Thanks for your visit!

Looks like candy!

This was one of the cards we made today, at our monthly card class. It was a hit!

I LOVE this card!

This was designed by Stampin' Up!

As a demonstrator for Stampin' Up, we have a wealth of information on the Demonstrator site.

There is Demo project sharing on the Stampin' Connection, as well as videos that Stampin' UP! produces for us. I LOVE the videos.

This was a card I made from watching one of those videos.

I have had this stamp set, AWASH WITH FLOWERS-page 99, since last April, I believe, and NEVER inked it up! I know I will be using this set more now. I love how easy it is to use. It's a 2-step stamp set, meaning you can stamp an outline image, then, come in with color on a solid, matching stamp.

You CANNOT make a mistake with this kind of fun stamping!

For this card, I just used the line image, then, used rich razzleberry in on a sponge dauber for the center part, then, used a sponge with pretty in pink for finish out the edges.

The dazzling diamonds just finishes off the whole thing!

It looks good enough to eat!

LOVE IT!

Awash With Flowers - Clear-Mount Stamp 120549 $27.95

Two-Step stamp your way to a basket-busting bouquet of beautiful blooms with our Awash with Flowers set. Soft shapes and subtle lines imitate the watercolor-like quality of a field abundant with graceful petals and delicate stems, giving your projects a light, lilting look of nature. Available both in wood-mount and clear-mount.

Thanks for your visit!

...I am pretty much black and white...

...That's what my cousin in Albuquerque said, when she emailed me thanking me for the pretty pink birthday card I had sent her. So, when I designed this card, I had her in mind. {Hi, Pam!}I'm sending this to her, after my class on Saturday, the 2nd. hehehe
She'll LOVE it!
This is one of the cards I'm teaching the ladies to make. An introduction to the wonderful world of embossing!
I don't think the picture shows that the little girl is done in black embossing. There are also tiny rhinestones on either end of the sentiment.
I'm also going to show them how to use Stampin' Up!'s scallop border punch to make the black scalloping around the oval.
That is so easy!
I first cut a 3/4" x 11" strip of the basic black cardstock. Then, I used the scallop border punch for the whole length. Then, hold your bone folder and run your paper across it two times on both sides, to break down the papers fibers, so, it's easier to work with. Run red sticky strip tape around the back edge of the oval.
Now, take your scalloped piece and snip it, very carefully, under each scallop--on the flat side.
You will only need to snip up to about an 1/8" or so.
Play with your paper, before adhering it to the oval piece, by folding and forming the scallops a little at a time. Sorry I don't have a picture for you. But, once you do this, it will make sense and you will have a pretty scalloped border to use for either a circle or oval piece.
I'll show the other projects over the next few days.

You can order this stamp set, and any of the other products I used for this card on my website. Click the link at the top of the page. This stamp set is in the Occasions Mini, that is only good through April 30.
The sentiment is from NOTABLY ORNATE, from the big book, on page 125.
 I ♥ both of these sets!

March 2011 Workshop Projects

Here's what the girls made for the March 2011 Workshop. They had their choice of the green St. Patricks Day card. I'll have to dig to remember where I CASE'ed the shamrock/flower card...I wanted to show how to use the 2-step Bird Punch in a different way. I think I'll have a class with that punch, like I did with the 2-step Owl Punch...that one was a HIT!

That's all for now....

Thanks for your visit!

2010 Christmas Card

Here is one of the Christmas Cards I made for 2010.

I LOVED making these and everyone that received them really seemed to love them, too!
I always make an effort to watch 'Charlie Brown's Christmas' show each year. I love it!
It gets me when he finds that lil tree and says "I think it needs me!"

Here is my inspiration.
I ♥ MY PUNCHES! Go get you some on my Stampin' Up! STORE Website! And, don't forget to check out the CLEARANCE RACK, while you are there!

Don't forget to leave me a comment *from the FIRST POST on this page* for your entry into the BLOG CANDY.

BIG on Christmas

This card is what the CLUB did this past Saturday. I have had this stamp set since *gasp* last year and never inked it up at all.
This is a card I saw online, and don't remember who made it. If it is yours, please let me know and I will give credits.

I inked the jumbo roller, JOLLY JINGLES, with MARINA MIST onto MARINA MIST cardstock. The BIG ON CHRISTMAS image was stamped on WHISPER WHITE cardstock with STAZ-ON ink twice. The snowman was cut out and popped up with a DIMENSIONAL. The letters were colored with a MARINA MIST marker, and the snowman was done with other colors. I used a strip of STICKY STRIP under the image and sprinkled some of the CHUNKY GLITTER, pressed down with my finger. *LOVE this stuff!* The image piece was layered onto REAL RED cardstock. I put a cute knot bow, with BLUSHING BRIDE 1/2" STITCHED POLY RIBBON, around the card front and used DIMENSIONALS to pop the image piece over the ribbon.

Now, if it would just SNOW! We are Sooooo dry here. I don't know when Sunrise Ski Resort will get to open, and our forest sure could use the moisture. I would be surprised if we had a 'White Christmas' around here, but, you never know...

Are you surprised about snowing in AZ? LOL We live in the Apache Sitgreaves Forest area, at 7100' elevation, on the AZ/NM border. LOVE it here......it is definitely NOT desert here!

Busy, busy!

Well, I am so busy, that crafting isnt lookin' good for today...or for awhile, either. I am finishing up laundry and have to deliver Avon, and get an SU Club order finished. I am leaving town again until mid-week of next week! ACK~
So, I'm showing you a photo of a card my monthly card group made a bit ago, with one of the Summer Mini stamps, the Motorcylce stamp...love this! This card is pretty self-explanatory, but, if you have questions, leave me a comment. I did start with an 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card piece and just scored and folded it at 2 1/8". I beleive this is called a gate fold card. When you are attaching your image piece, just make sure and only adhere to one side.

Patriotic Card Idea..

This was a card we did at the May Card Class. This is a basic Red, White & Blue card. There is plenty of room for 'tweaking' it for more embellishments. On darker cardstock cards, I always have something white on the inside to write on...usually, it's a top note {I♥}.

Another Card Class card...

Isn't this a cute watermelon card?

I case'd this card from someone online--if you know who did it or if it's yours, please let me know, so, I can give you credit for this idea.

This was a bit of a detailed card, but, the ladies enjoyed it.

If you are a visual person, most of the card is self-explainatory.

The black seeds on the front of the card were made with the word window punch, and trimmed at an angle to get two seeds from one punch. Make sense?

On the small inside watermelons, I trimmed a red 1" circle down a tad to layer onto the white.

I LOVE this card!

I found the pattern online a couple years ago and finally got around to making one! The girls loved it! Some put the bikini bottom on the very back of the card.
