Christmas in July - Stamping 411 Challenge

Happy Monday! We are on vacation this week and I've been looking forward to this vacation for weeks. We actually decided to stay home and just relax and enjoy some of the activities around us, so far it's been put put golf, we had a lot of fun and Chris only had to go into the fountainn twice to retrieve our golf balls gone astray. One of the best things about this vacation so far is that I've actually be able to stamp, which means I'm back to the Stamping 411 challenge. Since one of my projects this week to get a headstart on our family christmas cards I thought that what better subject for this weeks challenge than a christmas card. I love the new Tree Trimmings stamp set and have been excited to use the new set. I started with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and and stamped my various ornament images with Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Real Red classic ink (this is a great opportunity to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure the strings line up with the ornaments and the ornaments are placed right).

I mounted the stamped image to layer of Old Olive cardstock and used the mat pack to punch three holes in the top right corner that are all lined up, perfect for the Siver Brads. The Merry Moments DSP paper matches the stamp set perfectly, there are even ornament images on some of the paper, how cool!!! The center strip uses a 1" strip of DSP mounted on Chocolate Chip cardstock. The candy cane striped DSP is mounted to the Chocolate Chip cardstock base. I added a piece of Very Vanilla to the inside of the card so I could punch a peek-a-boo hole with the Modern Label Punch for the greating to show through to the front. The greeting, stamped in Old Olive, is from the Teenie Tiny Messages stamp set, a new set to the catalog and one that has already become on of my favorite go to sets due to its versatility. I also stamped on of the ornaments on the inside of the card with Real Red ink so it's very festive.

I really like how the card turned out and it definately makes me think of the holidays, even if it is 90 degrees outside.

Hope you have a great week and stay cool!

Circle Circus Get Well Wishes

We had a great stamp-a-stack on Sunday trying out the new In Colors and stamp sets, thank you all who were able to attend. I must admit after Sunday I haven’t been motivated to create new things (I know, it’s hard to believe). Today’s card uses the new Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets. I started with a Melon Mambo card base love this color. I used the swirl image from the Razzle Dazzle stamp set and Melon Mambo ink and repeatedly stamped the image on the top half of the card. Then, I cut a strip of Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and stamped the swirl with Rich Razzleberry ink on top of the DSP (it adds a unique touch to the DSP). The DSP was matted on a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock and adhered to the card.

For the circle image I used the large circle pattern and stamped it once with Crushed Curry ink and once with Rich Razzleberry ink on whisper white cardstock. I used my Scallop Circle punch and punched out a plain piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the Razzleberry stamped Circle. Then I used the 1” circle punch to punch out the center of the Crushed Curry stamped circle before being glued on top of the Rich Razzleberry stamped image (plain Razzleberry scalloped circle is layered behind). Then I used the Crop-a-dile to punch a hole in the center of the circle and inserted a Clear Crystal Circle Brad.

A piece of Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon was wrapped around the DSP strip before the circles were attached to the cared. Finally, I adhered a piece of Whisper White Cardstock in the inside of the card, used the new Modern Label Punch to punch a window in the card front and used a greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and Rich Razzleberry Ink to stamp the greating through the window and onto the inside of the card.

Ta Da ….nice, simple, pretty card! I have noted that this is definitely my “go to”card layout and is definitely my favorite since it works with a variety of stamped images, shapes, etc.

I do promise that I will be heading back into the stamp room soon and am already starting to plan upcoming classes, such as a Big Shot II class as well as a holiday class utilizing holiday Simply Scrappin’ kit, so stay tuned for more details.

Razzle Dazzle Birthday

I'm really enjoying the new stamp sets and In Colors from the new catalog. While I don't receive my new catalog order until tomorrow (come on Mr. Brown, looking for an early delivery) but these items were from the sneek peak offering (just one of the perks of being a demonstrator).

The card base is Rich Razzleberry and I used the Razzle Dazzle stamp set and Rich Razzleberry ink to stamp the print along the left edge. Then I added a piece of Razzleberry Lemonaid DSP (I love this paper). For the main image, after using Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Markers (you've got that right, we have markers for the new In Colors, whoo hoo) on the flower image I stamped in on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I matted the image on a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock and used the Horizontal Slot punch in the top left corner. Then I threaded a piece of Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon through the slot and wrapped it around the DSP before mounting it to the cardbase.

