Hello Folks –  Happy Thursday To Ya.  Sorry I have been MIA for a few
days.  Things are hoppin around here right now.  Today I have a cute Easter Card to share with you.  My colors are Whisper White, Bashful Blue and my designer paper is Delicate Dots (retired). I used a couple of cool tools.  The Framelits Die Labels Collectiion.  What a great tool to have around.  I also used our Modern Label Punch and the Scallop Dotted Ribbon Punch.  My technique to color in my image is Color Pencils and Gamosol.  I add a little Diamond Glitter to jazz it up a bit.  My stamp set is Everybunny (W122705/C122707).  Is'nt it just the cutest.  I was concerned about my ribbon.  I didn't have the striped in Certainly Celery, so I used Wild Wasabi instead.  I think it worked ok, don't you.

Thanks for stopping by today and having patience with me.  If you are in need
of some Stampin' Up supplies please shop in my ON LINE STORE.   It's open
24/7 for you shopping convenience.  Have a wonderful day, I'm off to

Hello My Stamping Friends.  Happy Monday To Ya

Today is starting off looking beautiful out there. 
I'm looking forward to my morning walk.
Today I have another sneek peek of some of the new products
(Summer Smooches) that can be purchase during April. 
Stampin' Up is giving us a little peek of what we can expected to see
in this years new catalog.  Just as a
reminder our new Idea Book and Catalog is being released
a month early.  June 1st is the date.

This sneek peek includes a new stamp set (Bright Blossoms), deisgner paper,
fabric brads, frabric and a template just to name a few.
 

Get ready, come April Stampin' Up is going to knock your socks off. 
My card for today starts with a base of Naturals White.  This paper is new
for me and I'm liking it.  It is thicker than our smooth Whisper White. 
(Just be sure an ink your image up very well so you get good coverage when you stamp) 
Next is a layer of the new Summer Smooches Designer Paper.  I really like this one.
The pack is full of bright whimsy designs that put us in the spring and summer mood.
My little vase and flower is from the stamp set called Bright Blossoms.  It is
matted on a piece of Island Indigo and So Saffron.  Don't you just love
blue and yellow.  My prettie is some Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon (122330)
tied in a pretty bow.  For more pizzazz I added some of our
Dazzleing Details Glitter Glue (124117)   Love it !!!!!
I'm sure you recognize by now where my sentiment came from, yes
you guessed right Teeny Tiny Wishes (15370).  I know
you have heard me say time and again, it's a must have in your stamping
collection.  Oh, I used markers to ink up my stamp.  I have
problems with markers, they don't give me full coverage.  If anyone
has some pointers on this please let me know.  I have found that
I can go back with a blender pen and reinkers.  This gives me
another layer of ink and looks much better. 

Well that's it for me today, I hope you have a grand day.  The weather
sure looks good here for the moment.  Thank you for letting me
be your Stampin' Up Guru.  You can always shop at my
ON LINE STORE 24/7 or you can email me with your order if you
like that better.  I'm here for all your shopping needs.  Take care and until
next time.  Toodles

Hello folks. . .  Happy Friday!!!!!!
Today I have a card to share that I made several weeks
ago and didn't pos.  It looks very similar to the one I posted not too long ago. 
It's the same colors but a different layout.
As you probably know by now my colors are from Everyday Enchatment #126154,
our Sale a Bration Designer Paper Pack.  (It's FREE with a $50 order)
The colors are Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Whisper White. 
My stamp set is Awash With Flowers #120549 and that cute little
green leaf is a non SU die cut,  I just couldn't resist.  I used one of my Lacey Circle
Dies from nesties and matched it up with two coordinating circles.  You could
easily use our Scallop #2 Die Cut #113469 and two of our circle die cuts or punches.  I
was just in a lacey kind of mood that day.  LOL  My sentiment is from
Field of Flowers #122762.
My pretties are 5/8" Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon#114616 attached with a pretty brad
from the Everyday Enchantment Brad Pack which is also FREE with a product order.
If you have a $400 workshop you can have all three, the Designer Paper, the Organdy Ribbon and the pretty Brads.  Gather up some neighbors, family and friends and let's party.

I'm lovin' being your Stampin' Up Demonstrator.  Thank You.  If you would like to case this card or if you are in need of other great Stampin' Up products please shop at my On Line Store.  We are open 24/7.  PJs welcome.  If on line is not your cup of tea and you still want to experience great customer service please email, I would love to help you.

