Summertime Birthday

2011-06-28T19:44:00.009-04:00

Although I'm not big on birthday parties for myself, it sure is fun to throw one for others especially during summer. You can enjoy the nice weather and do some grilling. My husband's birthday is this weekend and I realized I only had "pretty" looking birthday cards in my stash like the one above. I struggle with making masculine looking cards, but I'm sure I'll be able to throw something together.

Have a great day & happy stamping!

Baja Breeze, Poppy Parade . . . ??

2011-06-24T13:00:00.005-04:00

Baja Breeze and Poppy Parade . . . who thinks up the names of these colors? It never ceases to amaze me the colors Stampin' Up! comes out with and how well you can mix and match them. Love it!

I used Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper and Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper to create this little note for my mother-in-law who is down & out right now. I included an amazing picture of her and my son together I know she will enjoy.

My wrist is better, not 100%, but much better. Thank you for all your well wishes!

Get ready for the new 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. I will add the link to my right sidebar as soon as it becomes available next week.

Like a Bird in a Cage

2011-06-14T20:00:00.001-04:00

So who is smart enough to sprain their wrist on Memorial Day - the official start of summer? ME! I feel like this bird in a cage. Thankfully it's my left wrist (I am right-handed) and it's only a sprain. I never realized though how much your left hand supports what your right hand is doing. It's getting better, but not fast enough.

It hasn't stopped me from stamping! You can stamp with one hand. Hee hee! My little bird and cage is from the Stampin' Up! set Aviary. This set is so neat because you can mix & match the birds and cages. Very fun! Check it out on page 121 in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.

Enjoy your week and happy stamping!

Nautical Expedition

2011-06-10T13:45:00.002-04:00

I CASED this card from page 10 of the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. I plan to use this one as a graduation card for a male. I just love using the new stamp set The Open Sea. This set nicely compliments the new Designer Series Paper Nautical Expedition. What a bonus!

TGIF and happy stamping!

Friends

2011-05-20T21:00:00.008-04:00

Spring has finally arrived and I hear the birds chirping in between all the rain we've had.

I love the richness of the Stampin' Up! color Cherry Cobbler. It was a great color to ink my bird stamp from Friends 24-7 stamp set. I kept the card earthy using some neutral colors to really make that Cherry Cobbler pop. I hope you like it!

Easter Treat

2011-04-25T08:18:00.003-04:00

I hope you had a wonderful Easter! We went to an Easter egg hunt Saturday morning and yesterday I cooked dinner for the family. The Easter bunny was very good to Brandon. He was so excited to go through his basket and look at all his goodies!

Pictured above is a little Easter treat I made my friends. I just love those mini baskets. They are so much fun to decorate.

just a little note

2011-04-17T16:35:00.007-04:00

Let your patterned paper do all the work for you! I created this card using the earthy Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper from the current Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. The only stamping here was the sentiment, butterfly, and circle piece inside the scallop circle.

All set for Easter? It's hard to believe it's next week already. I think we will go see "Hop" before Easter hits. I heard it's a really fun movie. I need to plan out the Easter dinner too. We don't have too big of a group this year, but I still like to make it nice.

Enjoy the week and God bless!

Make n' Take

2011-03-26T12:36:00.006-04:00

Last month I went out of town and visited a scrapbook store who was offering make n' takes while I was there. I haven't been to a card class in years and it was very refreshing to learn new techniques and play with new tools. It's just amazing how the card making/scrapbooking industry just keeps growing. You can never get bored with this hobby!

Love you a latte!

2011-03-12T16:27:00.007-05:00

My husband was out of town last week so I made him a bunch of cards to open each day while he was away. This one was a simple and sweet 3x3 card. The stamp is from the Stampin' Up! set Pun Fun.

Speaking of latte, I could go for one right now. We still have snow on the ground and there is nothing better than curling up on the couch with a nice hot drink.

Just For You

2011-03-06T10:20:00.007-05:00

Remember the Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Designer Paper collection last year? It was such a generous collection of papers that I still have some laying around. It's always good to use up the old stuff to make room for the new.

In a couple hours I'm off to take my son to the Justin Bieber movie (or pronounced "Beaver" if you're my son). He just loves him and I think I will live through it. It's definitely an outing Just for Him!

Here for You

2011-02-26T12:33:00.002-05:00

I have a soothing card to share with you today. Sometimes people go through rough patches in life and it's nice to send them a handmade card letting them know you care. I wanted the feel of this card to be comforting so I paired a couple neutral colors with Baja Breeze and used the Friends 24-7 stamp set from Stampin Up. The stamps did all the work to pull this creation together. Gotta love Stampin' Up!

I hope you are enjoying the weekend and taking time to relax. Enjoy your day and happy stamping!

It's A Circus Around Here!

2011-02-20T15:51:00.004-05:00

It's a circus of circles here at Tiffany's Cardtique today! My most forgotten Stampin' Up! set that I own . . . Circle Circus. It's a really fun and adorable set, but for some reason quite often forgotten. I created my circus card using some of the gorgeous in colors from Stampin Up: Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, and Peach Parfait. What a yummy combination of colors I cannot take credit for . . . I used my Color Coach. I just love that handy little tool.

What a nice long holiday weekend. I've been scrapbooking and making cards this weekend. My stash of cards has gotten quite low. I always like to have a bunch of birthday and thank you cards on hand and ready to go.

Tri-Fold Valentine

2011-02-08T19:40:00.002-05:00

Have you ever tried making a tri-fold card? It's very easy and makes your card appear really fancy.

Simply take a 9.5 x 5.5 piece of card stock. Score at 2.5 and 6.5 inches. Whola! I wrapped Stampin Up Whisper White Satin ribbon around the entire outside so when you first open the card it's not so boring. Just adding little touches like that can make a big difference.

I am still working on my Valentines. I must admit, I've been addicted to scrapbooking since the New Year. I am bound and determined to get caught up (smile). My goal has been to create a two-page layout each week. So far, so good. I work on it a little every night. I am a very slow scrapbook page creator. It doesn't come as easy as cards do. I'll share some pages with you soon.

Don't forget, Sale-A-Bration is on now through March 31st. You get free products for every $50 you spend. E-mail me for a FREE brochure or more details.

