Christmas In July Stamp a Stack

2011-07-25T14:15:00.000-07:00

I have not completely stopped stamping....just taken a small break. I have a little guy that likes to run off with my reinker bottles. :) I am having a stamp a stack on Saturday as well as a new catalog open house. The cards below feature new products, the pennant punch, Polar Party Stamp Set Old Olive Ruffled Ribbon and Real Red taffeta ribbon. RSVP is needed by July 28 to ensure a spot. We will be stamping 2 each of 5 different cards for $20.

New Page....

2011-04-13T14:03:00.000-07:00

I have added a new blog just for my digital crafting pages....go check it out....there will be pages that are all Stampin' Up! and there will be pages that have a mixture of SU! and other designers. I love the versatility of My Digital Studio (MDS). It is so fun that I can download other kits and incorporate them into my pages. I am learning a lot and hope to share them with you as I go along....I promise I have not forgotten the stamping and paper crafting part of Stampin up! It is just harder right now with a very, very active 9 month old in the house to get into the craft room. He likes to eat paper, cords and well anything he can get his hands on. Happy Crafting to you all!!

http://digitalscrapbookingwithkimberly.blogspot.com/
I labeled it digital scrapbooking since that is mostly what I have done with MDS but I hope to have other designs up there as well.

My Digital Studio!

2011-03-09T12:00:00.000-08:00

I can't begin to tell you how much I love, love, love this program. I love the ease of grabbing my laptop and creating memories with my pictures. The fun thing about My Digital Studio (MDS) is that it isn't just digital scrapbooking! You can use it for your blog, calendars, journals, sales flyers, labels, place cards, home decor and so much more....the possibilities are ENDLESS with MDS! Here is another sample of what I have created using MDS.

A sweet lady named Melissa Hanson had created a page like this in a 12x12 format and I had to CASE her idea. (Copy And Share Everything). I love the black and white with a splash of yellow. If you want some fun ideas for the MDS go to www.mydigitalstudio.net and see what others are making and talking about!

If you want to learn more about MDS and how to use the program come join me March 14 at 7pm. I will have my laptop hooked to the TV again for all to see what I am doing with MDS. RSVP is needed by March 12.

I will end with one final page that I created of my sweet baby boy!

Stamp a Stack

2011-03-08T14:39:00.000-08:00

This past Saturday I held a stamp a stack! We did the not so typical cards.....baby, wedding, graduation, male birthday....the harder to think of cards.

Here is what we stamped!

This first card is a case from a fellow stamper. It uses Chocolate chip, Certainly Celery, Marina Mist and Baja Breeze. The Monkey is from Fox and Friends, the greeting is from teeny tiny wishes.

This card was inspired by many I saw online....it uses Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler. The stamps used are Seeing Stars and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

This fun card uses the Build a Blossom set and punch. I found it hard to punch the petals and not waste paper....got to be a better way. This card, if anyone knows my stamping, is way out of my comfort zone. I actually like the look of it and the way the flower came together.

Male Birthday Card

This was a hard card to put together. I struggled with the colors. I used Crumb Cake and Whisper White. The cupcake was colored with Daffodil, Chocolate and Cherry Cobbler.

This card is very simple and elegant using the Medallion stamp and Teeny Tiny wishes. Colors used were basic black and real red.

I hope you can join us at our next stamp a stack in April!! Happy Stamping!

My Digital Studio...Card

2011-02-21T19:24:00.000-08:00

I have been playing around with all the features of MDS lately and have really enjoyed the fact that it is NOT digital scrapbooking. It can do so much more! Here is a fun card I created using MDS. The stamp set featured comes from our Saleabration disk which you can get FREE when you spend $50! If you decided to purchase the MDS program you can get this fun disk full of the images and embellishments found in the Saleabration brochure! The colors I used were Basic Gray and Pink Pirouette.