The sentiment uses the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (also new this year) on a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock with Rich Razzleberry Ink. Then I used the Modern Label Punch and popped the greating up with Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy this card. We'll we using this stamp set and DSP for a different card this Sunday at Stamp-a-Stack. Also, we'll be using the Circle Cutter Plus (you'll get to play with this great new tool) as well as learn a new technique. There is still time to RSVP so please email ASAP if you are interested in attending.

Have a great evening!

Stamping 411 Challenge, Wow Birthday.

We have really been enjoying the holiday weekend and I must admit I'm not looking forward to heading back to work tomorrow. We were able to spend the 4th of July with some friends out a Great Meadow. There was great event that ended with fireworks (of course). We had a great time, especially given the fact that it wasn't hot or humid yesterday (what a change from the normal Viriginia weather this time of year.

For this weeks Stamping 411 challenge challenge I wanted to show off some of the fabulous new In Colors that I'm already enjoying. The card base uses Rich Razzleberry and added a piece of Razzleberry Lemonaide DSP along with a stripe of Crushed Curry Cardstock. I wrapped a piece of Rich Razzleberry Polka Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon.

For the stamped image is used the Wow Flowers stamp set, I kind of thought the pattern on the DSP was similar to the stamp image. I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock 3 times, with Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo ink. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole out of the center of the starburst so that the cardstock would show through and used my 1", 1 1/4", and 1 3/8" circle punches to create the layers. For the greating I stamped the birthday greating with Rich Razzleberry in on Crushed Curry cardstock. Then I punched the greating out with the Modern Label Punch and partially wrapped it around the DSP before adhering it with SNAIL.

I hope you like this weeks card and I'm sure once you see and use the new In Colors you'll love them too! Don't forget July's Stamp-a-stack will be next Sunday, July 12 at 2:00 PM and we'll be using the new In Colors and new stamp sets so contact me to reserve your spot.

Happy Sunday!

Happy 4th of July!

I don't know about you but I love this holiday, it always reminds me of the parades, family picinics, and fireworks from my childhood and now I get to share all those experiences with Aidan and share in his joy. As a special treat for the holiday made Chris and Aidan these cute little gifts. They were super easy with the Big Shot and the Matchbox die. I used non-SU! paper (had to use the flag paper) which matched perfectly with the Riding Hood Red Cardstock. The words are from the Teenie Tiny Wishes stamp set (a fabulous set from the new catalog).

I used the Large Star Punch to cut the star from the front cover and used piece of transparency to cover the hole. This gift would not be complete without the special Red, White, and Blue M&M's so we went to Wegman's so we were able to mix our own custom blend, perfect for the holiday.

Also, I participated in a new catalog card swap on Split Coast Stampers and just received my new samples today. These ladies made some great cards and I just had to share this card with you since it seems to perfectly suit the holiday.

Jacy Smith made this great card and used the new Punch Window Movers & Shapers die for the Big Shot. The small Whisper White Start is covered in Dazzling Diamonds which looks great in person.

Hope you and your family are able to have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

I did it! Farewall 2008-2009 Stampin' Up! In Colors

After missing the deadline last week for last weeks Stamping 411 challenge I was determined to not only get my entry ready early, but actually posted (go figure…) I love this weeks challenge since this is a layout I usually do in landscape format and it was fun to turn it around to vertical.

The card base uses Riding Hood Red cardstock and has a piece of Bella Rose DSP (it’s funny, I really didn’t like this years In Colors when they first came out and didn’t like this DSP when I saw the sneek peak samples, but knowing how much I love DSP I ordered it anyway and I’m so glad I did. Not only did this DSP become my favorite paper all year but it made me fall in the love with the In Colors and now I’m sad that they are retiring on Wednesday). Anyways, the middle strip starts with a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock that I used the Eyelet Border Punch. Inside that is another piece of Bella Rose DSP. I wrapped a piece of Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon (showing the Very Vanilla side) and tied it in a pretty little knot. For the image I used the Dreams de Jour stamp set and stamped the main image on Whisper White Cardstock with Basic Black classic ink. I used a Blender Pen to color in the flowers using Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, and Pink Pirouette Classic Ink Pad. Then I cut out the image with my Paper Snips to make sure I got the bits of flower and leaves that peak out from the border. I punched out a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock with the Square Scallop Punch for the base and mounted it with Dimensionals so it pops.

