Raspberry Birthday Wishes

Hi Stampers, Happy Spring Equinox! I am so excited that Spring is officially here. The flowers are blooming, the weather is warming up and the birds are singing. YAY!!

Today I'm sharing with you a Birthday card I had originally made for the UdderlyAwesome Demo Meeting at the Spaghetti Factory this month. Unfortunately, due to last minute changes in my schedule I was unable to attend. :o( Needless to say, I now have 30 of these cards that were supposed to be swapped and now I have no idea what to do with them!

Okay, enough with the chit chat and on to the card. It's another quick and simple card but I love it just the same. I was inspired by Angie Juda (love her projects!) when making this card. I used Whisper White Cardstock and the base measure 3x3. I layered a piece of Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper to the front of it and then tied the Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon around the front of the card. I stamped the Happy Birthday image from the Wow Flowers set onto Whisper White Cardstock and punched it out with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. This was then layered onto Rose Red Cardstock that was punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch. I also pierced a hole in each scallop with my Paper Piercing Tool. This was layered to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I stamped the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment also from the Wow Flowers Set. C'est Voila! That's it! ;o)

Urban Garden Thanks

Good Evening Stampers and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here is the second card we made at Yolie's Hostess Workshop. Isn't it simple yet elegant? I really liked the color combination with this card and despite the ribbon, I think it would still work as a masculine card. What do you think? The main card is made out of Basic Gray Cardstock. We then used the Scallop Edge Punch on a strip of Baja Breeze Cardstock and layered a piece from the Urban Garden Designer Series Paper over it. Next, we used the 3/8" Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon (Love it!) and tied it around the card base. We then stamped the "Thank You" sentiment from the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. It was then punched out using the Key Hole Punch and layered onto a piece of Basic Gray Cardstock. Then we attached this to the cardbase using Stampin' Dimensionals. That's it! Doesn't get any easier than that. :o)

Fifth Avenue Floral

Hi Stampers! Well, I'm feeling a little bit better today, though I still have an ongoing headache. Here is a group picture of the projects we made at Yolanda's House (my upline) at the beginning of this month. Aren't they great?

The first card we made was using the NEW set, Fifth Avenue Floral. I really love this set and hope to order it real soon. There have been lots of samples floating around with some really great color combinations using this set, but this has to be my favorite one so far. For the flowers, we stamped them using Night of Navy, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss. It was really easy, just stagger the flowers and stamp. Don't be afraid to layer them on top of each other. The result is beautiful, trust me.

The flowers were stamped on Whisper White Cardstock and layered onto Night of Navy Cardstock. We then punched the edge of a piece of Kiwi Kiss Cardstock using the NEW Eyelet Border Punch. Last, we tied the Baja Breeze 5/8" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon around the card and stamped the sentiment Birthday Wishes from Garden Greetings in Night of Navy Ink. That's it, couldn't be any easier but the result is lovely!

Fresh Cuts Card #3

Hi Stampers! Today I am sharing with you the third card we made at Sandy's house for her Fresh Cuts Class. For this particular card, we used the Fresh Cut Notes and the coordinating stamp set, Fresh Cuts. To be honest, I've had this set for a year now and never used it but after making this card I love it! The front panel on the Fresh Cut Notes is stamped with the background image from the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set, in Pink Pirouette Ink. The Pink Pirouette Cardstock peeking through the flower is embossed once again with the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate. We also stamped the small flower from the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set onto Pink Pirouette Cardstock and cut it out. It was then adhered to the front of the flower with a small White Brad. The final step was to tie the Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the front panel. That's it! Easy right?

It is my first time attending so I am excited to see all the demonstrations and take some pictures! We'll also be participating in a Card Swap so I'll post pictures of my cards and those I receive, some time next week.

Have a wonderful Saturday and Happy Stampin'!

P.S. I almost forgot: I'll be having a Sale-A-Bration Workshop on Saturday March 14 and/or Sunday March 15. Please click on my calendar of events for more details or contact me if you have any questions or would like to RSVP. Thanks!

Fresh Cuts Card #2

Hi Stampers! Sorry I didn't post last night like I had planned, but things have been pretty hectic since I am in the last few weeks of my Winter Quarter at school. Anyhow, enough about me, let's get on to the card!

