Welcome Little One

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  We're busy with VBS over here but I'm trying to squeeze in a little stamping and blogging time!  I cased this card from the new catalog for a friend last week.  She's having a little girl after two boys so it was fun to get her a few girly gifts and make a girly card!  I just thought it was the cutest little, sweetest little card.  Don't forget that when you're short on time or creativity or both, the catalog has fabulous inspiration waiting for you!  And even if you don't have all of the exact supplies, you can always make it work!


The Bird Ballad DSP had the perfect sheet of pink paper!  My little critters are colored with Blends and the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit had the perfect little felt hearts for accents!

Happy stamping!

February Is Flying By

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  How can it be the week of Valentine's Day already?  January was so long but in true fashion, February is flying by!  I'm way behind on Valentine production but at least Ian's treats are mostly done thanks to January's My Paper Pumpkin!

I actually had a class with some friends and the refill kits (which are sold out now, I got them early, knew they'd be hot) over the weekend and we cranked out some pillow boxes!  We were delighted to find that there were a lot of extra pieces left over.  I supposed I knew this but I can't count ;-)  This kit was so amazing since it coordinated with the Animal Outing Bundle in the catalog!


While I used one of the remaining cut outs from the kit, you could easily swap out the stamped image in the stamp set for this card!  I actually was going to make it with the stamp set and then decided I was way too lazy to stamp and color it, LOL!  I just love these bright colors together!

Happy stamping!

One In A Chameleon

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I have something fun for you today I think!  But first, we have to talk about My Paper Pumpkin or MPP for short!  My Paper Pumpkin is our cute and fun little surprise crafting box that shows up every month.


MPP is perfect for everyone but especially beginners or people who don't have or want to invest a lot of time, money, and space but still want to make pretty things!  The boxes come with everything you need to make the projects which vary from month to month (hence the surprise).  I had actually taken a break from it for a while and I was a SAD PANDA when I saw January's box!  It was SO cute!  And so fun!  They had made the kit so it coordinated with one of our current bundles in the Annual Catalog, Animal Outing!



This is one of the cutest sets in the catalog, I think!  There is a designer series paper that coordinates, too!  Anyway, I was able to snag a box from my friend and I'm having some friends over to make the cute Valentine's tomorrow!  I'll share them next week!

But, I've made some things with the stamp set from the paper pumpkin kit and I'm in love with this one!  I did a watercolor background and I will say this one took a while.  I let all of the layers and colors dry in between so make sure you have some time if you want to re-create it!


And it's so funny that Ian just came home yesterday with a chameleon he'd made at school where they are learning about them!  He's requested lots of cards and treats (lol) for Valentine's so I'll have to include this one for him!  He really is one in a million so this is perfect! ;-)

But seriously, how cute and clever is this?  I just love it!

They have also given us a little sneak peek into this month's kit!  It's sure to be cute and they have let us know it's cards!  If you want to sign up, you can just click HERE and make sure you put me as your demonstrator.


You can also sign up for pre-paid boxes (6 and 12 months) in my store using the shop 24/7 link over to the right and earn FREE Sale A Bration items!

Happy stamping!

Fancy Friday

Hi stampers!  It's Fancy Friday Time!  We are a group of friends and both current and former Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team members who come together once a month to knock your socks off ;-)

This month's theme is all about the bundles!  Our Annual Catalog is just filled to the brim with cute bundles that coordinate seamlessly to make the cutest projects!  You can get a stamp set and either a punch or framelits for 10% off when you buy them in the bundle!  Who doesn't love cute and a discount????

I chose Animal Outing because I haven't used it enough and it's amazingly cute!


I actually kept my projects rather simple but that's because I wanted the focus to be on the awesome embossed backgrounds!  I used the framelits and our Embossing Mats to add some interest and texture.

You can check out the process here in this video!



I posted a video recently using the mats in shapes that were cut out but I wanted to make one for the backgrounds as well, where nothing is actually cut out.


For this card, I colored my giraffes using the Mango Melody Blends markers.  I think it makes the prefect giraffe color!  A few branches from the die set in Call Me Clover are the perfect finishing touch.


For my rhino card, I also colored him and his little friend with my Blends.  I think that background is so cool!  Isn't it just a fun texture?  You can see in the video how I lined them up twice.

Do you have this bundle and/or the embossing mats yet?  If not, you totally should!  Now it's time to hop on over and see my amazingly talented friend Marisa!  You're going to love what she did with her bundle!  
Happy stamping!
