A Musical Christmas

Hello Hivers,

I fell in love with the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper the moment I seen it in the Holiday Catalog.  I knew that I could and would create wonderful things with it.  These two cards just have slight differences between them.  I love them both.  I seen the layout for this card over on Pootles blog.

Christmas Wishes

Hello Hivers,

I told you that you can make a variety of cards using the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper.  Here I used the cut outs of Santa going down the chimney.  I used a red sharpie marker to color the Rhinestone Jewels and Old Olive classic ink to sponge around the sentiment. The sentiment was cut out using the 4th Lots of Labels Framelits.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the background was embossed using the Decorative Dots embossing folder.

Supplies:

Cozy Christmas stamp set
Home for Christmas DSP

Pool Party card stock:  8.5" x 5.5" scored at 4.25"
DSP:  4" x 2.25" and 2.5" x .5"
Very Vanilla card stock:  5.25" x 4" and 3' x 2.25" (sentiment)
Basic Rhinestone Jewels
Lots of Labels Framelits
Decorative Dots Embossing Folder
Stmapin' Write Markers:  Real Red and Old Olive

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Hivers,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  Today I am sharing a video featuring a kit that can be easily overlooked in the Annual Catalog on Page 155.  It's the Build a Banner Kit.  It comes with everything you need except for the re-inker in the color of your choice.  Those can be found on Pages 137-141.

Enjoy the video.

Dressy Chapstick

Hello Hivers,

Here is a project I made using a Retired Framelit set.  I watched a video tutorial over at frenchiestamps.com.  I can't remember who I gave this to.  I love how the DSP matches the Stampin' Up! lip balm.  Even though more than half the items in my collection are retired, I will still continue to use them.  Some things are just that Awesome.

Cozy Bricks

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a Christmas card made using the Brick Wall embossing folder.  I love the way it turned out.  I inked up the embossing folder with Tip Top Taupe classic ink to get the grout lines.  I used a red sharpie marker to color the Rhinestone Jewels then I sponged all the pieces using the Tip Top Taupe classic ink, as well.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,

My Paper Pumpkin September 2015

Hello Hivers,

So, as I stated previously, I didn't order the September 2015 Paper Pumpkin.  However, I did order 4 of the Refill Kits to make up some more of these cute bags to be used at Thanksgiving.  I must say I noticed some very big differences with the bags I used from the corner store and Stampin' Up! bags.
The SU! bags are smaller, but they are so much thicker, thereby, sturdier.  Having everything already cut and ready to go made this project super easy and quick to put together.
Because I only purchased the refill kit, I wasn't able to get the stamp set or ink spot.  So, on my tags I used the Trust God stamp set with Tangerine Tango classic ink.

Pretty in Pink

Hello Hivers,

Okay...I forgot this project was part of the teacher appreciation gifts from last year.  The tag has the teachers initial on it. I used two different letter "B's", one on each side of the tag.

Just about all of the items used are now retired.  But the purse is still pretty.  It can easily be recreated with current products.

A Sticky Thanks

Hello Hivers,

Here is the last teacher appreciation gift that I made for my daughters teacher last year.  It is a sticky note holder.  I love this stamp set, although it is retired.  It is called Friendship Preserves.  I believe that I seen the the tutorial for this note holder over at dawnsstampingthoughts.net.

I really like the color combination that I used, here.  All the bling really makes this project stand out.  I will continue to share my projects.  I would like to hear from you.  What type of projects do you like for me to share?

My Paper Pumpkin May 2015

Hello Hivers,

I am finally getting around to sharing the photos of my Paper Pumpkin kit from May.  My Paper Pumpkin is a surprise in a box that will be delivered to your door each month for only $19.95 a month.  Each month has a different theme.  As you can see the theme for May was birthdays.  The kit made six cards and four gift bags.  They even provide the envelopes. You can either follow the directions that come with your kit or venture out a bit, like I did, and change things up.  It's your choice.

Handbag

Hello Hivers,

Here is a handbag that I created using my favorite colors...Red and Black.  I used a tutorial I found over at Persephone's Papercraft.

I used the retired Back to Black DSP to decorate with.  I also added a tag with my personalized stamp.  I so wish that Stampin' Up! would have continued to offer these.