This is card #2 that we made at Sandy Hancock's Fresh Cuts Class, isn't it lovely? The background of the Fresh Cuts Notecard is again done using the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate. I then adhered a piece of the Urban Garden Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card. I also punched a 1/2" Circle out of Kiwi Kiss Cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card using a Silver Brad. The last touch is the 3/8" Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon tied around the front of the card. That's it! Quick and easy.

Fresh Cuts Class Card #1

Hi Stampers!

I attended this Fresh Cuts Class held at the home of Sandy Hancock's house. She is a fellow demonstrator and I am part of her first five levels of downline, and a member of her UdderlyAwesome Stampin' Group. Sandy also has a blog, so click here to check out some of her work.

Below is a picture of the projects we made. We actually made five cards and a cute little bag/tote to hold them. Unfortunately, I needed a quick birthday card for a friend so I gave it to her before getting a chance to take a picture of it with the others. Hence, the picture below only has four cards plus the bag.

I had a lot of fun making these cards using the Fresh Cut Notes, and they were so fast and easy to put together. Plus, I got to use the Big Shot and the new Big Shot Texturz Plates! These were super easy to use and really add an extra touch of elegance to your cardstock.

This first card is one of my favorites that we made that night because of the colors. The ribbon we used was the NEW 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon. To dye the card, you simply drag the ribbon across the Almost Amethyst Classic Ink Pad using a sponge dauber. You do this to both sides of the ribbon, for several strokes, depending on how saturated you want your ribbon to be.

The background of the Fresh Cut Notes was done using the flower Texturz Plate from the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1. The Designer Series Paper that you see peeking through from behind the note card is from the Tea Party Designer Series Paper Pack. The small flower is from the Fresh Cuts stamp set, stamped onto Almost Amethyst cardstock and then cut out. It is adhered to the front of the card with a Lilac Circle Ice Brad. Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy! :o)

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Hi Stampers!

Sorry this post is so late but again, school is so hectic for me right now! Well, I just wanted to share with you the cards I made for the children in my class. They came together fairly quickly, and all of them measure 4x4. Since my school has a "No candy" policy I gave each child a Valentine's pencil, heart eraser and Valentine's sticker. They loved it!

Here's a group shot of the cards, aren't they cute!

With this first card, I paper pieced the cute birds from the Love You Much stamp set using the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper. I also used the scallop edge punch to add some detail to the bottom of the card. I love it!

For the second card I stamped the elephant from Happy Heart Day in Jet Black Staz-On ink and colored him using the Stampin' Write Marker in Going Gray. The rest of the images (heart, flowers and grass) were colored in using Blender pens and Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette ink. The card is the same layout as the above card I just turned it on it's side so that the elephant would fit nicely. The background paper is again from the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper.

The final card uses the little mouse also from the Happy Heart Day stamp set. I think he is soo cute, holding that heart. He was also stamped in Jet Black Staz-On ink and colored in using blender pens and Close To Cocoa, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Tangerine Tango Ink.

Thanks from the Heart

Hi Stampers! I just wanted to share with you a card I whipped up on Sunday. I was looking for a Thank You card to make for my customers that was not only quick and simple but pretty as well. So I was doing some blog surfing and came across this card, by Dawn Griffith. I fell in love with it right away. It came together in mere minutes!

The hearts are punched out using the Heart to Heart Punch and the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper. The "Thank You" sentiment is from the All Holidays stamp set. I also added some hearts to the envelope to match the card.

Sorry the picture is dark but my Natual Light lamp is broken! :o( I'm not sure what happened to it, after several years of owning it, it just gave up on me. So now I have to buy a new one, until then I think my pictures will be a little dark.

Love You Much Workshop Samples

Hi Stampers!

I know this took me a week or two to post but let me tell you, homework has been building up and by the time I have any free time available to stamp or update my blog I'm mentally exhausted! I am hoping to work on some Thank You cards, Valentine's Cards and goodie bags today after I get home from my cousin's Bridal Shower if it's not too late.

These are the three projects we made at my Love You Much Workshop on January 25. They were very quick and easy to make. I had to make some substitutions with some of the projects because I had ordered extra cardstock but it didn't arrive in time so I had to make do with what I had. But I still think they turned out great, don't you?

Here is the front view of a box we made to hold some Valentine's Day treats. This box was a lot of fun to make and came together rather quickly! My original idea was to make it out of Riding Hood Red Cardstock but I didn't have enough to use, since my order did not arrive in time for the workshop, so I substituted by using Chocolate Chip instead. I still think it came out cute.