I really like this card, very simple but pretty!

Also, I wanted to remind you that I have a couple of more spots in the In Color Ribbon sampler so please let me know ASAP if you are interested in joining. Also, our next Stamp-a-stack is scheduled for July 12 and we’ll be playing with the new In Colors, DSP, and Stamp sets (as well as the circle cutter plus) so make sure to reserve your spot soon!

Thanks and have a great day!

New Catalog Sneek Peeks

While I'm still working on samples with some of the new stamp sets I thought I would share a few Sneak Peeks from our upcoming Stampin’ Up Fall/Winter Catalog that comes out July 1st.

I hope these samples have raised your excitement for the new catalog and all the great new projects we'll be able to create. Have a great weekend!

Bloomin' Beautiful Stamping 411 Challenge and Excititing News

What a crazy week! I don't seem to know where the week went, I'm so looking forward to the weekend.

I finished this weeks card for the Stamping 411 challenge on Monday and even took the picture but have not been able to post until now. I also missed the time to post my entry but I thought you would still like to see my creation. I started with a base of Baja Breeze cardstock (can you tell this is one of my favorite colors of all time??) And then used the Walk in the Park DSP (from the Occasions Mini Catalog). I used a strip of DSP from the same package as my accent and layered it with Basic Grey Cardstock (this color is definately growing on me). I stamped my main image from the Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set and they tried the technique from the current IDC where you stamp the definition on the pot by masking the pot.


I colored the pot with a Creamy Caramel Stampin' Write Marker and the leaves with the Mellow Moss Marker. Since we all know I don't care to water color an image this big I used a Sponge Dauber with the Cameo Coral Classic Stamp Pad and just kept layering the ink until I got the coverage I wanted. I used the White Gel Pen to highlight the centers of the Flowers. I also stamped the bee on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, colored it in with a So Saffron Marker and cut it out with my paper snips. The little be is mounted with a dimensional so it pops. Then, I used the horizontal slot punch to cut an opening and threaded my Whisper White Ribbon from the Dress Up Ribbon Originals Pack. This ribbon is great because it has a lace look to it so I thought it really suited this card.

The entire image is matted with Basic Grey cardstock and then mounted to the front of the card.

I hope you enjoy the card, I decided to make it a birthday card for our friend Mary, so I hope she likes it.

Also, I have some very exciting news....the UPS man dropped of my 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog order. I love the new catalog and know that you will to so contact me to get your copy soon. There are 3 ways to get your copy:

1) Host a workshop

3) Pay $10 (and you'll receive a $10 gift certificate to be used on your first order.


I hope you are enjoying your week and we only have 5 more days before we can order from the new catalog so make sure to contact me to order any items from the Last Chance List that are on your Wish List before they are gone.

Have an enjoyable weekend and I hope to be better posting my card next week!

Happy Thursday…..

So this weeks Mojo Monday challenge presented an interested dilemma. I don’t normally make cards that are not the standard 4 ¼” x 5 ½” so I decided to make a 3” x 6” card that would fit into our Small Open-End Envelopes (this size is also perfect for giving money)! This dilemma has also caused me post a little late in the week, but it's better late then never.

Anyway, I started with a base of Baja Breeze and added a layer of Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP (I’m so sad this paper is retiring, I love the color combo, prints, as well as the texture!!!!) with a band of 5/8” Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon. Then I used an alternate piece of DSP which was cut to 1” x 3” and was matted with Chocolate Chip Textured Cardstock. I decided to do something different and use my greeting as the focal image, from the Full of Life Stamp set and stamped the birthday saying on a piece of Whisper White which was matted with Baja Breeze Cardstock. I took a little bit of liberty with the challenge layout and moved my embellishment to the bottom right corner (it just looked better). For the embellishment I used 2 different flowers from the Flower Fusion Too Accents and Elements (also retiringL) and attached both of them to the DSP with a Clear Rhinestone Brad.

I like the elegant simplicity of this card, perfect for a birthday of any age. I hope you enjoyed the challenge as well and just think of all the possibilities just by substituting different DSP and stamps.

Stamping 411 - Happy Father's Day

Happy Tuesday!

