Happy Birthday Doily in Black and White

This is another card that we will make at stamp camp this month. I just love the new Doily stamps, don't you? I will post my ATC trade later where I used this same stamp set.

I saw a post on a Stampin' Up! demonstrator website with this card on it. So I googled and found her blog so I would have a link to show you here card. Thank you Lyssa for the great idea. I embossed the sentiment, all my dollies and sponged my paper daisy with basic Black ink (just enough so that it is not so white). I used a different sentiment and did not use the spritzer, but the Confetti white paper instead. I only wrapped my ribbon around once, but I like the twice also. And I did not put the pearls on my ribbon.
Here is my card:

Wish Big Pennant Parade Birthday card

Hi! Guess what? I am still alive and living in Summerville, South Carolina. I really apologise for not keeping up this blog better, and promised to make a much better effort.

Here is one of the projects for this months stamp camp. Yes, I am having a camp. The date is Monday, August 22, 2011 at 6:00 pm. Be sure to call, text or phone in your reservations.

I love this first card. I saw where someone had made a taller version and had a box attached, much like these I did last Halloween. I just made it much smaller. so that it would fit into a regular A2 (Stampin' Up! Medium) size envelope. No matter the size, I am sure you will have as much fun making this card as the person receiving does when they open it.

The Open Sea - flip flop card

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get these projects posted. This months stamp camp will focus on masculine projects since Father's Day is fast approaching us, but they are also designed so that they could be used for birthday, anniversary, thank you, or any other card giving occasion. This particular card is not that hard to do, even though it looks complicated. Here is a picture on one sample in the closed position. The sample posted below is opened. (When you open the ship's panel flips to the sentiment side).

Apron box holds recipe cards made with the "From the Kitchen of" stamp set

I found this cute apron box that holds the stamped recipe cards made with the "From the Kitchen of" stamp set, but now I cannot find where I saw it from to give credit. I did make a few changed to the box I saw. I changed the card stock and designer paper used, changing also the colors used. I added the flower brads instead of the jumbo eyelets for the neck ribbon, and changed the ribbon across the middle. I also added the eyelet top to the pockets and stitching around the pockets. I also left off the stamped image in the bodice area and the bow in the back.

Here are the boxes both Denise and I made, and some of the recipe cards that go inside. I am going to tweak the measurements since the box is wider than needed for the recipe cards and have my class make the smaller version. I will scan the smaller version and measurements next week, so check back.

Happy Stampin!

Sew Suite Mannequins card using Love Letter Designer Series Paper

I finally decided to order this stamp set, just got it in today, and here are the cards Denise and I came up with for this months Mother's Day/Feminine cards Stamp Camp. Now I love this set but I promise not to make my whole camp based on this set, even thought it would be sew easy to do. (ha! ha! I made a pun) I really love what we came up for the inside. I even added the pin cushion to my inside and painted the pin heads with the Moonlight Smooch. I know my "Hand crafted" on my tag is not as good as the "Love" Denise used for a Mothers Day card, but I already made my Mom's card, so this will be used for something else. I really liked the "Hand crafted" with the sewing set. I am also excited that this card was a perfect time to pull out the Tiny Trinkets.

The inspiration for this card came from a card made by Diana Ball, a fellow demonstrator. We made the following changes. We made our card Red and also added an extra panel using red on our card.  We left off the flower, changed the sentiment on the tag. We also used a different patterned paper on the bottom front, Denise changed the top panel also. Denise also folded back one corner at the top of the card. You notice we even put our red panels on different sides and used different papers for our mannequin's.

Felt Roses Napkin Ring made using the Table Setting Bigz XL die



Here is a napkin ring I made using the Table Setting Die, Isn't it fabulous??? What an elegant table you could have with a set of these napkin rings. Felt is very iinexpensive, so you could made a set for everyone on your shopping list and save a lot of money to buy more stamps!!!!  These roses are so easy. Our die even has a round tab at the end to use as a base to glue your rose together. I can't wait to try these roses on paper, and other fabrics. I'm wondering what fleece would do since it does not have the body that felt has, I will try it and let you know. Enjoy these roses.