My Digital Studio...Enjoy Every Moment Layout

2011-02-20T19:23:00.000-08:00

I am falling in love with My Digital Studio! It is so fast and easy to put together a page or even a full project. I found a cute, cute page by a lady name Justine on the Soul Scrappers website and decided to change it up and make one similar. Her layout was 12x12 and was pink, mine is 8.5 x 11 and Night of Navy/Bashful Blue.

You can see her layout here. Here is my version of it....

I am hosting a FREE class in my home on Friday, February 25 at 7pm on the basics of MDS. Email me or give me a call if you would like more information!

Cupid!

2011-02-02T17:15:00.000-08:00

Technique Thursday is February 10 at 7pm. We will be using punches and the big shot to create fun projects. One of the projects will be a punch art Cupid!

I got the idea for this super cute guy from a very talented punch artist Ellen Kemper. Thank you Ellen!

Email me today to RSVP for this class. Cost for the class is $10 or $5 with a $25 order.

Happy Punching!

Inlaid Embossing!

2011-02-02T17:08:00.000-08:00

I found this awesome technique online and just had to case the card! I copied the card exactly minus the sentiment and ribbon. The colors I used are Basic Gray, Real red and Whisper White. I sponged the big heart with Basic Gray ink to add dimension.

Here is a close up of the heart inlaid in the paper. I put a bunch of hearts on Whisper White cardstock and then ran it through the big shot with the lattice embossing folder. It provides a really cool technique.

I am doing a couple of workshops this week and I create a fun Valentine box to go along with the card. I used hearts to decorate the box like the card.

I created a second box using the Love Impressions Designer Series Paper and the three heart punch!

Top of the box!

Happy Stamping!!

Happy Birthday!

2011-01-25T19:28:00.000-08:00

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!

2011-01-24T19:04:00.000-08:00

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.

Bottom showing a Diet Mt. Dew and Diet Coke can

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

2011-01-23T19:04:00.000-08:00

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...

2011-01-23T16:58:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-08-09T10:38:00.000-07:00

There isn't much stamping going on right now...just feeding, changing diapers, sleeping and homeschooling my almost 6 year old. Caden Thomas was born on July 11th, 2 weeks early! He weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20 inches long. He spent some time in the NICU for breathing issues but is now home and doing great! We are still adjusting to life as a family of four. I hope to be back on the stamping wagon very soon....just need to get more than 1 hour of sleep at a time. It takes a lot for little man to maintain those chins!!

Punch Art Class! June 17th!

2010-06-11T13:47:00.000-07:00

Come join me on June 17th for my last class till September!! Baby will be here in 5 weeks so I am taking a break. Class is $10 for three cards....

Punch Bug!

This cute card came from Heather Sumners punch class. Another fun card for a coach or Dad that loves baseball.

Finally are these cute fish made using the ornament punch. This card was cased from one I saw on SCS. I left the greeting off, but this would make a fun birthday or anniversary card.

Please RSVP by June 15th if plan to attend so I can cut paper and get it all ready!! I hope to see you there!

Happy Punching!!

Birthday Card Stamp a Stack

2010-01-30T18:49:00.000-08:00

I am back, I hope!! I have to say the months of November and December got crazy for my family! My son finished up his first season of soccer, we had my sister and her family come for a visit, found out we are expecting baby number 2 in July, an emergency trip to VA to visit a sick family member, and then a fun filled family vacation to Disney World! We are happy to back home and getting into a routine again.

My first class for the new year was a birthday card stamp a stack! We created 5 different fun designs!!

This first one is my favorite! It is a case from another talented stamper. I used the Greetings Earthling Stamp Set and Whimsy Wheel. The Circle Scissor Plus was also used for the plant.
Colors used were: Summer Sun, Real Red, Brilliant Blue and Pumpkin Pie!

This next card is another case that makes a fun man card. I know it is hard to come up man cards and this one is so simple. I used Basic Gray as a base. Dusty Durango and So Saffron make up the stars.