Hello Folks.  .  .  It feels like spring is in the air here in Missouri.  The trees are starting to bud and the tulips are a sproutin'.  On this sunny Monday morning I have a cute spring like card to share.  Some time back I bought a picket fence die cut.  I haven't used it for a long time but something was tellin' me to grab it yesterday. 

My card base is cut at 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25.  I used some new cardstock called Natural White (102316).  If you like a heavier cardstock to work with you must give this a try.  I'm really liking it.  My next layer is a piece of Pool Party and I embossed it with our Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117335) for a little pizzazz.  Next I cut a piece of Natural White 4 x 3.  Trimmed off the corners with our 3/16" Corner Punch (119871).  To make my clouds I used our 1 3/4" Scallop Circle (119854), randomly placed it and sponged with Pool Party.  Actually your are using the scallop as a mask.  Sponged three times to make three clouds.  You'll get a better idea from the pic below.

Next I stamped the floral spray from the vase stamp in Button Buddies (W122735/C122737).  Who would have thought of spring in a winter stamp set.  You gotta love it.  I used markers to ink up just the flowers (Melon Mango, and Old  Olive).  Attached my fence with dimensionals.  My sentiment is from a retired set called Touch of Kindness.  You know the one with the cute bird bath.  Added some  pretties.  3/8" Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and a butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. 

SNEEK PEEK ALERT — I'm getting some new goodies today.  Stampin' Up is releasing a sneek peek of some of the new products that will be available in the new catty which will be revealed June 1st.  . During the month of April you will have the opportunity to order these cute new products..  It includes a stamp set, designer paper, matching brads and more.  It's called Summer Smoochies.  I hope to have a sample to share with you tomorrow. 

Well that's all for me folks.  Thanks for stopping by.  I love being your go to guru.  LOL   You can place your order ON LINE or email me.  I love helping you shop !!!!!!  Take care folks, until next time.  Toodles

Hello Stampers. . .  welcome to SandiesKorner this Saturday morning.  If you have been following my blog recently you already know that I am preparing for a Tea Party at the end of this month and I only thought it was appropriate to have a couple of Mother's Day cards ready.  When browsing one day I came across this beautiful card using Stampin' Ups Bordering on Romance (W125480/C125482).  You can find it in our Occasion Mini on pg 11.  It doesn't look like much when you first see it, but WOW when you color it or paper piece it you will have a master piece, no doubt.   This card was totaly cased from the very talented Vikki Burdick from ItsAStampThing.  Thanks Vikki.

Now for the deets.  As I said the stamp set is Bordering On Romance.  My colors are Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Twipperpated Deisgner Paper Pack (125406).  My image was stamped on Shimmery White paper with Black Stazon and them colored in with my reinkers and blender pen.  Press gently so no pilling occurs on your paper.  Colors are Pretty In Pink, Rose Red and Old Olive.  The sketch is one that I use often.  If you look closely you will see that I used our Square Lattice Embossing Folder (119976) on the piece of NQN.   I love this embosing folder, it gives you the look of fabric.

My sentiment is from a retired set Well Scripted.  I use this set alot.  The font is so pretty and the words can be used over and over.  So sorry to see it retired.  Well we win some and lose some don't we.  For some added pizzazz I used our 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon (114616).  It's a must have in your crafting stash.   (TIP:  You can make this ribbon any color to match what you need by coloring it with your reinkers and a few drops of water or you can even use your markers)  Give it a try when you are in a pinch for ribbon.  The pearls are from our Basic Pearls Collection (119247). There are 150 pieces in a variety of sizes for you to choose from. 

Well that its for me today.  Looks like it might be another day outside.  I have a few plants that need to be repotted and my patio needs to be swept.

Good Morning To All. . .   Happy Friday.   Today I have this weeks MOJO Sketch to share.  I must admit this one was a little challenging.  I had the hardest time deciding on my colors.  As the end of the Stampin' Up year draws near I'm looking forward to some new designer papers.  How about you?

The colors that I finally ended up with are from the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Pack (122360).  It has some very nice colors like Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty In Pink Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White.  I thought that was a nice combo for Spring. 

My card base is a standard A2 card cut at 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25.  If you look closely you will see a new die cut called Paper Doily (125592).  It is a beautiful intricate cut doily, but I must admit can be a little challenging.  Well worth the effort though.  Experiment with your big shot sandwich,  Adding another shim (I used a piece of Whisper White) to your sandwich can be helpful to get a clean cut, also be sure that you cutting plate is not warped.  This die needs the same pressure thru out your sandwich.  Just a few things that I have found helpful.  But please DO NOT force your sandwich thru your Big Shot.  You don't want to break this expensive cool tool.