Felt Roses card made with the Table Setting Bigz XL die

Here is a card I made using the swirl on the Table Setting Bigz XL die made for the Sizzix Big Shot exclusively for Stampin' Up! Click on the "Shop now" button to order or contact me. The white specks in the picture are actually sparkles I added using the Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer spray to the entire finished card I looks really cool on the rhinestones. This is a case of a card I saw on Stampin' Connection by  Donna Perger. I opted for a red card and a brown mat and added two large roses and a small rose, and did not use rose buds. The small rose was made using two of the smallest flower on the Blossom Party Original die. I simply snipped in between two of the petals and rolled. I glued this piece in the center of the other flower die cut at the same time. I also changed the roses to felt instead of paper. The small white flower was made with the smallest flower on the Boho Blossom punch. First I put the petal in the palm of my hand and using the end of my bone folder, I made small circles in the middle of the flower until it curled up. I then snipped between two of the petals to the center of the flower. I then glued one petal on top of the other which really makes the flower dimensional. I then added rhinestones in each flower and attached them to the card with mini glue dots. The Celery leaves are glued flat down. I took the larger Garden Green leaves and curved up the sides a bit also using my bone folder. You can also make beautiful roses with card stock and Designer paper. Have fun making these fabulous roses and check back tomorrow for a fun surprise!

Birthday Candle card made using the Table Setting Bigz XL die

My hostess today had asked me to do a project using the Table Setting Die, so this is the project that I used for their make and take. I have to give credit to Connie Babbert for this wonderful card. I saw several candle cards but I decided to case Connie's. You can view her card here.  I did change the colors, the Designer Paper and left off the bow on my ribbon and added the sentiment on the front of the card. I also used glossy white paper on this card. I used the
Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions folder on this card, but decided I like the Finial Press on a candle, so that is the folder they used today on their cards. I also used some scrap rubber in the center of my candle to make it stay rounded, then put sticky strip on the edges to hold them down. I sponged the flame first with Daffodil Delight then with Pumpkin Pie, the candle and oval for sentiment was sponged with Blushing Bride. I will be posting additional projects using the Table Setting die this week, so check back often. Happy Stampin'

His and Hers Precious Little Baby Booties

When my hostess for next Saturday asked if we could do the baby booties on page 78 of the current (2010/2011) Idea Book and Catalog, I must admit I was not overly excited about it. But not that they are done I must admit I really like them and wanted to post and share them with everybody. I decided to leave the strap off the boy bootie and use a ribbon instead of paper strap on the girls. I also added little embellishments on the front. Don't you just love the Vanilla Rosettes on the girl bootie? They are in our Occasions mini catalog, so you need to get yours before April 30, 2011. These little ribbon rosettes can be dyed with classic Stampin' Up! ink to create flowers that coordinate with whatever project you are working on.

Milk Carton Bird House filled with Jelly Bird Eggs

This is another of the fun projects we will be doing at this months stamp camp. I used the Milk Carton Bigz L Die (a Stampin' Up! exclusive die) to make the milk carton. I stamped the milk carton with the Woodgrain Background stamp before putting it together. I normally stamp just the birds feet on the front of the bird house before assembly, but since I forgot I just stamped it on a Crumb Cake scrap so I would not have to be so fussy about cutting it out. (actually I think Donna stamped it and Denise cut it out, since they were over when I was making the sample). I have been wanting to make this for a couple of weeks, but couldn't find the small Jelly Bird Eggs, I didn't want the large Jelly Beans. Anyway, the birds body was stamped on So Saffron, cut out and attached with a Stampin' Dimensional. To make the hole, fold up one bottom flap and punch. When assembling make sure the punched piece is between the top and bottom flap so it does not show. I only put adhesive on one side of the opening at the top, so this does still open like a milk carton. The roof is just seven rows of Chocolate Chip card stock punched with the Scalloped Edge punch and sponged.

Punch Art Bunny with Carrot

For Easter I just had to make this adorable bunny holding on to his beloved carrot. There are a lot of different punch art bunnies out there and I wish I could find where I saw this one so I could give credit. I did make a few changes in punches, opting to use the Boho punch for hands (paws) and the Little Leaves Sizzlet for the carrot top. I free handed the carrot and eyes. You cannot tell in the scan, but I put Crystal Effects on his eyes and teeth. Thanks for visiting my blog, leave a comment and let me know what you think of Mr. Bunny, also don't forget to click on "follow this blog".

Bird House Artist Trading Card

I am in a swap every month with a group of very talented ladies. We swap ATC's (Artist Trading cards). Just in case you are not sure want that is. It is a small 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" card. Our theme this month was birds, so this is what I came up with. You cannot tell on the scan, but I put Crystal Lacquer on his eye, I also used it on the roof. I have a small pearl inside the flower. The bird is sponged with White craft, then after dry with Chocolate Chip. I stamped the legs only on the bird house, then stamped the birds body on Daffodil Delight, cut out, sponged and added with a Dimensional. Looking at it now, I should have sponged the flower, Oh well, hindsight is 20-20. Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by. Stamp camp projects will be coming soon.