If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you are probably thinking I must have a guest stamper today. This card design/style is totally out of character for me . . . but it's me!

This card was totally inspired by the gorgeous Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalog. Right across the page from this paper in the catalog is the coordinating stamp set Nature Walk. A match made in paradise. I love it!

Friends 24/7 - Vintage Style

2010-11-24T13:15:00.001-05:00

Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? WOW. Time flies. December is especially busy for me because we have two birthdays in the family to celebrate in addition to Christmas. It's all good!

I wanted to share a Stampin Up Friends 24-7 vintage style card with you today. I love this stamp set. I paired it up with the En Francais background stamp. I think they complement each other nicely.

I've seen a lot of ribbon ruffling on cards lately and wanted to give it a try. How easy! Just grab some Stampin' Up! Sticky Strip and cut a piece long enough to cover the area you want your ribbon to cover. Peel one side off and stick to your paper. Peel the exposed side and start adding your ribbon making as large or wide a ruffle as you desire. That's it!

Grateful Greetings

2010-11-09T13:15:00.001-05:00

Thanksgiving will be here in two weeks. Can you believe it? I am so grateful for my promotion at work. It really has been life changing.

I try to make Thanksgiving cards and treats for my family every year. I've been paper crafting for so long, I think they expect it now. No pressure, right? I decided to embellish these mini pails I picked up at our local craft store recently. Aren't they cute? Of course they must accompany a matching card and the pail will be filled with something sweet. Hopefully my friends and family will enjoy them at the Thanksgiving table this year. Did I mention I'm cooking too? I bought the turkey this week. Now the planning. Argh! I'd rather be paper crafting.

Jingle all the Way

2010-10-21T21:22:00.002-04:00

I am hooked on the Stampin' Up! Decor Elements. When the line was released a few years ago I said, "I'll never buy or sell those". Oops! I currently have a wall hanging in my craft room made out of them, jars embellished with them, and now a Christmas decoration. Did I mention another order of them on the way too? Shhhhhh. Don't tell the hubby!

This Jingle all the Way wall hanging will go in my foyer for the holidays. The cool part is I added the vinyl lettering to the glass of the frame so next year I can swap a different background of Designer Series Paper for a completely different look. For this year, I used Stampin' Up! Newsprint Designer Series Paper. It was the perfect musical match for my Jingle all the Way Decor Elements.

My new recruit, Amy Papale, had her first Stampin' Up! Open House last week. It was a great success! She had approximately 19 guests attend the party.

This Holiday Greetings Christmas card was one of her make-n-takes we came up with for the party. Amy has a great eye for color combinations and swears by her Stampin' Up! Color Coach . I love the soft Bashful Blue against the Crumb Cake color card stock. Way to go Amy!

Northern Flurry

2010-10-05T18:45:00.001-04:00

I'm back!!!!! It's been a "flurry" of happenings in my life over the past few weeks.

I am excited to tell you I got a management position at my place of employment that I have wanted for a really long time. I start my new position on Monday.

Two weeks ago we took a trip to visit family in North Carolina. We got home and a member of my husband's family had to go to the hospital. Everything is starting to settle down now - finally.

Although life can be a "flurry", making Christmas cards doesn't have to be with the new Stampin' Up! Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. I love embossing folders because they make a card so quick & easy with superb results.

To make my snowflakes stand out a little more on this card, I sponged Whisper White Craft Ink lightly over the embossed image and popped each flake with a Stampin Up Basic Rhinestone.

I hope you are enjoying fall. It's a beautiful season and great time to stamp or scrapbook. Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

Tangerine Tango for Halloween

2010-09-15T13:20:00.001-04:00

The Stampin' Up! color Tangerine Tango is a great shade of orange to use for your Halloween cards and projects. I am typically drawn to Pumpkin Pie (an oldie but a goodie), but Tangerine Tango is a new bright & fun shade of orange.

I wanted to do something a little different for a Halloween card so I attached the Tangerine Tango/Basic Gray layer crooked on the Basic Black card base. Just something a little different.

Occasional Quotes

2010-08-30T15:30:00.004-04:00

Last week was Stampin' Up! Hostess Week here at Tiffany's Cardtique. I forgot I had one more card to share with you. I meant to post it this past Saturday and well, you know how busy & fast weekends go. Better late than never!

I used a Stampin' Up! Hostess level 1 & 3 for this card. It's a simple, clean design and I just adore the quote from the Occasional Quotes set. All supplies for this creation can be found at the bottom of the post. Leave me a comment while you're there and let me know what you thought of Hostess Week? I love to read your comments!

I have a new "helper" at Tiffany's Cardtique and he is extremely dedicated. Whenever it's time to photograph my cards or projects for this blog, my helper sets up the entire photography set whether it be indoors or outdoors. I guess he's seen me do it enough times to know what to do. After I photograph my work, he wants me to take a picture of him. I love my helper!

I Have A Crush

2010-08-26T06:00:00.004-04:00

Don't tell my husband, but I have Stampin' Up! in color Concord Crush! I've never been a big fan of purple until I got my hands on this new in color. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate the richness of this color. It truly looks like a concord grape. I think you'll find yourself with a little crush on it as well.

The design of this creation was inspired from the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA57) today. In celebration of Tiffany's Cardtique Hostess Week, I used patterned paper from the Designer Series Paper Pack - In Color (hostess level 1). With a purchase of $150+ this paper pack is yours free along with your choice of $15 in Stampin' Up! products.

I thought outside the Stampin' Up! box on this card. I combined three stamp sets: Always, Leaf Lines, and Watercolor Trio. Isn't it amazing how nicely they all flow together & look like it came from one set?

Take a look at all your stamp sets and see which ones you can combine. I think looking at them with this different viewpoint will open the door to some new & exciting projects!

When I complete my cards, I often show them to my husband who could really care less. He is very sweet & supportive but let's face it, most guys don't go crazy over paper crafts. He typically says, "that's nice honey". With this card though, he actually made a comment about the shading around the edges of the patterned paper. He liked that technique. Maybe he's coming around! (smile) Who would have guessed that sponging a little ink around the edges of patterned paper would float his boat so to speak?!

Enjoy your day (TGIF) & happy stamping!

No Time? Emboss It!

2010-08-17T20:41:00.009-04:00

When I am crushed for time and/or just too darn tired to be creative, I reach for my Stampin' Up! embossing folders. They do all the work for you.

