Product from the new catalog


I ordered a few items from the new 2009 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog and thought you might like to see them. These are the items I took a picture of: Scallop Edge Punch, 5/8" Whisper White Ribbon, 5/8" Neutral Brads and Accent & Elements Fleurettes.

I love the new Eyelet Border Punch! It's very similar to the Scallop Edge Punch and I used my new punch for the card that I posted earlier today. Aren't the Fleurettes adorable? They remind me of the dollies that my mom use to crochet for me! The Whisper White Ribbon is very sheer and absolutely beautiful; can't wait to use it. The brads are pretty big, and I think will be fun to embellish with!

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you and your family have a great weekend!

A Little Something Card


Today's SCS Challenge was to create a simple card. This is what I came up with using the 2 of the new SAB sets you can earn starting February 1st, and the new Eyelet Border Punch. I inked the flower stamp using Regal Rose and Certainly Celery markers and then stamped the image 3 times (not reinking before I stamped). I inked up the saying using the same markers and used the Stamp-a-ma-Jig to postion it on the card. Thanks for taking a peek!

Stamps: SAB Botanical Blooms & Yummy Sets
Markers & Ink: Regal Rose & Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink
Papers: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Regal Rose Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Stamp-a-ma-Jig, Stampin' Dimensionals, Scissors

Pun Fun Card



For today's SCS challenge you had to make a card with the main focus being black cardstock. I love using the Bella Rose DP - it is so versatile! This is what I came up with. After I finished the card, I wasn't quite sure I liked it. So I carefully took off the stamped image and inserted a black strip on the bottom that I punched using the Scallop Edged Punch. I then pierced the holes on the scallops. I like the second card better. Here's the details:

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Inks: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasbai, Going Gray
Paper: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Bella Rose DP
Accessories: Black and Pink Brad, Paper Piercing Kit, Watercolor Brush, Black Gingham Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sponge, Ticket Corner Punch, Scallop Edge Punch

Love you Much


This is a card that I made today for the SCS challenge. Today you had to use designer paper and use it in an unusal way. I used a Sizzix heart die and used retired Cutie Pie DP for to die cut the heart. I then ran the heart through the Big Shot using a CB dot embossing folder. I then cut a punch of hearts out using the new heart punch. I stamped "love" and cut it out (so thankful for the great SU trimming scissors!). Here's the details:

Set: Love you Much
Inks: Basic Black, Rose Red, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Black Marker
Papers: Whisper White, Cutie Pie DP (retired), Bliss Blue

Lovely as a Tree


I saw this card done by Heather Telford (blog:http://cardz.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/still-winter/) and thought it was very pretty. I changed my card around - added some black brads and a small piece of ribbon. This card was very easy to do and I think would make a great "man" card! I think it will be one of the projects at my stamp camp on Sunday! Here's the details:

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Warm Words
Papers: Apricot Appeal, Basic Black, Whisper White
Inks: Basic Black, Apricot Appeal, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Spice, Going Gray

Another Love you Much Card


This is another card similar to others I have made using this set, but thought I would try using the Top Note Die with the balloons. Not sure if I like it, but that's the beauty of stamping - you can always keep playing until you get it to look how you want it!

My "New" Stamping Room






Happy New Year Everyone! I hope 2009 is a year filled with many blessings for you and your family!

Ben and I switched rooms at the beginning of the week and I know have my old stamping room back - with plenty of room to move and stamp. It took me 3 days to move and set everything up, and I am very glad that I'm done! The only thing I have left to do if put up my towel racks for my ever growing collection of Stampin' Up! punches.

Don't forget about my upcoming Stamp Camp on Sunday, January 18th @2:00! We will be making some cards with some new sets from the upcoming catalog. The cost of the camp is $20.00 and I need your pre-paid registration by Wednesday, January 14. Hope to see you there!