The hippo card is one I saw on SCS and fell in love with. I used the Polka Dot Background Stamp set as well as Pun Fun! Colors were Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Gable Green

This card was one of my own created from many other inspirations. I used the Sizzix Top Note Die, Soft Suade Ribbon and Chunky Glitter. Stamp Set is Crazy for Cupcakes!

The final card is another case! Thank you to the wonderful stampers that have given me so much inspiration! I love the colors here: Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive and Pale Plum. Stamp Sets are Flight of the Butterfly and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Stay tuned for more projects! I have a Valentine Stamp a Stack on Saturday! Samples coming tomorrow hopefully!!!

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Card Stamp a Stack

2009-10-05T07:39:00.000-07:00

Here is another card for November's Stamp a Stack. This card features the new ornament punch and Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper. The ornament has a fuzzy feeling to it...very neat paper. The stamp set is Baroque Motifs. Colors are Real Red and Always Artichoke.

Technique Tuesday!

2009-10-04T17:26:00.001-07:00

This month we will be creating a Marquee Card, Ghosting, and using the Baby Wipe Technique.

The Marquee Card idea came from the fabulous Jan Tink. I love how the card opens up to the grand image inside. Despite its appearance the card is rather simple and fun to create. This card features the cute Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set

The second technique we will be doing is ghosting. This is a perfect time of year for this technique even though there is nothing scary about it at all. This card uses the set Scary Skeleton.

The third card is still in the workshop being created so stay tuned to your computers for more!

Hello Baby!

2009-09-15T07:52:00.000-07:00

Hello Baby! I created this fun spinner card for a sweet friend. She is not finding out the gender of the baby so I went neutral with celery. The background of the card is a retired favorite of mine Monkey Business. The monkey was done using punches and spins on a penny. How cute is he? I smile every time I see this card.

The monkey was created using Circle punches (1 3/4, 1 3/8, 3/4, and 1/2) as well as the small oval and hole punch for the eyes. He is a lot of fun!!

Check out my online punch class if you would like to receive more fun punch art! September features back to school punch art: School bus (free), scissors, glue, crayons, cheerleader etc...

2009-08-27T21:44:00.000-07:00

I am a little late tonight but I have a card for you!! :)

Here is the third card that was created for this weeks punch class. If you missed the class and are interested in the make up class please let me know and I will be happy to get that information to you. We created the grill, school supplies and an ice cream sundae.

I got the idea for the grill here. Everywhere I googled the grills were red and red was not working for me. I used our new in colors Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo as well as Basic Black. How fun does this look as an invite for a Labor Day BBQ!!

Well....stay tuned for more punch art....Frankenstein and a couple of Pilgrims are coming soon!

2009-08-26T14:23:00.001-07:00

The stamp set used is a retired (**gasp**) Sale-a-bration set that I have for sale! The inside of the card says "on the birth of your beautiful baby".

I also created a Tinkerbell that I saw on Rubber Stamping Diva's blog. Pictures of her will be coming soon...didn't want y'all to fall out from three posts in one day, I will stick with two. My new goal is to try to post a project daily during the week, no promises on the weekend. :-)

Till tomorrow! Happy punching!

Christmas Card Stamp a Stack Part 2

2009-08-26T14:04:00.001-07:00

Here are the final two cards we will be creating for September's Stamp a Stack of Christmas cards!

I saw this card on splitcoast stampers by KG Clements. I had to really use my imagination to see the Christmas tree at first but it is pretty cool use of the Inspired by Nature Stamp Set. The "ornament" is created using the level one hostess set Holiday best. You can get this set by hosting a $150 or more workshop!

This second card is inspired by a similar card I found online. I tweaked it to my liking and this is how it turned out. I used the small star punch to create the wreath. I love, love this striped ribbon. I have it in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive, thinking about getting the rest of the colors, it is that fun!

Back to School Class!

