for this one.

We are even going to have our very own Doily Sizzlits Die Cut.  It's very large and you will be able to cut several different patterns.  It will serve as more than just one design.  Brilliant!!!!!!!

Well thats enough babbling for now, hope I got you just as excited as I am.  This mini is just to die for.  If you are in need of an Occasion Mini and are not associated with another Stampin' Up Demonstor please send me an email with your name and address and as soon as the Occasion Mini can be released I will mail you one.  I have gift certificates available for Christmas so you will be ready on Jan 4th.  Happy Shopping!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  My dear friend from Sullivan is coming to visit me today. Bless her heart she travels a long distance in order to visit and I so appreciate it.  Until next time and don't forget your Idea Book and Catty is a great source for inspiration when you MOJO seems to leave you brainless.  LOL  Toodles

Hello My Stamping Friends.  Happy Friday.  Today I have a shabby chic card to share with you.  I am using this weeks MOJO Skectch and what a lovely sketch it is.  I have made a 4.25" square card for this project.  And I'm using the lovely Spice Cake Designer Paper #124003.  Be sure and pick some of that up, it is one of my all time favs.  My design pretty much follows the skecth right down the line.  I have four rectangles, they are (clockwise) 1.25 x 1.5, 1.5 x 2.25, 2 x 2.25 and 1.25 x 2.  For my focal point I choose the Fun Flower Die Cut #121812 cutting it with my Big Shot #113439.  I just used the smallest flower but I cut two of them.  I curled them with a small pencil and added a crochet flower from Fleurettes II #115604.  Since it was Whisper White and I needed Very Vanilla, I got out my sponge and sponged it with some Very Vanilla Craft Ink.  Worked just fine.  It still needed a little something so I added one of our retired More Mustard buttons and tied a bow using our Early Expresso Baker's Twine #123124.  Adhered it with a big glue dot.  For my sentiment I chose our die cut called Lots of Tags #114508 and used the Stamp Set With All My Heart W118134 C118623.  The sentiment "Friend" just fit on there perfectly.  Oh, I almost forgot instead of using a leaf die cut I used our Swirls Scribbles #113441 die cut in place of leaves.  What do you think?  Cute huh. 

Now it's your turn.  This sketch is very versitile and you can basicly used any sentiment you want.  If you would like to make one of these shabby chic cards and are in need of supplies, please click on the link provided below.  I would love to by your Stampin' Up demonstrator.

Hello My Stamping Friends – Happy Friday To Ya. . .   Today I have a beautiful card to share that was cased from the front of our new catalog.  Isn't it just great.  The last few posts have been on the whimsy side but we are back in the groove with florals today.  The sketch is a simple one, just a couple of layers and then tilted to the side just a bit.  I was looking for the worn look so I did a little destressing.  My colors are Soft Suede, Early Expresso, Calyspo Coral and Very Vanila.  All the action takes place on the Very Vanilla.  The first thing I did was use our Jumbo Roller Very Vintage inked with Soft Suede, then I took our Fine Flourish Stamp and stamped the lower right edge, just for some contrast.  Next I used our Big Shot and the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder for the edge.  Then I took a sponge and sponged all around with Soft Suede to make it look old and dingy.  My stamp set is Field of Flowers inked with Old Olive and Calypso Coral.  Next I used my scissors and scraped my edges to make it look worn.  I also took out my Spritzer Tool with markers to make it look even more distressed.  My sentiment is from Three Little Words punched with the Word Window Punch and nested with a piece of Soft Suede punched with the Modern Lable Punch.

I hope you enjoyed my version of something old from the Victorian era.  If you would like to make this card and are in need of supplies please shop at my on line store open 24/7 for your convenience.  Just click on the link below.

Good Morning My Stamping Friends. . .  Yesterday I featured the cute little toddler birthday card using the embedding technique with circles.  Today I have a girly girl kind of card.  My card base is Poppy Parade matted with a piece of Whisper White.  I used our Polka Dot Embossing Folder on it.  Next is a layer of Pawsitively Pints DP.  For a little splash I punched a strip of Basic Back with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  My focal point was made with one of our cool tools, the Cupcake Punch that was featured in the Occasion Mini.  All you need to do is choose a really cute designer paper that you like, mine was Pawsitively Prints.  I used three of the oh so cute pattern papers and punched them with the Cupcake Punch.  For the top of my handbag I cut a 3/4" circle and cut it in half, then for the handle go back to the card stock that you just cut the circles from and insert your punch again about halfway up and punch.  This gives you the handle for your cute purse.  I added one of our Rhinestone Jewels.  If you have not tried them yet you are missing out.  The sparkle on these rhinestones is phenomenal.  My sentiment is from Touch Of Kindness from the Summer Mini, punched with the Large Oval and the Scallop Oval Punches.

Hi Everyone. . . thanks for all your comments, I'm glad to be back.  My computer has been cleaned and is feelin' good.  While I was away I did find time to make some cards, this takes a little bit of the stress off when I can work ahead.  Now for my card today.  My sketch is from Michelle Wooderson at Mish Mash.  My card base is Baja Breeze, matted with some Very Vanilla and my DP is the lovely Springtime Vintage.  Love it!!!!!!  The card is pretty simple.  I used our Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches to make my rectangle.  For those of you who do not know how to make a scallop box or triangle, check out the Stampin' Up UTube site.  I'm sure there are several videos for you to choose from.  Darn this would have been a great time to experiment with making videos.  I'm just a little intimidated when it comes to making these things.  It's something I need to work on.  Back to the card now.  My scallop border was made with my slit punch.  It is now retired and we have a new die cut with several designs on it.  Check that out.  My stamp sets are Sweet Summer and Tiny Tags.  For my small scallop I used the die cut from Birds and Blooms, the one inch circle punch nests beautifully with it.