I don't remember where I got the measurements to make this box, but as soon as I find the information I will post it on my blog. If you happen to know what blog I saw the tutorial on please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.

I love the little birds from this set and for the box, I used the Candylane Designer Series Paper to paper piece the two birds. Aren't they cute? I stamped them first in Close To Cocoa Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I then restamped them again with the Close to Cocoa onto two different pieces of scraps from the Candylane Designer Series Paper, cut out the bodies and glued them onto the Very Vanilla stamped images. Cute!!

This is a side view of the same box, so you could have a better idea of what it looks like. We filled it with some Skittles and mini Starbursts. Again, I needed to improvise here because I had wanted to use the small, flat cello bags to fill with treats but I did not get them in time. Oh well, such is life. The inside of the box is actually quite roomy so I'm thinking we probably could have fit some more candy inside of it. You can never have too much candy!

Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Heart Punch, Stampin Dimensionals, 1-1/4" Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, 1/8" Circle Punch

This is one of two cards we made at the workshop. Isn't it lovely? I had seen lots of samples using the Flower Fusion Too felt flowers but since I didn't have them I substituted yet again. LOL Instead, I used the Boho Blossoms punch and punched out the flowers out of Pink Pirouette and Close to Cocoa Cardstock and attached them to the flower image using the Silver Mini Brads and used my finger to curl up the petals.

The "Love You Much" was stamped using Close to Cocoa Ink and then I colored in the word using my Blender Pens and Riding Hood Red Ink. I then punched out the two hearts out of Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette Cardstock, using the new Heart to Heart Punch, and layered them over the "O." I also cut out the little heart from the scallop circle image after I stamped it onto Riding Hood Red Cardstock and popped it up using dimensionals and attached it to the scallop medallion.

The final card was a CASE from Andrea Walford. I love the way this card turned out! It's similar to the card above with a few minor changes. This is my sample that I had out for the workshop. As you can see in the picture, I did not use Pink Pirouette for my cardbase. However, I did supply my guests with Pink Pirouette Cardstock for their cards. I didn't have any enough, so my sample was made using I think it was, Pretty in Pink Cardstock.

The flower is again punched out using the Boho Blossoms punch and Pink Pirouette Cardstock and attached with the Silver Mini Brads. Tip: When attaching brads to your cards, attach them through at least a couple of layers, because if you attach it to just the top layer, the result will be lumpy, and we don't want that!

The "Love" was again colored in using Blender Pens and Riding Hood Red Ink. I stamped the hearts from the Love You Much set across the top to make a background in Riding Hood Red ink and then sponged the edges of the card. Voila!

A Frosty Christmas

Hi Stampers! Here are some cards I made for a friend, which entirely CASED and inspired by Dawn Griffith. She has a wonderful videw on how to make the icicles on the card below and on how to make the Frosty the Snowman card I made using only punches! To watch the videos go to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. She has a great blog with lots of inspiring projects!



This card was a lot of fun to make but does require patience. The icicles on top of the card were made using Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds and some wax paper. The patience comes in waiting for the Crystal Effects to dry before attaching it to your card. But I think the end result is definitely worth the wait, don't you?

The Frosty Card I think is so CUTE! He came together rather quickly, with the help of various different punches and some Dazzling Diamonds. Dawn uses the Trio Flower Punch to add the flowers to his top hat but I don't have that punch so I used the smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms Punch. Don't you just love him!

I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit Christmas Cards: Part 1

Hi Stampers! Well, I was obviously too tired to post any pictures last night but today I was finally able to catch up on some much needed sleep and I'm ready to share some pictures with you!

I sent out Christmas cards to my family, friends and Stampin' Up! Customers this year, and made them all using the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit (which is retiring). All of these cards were either entirely CASED or inspired by Jill's Card Creations. I was able to make 35 4x4" cards and only used 1/2 of my kit! If you've never used these kits, we have several available that are meant to be used to make scrapbooking easier, but they also work great for making cards! Each Simply Scrappin' Kit comes with 6 sheets of 2 Double-Sided Designer Series Papers, 2 sheets each of 4 different colored 12x12 Textured Cardstock, and 2 sheets each of 3 different Self-Adhesive Die-Cuts for just $19.95! You can't beat that.

As noted in the title above, this will be Part 1 of my shares. I will share new pictures each day to keep you interested, LOL. So let's get started, here's a group shot of the first cards I made.

