I have my team meeting today, and our swap theme this month is from the Holiday Catalog. So while skype-crafting with my friend in the UK, I made this. I really like how it came out. I made 10. It uses the Holiday Home stamp set/framelits, (yes I fussy cut the ghosts), in-colours: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White, Basic Black and Crushed Curry card stock. Crushed Curry and Whisper White embossing powder, the special stamp set: Good Greetings.

Thanks for looking and happy stampin' :)

Scallop Tag Topper Punch...more than just a simple punch!

This weekend was Mother's Day weekend.  It was nice to just relax--somewhat.  I had a class on Saturday.  It featured the Stampin' Up! Scallop tag topper punch.  We made 3 cards, a bag and bonus project.  It was a lot of fun.  

the 3 cards we made.  I love how they came out!

 

   

 the bags started the same- depending on the cut/score is how they were different.  They're really cute to hold little surprises inside.

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Stampin' :)

Valentine's Day card

We had a team swap and for this month it was Valentine's Day.  This was my card.  I do like how it came out.  It uses Stampin' Up! Hearts a flutter stamp set and framelits, and a stamp from "See ya Later" which you can choose for FREE during Sale A Bration!  Visit my site to see all the selections you can choose for FREE and the new Occasions catalog. 

thanks for stopping by.  Have a stamptastic day!

A little Christmas fun...

I made a few Christmas cards this past Saturday at a team meeting.  I just love when I don't think I'm really going to get into a stamp set, and then I see something really cute with it.  This is the case with the Stampin' Up! Color me Christmas set...

I like how the water colour look came out.  I really do like my SU! aqua painter!  For some reason I can master that better than the blender pens.  Perhaps I'll have to work on those as well.  In the mean time-I'll stick with my aqua painter :)  I also added some SU! Dazzling Diamonds on the trim of the Santa hat, cuffs, and trim on his suit. 

This little guy is really cute!  I love using the SU! thinlet card dies.  They make such cute cards. And of course you can't go wrong with a little bling with the SU! silver paper.  I can't wait to make more Christmas cards :)

 

thanks for stopping by and having a look!  Until next time...

get your stamp on :)

Well it's been crazy the past few days!  We had to deal with Hurricane Sandy.  I was lucky enough to not have lost power (for long) or had any real damage around my house (surprising, cause I thought a few trees would have been goners)

I was lucky to be able to work in the igloo this weekend, and I was busy!  So I got to work on some items to be sold at a few craft fairs in November...

 

round 2 of the post it note holders.  I made 8 more (I have a total of 12 done) and I varied them with different ribbons/brads that coordinate with the paper.

Some have pens, some don't

then I got started on some gift tags.  These were a lot of cutting-because I didn't plan the stamping out better lol.  I made 6 sets of these. 

and here they are packaged up.  I think I want a topper for them, but I have to think about that.  This shows the front and back...

A friend of mine posted these gift card holders she worked on, and  I just had to make some too!  Oh my goodness they come together so quickly!!!  I made 10-but I have to wait for my ribbon to arrive today to finish the others LOL

and here is the inside of the gift card holder.  I lined the inside so I can hide the ribbon from behind, and give the gifter a place to write a message.

I will be working on more things....