2009-08-06T13:52:00.000-07:00

Stampin Up! has an awesome promotion going right now for kids or just the kid in you! Check out my website: www.kimberlym.stampinup.net for more details. In honor of our kiddos I am going to be having a Back to School Class on Monday August 17th at 7 pm . We will be creating a fun back to school memory book. It will document happenings at the beginning of school, through the year and at the end as well. The cost for the class is $15. I got the idea for this class from a fellow demo, Stamp with Heather. She did the same type class in 2007. Below you will see some samples of the pages we will be creating...once complete the book will be bound using the Bind It All Machine.

A place for a first day picture!

Fun facts for the first day

If you are a homeschooler like myself let me know and we can adjust the pages to fit a homeschooler as well. :) RSVP by August 10th.

I am still alive! :)

2009-08-06T13:37:00.000-07:00

I promise I have not fallen off the face of the planet. The move, trip to VA, unpacking and now homeschooling Cooper have kept me busy. I have not stopped stamping though! Here are a couple of cards that I have created lately.

July's Punch Art Class consisted of Bert, a turtle, and a tractor. I found my inspiration for all of them on Splitcoast. If you missed the class and wish you could have made it then contact me about having your own punch it up workshop in your home with your friends. :)

A New Ink On Life gave me the inspiration and idea for this card. I used Brilliant Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive for his background. The head is done using the Sizzix Scalloped Oval Frame.
A lot of fun to create. I think I am going to try Ernie next so be on the look out for him!

My cute turtle! If anyone knows me well I have stepped out of my comfort zone with the color pallet. I love the new designer paper we offer, this one is Cottage Wall. The turtle was modeled after many seen on blogs and splitcoast. A fun and cute card using Rich Razzelberry and Orchid Opulence.

Lastly is my John Deere Green Tractor! Again, Glorious Green is not a color I normally use but did this time around. I actually used this card for our new neighbor who celebrated his 6th birthday this past week.

This last card is from my monthly demo swap. Our color was glorious green and I really struggled with this color. I added in our new in colors Crushed Curry, Rich Razzelberry and Melon Mambo. The idea for this card came from Splitcoast.

Happy Stamping Y'all! :)

We are moving!!!

2009-06-29T14:32:00.001-07:00

If you have been following my blog and noticed a lag in up loads...well we are moving and it has been a crazy ride. To maintain my sanity I created some fun moving cards to let family and friends know our new address. I created one simple quick design and then another more involved design. I had a lot of fun playing with this stamp set.

The simple design

I stamped the moving stamp from Loads of Love accessories in versa mark all over the kiwi cardstock. The only difference in the two simple versions is the ribbon. Under the brown strips I had printed from the computer our new address and names.

This version is a fun pocket card!!

As you can see when you pull the card out it has our address and the fun people from All in the Family! As you can see this version took a little longer to create. I think I only made 10 of these and 2o of the other version.

I hope to be in my new stamp room and stamping again very soon but until then.....

Happy Stamping!!!

2009-05-14T14:17:00.000-07:00

I am loving my punches (I think I have said that before)!! I saw this adorable card while I was at convention last year. It was created by Robin Govier of Alberta, Canada! I am glad I took a picture of it! It was super easy to create, but messy with the glitter everywhere.

The sand castle is done with Kraft paper, spiral punch and word window punch. The shovel is created with the tag punch, 1 1/4" circle punch and the 3/4" circle punch.

We will be creating this card on Thursday, May 28th at my punch it up Thursday class. Come join us!! RSVP by Tuesday May 26th! Cost is $10 and you are creating 3 projects and instruction cards for the punch art!

I got the tutorial from: Stampin Hands. You can learn how to make this card and two other awesome cards on Tuesday, April 21st at 7pm. RSVP by Monday to attend please!

I used the new Occasions Mini Set "Choo, Choo" and the "Right on Track" wheel along with Loads of Love Accessories. You just pull the tab to get the train "moving".

Technique Tuesday!

2009-04-14T13:34:00.001-07:00

Here are two of the three cards we will be doing on Tuesday, the third is still on the drawing board. The third card is a double slider, super cute but needs a little more detail. The double slider card uses the new Occasions Mini Set Choo choo and Right on Track stampin' wheel!