And below you will find individual pictures of the 4 cards I made using the Real Red 12x12 Textured Card Stock. I love the look and feel of the textured cardstock.

Diana's Workshop Samples

Evening Stampers! Tonight, I'll be sharing the three projects that we did at Diana's Workshop last Saturday. She requested that we do a Scrapbook Page, Thanksgiving Name Place Setting and a Gift Card Holder. Of course, I obliged. So below are the projects I came up with. Enjoy!

This is a 6x6 Scrapbook Page that I CASED from the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator site just changed it by using different stamps than the ones listed. I started off by stamping the Riding Hood Red strip with the gift image from the Party Hearty Set, thinking I would make a Birthday Page. But then after stamping that image and trying to decide what colors to choose for the cupcake image I changed my mind and went for a Christmas Page instead. The set I chose to use was the Punch Pals Set. But since I had already stamped the gift, I left that part as it was but had the guests choose their own image from the Punch Pals set to stamp onto the Riding Hood Red piece, using Riding Hood Red ink. The tree image is also from the Punch Pals set and I stamped it in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock and punched out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. I used the White Metal Edge tage but just removed the white paper and attached the Christmas tree to the tag. I then took a piece of Riding Hood Red Cardstock and punched out the circle using the Scallop Circle Punch and adhered them together.

For the title I stamped just the word "Christmas" from the Heard from the Heart set by coloring it in using an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker onto the Baja Breeze Cardstock. The bottom edge of the cardstock was made using the Scallop Edge Punch. Finally, I attached the Riding Hood Red to the far right of the Baja Breeze, then tied the Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon around the Old Olive piece. I attached that just above the scallop edge. Last I used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the Christmas Tree tag to the right side of the page. Quick and easy huh?

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the glare on this picture, it's the best picture I could take. This was another quick and easy project that we made, and it's made using a Black Medium Sized Binder Clip! I cut 2 strips of the Autumn Vine Designer Series Paper and attached them to the front and back for th Binder Clip to cover it. Then I stamped the pumpkin from the Happy Blessings set onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock and punched it out using the 1" Circle Punch. It was colored in using the Blender Pens and Pumpkin Pie Ink, Old Olive Ink and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker. Then using the 1-1/4" Circle Punch I punched out a circle from a scrap piece of Old Olive Cardstock and attached the pumpkin to this piece. To attach this to the clip I used mini glue dots.

The name tag was made by cutting a piece of the Really Rust Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock and layering them together. The small pumpkin, acorn and leaf are also from the Happy Blessings set, they're actually a part of the hay image! All I did was color in that specific part of the stamp using a Chocoloate Chip Stampin' Write marker and stamping it onto the Whisper White! I then used Blender Pens to color in the images using Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Creamy Caramel Ink. Easy, Peasy! The final step is to tie a piece of Only Orange1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon around the Binder Clip and sliding in the name tag.

Again, I apologize for the poor quality of this picture. I don't know why it's so dark but the one I took that was not dark was too blurry and I took it like a thousand times! LOL The ladies loved this gift card holder a lot and I sold a lot of the supplies used to make this. I got the idea from the wonderful Dawn Griffith! She has great video tutorials on her site, so check it out when you have the chance. This was made using a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that is scored and punched using the Word Window Punch to make a slot for the gift card.

I used the Corner Rounder Punch to round the corners of the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper and the front flap of the holder. I attached two pieces of the Ski Slope DP, one to the flap and one to the front of the holder. I then used Real Red ink and Stamped Season's Greetings from the Snow Swirled Set on the bottom right corner. I then stamped the tree from the same set in Kiwi Kiss Ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and layered it onto a piece of Real Red Cardstock. Lastly, I stamped the snowflake in Baja Breeze Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and punched it out using the Snow Blossom Punch and adhered it to the Christmas Tree image using Stampin' Dimensionals. Another quick and easy project!

Holiday Mini Class Projects

Good Morning Stampers! Wow, this is the first time I post in the morning, Yay me! As I promised yesterday, today I am posting the pictures of projects I made from a Holiday Mini Class I participated in through Barbara Jackson, from the UdderlyAwesome Stampers Group. This group consists of all of my uplines, sidelines, downlines etc. They're a great bunch of stampers! This class was similar to the Halloween Treats Class that Angie Juda had available. Barbara mailed me all the supplies ( I was unable to attend the class) and instructions and I just stamped and put them together. So much fun!

Aren't these projects fabulous?! I enjoyed making these very much and think they came out great!