My stamp set is from Herb Expressions (W113224).  On the inside I used Bring On the Cake (W121899/C121958) and Delicate Doilies (W122590/C122592).  Delicate Doillies coordinates with the Flirtatious Paper.    My buttons are random and the ribbon is the 1/2" Polka Dot Melon Mambo Ribbon.  I turned it on the other side and tied my bow. 

There's just a few weeks left now to take advantage of this years Sale a Bration.  Place a $50 order and you will receive a FREE stamp set or accessory from the Sale a Bration Mini.  If you have misplaced your mini, you can click on my SAB button at the top of this blog and view what is available this year.  You don't want to miss out, the Designer Paper Everyday Enchantment is to die for!!!!!!!!

As you already know I have been working on projects for my Tea Party that is coming up soon.  Well gee whiz I have been browsing the book for several minutes now and can't find my stamp set The Open Sea.  I guess it is retired.  I should have remembered that.  Any who that is the card I have to share with you today.  I need masculine birthdays and this set was sitting right on top of my stash.  My cardbase is new paper for me, it's Natural White (102316).  It has that manly look, don't you think.  LOL  I jazzed it up just a bit by embossing the world image with Gold Embossing Pwd (109131) and heat tool (100005).  Next I put a layer of Cherry Cobbler cut at 1 3/4", topped it with a piece of Night of Navy 1/8" smaller and embossed it with our Stripes Embossing Folder (123128).  My focal point image is a piece of Cherry Cobbler cut at 3 1/4 x 3 3/4.  The next two pieces are Brushed Gold (102935) and another piece of Naturals White cut 1/8" smaller.  For the happy birthday I used an ole' favorite Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370).  That's current and a  must have.  LOL  It covers just about any occasion that you would need

.  

For my pretties I added four (4) Night of Navy brads from the Regals Collection (119737) and some 1/4" Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon (109036).

Hello Folks. . .  Happy Friday and welcome to SandiesKorner.  The last few days I have been working on my Swap Fronts for a Stamping Marathon that I am going to on Saturday.  As you know I have been playing a little with My Digital Studio and decided to once again use the stamp brush set Tea Shoppe for my card fronts.  You can view the MDS Catalog here.

It's a simple layout and I hope they all like it.  My colors are Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White and designer paper from Pocketful of Posies (122354).  On the bottom of my red piece (Poppy Parade) I used our Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402) and added some bling.  The bow uses a large white brad, you can use anything you choose.  It's called the Mary Brown bow.  The ribbon is our 5/8" Satin Ribbon in Marina Mist.  Looking at the book I don't see it, so it must be retired for now. 

Yesterday Stampin' Up introduced a new Cool Tool, the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (125586).  It coordinates with our Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).  If you enjoy making matching envelopes to your cards or like to make 3D projects this is the tool for you.

Bordering On Romance

Hello Folks !!   Happy Monday.   What a great day yesterday.  Chilli in the morn but it warmed up nicely.  I was able to get some needed yard work done.  Funny, that makes me so happy when I have a neated dressed yard.  LOL

I was even able to get some cards ready for my Tea Party.  I thought it probably was a good idea to get some Mother's Day cards ready.  My stamp set is the beautiful Bordering On Romance (W125482/C125482) found in the Occasions Mini pg 11.  Boy oh boy this needs to be on everyone's wish list, but don't wait to to long, the mini ends on April 30th.  My image was colored with "Prisma Color Pencils and Gamosol".  If you haven't tried pencils yet be sure and put that on your to do list.    I used our Scallop Circle #2 die cut (113469), nested with an Island Indigo 3" circle.  The focal point circle was cut with a nestie.  It measure 2 3/4 across.  My designer paper is the SAB Everyday Enchantment, FREE with a $50 purchase.  My strip is 1 3/4" wide and 4.25 long.  I used the Square Lattice embossing folder (119976).  One of my favorite cool tools.  My scallop needed some depth to it, it seemed to fade in the background so I used our piercing tool and mat pack.  My ribbon is Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding (122330) with a large white brad.  Added some tiny pearls for flower centers.

Just A Reminder –  The release of our new catalog is June 1st.  That means you will have until May 31st to check your supplies and order any of the retiring paper and ribbons like I used on my card today.  Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade with retire this year.  We will be getting a new set of In Colors when the catty is released.