I pulled out my favorite color of Stampin' Up! card stock, Pretty in Pink, and paired it with some Neutrals (Sahara Sand, Early Espresso). Elegant Lines embossing folder created my design and I simply stamped and punched out the sentiment. There you have it . . . a simple card created in minutes.

Play Date

2010-08-13T17:20:00.001-04:00

Play Date takes on a whole new meaning in the Stampin’ Up! world. Play Date is filled with bright, fun, and exciting papers. It’s in my top 5 favorite Designer Series Papers from the new Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog. It’s great for those summertime birthday cards or scrapbook pages. Do you have some beach or poolside pictures to scrap? Play Date will make those pictures pop with the vibrant red, turquoise, and yellow colors.

I played over at PPA in their color challenge this week. This card is even brighter in person. It’s a great summer color combination.

The Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini is coming out September 1st. My pre-order should arrive today. I’ll try to squeeze in a sneak peek next week of some of the upcoming products. You’re going to love it all!

Don't let those scraps go to waste! I am totally hoarding every little piece of Stampin' Up! Love Letter Designer Series Paper. It's a vintage style paper that I just adore!

Happy Thoughts

2010-08-05T05:58:00.001-04:00

I'm playing in a blog challenge today over at PPA called the KISS - Keep It Simple Sweetie. The card should be clean with lots of white space, simple design, minimal amount of time to create. I made this in 15 minutes in between dinner & my son's soccer practice. I kept it simple by using only two colors - Stampin' Up! Whisper White and Daffodil Delight. It's the last month of summer and that Daffodil Delight fits perfectly for the season!

Watching 4 year olds play soccer is a treat! Some are really good & others could care less & are just having fun. Mine son would be the latter. He loves it and that's all that matters.

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

En Francais

2010-08-03T19:00:00.001-04:00

Bonjour! That is about all the French you'll get out of me other than this card. I couldn't translate the verbiage on this gorgeous Stampin' Up! background stamp En Francais, but I sure love to use it. En Francais is one classy stamp. I love the flow of the writing on it.

So what do you think of my colors? They were totally out of my comfort zone thanks to the new Stampin' Up! Color Coach. My mind is being stretched beyond belief. If you struggle with color combinations or tend to choose the same colors quite often (like me), this tool is for you.

I started with the Soft Suede solid color side of the Color Coach. On the flip side, it provides with a "Creative Combination" and a "Sweet Set" combination. I used the "Sweet Set" combo - Soft Suede, Baja Breeze (card base), and Cherry Cobbler (bird). I never would have put all those colors together without the Color Coach & I love the results it provided.

All the Stampin Up! supplies used for this creation can be found at the bottom of the post. Any questions? Don't hesitate to e-mail me. I'd love to hear from you!

A Tree For All Seasons

2010-08-01T13:18:00.015-04:00

I had a great time this past week with my downline! We got together and talked stamping and made a couple cards together like the one pictured above.

The Stampin' Up! stamp set we used is called Season of Friendship. I like to call it "A Tree For All Seasons" because this set includes flowers for Spring/Summer, leaves for Fall, and a snowflake for Winter. It even includes a little bird & sentiment. It's a versatile set you can use all year.

If you look on page 120 of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog, you'll see a great scrapbook page pictured incorporating this set. Very fun!

Get Crackin'

2010-07-28T21:45:00.000-04:00

Have you challenged your stamping capabilities lately? I have not and decided I need to try something new.

I've been a fan of the cracked glass look, but was too intimidated to give the technique a try. Silly me! Not only was it easy, but super cool! I had a blast and made a bunch of cards.

I stamped a branch from the Stampin' Up! Watercolor Trio set three times slightly overlapping each one. I used the colors Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery from the Stampin' Up! Subtles collection. They are nice soft colors for the look I wanted to achieve. I sponged the edges in the Bashful Blue and the began the cracked glass process. Click HERE for the tutorial. My favorite part is when you take it out of the freezer and begin cracking. Love it!

Let me know if you try the cracked glass technique or if you've done it before?

Don't forget to e-mail me if you are interested in my Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Share. There are still some shares left.

Embossing folders are one of my favorite tools. Do you know why? They are quick & easy to use and give amazing results. This "Thanks So Much" card showcases a new embossing folder available in the new Stampin Up Catalog & Idea Book. It's called Elegant Lines. It's a perfect name for it if you ask me!

Artistic Etchings

2010-07-13T18:25:00.000-04:00

Oh how I love the new vintage style stamps and supplies on page 124-125 of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!

I created my own patterned paper using the Stampin' Up! set Artistic Etchings. It's such a beautiful stamp set. I decided to keep the colors from the neutral collection utilizing Early Espresso (new color), Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. To make the card look a little distressed, I sponged Early Espresso randomly over the entire card. I rounded the Sahara Sand card stock corners with a corner punch.

Watercolor Trio

2010-07-10T08:00:00.001-04:00

Watercolor Trio is by far my most favorite set from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. It's all inclusive - images with three different sentiments.

Curious as to how I stamped with various colors? I used the Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers brush tip to add color directly onto the stamp where I wanted it. It's very easy and gives amazing results.

Sweet Celebration

2010-06-24T20:42:00.010-04:00

Mmm! Doesn't this look "sweet"?

Simple and fun birthday cards can be created using Stampin' Up! Sweet Scoops. I added a scoop of strawberry ice cream on top the cone with a pop dot to make it look a little more realistic. I love that you can create just about any flavor of ice cream with this set. It's so much fun and it's a big hit with the kids!

Happy Anniversary

2010-06-21T22:10:00.002-04:00

I am approaching my 12 year wedding anniversary. Boy, that is a long time! Last November I celebrated my 10 year anniversary at my place of employment. Sounds like I'm getting old, doesn't it? Let's not go there.

I made this anniversary card for my husband. The background stamp is Stampin' Up! Tres Chic and the flowers are from Watercolor Trio.

I did some sponging on this card to give it a soft, delicate effect. All you do is take a sponge and dab it on your ink pad to collect some ink, then sponge the ink on your cardstock. To achieve darker color in some areas, just sponge over the same area several times.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! All Holidays set.

Have a great day and happy stamping!