This was a cute little Halloween Treat Box that was made out of just 1/2 a sheet of Elegant Eggplant Cardstock! The fence image is the Frightful Fence Jumbo Wheel from the Holiday Mini. The Cat, bat and pumpkin images are all from the Halloween Frights set also from the Holiday Mini. The fence was stamped and embossed onto Glossy White Cardstock. The background was brayered with Summer Sun, and the moon was a 1-3/8" circle punched out of a Post-It Note and attached to the cardstock. I then brayered over the moon with Pumpkin Pie and Elegant Eggplant. I forgot to mention that you will do this before stamping the fence onto the cardstock. You then remove the "moon mask" and you will have a moon in your background!

The cat was stamped in Basic Black Craft Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock, embossed and then cut out. The pumpkin was stamped in Pumpkin Pie Craft Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock, embossed and then cut out. Then I adhered the Glossy White Cardstock to the Old Olive piece of Cardstock and then adhered this to the already assembled box. I attached the handles by punching a 1/16" inch circle through the box, handles and ribbon and attached them with black brads. The last part is to add the candy filled cello bag and it's finished!

This Halloween card was also quick and easy to make. The Only Orange piece of Cardstock was stamped with the Canvas Background Stamp in Basic Black. The Basic Black Cardstock piece was adhered to the very left of the Kiwi Kiss Card Base. The Only Orange was then ahdered to the very left of the Basic Black piece. Before attaching the Basic Black to the Old Olive, make sure you attach the Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain Ribbon to the Only Orange and to the back of the Basic Black, then attach this to the Old Olive. I hope I didn't confuse you!

All of the images used are from the Eat, Drink and Be Scary Set from the Holiday Mini. The hat and Definition of Halloween images were stamped onto Old Olive Cardstock using Basic Black Ink. The witch's hat was cut out and I attached Fire Square Rhinstone Brads in Orange (small and large). The definition was distressed along the edges and I then sponged the edges using Basic Black ink. Both were adhered to the front of the card using Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, you just stamp the little spider in Basic Black ink coming down the top, right side of the cardstock. The tag is made out of the Tag Punch and Small Tag punch using Basic Black and Only Orange Cardstock then attaching it to the inside using Snail Adhesive. That's it!

This cute little Thanksgiving Favor Bag is so quick to assemble and you just won't be able to help but fall in love with the cute Scarecrow! He is from the Happy Blessings Set from the Holiday Mini. Before assembling the bag you will stamp the pumpkin and haystack images from the Happy Blessings Set unto the More Mustard Cardstock in More Mustard Ink. You will then take the Key Tag Punch and punch in from the left side and stamp the Sentiment from the set on the right side, in Basic Brown Ink. He's stamped in Basic Brown unto Whisper White Cardstock and colored in using the Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens. Then cut him out and adhere him with Stampin' Dimensionals to the left of the punched out Key Tag.

You will then fill the cello bag with candy corn or whatever treats you'd like to give and attach that with Snail to the More Mustard Cardstock. Then take a piece of Autumn Vine Designer Series Paper and fold it over the More Mustard Bag. Punch out 2 holes with the Crop-A-Dile and thread a piece of Rope Twine through to keep the bag closed. After tying it up, I tied a knot at each end of the Rope Twine and unraveled the twine. That's it!

This festive card uses the Sentiment from the Elegant Cheer Set and the Tree from the Scandinavian Season Set in the Holiday Mini. The card base is made out of Riding Hood Red Cardstock. I didn't take a picture of the inside of the card, but I took the Scandinavian Wheel and rolled it down the center of the inside of the card. The tree was stamped in Always Artichoke ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and colored parts of the tree with a Blender Pen and Riding Hood Red Ink. The tree is next attached to a piece of Riding Hood Red Cardstock and then added two Red Square Rhinestones (small and large) on the tree. Then I attached the Riding Hood Red Striped Ribbon to the left of the Always Artichoke piece of Cardstock and used Snail to attach it to the back of the Always Artichoke Cardstock. Then I attached the tree to the Always Artichoke piece. Next, I stamped the Holiday Cheer Sentiment in Riding Hood Red onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock and punched it using the Designer Label Punch. I then took the Vanilla Hodgepodge frame and lay it over the Sentiment and attached the brads to the frame and cardstock. I then Snailed this onto the Artichoke Cardstock and attached the entire piece to the Riding Hood Red Cardstock.
