Swaps and Make-n-takes

Yesterday I got together with my fellow friends/demonstrators and we all brought swaps and Make-n-takes to share.  I wanted to share them with you.

 Olivia's Swap.  
She used the new Secret Garden Stamp Set from the new Spring Catalog pg 17.

 Secret garden #129141  $25.95 (w) or #129144  $18.95 (c)  
Bundles include:
Stamp set & Framelits-2 products at 15 % savings
#131100 $42.95 (w) or #131099  $36.95 (c)

Deb's Swap
Isn't this a cute card.  Deb used things  from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  
Petite Curly Label punch  #129405 
Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack  #130812  (3 ribbon spools, & 36 buttons)
Island Indigo, Pool Party, & Tangerine Tango - 5 yds ea and 36 matching buttons
Sherry's Swap
 She used the Sale-a-bration Sycamore Street Designer paper  #127540  12 sheets: 2 ea. of 6 double sided designs   12"x12" sheets


 Cheryl's Swap
I used the Rain or Shine Stamp set from the new Spring Catalog  #126775 (w) or #126777 (c) $15.95


 Deb's Make-n-Take
These are all from the Sale-a-bration catalog.
Sycamore Street DSP  #127540
Patterned Occasions Stamp set  #129621 (w)
Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button pk  #130812

Olivia's Make-n'take
This is the NEW Stippled Blossoms Stamp set in the 2012-13 idea book.  Page 78  
#126745 (w) or #126747 (c)  This is a double punch.  You punch the dark stamp in lite and the stamp with all the detail you stamp in a darker color to get that effect.  Isn't it pretty.  This stamp set is on my list to get.
Paper is the Tea for Two DSP in the Spring catalog pg 3  #129311  $10.95
Honeycomb Embossing folder pg 6 in the Spring catalog  #129378  $7.95  This fold looks great with ink sponged over it or using is with the new Cor'dinations Card Stock pg 12-Spring Catalog.  You can sand down the top of the paper and get beautiful results.  I have even then sponged the sanded areas in different inks to make a totally different look.


Sherry's Make-n-take
This card is all from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  Isn't is cute.  Remember  Sale-a-brations ends March 22nd.  With every $50.00 purchase you get a free Sale-a-bration  product.


Cheryl's Make-n-take
I used the Secret garden Stamp set.  I cut all the white papers 3 different sizes,  taped them with re-positional tape, then stamped them all taped down.  I then made a black mat for each piece of white paper and layered them down- adding a bow.  In the middle I stamped & colored 3 flowers, cut the 1st on out and the 2nd & 3 I colored and cut each one out smaller.  Used a diminsional and added some leaves ran through the crimper to give it some vains.  One rhinstone in the middle and we were done.  

I hope you enjoyed our cards from our meeting yesterday.  If you are interested in any classes, products, catalogs, or just some ideas please give me a call.  I'd love to hear from you!

Have a Blessed day

Rain or Shine

Good Morning!  Well since I  never know what the weather will be., I bought this stamp set from the new Spring Catalog.  I figured it is perfect for me.  Not only can I use it for a Thinking of you card I could also use it for a Baby Shower or Bridal Shower card.  I just love how cute it is on a card.  The 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon is also very nice.  I liked it so much I have now ordered all colors.  My card I added a sun to offset the rain.  I used the new Cloud embossing folder and then in each cloud I used Whisper White ink on a dauber and made each cloud white.  I also took Rhinestones and put on the tips of each Umbrella.    A small flower was added for detail.
       Rain or Shine Stamp set #126775 (w) $20.95
                                               #126777 (c)  $15.95
Polka Dot Parade DSP  #  #126902  $10.95  12 sheets -2 of each color-double sided     
Rhinestones  #119246  $4.95  (150 pieces)  3 sizes

Celebrate!

Decided to make a few cards to Celebrate.  A Birthday, Anniversary, Someone feeling better- what ever you want to Celebrate.  Mine is going to my friend who is recovering from surgery.  I am Celebrating her getting better.  What do you want to Celebrate?
I love these colors.  Chocolate Chip, Crumb cake, Very Vanilla, and Cherry Cobbler.  And of course some sparkle to bring it all together.  The designer brad at the bottom right is new in the new Spring Catalog.  Punch out your center and add the Jelly adhesive top to make it pop out.  It actually has a brad on the back but if you would rather use a glue dot to adhere it-the brad pops right off to make it flush to the back for your glue dot.  That is what I did.  The embossing folder is also in the new catalog.  Need a demonstrator---please give me a call.  Let's get together and do a little Stampin.