Graduation Party Time

2010-06-16T14:15:00.002-04:00

It's that time of year again . . . graduation party time! I had three cards I needed to make all for one weekend. I kept it simple so I could stamp the bunch of them in no time.

The Happy Grad stamp from Stampin' Up! did all the work for me on this one. Stampin' Up! about a year ago or so, started selling single stamps. Great idea! I certainly wouldn't need a complete set of graduation stamps.

You'll be seeing some new single stamps in the upcoming Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog due out July 1st. Need a copy? E-mail me HERE to reserve a copy at a special discounted price.

Scrapbooking With Stamps

2010-06-08T06:30:00.003-04:00

I had another layout I meant to post in May for National Scrapbooking Month, but the month slipped away from me!

I often hear that people struggle incorporating their stamps into scrapbook pages. Take a look at all the stamps you have with phrases on them. The phrase pictured at the top of my scrapbook page, "live with passion"(from the Stampin' Up! set Inspired by Nature), was a perfect fit because Brandon was very passionate about picking just the right blueberries.

I also stamped and cut out a little blue butterfly (from Stampin' Up! set Great Friend) in the corner of the layout to add a subtle embellishment. The possibilities are endless! Rubber stamps can definitely enhance your scrapbook pages.

By the way, blueberry picking is a very fun activity for you to do with your child. The bushes are not very tall and the kids love carrying a bucket on a rope around their neck. It's a great time and nothing tastes better than fresh blueberries!

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

Customized Buttons

2010-05-27T06:00:00.000-04:00

I am just crazy about the new Stampin' Up! Bitty Buttons available in the Summer Mini Catalog. They come clear so you can customize them any way you want. Along with being cute, they are inexpensive too. You get 64 for under $5. The Punch Pack coordinates with these button sizes. All you need to do is layer the punched image behind the clear Bitty Buttons for your own custom embellishment. I used solid color card stock to match the patterned paper.

The card pictured above was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA44) today. I enjoy sketch challenges once in awhile. It's amazing to see all the different creations people come up with using a single sketch.

Happy National Scrapbooking Month

2010-05-22T14:12:00.012-04:00

Here is part of of a scrapbook layout I did to capture some Christmas memories. Brandon helps me bake Christmas cookies every year and he is great at it!

I used a combination of scrapbooking products, but I am consistent with using Stampin' Up! card stock when I need a solid color for a background or matting a picture. Stampin' Up! card stock is thick and smooth which works great for scrapbooking something that you want to last.

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping . . . and scrapbooking too!

Mint Chocolate Chip Anyone?

2010-05-12T17:30:00.000-04:00

Mmmm. Although we had a little snow on Mother's Day (crazy Erie weather), summer is coming!

How about a scoop of mint chocolate chip? It's one of my favorites. You can scoop up this adorable set of stamps from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. The set is called Sweet Scoops. It comes in wood mounted or clear. There are two different scoops to choose from and two different cone styles as well. It's a perfect set for those summer birthdays or to create cards for kids!

Ever go through your stamp collection and realize you forgot about a set you had? That was the case with my Stampin' Up! Razzle Dazzle set. I keep my stamps in drawers & this one was tucked away in the back. It was like finding a treasure!

I only colored a portion of the flower stamp with my Stampin' Up! markers. The Stampin' Up! markers really come in handy when you want to stamp in multiple colors at the same time. Razzle Dazzle coordinates perfectly with the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper. Another little treasure.

The new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini is due out in a couple weeks and it's HOT! Wait until you see all the new goodies. I can't wait to share them with you. Stay tuned!

A Thought Away

2010-04-08T17:50:00.003-04:00

Does is feel like Spring yet? The buds are out and before you know it, you'll see flowers like the one on my card. Can't wait!

The Stampin' Up! patterned paper is from Welcome Neighbor (past Sale-A-Bration) for the flower and Sweet Pea (Occasions Mini) for the background.

I created the flower using the Stampin' Up! Extra Large Fancy Flower punch and a couple of flowers from the Flower Fusion collection. I wish I could tell you where the extra wide ric-rac is from, but it's been in my stash for a long time.

Create a card using your Stampin' Up! Bigz Dies! I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop Square Bigz Die to create this card. All you need to do is cut out two scallop squares. Score 1/2" on one edge of one square. Fold it inwards and attach it to the other scallop square. See the indentation on my card pictured above. E-mail me if you have any questions.

You could also make cards out of the Stampin' Up! Top Note and Scallop Circle die. Give it a try this week and let me know how you do!

Not many of you could resist the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch in the current Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. Who could blame you? I gave my bird a little Bella Bleu wing to match the pattern on his birdhouse.

Have a great day & happy stamping!

Easter Wishes

2010-03-28T16:00:00.003-04:00

Easter is right around the corner! Don't these cute little chicks look festive or are you too distracted by the foiled covered milk chocolate eggs? Mmmm! My photography skills are lacking, so I thought the little props might enhance my photo.

I love to emboss! The very first card making class I ever took was an embossing class. They utilized the old brass embossing templates and a stylus with a light table. I was so thrilled with the technique and what I created, I bought everything I needed to emboss and went to town with it! I still have my old collection of brass templates. Stampin' Up! still sells some of these on page 188 in the IB&C. I am totally spoiled now with my Big Shot and embossing folders which make things much easier and quicker!

My new favorite embossing product is Stampin' Up! Texturz Plates. The one I used for the chicks white background on this Easter card is called Perfect Details. The Texturz Plates come double-sided and measure 8" x 5-7/8". You simply run them through your Big Shot using the Multipurpose Platform, Impressions Pad, and Silicone Rubber. Stampin Up sells three different packages of these.

I'm off to buy my Easter ham and maybe some more foiled eggs. The ones in the picture . . . gone!

Enjoy your Sunday and happy stamping!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

2010-03-17T06:15:00.002-04:00

I'm not a bit Irish, but who says you have to be Irish to celebrate? I'm having a little dinner party tonight and serving up some reubens. The card and favor pictured above will be at each place setting.

Aren't the little milk carton's adorable? I filled it with Hershey Milk Chocolate Spring Flowers. As soon as I saw the Mini Milk Carton Bigz Die in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini, it was the first thing on my list. You can assemble the milk carton to have a spout open up to pour out your contents. My project is completely enclosed since my contents fill the width of the container. I've also seen these cartons made into super cute bird houses! I'm going to give that a whirl soon.