We will be working with Stampin' Up!'s bead duos to create this cute Pick a Petal Card. This is one of my favorite color combinations: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Tangerine Tango!

This is a cute 3x3 card that you will get to make 2 of using our sticky cuts and glitter!
We are using the sticky cuts sweet which has flowers, butterflies, words, hearts and more!
For this butterfly I used a craft knife to cut the middle out and pour turquoise glitter on, the wings have pink chunky glitter.

Pampered Stamper

Please RSVP by April 17th!

A tote bag!

2009-04-10T14:11:00.001-07:00

I found this fun tutorial for a Tote Bag using 6x6 paper and thought I would give it a try using 12x12 paper. You can make your own gift bags, thin ones but still very simple to create!
You can see the tutorial on Paper Pusher's Blog

I used retired DSP from the holiday mini to create this bag. It was the most neutral paper that I had that would look good as a bag. I used our jumbo eyelets and whisper white grosgrain ribbon!

I had to make some adjustments to the bottom as far as taping it closed but overall I just followed her instructions. You could try any size paper... 8x8, 4x4, 2x2....possibilities are endless!

Punch it up Thursday! April 30th!

2009-04-10T13:24:00.000-07:00

Aren't they cute?? Here are the three cards we will be doing on Thursday, April 30th. We will be creating a purse, a tea cup, and a cute ducky. If you would like to join us please RSVP by April 27th so I can prepare. If you would like to join us but Thursday's do not work for you let me know and hopefully I can arrange a second day for Punch It Up, if there is enough interest!

Cute Welcome Baby Card!

I will be happy to admit I completely cased this adorable guy and even the layout from a fellow splitcoaster Rochellelee. She had a piece of fabric that inspired her to create this guy. I did change up the colors and greeting. He is the cutest punched duck I have seen!

A cup of tea and a sweet friend!

This is an original. I searched everywhere for ideas for this card. I got ideas from many sources for the layout and cup design but all in all it is my own idea!! YAY! I love it when I can create my own ideas. It is fun to case but there is something satisfying when you can make it your own.

Happy Mother's Day!

Again this is an original, a combination of many ideas that I saw online. The layout was found on splitcoast and the purse on a blog. I love the extra detail the pearl adds to it.

I hope you can come join me on April 30th for Punch it Up Thursday! If you can't make it or want to learn more about punch art...schedule a workshop with me centered around punches!!! It could be a lot of fun!

Happy Stamping!

What I have been up to?!?!?

2009-04-01T19:26:00.000-07:00

I have been neglecting you wonderful people for a week now...and here is why!! We have decided to move up to a bigger house. In order to do this we have to renovate a little....the biggest change has been painting and decluttered the stamp room!

Here it is before!! It was originally the nursery, so it is baby blue. Baby blue is NOT a fun color to paint over. It took two coats to cover it all.

The tape is up!!

First roll of paint!!!

WOW!!! The difference!

AFTER!!! WOW!!! The room feels so BIG!

Some stuff is back out...but some stuff is not

Punches are back up!!

Catalogs: 1999-2009. If you have older, I will buy them from you!!!

Ink pads...

STAMPS!

My awesome FREE desk.

I put a lot of my stuff in the closet. It isn't very functional but for selling the house it will work for now. :-)

I hope to be able to stamp some in the next few days! I am missing my stamping time!

Technique Tuesday!

2009-03-22T20:03:00.000-07:00

I had a lot of fun coming up the cards for March's class. Our next class will be on April 21st at 7pm, come join us and bring your friends!!!

Quilt Card

I have seen these cards on splitcoast and various blogs but had not tried it yet. I decided it would be a fun technique for March's class. The squares were done using the paper pack from the level 1 hostess incentives. We punched them using the 1 1/4" square punch and layered onto a piece of white cardstock. I then ran it through the big shot using the Top Note Die. We used the basic black marker to give it some "stitching" The stamp set used is our level 1 hostess set Comfort Foods, a perfect one for this card. Colors used were pink pirouette, basic gray, regal rose, so saffron and whisper white.