For My Valentine

So here is my thinking.  I have been making so many Valentines I decide the other day I would begin making St. Patrick's day cards & crafts.  And that is what I've been doing.  I have my St. Patrick's day
class just about finished so I can post it this weekend.  I hope you can come.  But then today I realized I hadn't made a card for my husband.  So I started thinking and what could be a better thing than candy.  And my Blossoms Builder Petal Punch #121808- $16.95 on page 185 (in the big catalog) not only makes leaves but it can make perfect Hershey's Kisses.  And I don't think anyone likes candy more than my husband.  So this is what I came up with.  I hope you like it.

I used Very Vanilla  #101650, Real Red #102482, & Early Espresso c /s #119686.  The embellishments are from the Artisan Embellishments Kit pg 10 in the new catalog # 129328- $$9.95.  The Kisses I made using my Blossoms Builder punch and the flowers are from the new catalog pg 5,  5/8" Flower Trim #126869 $6.95.  (the leaves are from the builder punch also).  The Love you is a framelit called Bitty Banners Framelits #129267  $14.95 pg 191 in the big catalog. Itty Bitty Banners Stamp set on pg 134 goes with these framelits #126255 (w) or #126257 (c).

I made the Kisses by punching about 1/2 of the large blossom in the Blossom punch.  I decided to make mine white choclolate with chocolate swirls in each one(my husbands favorite).   I cut out 1 kiss out of Early Espresso c/s and cut very small lines to make the swirls.  It worked very well and was quite easy.  I used tissue paper to stamp the Love you saying andt hen cut  out the Love you with my Framelits and used a glue dot to adhere it to the top of the kiss.    Then I took some aluminum foil and crushed it gently- then covered the kiss. (each kiss got less aluminum foil so you could see the swirls.    I used dimensionals  to pop up the kisses. 
Really not to hard and PERFECT for my Husband. 

I hope you all have a very Happy Valentine's Day!

A Special Valentine

 Only 7 more days til Valentines day.  So I decided I needed to get started on the little people I am sending Valentines to .  I need to get them out in the mail by Saturday.  Here is one I made today.  I used Calypso Coral for the color of the box.  Then I ran it through the Big Shot and used the Polka Dot embossing folder-#117335-$7.95.  My box does not have a lid.  I wanted it open so I could put in a box of conversation hearts and some sucker.  It worked out perfect. (I did put a little white tulle inside so things would stay put)   I used a doilie (pg 5 -Spring Catalog  #129399  -$2.95)  and one of the tags from the Pop-up Posies kit.  I did add Garden green c/s leaves to my flowers using the blossom Petals Builder punch # 121808 - $16.95.  The words are from the PS I love you Stamp set.
 This is the side view of my box.  I used sticky strip to tape it to the Whisper White c/s.  I wrote on the back of the card.  The flowers are from the new Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit-pg 18 in the new Stampin' Up Spring catalog.   It's a really cool kit.  Not only do you get pre-cut flowers (enough to make 9 flowers),-you also get embossed paper tags, 9 fabric brads, and Vanilla bakers twine.  The only thing you need is adhesive and ink.  The kit is $12.95  --  #131395. 
This is my box after I put the conversation heart box and suckers in it. 

I think it turned out cute.  Thanks for looking.  If there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to call me.  Have a fun week!

Valentine's Day Card

Valentines Day is only 10 day away.  Wow, how time flies.  This is a card  I made last night.  I used the Petal Card Ex Lg double punch and made some small little envelopes and put all colors of Valentines in each one.  I also used the hearts embossing folder from the 2012-13 catalog.  The flower is from the Artisan Embellishment kit in the new Spring Catalog.  I used this kit this weekend during a class.  Everyone who came received a kit and we made 2 cards with the kit and another craft project.  Everyone took home the unused portion of the kit to finish making their Valentines.  Great Embellishment kit.  Check it out.  You can use it on so many things.