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day and happy stamping!

Masculine Birthday

2010-03-12T18:30:00.001-05:00

If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know I struggle with masculine cards. My brother-in-law had a birthday this week so I stretched really hard and came up with this card. I used some older paper & supplies so there will not be a product list at the end of the post. I'm trying to use up my older stuff to make room for new!

I will share with you the products I used on the inside of the card because those were current Stampin' Up! stamps. I used Whimsical Words (from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) and Teeny Tiny Wishes. The Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st so don't wait too long to place your order.

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!

Butterflies

2010-03-09T21:00:00.000-05:00

I was very excited to use the new Stampin' Up! Embosslits Die, Beautiful Wings. This die was on backorder for awhile because it was so popular! I only used one little butterfly, the pink one, on this card. I'll be sharing more creations with you in the near future with other butterflies from this collection. This die includes four butterflies of various sizes and embossed designs.

The Beautiful Wings die coordinates perfectly with the Stampin' Up! set Flight of the Butterfly. All the stamped images on this card are from this set. It's a pretty stamp set to make fun & cheerful cards during the Spring & Summer season.

The past few days have been filled with sunshine here in PA. What a great mood lifter! Brandon has been playing outside every day and loving it. Pretty soon we'll be teaching him how to ride a two wheeler. Watch out!

I hope you are having a great week filled with lots of sunshine! Have fun & happy stamping!!!!

Hello Spring!

2010-03-06T08:00:00.000-05:00

Spring is coming! We are supposed to hit 40-45 degrees today - heat wave. Hee hee.

I made this little card to send to someone who needed a little pick-me-up. Life can be rough sometimes and I just wanted her to know I care and wish her the best!

You can check out the inside of the card pictured to your right. Stampin' Up! always has a perfect saying for every occasion.

For You

2010-02-27T21:45:00.004-05:00

We received almost 2 feet of snow since Thursday night! Brandon was singing Christmas carols this morning. This evening, I painted my nails a subtle shade of pink in hopes that Spring will arrive soon.

I brought a little Spring flower into my creation today. The flower you see on the card was created using 4 circle punches from Stampin' Up! (3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8"). All you do is crumble up the circle as tight as you can, unfold, and layer the different sizes. You could sand or ink the edges of the circle before you crumble it up to give it a distressed look. These are fun & easy to make. Give it a try!

The little label on the front of the card was stamped with Stampin' Up! Vintage Labels set. This stamp set is FREE with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. Each stamp in this set coordinates with a punch in the Idea Book & Catalog. It's a very pretty set. It comes in wood mounted or clear. Your choice! I prefer clear.

Check out the complete list of supplies for this card at the bottom of the post. As always, if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

Back to my nice warm cup of coffee and warm blanket! Happy stamping!

Sweet One

2010-02-25T22:00:00.000-05:00

This was my first time using the new Stampin' Up! 2 Step Bird Punch. What fun! These new style of punches work with such ease. What I love about this punch is you get the leafy branch, bird, and a separate wing to customize your creation however you choose. You could punch out your bird on patterned paper and make a wing in a coordinating solid color. This punch has been a hot seller for Stampin' Up! Hopefully we'll see more styles of this sort in the near future!

The birds won't be singing here in Pennsylvania for awhile. We are getting another snow storm tonight & into tomorrow. Yuck! It's already snowing out there now. We are due to get about a foot of snow! At least tomorrow is Friday. I haven't worked in my craft cave all week. It was just one of those weeks where something was going on every night. By the time I had any free time, it was time for bed. If I could just figure out how to manage on less sleep. I am one of those people that needs 7-8 hours to feel good the next day. I'm jealous of those that can function on 5 hours sleep. Oh, the creations I could make with that extra time! I'm yawning as I type.

Off to bed. Good night and happy stamping this weekend!

Get Well Wishes

2010-02-18T06:00:00.001-05:00

Have you been bitten by the flu bug this season? Thankfully, I have not! I do know a lot of people that had the flu this season. Get well cards have been flying off my craft table! Although I love cards with all kinds of layers and embellishments, I also like the clean & simple look. Sometimes less is more.

Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Wishes is by far my #1 choice for a stamp set of sentiments. It's got everything! I use it and reference it over and over in my blog posts because it's one of those sets you'll always use and never tire of. The "get well wishes" is from this set and the black stamped image is from the set Always. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad you can receive FREE with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase (Sale-A-Bration). Gotta love FREE stuff!

Have you been watching the Olympics? I just can't believe the strength these athletes have. The other night I was watching the speed skiing and it was just painful watching all that pressure they must feel in their knees. Yikes! I tried downhill skiing once. I didn't even make it down half the bunny hill. I fell so much I could barely move the next day. Needless to say, once was enough!

I'll stick with my cozy little craft room stamping my little heart out!

Purple Tulips?

2010-02-16T20:27:00.017-05:00

Another Valentines Day has come & gone. This was my 11th Valentines Day with my husband and one I will never forget.

My favorite color is pink (in case you didn't already know - hee hee!) and my favorite flower is the tulip. My husband is the last minute shopper as most men are.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I woke up Sunday morning to a vase of purple tulips! I thought it was a bit odd. I don't think anyone has ever given me a bouquet of purple flowers. Interesting, isn't it? Usually the backup to pink for me is red or a mix bouquet, but the last minute shopper is subject to limited quantities . . . right? Right!

I decided to Google purple tulips to see what it means. It represents royalty! Works for me if my husband thinks I'm queen! It's the thought that counts, right? Right!
My sweetie, pictured above at age 2, got me a gift certificate for a massage! Now we're talking! He is going to make some woman very happy someday. This page was another addition to the 6x6 scrapbook I've been working on. You'll notice I added a little looped ribbon behind the photo piece on the top & bottom and finished off the page with a little Stampin' Up! Styled Vanilla Hardware. Very simple page and an easy subject to work with!

Scrapping!

2010-02-11T22:10:00.001-05:00

I'm almost finished with my first 6x6 scrapbook album! I've never done any this small. I usually do the 12x12 ones. I think I enjoy the 6x6 more because you are more limited by the amount of pictures and embellishments. It's so much quicker!