Shabby Nature's Nest Turtle card

I have had this little turtle quite a while and haven't had a chance to use him. But, when I saw Pat's  card using the Bison from the In Wilderness stamp set, I just had to pull my little turtle out and make this card. Beside changing the stamp set, I changed the colors and added a background stamp on the Olive panel. I am quite happy with it, what do you think?

Inspired Dryer Sheet Technique

One of my clubs wanted to do the dryer sheet technique, so this is what I came up with. When I thought about a muted look over a stamp Inspired by Nature (one of my all time favs) immediately came to mind. This picture doesn't show off the glitter, I really wish you could see that. I think this card will eventually make it into a stamp camp (maybe for Mother's day).

You will want to used a dryer sheet that has been used several times, you need it to be soft, not stiff. You can attach the dryer sheet with your Zyron, I tried that and spray adhesive and preferred the spray, (except for the order, you want to do this outside, or have a window open). I thought the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder added a nice touch to the finished card. I felt adding a sentiment, ribbon or other embellishment wasn't needed. Below is the list of supplies used for this project. I hope you enjoyed, Happy Stampin'

Elegant (Soiree) gift card purse

This cute little purse is actually not just a pretty purse, cut also a card, and a gift card holder. This is a cute, fun and fast little purse to make, and you can add anything to the front, but I was dying to use my Build a Blossom stamp set and coordinating Blossom Petal punch. Using the Big shot for the purse and purse handle and then a punch matching the flower petals, really make this card, unlike most of my cards, not labor intensive at all.

Extreme Guitar - great card for a teen or preteen boy

Here is the third card for this months stamp camp. This is a great card for a boy. I gave this to my 20 year old grand son for his birthday and he liked it, so in my opinion that means it passed the test. I cased this card from Stasia Sloma another Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I made the following changes: I embossed the stars with a Textured Impression folder, left off the brads and added my Happy Birthday sentiment cut apart and place on the textured stars.

Wish Big birthday card featuring the stamp set "Bring on the cake"

February's stamp camp will feature birthday stamps, because we always need birthday stamps don't we? I always have requests for cards for males. LeeAnn Greff had a great card on her blog that I used for my inspiration. I changed the colors, ribbon, Designer paper, and used the Build a brad on my ribbon. I think this is a great card for a man, and not the usual car or deer card. This is a new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog. I love this set, it has 13 stamps in the set and the price is unbelievable. Wood mount averages only $3.00 per stamp!, unmounted is only $2.15. What a great deal. You can order your copy here. This is only one of the four great cards you can make this month. I will be posting the other three soon.

Lots of Love Letterpress

I finally got out my Letterpress Plate and played with it, but as you can see once I started I could not stop. I used the craft spots as Stampin' Up! suggested, but at my class on Saturday we tried it with the Stampin' Write Markers and it worked great! My scans do not show it well on the first two cards, but it you look at card three, the embossed images are very deep. I think that next time I will add a shim. If you have any questions about our letterpress plates you can contact me or watch this utube video. You cannot hear Shannon talk, but you can watch her use the plates. We also have a plate covered with lots of little hearts. You can purchase both plates here. I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Petal Cone Bigz die Valentine heart pocket

I finally got this posted. I had taken a picture with my camera, but everytime I tried to post the picture blogger kept pulling it in sideways. We tried everything. Finally today, I thought, why don't I just scan it, and that worked. So anyway...

This is one the the projects for this months stamp camp. This is the new Petal Cone die (in the Occasions Mini catalog) that makes a four sided cone. It also die cuts the banner used. I just cut two, instead of four pieces to make this heart pocket. So easy and so much fun. Brenda Keenan, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator posted one similar (I made a few changes) on Stampin' Connection, an idea gallery for demonstrators only. Join my team and you can see all the beautiful creations made my Stampin' Up! demonstrators all over the world, and even post your own projects. I have it shown in two different papers, from the Love Impressions Designer paper pack offered in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I got the Iridescent decorative shredding and heart suckers from the Dollar Tree.

Valentine Defined Valentines Day Stamp camp project

Happy New Year! I pray you had a wonderful holiday season. I am sorry I haven't posted in so long, but I had health issues most of the month of December. Praise God this is a new year, and I am feeling so much better!

Here is one of the projects for my January Stamp. This is a fun card to make. I wish I could say it was my creation, but I cased the sketch from Ahelynck on Splitcoast stampers. If you are a member you can view the card here. I did make several changes. I changed the colors, left off the punched edge, changed the ribbon to the new pom pom trim. I did not put the Rhinestones on my butterflies and moved the sentiment to the bottom of the card (also changed the punch used) I left off one stamped image, leaving just the tree and sentiment. Thank you Ahelynck for the great card sketch. I love the tree with the hills and the Scallop Circle in the background.