The second card we created was Faux Cloissonne. It was a very simple technique. We used the Fifth Avenue Floral and stamped it onto a page of a magazine using Versamark ink. We then covered it with gold embossing powder, heated and cut out. A very neat looking technique.

I used pages from a diving magazine that was in the mail.

The final card technique came from my monthly Stampin' Success Magazine. If you would like access to this media give me a call or email me about the amazing opportunity of being a demonstrator.
The technique is called a Hinge card. The base of the card is 4.25 x 5.5. We then attached the bottom piece to the top and glued down the designer paper. You don't want to tape down the top piece or it won't move. The movement comes from the brad that is adhered to the top and bottom pieces.

Stamp set was Cheep Talk, colors were Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Ruby Red and Old Olive. The designer paper is Sweet Slumber.

If you would like more information on the cards seen send me an email and I will be happy to share with you!!! Also if you would like to join me next month let me know the Sunday before the class. Next month we will be creating a double slider, working with glitter and.....come and see!

Cute Treat Purse!

2009-03-11T21:27:00.000-07:00

I am so excited about this creation! I got my idea from Crazy Stamp Girl. Her owl purse was too cute and I had to try my own. The bear was created using almost all of my circle punches.
Head: 1 1/4" circle in Chocolate chip
Ears: 1/2" circle in Creamy Caramel
Eyes: 1/4" circle in Whisper White
Snout: 3/4" circle in Creamy Caramel
Nose: 1/4" circle in Basic Black
Body: 1 3/4" circle in Chocolate Chip
Belly: 1" circle in Creamy Caramel
Hands: 1/2" circle in Creamy Caramel
I sponged the caramel pieces with chocolate chip ink. I used a distresser for the body and head to make him appear more fuzzy. The eyes, mouth and claws are done using the basic black marker.
The inside opens up with Velcro and a cute saying using our Sizzix Naturally Serif Alphabet and Under the Stars grrreat saying. The designer paper is the Good Morning Sunshine paper.
Here is the cutest part...the back of the bear! I am a little too excited about how he turned out. I just need to fill him with some awesome chocolate and give it to a friend!

Below is a side view of the box. The ribbon is 1/4" grosgrain in Old Olive.
I have not decided but this just may be the third project for my "Punch It Up Thursday" or I may do it for "Technique Tuesday"....Come to both to find out! :-)
"Technique Tuesday's" are on the third Tuesday of each month and "Punch it Up Thursday's" are on the last Thursday of each month. Email me for more details!

Who Needs a Rabbit?

2009-03-11T20:53:00.000-07:00

This idea like the basket came from several cards I have seen on Splitcoast. I had a lot of fun coming up with this one. The chicken was pretty easy to create. The head is 1" circle, Boho Blossoms and small star punches. The body is 1 3/8" circle, wing is small oval and the nest is a large oval with slit punch. I sponged the edges with chocolate chip. The large egg is done using the Creative Memories Oval Cutter. The eggs are the wide ovals.
The inside of the card has computer generated text. I found the saying on a stamped card that was a huge inspiration for this card.

This is another card you can create at my "Punch it Up Thursday" class on March 26th at 7pm. RSVP now to ensure your spot. Remember with the punch it up class you get to create the projects as well as an instruction card for the punched critter.

Scallop Envelope Easter Basket

2009-03-11T19:55:00.000-07:00

How cute is this? I got the idea from several cards that I saw on blogs and splitcoast. I took the card ideas and made it 3-D!

The basket is done in Baja Breeze. The eggs are Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Barely Banana. The handle is Pretty in Pink as well as the Easter tag. The rabbit is done in Whisper white and pretty in pink pastels. The body is 1 3/8" circle and the feet are small ovals. The tail is a piece of cotton from a cotton ball.
The eggs were speckled with Itty Bitty Backgrounds. The handle is done using the crimper.