I am especially proud of this album for two reasons. First, it's the first book I've completed using all Stampin' Up! products. Secondly, it's a book filled with all my favorite pictures of Brandon photographed alone. This book is just all about him! I know I will enjoy looking at it over and over again.

The page photographed at the top of this post was created using a sheet from the Stampin Up Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad which you can receive FREE from the Sale-A-Bration flyer. I also used stamps from three different collections. The complete list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post.

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. TGIF! I can't wait to stamp some more this weekend and finish my album. Fun, fun, fun!

Have a good one!

With All My Heart

2010-02-07T16:30:00.000-05:00

Is this card full of hearts of what? I used Stampin' Up! White Craft Ink to ink up the Victorian looking heart from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp collection. I love the white on red. The little decorative heart border on the bottom was punched out using the newly designed punches from Stampin' Up! called Pinking Hearts Border. Isn't it adorable?

Are you ready for Valentines Day next Sunday? Today I finished up my Valentines and treats to send my sister and nephews. It's all packaged up and ready to mail tomorrow. This week I need to work on the most important Valentine - the one for my hubby!

I did learn a really good tip from my Stampin' Up! upline this past week about the new clear stamps from Stampin Up. I've experienced trouble with the stamp sticking to the block. She told me to hold the stamp on the block for a full 3 seconds. I tried it out and ever since I've had no trouble. The 3 second rule also works to get them to cling inside the case they come in too. I'm so glad I learned this trick and I hope this helps you out as well!

I'm off to a Super Bowl party! Happy stamping!

Sending Love

2010-01-29T21:30:00.001-05:00

I really love to make little altered treat containers with matching cards for Valentines Day. My mother is going to be the recipient of the little ensemble pictured above. The little band aid container is filled with Dove Chocolate hearts . . . her favorite!

My package of Stampin Up Sending Love Specialty paper is disappearing fast! Between scrapbook pages, treat containers, and Valentine cards, I may need to order another package before long. It's just one of those paper packs where you will truly love each and every design.

If you are looking for that perfect sentiment like the "love you much" on my card, take a peek at the Stampin Up set Well Scripted. You get birthday, Easter, love, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and congratulations all in one set. The script looks very classy, don't you think?

All the Stampin' Up! supplies used on the tin and card can be found at the bottom of this post. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail me!

TGIF in a big way! I'm having a dinner party Saturday evening and Sunday I get to take Brandon to one of his classmates birthday party. Very fun!

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!

I {Heart} Hearts

2010-01-23T16:09:00.017-05:00

Stampin' Up! exceeded my expectations on their Valentine's Day paper & stamps this year.

Sending Love Specialty paper shines with glittery designs on one side. I tried to capture some of the glitter on the paper in the photo above. Hopefully you can see how subtle it shimmers. You get 12 sheets total which includes two sheets each of the six double-sided designs (12x12). The paper coordinates with Stampin Up Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla card stock.

I let my Big Shot and Punches do most of the work for this Valentines Day card. I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop Circle Bigz Dies and Circles #2 Original Die for the background.

I love my new clear stamps, so I stamped a couple hearts from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set. If you purchase I {Heart} Hearts, Stampin' Up! will set aside $2 from the sales of this set and donate it to the American Red Cross to go towards Haitian Relief! You'll help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this devastating earthquake.

I {Heart} Hearts also coordinates with the Full Heart and Heart to Heart punches. Sorry to tempt you, but you know how I love coordinating stamps & punches.

I just wanted to thank everyone for your e-mails and well wishes for Brandon. His eye has been healing so quickly and continues to. Every day it looks better & better. Thank you for all your concerns and prayers. God is good!

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!!!!

Love You Much

2010-01-20T15:18:00.023-05:00

We had a little scare last night! My little guy, pictured above, ran down our hallway and turned to go into his room and his eye caught the doorknob. OMG! He is screaming and crying. I took one look at him and there was blood in his eye, swelling, and it just looked gross! We ran him to the emergency room and thankfully everything is ok. Today it was all swollen & sore and he looked like someone punched him good. He has a pretty big cut from the inner corner lid to outside the lid. Hard to explain. Needless to say, I'm home from work today taking care of him. He is napping right now. He is ok though!

It was fitting to post a 6x6 scrapbook page of him today expressing how much I love him. When your little ones get hurt, it's so hard to take.

All the supplies used on this scrapbook layout are from Stampin' Up! Don't be afraid to incorporate stamps into your layouts. I used Love You Much stamp set and embellished it with a Library Clip, ribbon, flower, & brad. The decorative edge was created using the Scallop Trim Border Punch which you can get free with any $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! E-mail me for more details!

The 6x6 scrapbook album (pictured at the top of this post in the background) is the perfect fit for this layout. It's a Stampin' Up! linen ring-bound album with 10 top-loading page protectors included. I love the ring-bound because you can take pages in and out or rearrange without a hassle. This is definitely the best scrapbook album I've ever owned. The quality is superb!

I think Brandon is waking up so I better go. I hope you enjoyed viewing one of my scrapbook pages today!

Have a good day and happy stamping!

Vintage Vogue

2010-01-19T06:15:00.004-05:00

Strike a pose . . . Vogue! Remember the hit song by Madonna? Too fun! For some reason, that song came to mind when I saw what Stampin' Up! named this vintage style stamp set, Vintage Vogue. Isn't it cool? This set is brand new from the Occasions Mini Catalog! It comes in both wood and clear mounted.

Take a peek on the right to see how the new Stampin' Up! clear sets are packaged! They come in a sturdy plastic DVD-like case. They are already cut for you and all you have to do is stick the image on. Very easy! The spine of the case has the name of the set on it as well as a picture of all the stamps inside. They thought of everything! One other thing . . . they are CHEAPER than the wood mounted. Bonus! Easier storage and less money. I love them!!!

I had a Stampin' Up! display and make-n-take table at a local scrapbooking crop this weekend. What fun! The card, CASED from Lori Rider, pictured at the top of this post was one everyone could make. We first created a border around the Soft Suede piece. The cascade of flowers was stamped on Whisper White card stock and inked with Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede. To achieve different tones of one color, ink your image with a strong color and stamp repeatedly without re-inking. This technique is called Stamping Off.

