Stampin' Up Class Projects

I had a class on Friday with some new items from the Occasions Mini!
I love how everything turned out! I hope you enjoy them!
This first one is a take on a swap I recieved from Leadership! I LOVE this set, Clearly for You, which I also received at Leadership!
I used Soft Suede, marina mist and crumb cake cardstock. I stamped the main images in 1 inch squares and then layered them on marina mist scallop squares. The images are popped up with dimensionals on a crumb cake layer and then on a soft suede layer! I used marina mist ribbon and some jewels to bling it out!


The next card can be used for just about anything but my goal is to use it for Valentines day! This set is great too from the Occassions Mini! Valentine Defined!
I used Riding hood red, blush blossom and wild wasabi SU markers to color the heart tree and then used the exlarge circle punch to cut it out. I stamped the hearts from Confetti stamp set in blush blossom on blush blossom cardstock. I ran the wild wasabi piece through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing folder and then tied real red taffetta ribbon around it and layered it on top of Riding hood red DSP. I used markers on the saying and added some bling to it! I love how it turned out!




As always thanks for coming by!

Found it!

I finally found my mojo and my desk top to boot!
So today I decided to try my hand at SCS Color Challenge and I threw in an old Sketch Challenge in too! I had alot of fun with it! I usually dont get a chance to do these because I have Ella home with me and stuff to do around the house, but I decided to let the stuff go for right now and create!
So her is my card!
The color challenge was Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Blush Blossom!

And the Sketch I used was number 261- and it can be found below!

I stamped the train on Very Vanilla cardstock without the saying underneath. Then I used Pretty in Pink and Blush Blossom to stamp Itty Bitty Backgrounds around the outside of the image. I colored the image and added Dazzling Diamonds to the train and hearts! And then I matted the image on Melon Mambo and Blush Blossom cardstock. I set that aside and then started on my background, which I stamped I {Hearts} Hearts on Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo cardstock and then matted that on Blush Blossom cardstock and then taped that to my Melon Mambo base. After that I tied my Pretty in Pink satin ribbon in a knot. I placed my image in the middle of my card with Stampin Dimensionals. I then stamped my sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out with the Word Window Punch and layered it on Melon Mambo cardstock punched with the Modern Label Punch. I then added a Real Red cardstock heart punched out with the Heart to Heart Punch and that finishes my card! Hope you enjoyed my card!

Stampin Up Upline meeting!

Yesterday I went to my upline meeting and had a great time! I love going so I can learn new techniques,see samples, hear from people that went to leadership, lots of fun stuff! We also participated in a shoebox swap. So I will show you my sample in a second. At this particular meeting my grandmother upline (I think that's what she would be) Sherrie had opened the meeting up to any orphaned demo in the tri-county area! So I invited some of my Michigan Mingler Demo friends! We had a blast chatting and giggling! Poor Sherrie though was so sick she couldn't make the travels to Michigan from Ohio to the meeting, I hope shes feeling better soon!
So here's my card you have been waiting for!

I used the I {heart}heart set from the Occasions mini! I am loving the new Satin real red ribbon! Isn't it yummy??? I also added a border by punching some regal rose card stock with the pinking hearts border punch! I punched some of the hearts and popped them up with pop dots after I stamped the love you much sentiment from the Well Scripted stamp set in real red on the card base. What do you think? Do you like it?
Enjoy!
Thanks for looking as always!

Almost that time again!

Tonights Stamp Camp

I had a stamp camp tonight so I thought I would share two of the projects we created tonight! And the other two projects I will show you tomorrow!

This first cute little candy holder will be filled with Hershey Bliss candies. I love how it turned out. I got inspired by a SCS friend of mine Debra. She had mentioned about using the Top Note Die for the Big Shot as a Bag Topper. So this is what I put together! Hope you enjoy!
The next thing we made was a Valentine card to go with it!

Again I incorporated the Top Note die for the Big Shot into tthe making of this card!
As always thanks for looking!
Dont forget to come back tomorrow for the other to cards we made!
Enjoy

WHOooooooo would you send this too????

I love these images from Stamping Bella. I am not a fan of owl images, but I like how cute they are! I bought another owl image too but haven't used it yet, so remember to come back in then next couple days and look for a card made with more owls on it! So on to the details of my card. (sorry for the little line in the photo my program has a hiccup in it today) I started with Chocolate chip card stock, and also used real red and pink pirouette. I then used my border scallop punch on the red and pink strips. I used a piece of Candy Lane designer paper, too. I matted my image on close to cocoa and then on real red. Before I taped all these pieces down I stamped the 3 hearts from Love You Much on the chocolate chip base with clear embossing ink. I punched out 3 red hearts with Real red card stock and the Heart to Heart punch adhered them to the base then adhered my strips, main image and then stamped Love, love love in the corner which finished the card perfectly!!! The image was colored with my Copics, and the owls eyes were finished with crystal laquer.
Enjoy!

Love is in the Air!

Yet another Valentines card, I don't think I have ever made so many before in my life.
But I am so really having alot of fun making them! And I will have them for years to come!LOL Aren't these stamps adorable? They are by C.C. Designs from All That Scraps!
I used my Copics to color them in and I am very happy with the way that I shaded them!
Enjoy!

Good Sunday Morning!

Its very sunny here in Michigan and I am hoping it starts to melts some of this snow we have here. I am so in favor of the groundhog doing whatever he needs to do so that spring is here soon!

So anyway, I got out yesterday with some friends and got to be creative.It felt so go to just go and relax and have fun with my friends! So I made my kids Valentines treats. I had to make 30 for each child. Its funny how I took other things to work on thinking I was going to finish them all AND have time to do other things. NOT!!! I did finish the Valentines but had no time for anything else!

So I made these cute matchbook mini M&M's holders for all the kids in their classes. I had originally seen a tutorial on someones blog for the other package of M&M's but couldn't find those at the store so I had to come up with a template for these myself! So here are the dimensions if your interested!
For your Base you need a piece that's 9 and a 1/2 inches long by 2 and a 1/2 inches wide. Then you score it at 1 inch and at 5 and 1/2 inches. The one inch section is where you will staple your candy in, and the 5 and a 1/2 inch score line is where you will fold the front flap over to cover your candy! Make sense? Hope this picture helps alittle. Here's the inside!

The purple ones are for my daughter, and the blue ones are for my son!
I love how they turned out! What do you think?
Enjoy!

A new stamp from Stamping Bella

I couldn't resist this little guy from Stamping Bella. It makes me think of my son, Drew! I just wish they had one of a little girl as well, then I would have a matching set!