If you love this then join me on March 26th at 7pm for my "Punch it Up Thursday" class. We will be creating this cute basket as well as two other projects.

Top Note Purse

2009-03-11T19:40:00.000-07:00

My stamping friend Valerie came over last week and this is what she wanted to create. We had a lot of fun putting this one together. She got the purse idea from one of our favorite bloggers Inking Idaho. We used the colors basic gray, baja breeze and kiwi kiss for the tote. The cards are all originals from Valerie.

Technique Tuesday!

2009-02-20T14:24:00.003-08:00

I am on the ball this month with uploading cards...we shall see if it continues! :-) I had a lot of fun coming up with cards for this month's class. We did a checkerboard card, wet watercolor crayon and a scallop flower!

Checkerboard Card

The Checkerboard card is pretty simple one to recreate. I got the idea from Stamp Owl's Studio The pages are 5 x 10 and scored at 2.5 inches. You lay one on top of the other and decorate. The link above has diagrams if you are confused on how this works. The stamp set I used is our new Fifth Avenue Floral!! I am not a flower type of girl and all three cards this month are FLOWERS!! I used the colors Baja Breeze, Close to Cocoa and Pink Pirouette.

Scalloped Flower!

The scallop flower was a challenge, but I love the results. I cut a strip of designer paper 1"x 12" (Sweet Slumber, which is cardstock thick!). I then used the scallop punch along the whole strip. I scored the valleys of the scallop, this was much easier than measuring and folding. Next you accordion fold the strip of paper. Adhere the ends together to make a circle. Holding the card stock with two hands you are going to twist one edge of the strip into the center to create a flower shape. Adhere a punched circle and a pop up glue dot to one or both sides (I did both sides). The stamp set used was the Congratulations set from the Sale-a-bration catalog. You can get it for FREE until March 31 with a $50 order OR at $300 workshop! Call or email me today to book your workshop! The stem of the flower is our 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, the leaves came from our sizzix sizzlets Birds and Blooms and the grass is just a strip of paper that is snipped and sponged.

Wet Watercolor Crayon

This is a fun card and so not my type of set, but I loved it! I got the idea for this card off of Splitcoast and incorporated the technique and different colors. The stamp set used is again another one you can get for FREE until March 31, Botanical Blooms! The technique is pretty simple. I stamped the outline image in Chocolate Chip ink, then for the inside part I colored directly on the solid stamp with watercolor crayons, spritzed lightly with water and stamped down onto watercolor paper. Colors used werebBarely Banana, Ruby Red, Mellow Moss and Chocolate Chip. We do not have Banana ribbon so I used Very Vanilla instead.

I hope you can join us next month for three more fabulous techniques!!!!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Birthday Sophia!!

2009-02-10T18:05:00.001-08:00

My stamping buddy Valerie's daughter Sophia had her birthday party this past weekend! It was a lot of fun. Cooper had a blast jumping in the bouncer and making pizza! I think his favorite part was the cupcakes though! Aren't they cute??

The card was made with some of my new toys and colors I don't normally use!

Paper was whisper white, perfect plum and pale plum. Ink was the same plus certainly celery. I also used the certainly celery ribbon from the Sale-a-bration catalog. The background to the card may be hard to see but it was dry embossed with Stampin' Up!'s exclusive texture plates. The flower is from the daisy Sixxiz Bigz Die. The Stamp sets were Bugs and Kisses and Birthday Greetings

NEW TOYS!!! YAY!

2009-02-10T17:52:00.000-08:00

Blogger strikes again! UGH My photos are turned and I have yet to figure out why. They are right on my computer, wrong on here. So, you will have to look funny while you look at my new stamping toys! LOL

I place a big order and here it is!!! I was so excited to get all my fun toys. I bought two stamp sets and got 5 FREE!!! You read that right...FIVE! I bought Fifth Avenue Floral and Cheep Talk and since it is Sale-a-bration I got all four of those sets as well as the level one Comfort Foods set.

