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.

Have a wonderful stamping day.  Toodles

Good Morning My Stampin' Friends. . .  Today I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you featuring some of Stampin' Ups cool tools.

ATTENTION:  Stampin' Up has announced that the Stocking Builder Punch in the Holiday Mini will NOT be carried over into next years catty.  If this is one of the punches on your To Get List, please note that you still have a few days left to place your order.  Quantities are limited, so I would not delay if I wanted this punch.

For my Valentine base I chose Cherry Cobbler (119685), matted with Basic Black (121045) and topped it off with Whisper White (100730).  I used our Perfect Polka Dot EF (117335)  for a little pizzazz.  Next I punched a Cherry Cobbler strip with our Lace Ribbon Border Punch (122362) and adhered it with glue dots.

My focal point has a lot of layers.  First I cut a rectangle 3 x 3.5 in Basic Black, then matted with a piece of new designer paper called Twitterpated* (125406) which will be available Jan 4th.  Next I used one of our lacy die cuts from the Flirtatious Designer Paper Stack (122360).  I also cut a 2.5" circle and mounted it behind the die cut.  This grounded the lacy circle so you could see it a little better.  Next I used our new Framelits from the Heart Collection* (125599). Boy, I am so happy to see Stampin' Up going in the right direction with these new Framelits.  The possibilities are endless, don't you think. 

My sentiment is from the stamp set With All My Heart (118134/ 118623) and punched with our Modern Label Punch (119849).  My pretty pleated ribbon is the new ribbon from the Occasions Mini called Riding Hood Red Pleated Ribbon* (125569).  Doesn't it just add the final little touch. 

I have several calendars left, please contact me soon if you would like one, they are going fast.

Thanks for stopping by today, if you are in need of Stampin' Up supplies  please considering shopping in my On Line Store.  It's open 24/7.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  The Holiday Mini only has a few days left and the Occasions Mini will be released on Jan 4th.  Boy the time is just flyin' folks.  Have a wonderful stamping day.  Toodles

Good Morning To Ya All. . .  Well I have one craft show done and one to go.  For all you locals I will be at St. Charles West this Sat. Dec 10th.  Today I have a craft fair project to share with you.  It's one of our die cut boxes called the Fancy Favor Die Cut Box (115965).  I decorated it to look like Santa's Suit.  It turned out darling.  My cardstock is Real Red (102482), Whisper White (100730), Basic Black (121045) and some of our new Silver Glimmer Paper (124005).  You can find the Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Mini.  The mini expires on Jan. 3rd, so place your orders soon.  My white strip was cut at 1 1/8" wide and I used my favorite punch, the Scallop Border Trim Punch (118402), santa'a belt was cut at 1" x 11" and for his buckle I first punched a square with our new 1" Square Punch (124094) the went back and centered the 1 1/4" Square Punch over my opening and punched again.  Viola' you have a perfect buckle.  Gotta love our punches!!!!!!  I finished it off with a 3/4" x 8.5 strip of Real Red for my handles and attached them with Red Brads from our Brights Collection (119740)

Hello Folks. . . Happy Thursday

First things first I want to wish Kayleigh a Happy Happy 13th Birthday.  Today I will be spending a lot of time getting ready for her special evening.

My card today is a Christmas one, boy it's not that far away, maybe six weeks.  Now is the time to be making your Christmas Card list and gettin' those supplies ready to go.

The card I have to share today is clean and simple using some of our new desiger paper called Frostwood.  I'm a plaid lover so I especially like this designer paper pack.  My card base is Cherry Cobbler matted with Whisper White.  My next layer is Garden Green punched with my fav the Scallop Trim Border Punch and matted with a Houndstooth paper from Frostwood.  Next is another layer of Cherry Cobbler and some more plaid.  My focal poin it a Scallop Circle, pick whatever size you like, I nested it with some circles.  My stamp set is Delicate Doillies (W122590/C122592), boy I bet you are thinking that's not a Christmas set, but it works pretty darn good, don't you think?  It kind of has a quilt look to it so I added some bling for a little pizzazz.  My sentiment is from Petite Pairs (W122495/C122497).  It sure does feel good to have a matching sentiment set.  Now we have words for both the outside and the inside.  Good job Stampin' Up. 

Now it's your turn.  I would love to see some of your creations.  I'm always looking for new inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed this down home Christmas Card and that it gets you in the mood to make some of your own.  I would love to be your Stampin' Up Demonstrator, so if you need any supplies or have any questions please contact me.  You can place your orders in my On Line Stampin' Store or I would love to place the order for you.  Just email me with your choices and away we go.

Good Morning Ya All.  Happy Thursday !!

Today I have a Christmas Card to share with you using the snowman stamp from Button Buddies

There are quite a few layers on this one.  My cardbase is Shimmary White, topped with a piece of Poppy Red DP from A Pocketful of Posies.  Next I pulled out a Baja Breeze piece from Pocketful of Posies  and mounted it on SW too.  I still have aother layer using a piece of Basic Black from the Neutral Designer Series Pater.  Now for the fun stuff.  For my pretty lacey circle I used a nestie but Stampin' Up now has a brand new die cut called Perfect Pennants that will work beautifully.  It's on my wish list.  LOL  I stamped my image on SW and nested it on a punched Basic Black circle.  For the red hat I stamped Mr. Snowman again in Poppy Red and cut it out with our Snips.  Easy Peasy!!!