Well, it's time for me to head off to work. I'd rather be stamping!!!!

Seeing Stars

2010-01-13T20:00:00.009-05:00

I finally got back into my craft cave! Before I dive into my newest products, I had to make a quick baby card. Punches can be a lifesaver when your time is limited. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment. I just love Stampin’ Up! Star punches. If you like them, buy them both because you’ll have regrets if you don’t. Also, don’t forget about the Stampin Up Seeing Stars stamp set that coordinates beautifully with these punches too. I’m always attracted to coordinating stamps and punches because it makes it easy!

Our house guests left on Sunday and I’ve been busy catching up on housework and taking down Christmas decorations. I've been bringing out my Valentines Day decorations to add some more color back to my house as I put away the Christmas stuff.

We’ve had more snow than you can imagine and the only one happy about that is my son Brandon. He could play in the snow all day if you let him. He gets to sled ride at my sitters house. She has a nice hill in her backyard. The other morning as we were arriving at her house Brandon asks me “do you get to sled ride at work?” Ha! I wish I could go sled riding at work. Gotta love the questions of a 4 yr old!

Have a wonderful day & happy stamping!

Craft Cave Invasion

2010-01-07T21:21:00.014-05:00

You are probably wondering where I've been? Well, my craft room - aka Craft Cave -has been invaded! A little over a week ago, my husband's best friend son-in-law passed away unexpectedly at age 24. They live out of town and have camped out in our guest room which is also my craft room. I believe they are leaving this weekend, so I should be back full force next week.
Before they arrived, I managed to whip together, a sympathy card. The perfect stamp set for sympathy cards is Stampin' Up! Close As A Memory. I just love it. Let's face it, we typically don't sit down to make sympathy cards on a regular basis. It's usually last minute, in a rush. This set is designed for that. It's so easy to throw together a card with this set. The sentiments that come in the set are really beautiful too.

Ok, all my new supplies from the Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration are calling me. I hope to be a bit more on my regular schedule next week, so get excited to see some new products!

Holiday RAK

2010-01-02T13:46:00.012-05:00

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Mine was very nice and relaxing.

Pictured above is a RAK from a friend of mine named Claire. Claire became a regular Stampin' Up! customer of mine which grew into a virtual friendship. She sent me the beautiful Christmas card pictured in the front and a gift bag full of handmade cards she made for me to use. A sampling of what she sent me surrounds the Christmas card. One is prettier than the next. I am so thankful for all my blog readers and customers. I've made some great friends!

New year, new stamps! Check out the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini on my sidebar as well as the Sale-A-Bration and Decor Elements. Clear stamps have arrived. I'm so excited! You are going to LOVE them! You can begin ordering any items from these brochures on January 5th.

Love those Stampin' Up! treat cups? Well, Stampin' Up! is releasing heart shaped treat cups January 5th! You'll want to get your order in quickly because with Valentines Day just upon the horizon, these are going to sell quick.

Preschool Shopping Day

2009-12-16T20:10:00.000-05:00

I learned a valuable lesson from my sister . . . watch what you volunteer for at your child's school!

My full-time working sister has two boys. I've watched her volunteer for everything and be totally frazzled and stressed out because of it. She is also a little bit of a procrastinator which doesn't help these situations she gets herself into. The night before whatever event she volunteered for, she's running all over town buying stuff, or staying up until 1 am making something. God love her! She is a great mom!

I volunteered to make items for Brandon's preschool "Christmas Shopping Day". I thought it would be quite an easy task for me! I was hoping to make pretty things for kids to give their mom's, but when I got the call, they asked me to make something for dad's. I was totally bummed, stressed, and clueless as to what to make. I came up with the idea to alter these plain memo pads from the Dollar Store. I had some masculine looking patterned paper and embellishments in my stash to decorate them with. I hope they liked them.

One of my creative challenges (we'll call it), is making masculine themed cards or gifts. I was regretting signing up to make items for the shop when I was given my assignment, but I think it turned out ok. I also got to use up some supplies I've been meaning to do something with. It worked out!

How are you doing on your Christmas shopping? I am almost there. After Brandon told Santa this past weekend what he wanted, I realized I need one more thing. Thankfully, Brandon is a simple kid who likes simple things. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Have fun getting ready for the holidays! I'll be back soon!

Glistening Your Holiday Cards

2009-12-09T21:45:00.000-05:00

We had our first snowfall of the season this past weekend. Guess who was the first one out there rolling around in it? Not me! Brandon will turn four years old this weekend and he loves the snow as you can tell from the picture.

When the sun came out Sunday afternoon the snow was glistening. It was the perfect inspiration for making a holiday card using the new Shimmer Paints from the Stampin' Up! holiday mini. I used Frost White on this card. I added a little paint on a sponge and then gently rubbed it over my embossed image and sentiment. I even put a little over the flower and leaves.

I must warn you, the Stampin' Up! Shimmer Paint comes in a very small bottle. When you order it from me, you'll think you've been ripped off. That's what I thought when I received my bottle. Rest assured, a little goes a really long way. I'm not exaggerating!

Don't forget, everything from the Stampin' Up! holiday mini can be ordered through January 4th. This includes all three colors of Shimmer Paint. After that, it's history!

Stampin' Up! is really coming up with some fabulous new products for 2010!!!! We're talking clear stamps and a new punch design. Stay tuned for some sneak peeks!

Recycle Your Christmas Cards

2009-12-06T15:00:00.005-05:00

I've been saving for the past couple years my favorite Christmas cards I receive over the holidays in hopes to do something with them. I've seen ideas for making ornaments out of them, but that appears to be a little time consuming. I came up with the idea of recycling my Christmas cards into Christmas cards once again! All you need is an array of Stampin' Up! card stock, Big Shot & dies, and a little creativity. I've been whipping out a bunch of these!

This Santa card on the right was a card front that sparkled from the subtle addition of glitter on it. I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop Circle Bigz Die to cut it out the main image of the card and layered it on some shimmery Christmas scrapbook paper. I attached it to Real Red card stock to make a 5x5 card. This card took me minutes to create!

The card to the left was created using the Stampin' Up! Top Note Bigz Die. I couldn't resist the little snowman & glittery snowflakes on this Christmas card I received last year. I attached the metal sentiment under the snowman and tied Bashful Blue ribbon around the Top Note die cut. The Brushed Silver card stock was the perfect card base for this recycled Christmas card.