You will also see a cool Sizzix embosslit, Daisy Bigz Die, Texture Plates, Natural Serif Alphabet, Soft Subtles watercolor crayons (still collecting the colors). Not pictured is the Sweet Slumber and Good Morning Sunshine Decorative Paper! The Sweet Slumber is cardstock thick and very pretty! My order got big because I also had to add in a lot of paper from my past classes. Look out for some cool new cards and projects coming your way!

Stamping Supply Books!!

2009-02-10T17:22:00.000-08:00

How cool are these books? I got the idea from the Yahoo Group Late Night Stampers. It is a cool book that keeps track of all of your stamping supplies. There are sections for stamps, punches, ink, tools, coloring tools, other supplies and favorite supplies. I made one for each of my club girls and my friend Jenene. If you would like your own personalized book all you have to do is host a workshop with sales of $300 or more, very easy this month and next with Sale-a-bration! Contact me today to get yours!!! I personalized each book with my clubber's favorite colors and can do the same for you...a very fun project for me to do!

I did mine in Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip!
Stamp sets were Eastern Blooms and Baroque Motifs.

The following were photographed before I finished them. I forgot to get the final pictures of them...so just imagine them all with tabs and ribbon. I think I forgot to get photographs of a few of the others. If you don't see your book that means I forgot to take a picture of it. I made all of these in the midst of a sprained knee.

Happy Stamping!!

Happy Birthday Invite!

2009-01-25T15:42:00.000-08:00

Cooper got an invite to a birthday part from my fellow stamper Valerie and I just have to share it!

She is having a Pizza Party for her daughter! How cute is this slice of pizza!
The pizza uses the Sizzix pennant die, baskets and blooms, and punches.

The inside is done with a Sizzix alphabet die and the 3 is stamped.

I am looking forward to this fun party! Doesn't it make you want to come along too?

Great job Valerie!! Check out her blog...there are some neat things on there!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

2009-01-25T15:12:00.000-08:00

Here are 10 fun cards I created for my Dad's wife Ava for Valentine's day. I had a lot of fun coming up with the cards. Some of the ideas are direct cases from splitcoasters and some are my own ideas. Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I created matching envelopes for each one but blogger isn't liking my pictures right now.

I used the stamp sets Happy Heart Day and Love You Much!

Happy Stamping!

If you want to come and learn then join us on the third Tuesday of each month! You will get to make three instruction cards like you see below and three cards using the technique. Cost is $10 or $5 with a $25 purchase. The Technique Ring also works as a cardstock sampler as well. It is never to late to start learning how to use those awesome stamping supplies you have accumulated.

Here are the cards we did for January's Technique Tuesday!

Bouncy Card!
I got this awesome card idea from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. When I saw her tutorial I immediately thought of these cute balloons!

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Pun Fun
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate chip, whisper white
Accessories: Tag punch, blender pens, neutrals water color crayons, wire, Tangerine Tango striped ribbon

Hinge Fold Card!
The technique card for this would not load correctly so I will just tell you a little about this fun card! It is a 4.25x11 card scored at 1.25 and glued down creating a fun 4.25 x 4.25 card. The top part can be rolled with a wheel, decorated with brads or buttons or even tied with a ribbon.

Stamps: A flower for all Seasons, Outlined for fun
Paper: Not quite navy, so saffron, whisper white, Not Quite Navy DP (from retired hostess pack)
Ink: black, not quite navy

Split Negative Zebra!
How cute is this card? I sent this to my mom for her birthday. I love the regal rose, black and white combination. If you look closely you will notice on my technique card the image didn't line up exactly, for the card I just trimmed it. I am not perfect so don't be hard on yourself if yours comes out a little off too!

I got the idea for this super cute Zebra from several different samples on Splitcoast! Thanks SCS stamper for the inspiration!

Stamps: Zoofari, On Your Birthday
Ink: Basic Black, Regal Rose, Whisper White Craft
Paper: Regal Rose, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: paper cutter, large oval, wide oval, regal 5/8" grosgrain ribbon