For my sentiment I made a flag and stamped the words from Snow Much Fun.  Added a small flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch for some added pizzazzzzzzzzz!!!  I tied a bow with our 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon, placed a red button with our Cherry Cobber twine and tied another bow.

I'm still working on my medallions.  I hope to have them finished soon.  I have to decided on the size of the wreath.  I think I'm going with a 7" round.

Thanks for stopping by today.  It looks like it is going to be a lovely day here in ole' MO.  If you're in need of supplies please check the list below.  Until next time.  Toodles

Hello My Crafty Friends. . . .  Happy Friday.  Today I have a delightful card to share with you.  The stamp set is from the ever so cute Button Buddies W122735 C122040.  This card was totally cased.  I'm having trouble remembering who this belongs to, but I think her name is Anne Maire.  After all it was yesterday.  LOL  Forgive me if I have gotten this wrong.  It's a very cute design and just had to case it.  My colors are Early Expresso, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie.  Instead of using a button I used our embossing folder Square Lattice to give the pumpkins some texture and dimension.  My sentiment is a retired one called Thankful For.  I did stamp it with Craft Choc Chip ink  and embossed it with Clear and used my Heat Tool.  My ribbon is the 1 1/4" Striped Olive Green. 

If you too would like to case this card and need supplies, please shop at my On Line store.  It's open 24/7 for your shopping convenience.  This would also make a great Halloween card with the right sentiment.  I didn't have anything large enough.

Good Morning To Ya.  Today I have a fun project to share.  I'm
featuring a new product from the Holiday Mini.  It is the Holiday Stocking Bigz Die.  Oh so cute.  You can find it on
pg 24 of the Holiday Mini #124098.  It is just the right size to use as a stocking stuffer (candy canes, gift card, small goodies).
You can hang it on your tree or even your mantle.  I'm going to use them as gift card holders for my children this year. 

My colors are Cherry Cobbler, Shimmery White and designer
paper from the Frostwood Lodge designer paper pack.  You can also find that in the Holiday Mini on Pg 28.  If you are a plaid lover like I am Frostwood Lodge #124002 will be a must have.  There are many ways for you to decorate the cuff of this stocking.  This time I choose to use a new stamp set called Dear Santa W123832 C123834.  It is a small
set but packs a big punch.  I can't wait to make another one and use the new embellishments (Stitched Felt and Mini Jingle Bells)
on pg 30 of the Holiday Mini.

It's time to do some shopping and get your Christmas
giving gifts started.  What are you waiting for.  LOL

Hello There Folks.  Are you having a super duper morning?  Today I have my last Christmas Card to share, for right now anyway.  I fell in love when I saw the tall skinny snowman in Stampin' Ups new stamp set Snow Much Fun W122560 C122562.  My colors are Pool Party #122924, Not Quite Navy #101722 and Shimmery White Paper #1019010  for just a touch of sparkle.  I stamped him with Black Stazon Ink and used markers to color him in.  I tried something a little different this time.  I used Basic Gray for his hat and boots instead of Basic Black.  I think it gave him a softer look on the Pool Party background.  For his nose I also used a different color, Calypso Coral.  It worked just fine, don't you think? I wanted to use snowflakes for my background paper so I made my own.  If you have followed my blog you already know I love stamping my own background papers.  I choose to use Serene Snowflakes W115438. They are inked in Pool Party and Not Quite Navy. Did you notice the pretty blueruffeled ribbon.  Well that's our new In Color Ribbon.  Pool Party #122975.  You may not be able to see it in the picture but it has a little ruffle to it.  Just beautiful. 

We just finished up our first round of the Ribbon Share.  Click here for all the details.  If you would like to participate in a ribbon share with us, I would be happy to do another one.  I need (4) four participates before I can place an order.  Drop me an email if you would be interested.

Yesterday I posted Stampin' Up newest promotion for August.  It's back, buy 3 packs of designer paper and you get one FREE.  Click here for more details on how you can get a FREE Designer Paper Pack.

Good Morning. . .   I don't normally do round cards but after looking at some of this weeks MOJO Monday cards I decided it was time to make a round card.  Have you tried you hand at an Easel Card yet, well today I have a Scallop Circle Easel Card to share.  At my last stamp club I was lucky enough to be able to purchase several new stamp sets from the new catty and this is one of them.  It's called Polar Party #122677 and I thought it could be one of my Christmas Cards this year.  You can find instructions on how to make this card by just Googling "Scallop Circle Easel Card"  My colors are Whisper White, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy.  The sketch is this weeks MOJO Sketch.  I colored my image with SU markers (Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Pretty In Pink and Regal Rose.  Added some glitter glue for a touch of sparkle.  My sentiment is from Petite Pairs #122497.  Cool Tools are the Large Oval Punch $119855 and the Scallop Oval Punch #119856.  I also used the Snowflake Punch #119852 to dress it up even more.  The sketch called for a tag so I pulled out Tiny Tags #118592 and punched it with the Jewelry Tag Punch #117190.  My pretty ribbon is from the 1/2" Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon.  There you have it an easy peasy cute Christmas Card with a shape that will WOW the person who receives it. 

Now it's your turn, if you would like to make this card and need some supplies please click on my Shop Now and shop at my On Line Store.  I would love to see you creations.  I will post them on my blog to share with everyone.