I had a Christmas card with this snowflake piece mounted on pop dots. I carefully pealed it off the card and reapplied new pop dots and used it on this card! Since the snowflake is silver, I used a little Stampin' Up! Brushed Silver card stock as one of my layers to pull it all together.

I have truly enjoyed this little project I made up and find it to be a fun challenge! I made these cards last weekend and made four more today.

I hope I've inspired you to save those holiday cards this year so that next year you can make these too! It's good for the environment to recycle, cheaper than buying cards, and fun to see where your creativity will take you.

Have fun creating!

Pink for Christmas?

2009-12-03T21:00:00.000-05:00

If you have been a follower of my blog, you know I make a pink Christmas card every year. My card last year was a hit. Click HERE to see it! So this year I still used Stampin Up Pretty in Pink and Whisper White, but added a little Bravo Burgundy. I embossed the front of the card with a snowflake embossing folder and then colored the stamp "Merry Christmas" using My SU! markers so I could use two colors on one stamp.

What do you think of the big snowflake? I just love it. It's called the Jumbo Snowflake Punch from Stampin Up of course. This will definitely be used not only at Christmas time, but on winter birthday cards and scrapbook pages. There is also a coordinating stamp called Simple Snowflake. It's one of those single stamps you can buy pretty inexpensively!

How is your holiday crafting coming along? I would love to say I'm done, but I'm not even close. I recently worked on a really fun idea I'm going to share with you this weekend. I still need to take the pictures. I'm so behind!

Have fun creating for the holidays and be sure to stop back this weekend!

Silver Christmas

2009-11-22T20:30:00.002-05:00

Stampin' Up! makes the most amazing card stock in Brushed Gold and Brushed Silver. I've never seen any paper of this quality like it. I tend to bring it out at Christmas time, but you can use it all year. It would be great for anniversary or wedding cards!

I used the Brushed Silver in today's creation. It pairs up perfectly with the soft and delicate Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon. This Brushed Silver card stock looks gorgeous with any Stampin' Up! color you choose. You can't go wrong here. I used Ballet Blue because I wanted to stamp snowflakes to layer over the silver.

It may be difficult to see in the picture, but I added just a little paper piercing above one of the snowflakes on the silver and to the left of the "Merry Christmas" on the blue card stock. Sometimes these little touches can make a big difference in the finished product.

This morning we packed Thanksgiving dinners for the poor at our church. My son was quite the helper. He stood and helped pack the canned corn in each bag for 40 minutes straight! He was so good and was enjoying every minute of it. He is quite the helper. I was very proud of him! I hope he always has a heart and the enthusiasm for serving those who are less fortunate.

Enjoy your day and be sure to take time to stamp!

Thanksgiving Card

2009-11-18T06:30:00.000-05:00

I must admit, I LOVE making fall themed cards. I get to make a few Thanksgiving cards to send out to relatives that live out of town that we won't see. I like our family to know we're thinking about them even when we can't all be together during the holiday.

I knew I wanted to use the new Stampin' Up! Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper in the current catalog to create these cards. I couldn't decide which design because I love them all, so I narrowed it down to 5 of them. When you can't decide, use them all. Why not?!

The leaves nestled into the ribbon are from the Stampin' Up! set Falling Leaves. I stamped them on Very Vanilla card stock and carefully trimmed them with Paper Snips (who can live without these?) leaving a little border around them. Leaving a border pops the colors more. You can find a complete list of supplies at the bottom of this post.

My three (almost four) year old son told me last night he wanted to blog. I asked him what his site would be called? He said "Brandon's Cardtique". Sounds like a plan to me!

Have a great day and happy stamping!!!

Combining Stamp Sets

2009-11-16T21:15:00.004-05:00

Sometimes we tend to take out our favorite stamp set and only use that particular set to create a card. Stampin' Up! makes it easy for us to do just that. For example, the set Christ is Born provides you with images as well as verses and sentiments all in one package. It makes it very easy and fun to create, but let's take it to a different level!

Today, I am challenging you to take out two or three of your favorite stamp sets and mix and match like I did with this Christmas card. Can you guess how many stamp sets I used? If you guessed three, you are correct! I used Stampin' Up! sets Christ is Born, Four the Holidays, and Leaf Lines. It's always fun to mix things up a bit!

Let me know if you try this out. I'd love to see your creation! Feel free to e-mail me a picture. I may send you a little thank you gift if you do! (hint hint)

Coming up . . . I'll share with you the Thanksgiving cards I'm mailing out to family next week.

Eye Candy

2009-11-12T07:00:00.001-05:00

I'm back! Sorry for the break in posts, but life gets in the way sometimes. Being a working mom can be really busy sometimes! Can you relate?

In case you haven't seen or heard all the excitement over the Stampin' Up! Sweet Treat Cups in the holiday mini, I thought I would share this birthday card with you so you could see why they are so popular! They are so much fun to fill. You can really get creative with them.

I made my Sweet Treat Cup into a hot air balloon using the Sweet Centers stamp set. You'll see this set again in a couple months. There is a really cute heart in the set for Valentines Day.

Have a great day and happy stamping!!!

Pine Tree Branches

2009-11-03T19:00:00.001-05:00

Growing up we always had a real Christmas tree for the holidays. The smell was amazing, however, stepping on pine needles in your bare feet was not. Those little suckers would even get caught in your socks too. Easter would come and you were still finding pine needles in the carpet. Too funny! As the sole decorator of my own home now, I have an artificial tree. Much, much easier but I do miss the aroma. The paper from the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Set, Merry Moments, has a beautiful design of pine tree branches. It reminded me of the real Christmas trees I had growing up. I didn't want to cover up the patterned paper too much on this card, so I kept it simple by just adding a little snowflake, sentiment, and finishing it off with that big chunky ribbon. I used Kraft colored Stampin' Up! card stock to keep it earthy looking along with Chocolate Chip and Old Olive.

I had a great Halloween weekend! We went to my sister's in Indiana to trick or treat with her two boys. She lives in a big subdivision and we collected way too much candy! I've been sneaking a little out of my son's bag everyday. Shhh! Don't tell. He had a blast being a fireman for Halloween!
