Happy Birthday!

My mom's birthday was on the 20th so I made her a fun card using the new build a cupcake punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog and the Create a Cupcake Stamp set.  It is a fun punch and a fun stamp set.  If you would like to order your own email me or go to my website.  www.kimberlym.stampinup.com

 The card is a case from the Occasions Mini Catalog which is a perfect example of how awesome Stampin' Up's catalogs are for ideas.  I changed up the ribbon and some of the colors.  I also used textured card stock.  The colors are Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Chocolate Chip.

Big Shot!

I created some fun candle holders for our neighbors for Christmas using the Big Shot Snowflake die and Coke cans!  I cut the can open using my craft and rubber scissors (be careful the can will be sharp).  I laid the open can onto the big shot, created my sandwich adding a piece of cardstock for shim and ran it through.  The snowflake comes out smooth and safe to handle.  I layered two using glue dots. I attached a tea light candle with a glue dot as well.

You can get a different look by spray painting the snowflakes or even running them through the big shot with an embossing folder.  It was a very fast and easy project!

My Digital Studio Calendar

I do have to say that I am loving this program more and more.  Each year I create a calendar for my family highlighting the past year with my boys.  My mom and mother in law have kept all the calendars from the past years.  This year I really got familiar with my digital studio and created a fun calendar as well as our Christmas Cards.  Once I get my computer back up and running I will try to post the Christmas Cards...until then here is the calendar we created!  It was a lot of fun to make!!!  We printed it at home on our printer and it came out great.  Stampin' Up! also prints them for you as well.

Out of the loop...

Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I apologize to my readers out there. I will try to do better. I do have to say life is crazy with a homeschooled 1st grader and a 6 month old baby. They are cute though, not that I am biased.