Where did spring go? It seems like just yesterday we were thawing out from winter and I can't believe Aidan started summer camp this week (which he loves!). I believe the best way to pay honor to all the father's in our lives than making a father's day card for this weeks Stamping 411 Challenge. This weeks card uses the And Many Mower stamp set, from the Occasions Mini Catalog and I'm so sad to say good-bye to it at the end of the month. Starting with a base of Baja Breeze Cardstock (only one of my favorites ever!) along with the Manchester DSP , made quick work for a very masculine card that any dad will love. I also used the Very Vanilla Styled Hodgepodge Hardware to frame the greeting. I really liked this challenge as it demonstrated a great way to use up all those scraps of DSP that we have laying around.

Hope you have a great week and Happy Dad's day to all the men in my life!

You Take the Cake....Mojo Monday Challenge

So I'm kind of enjoying these design challenges and since it's so rainy and gloomy this morning I had to make a cheery card, and what's better than a birthday! Today's challenge is Mojo Monday and one thing I really like about these challenges is that they provide the layout and it's up to you to create your own unique interpretation.

Today's card was created with the Party Hearty stamp set and Sweet Always DSP. It's not too challenging a card which is great for the start of the week.

Hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Stamping 411 Challenge

Happy Monday!

After an exhausting and fun weekend of stamping and gardening I decided that I wanted to start taking part in design challenges to test my creativity. I found this great new challenge, Stamping 411, run by some great ladies who are some of my frequent blog visits so what better way to start out.

My entry for challenge #2 uses 2 stamp sets that we'll be saying goodbye to at the end of the month. I used Happy Heart Day for the main image and Say it with Scallops for the greating. My cardbase is Riding Hood Red and I used the Washington Apple DSP (what better paper since I'm from the great state of Washington to tie all the colors together. I used the same designer paper to stamp the elephant image on and cut it out with my Paper Snips (love to use designer paper instead of coloring in large images!) I also used a bit of the Pumpkin Pie Ric Rac Ribbon from the Pig Tails Ribbon Originals. It seems like I know a lot of graduates this year and I think this card definately fits the occasion.

This challenge was a lot of fun and I hope you like my first entry and stay tuned to see what I can come up with next!

I Made Stamper's Showcase!!

Wow, this is so cool!

One of my cards made Stamper's Showcase today on the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website!

On Stampin' Up!'s demonstrator website they have a section call Stamper's Showcase where they show 6 creations from demonstrators throughout the world. I'm so excited this was my first (and hopefully not last) time.

It's hard to tell from this card but I actually used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and stamped the image with VersaMark on the Whisper White Cardstock and then embossed the flowers with Whisper White Embossing Powder, it's really pretty in person and very elegent.

Hopefully the rain will end and we'll enjoy a beautiful weekend.

Take care!

The heat has returned…..

For some reason every time it gets hot and humid I think of heading to the beach (which means living in Northern VA I’ll be day dreaming a lot over the upcoming months!) Today’s card definitely transports me to the beach. I started with a strip of Whisper White cardstock and used the Lazy Days Jumbo Wheel (from the mini catalog) with Pumpkin Pie ink. Then I tore one edge of the cardstock (this is a great way to kind any crooked “wheeling,” as well as a piece of Pacific Point. I attached these 2 strips together and attached them to the left side of my base of Whisper White Cardstock. Then I stamped the main image, I’m thinking it looks like a PT Cruiser (from the Just Beachy stamp set) in Chocolate Chip ink and colored it in with Creamy Caramel, Real Rust, Pumpkin Pie, and Close to Cocoa Stampin’ Write Markers. I used a mat of Pumpkin Pie to set this off from the rest of the card. The sun image was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink on Summer Sun cardstock and then I used the Stampin’ Sponge with the Pumpkin Pie ink to soften the sun and give it some texture. I cut out the sun with Paper Snips and used a Dimensional so the sun popped. The greating is from the Family Phrases stamp set (I love this versatile set, it’s not so serious) with the Pacific Point ink.

Also, you can’t see it from the picture but I stamped one of the fish images with Pacific Point ink on the inside bottom of the card just to add something to the white inside.

What do you think? I like the fun tone to the card and definitely something that could be given to a kid or man in your life. It also seems to have gotten the “Aidan seal of approval,” he was with me while I was stamping and has already asked to give it to daddy for his birthday, so we’ll see.

Hope you have a great day and are able to stay cool!
