Snowman Side Spring Card

This card just makes me smile every time I look at it! Inspired by my friend Robin Armbrecht's swap card at our last group meeting, I designed this side spring card for my Stamp Club. There's a great step-by-step tutorial on Splitcoaststampers here. (I will confess, it still confuses me when I make it and try to fold a new one!)

Even with the unique fold, this card will still fit in a regular size Medium envelope. I added a Stampin' Dimensional under the right side of the front flap to hold the card down a little. Because of that, it doesn't quite open all the way, but you can still see the sentiment inside.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Snow Swirled, Thank You Kindly, Full of Life, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Bashful Blue ink & cardstock, Poppy Parade ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Basic Black cardstock, Snowflake Punch (for the snowman's arms!), 2-1-2/" Circle Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Snowburst Embossing Folder (Big Shot), Poppy Parade ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Googly Eyes

I {heart} Hearts Shaker Card

It may seem early, but Valentine's Day is just six weeks away, so it's time to start shopping for your card-making supplies. There is a great selection of designer paper, rub-ons, ribbon, and punches perfect for Valentine's Day in the Clearance Rack. Click here to shop for deals -- up to 80% off original price!

This Valentine card was one of our Stamp Club projects. We used the Holly Berry Bouquet paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Make sure to order before January 3rd, when the catalog ends. This is technically "Christmas" paper, but many of the patterns are holiday neutral and the red glitter stripes (on this card) and polka dots are perfect for Valentine's Day!

We used the Shaker Frames under the Top Note die cut with a small piece of Window Sheet to create the shaker under the hearts. We used the Heart to Heart punch to punch small red hearts from the Red Glimmer Paper to go in the shaker.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: I {heart} Hearts, Short & Sweet, Occasions Alphabet, Real Red ink, Pretty in Pink ink & cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper, Peekaboo Frames die (Big Shot), Real Red Satin Ribbon, Shakers Frames, Heart to Heart Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Top Note Die (Big Shot), Stampin' Dimesionals

Designer Paper Ornament & Colored Rhinestone Tip

I'm back!!! Did you miss me? So sorry for my blog silence the last couple weeks. Life got kind of crazy and posting my projects just got pushed to the bottom of the list. I have lots to share and am ready to get back to regular posting, so don't give up on me! I'm very excited to use my new Christmas gift from my hubby -- a mini photo studio to take photos of my projects! I prefer natural light and with the sun going down so early, I just haven't been able to get great photos. Now I'll be able to take photos when I have the most time -- which is usually after the kids go to bed!

Here's a project we made last week in Stamp Club. We took 1/2" x 6" pieces of the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper and wrapped it around a pen. We pulled the curls apart to stretch them out and put them inside a glass ornament. (The Chocolate Chip cardstock ring at the bottom is just for keeping the ornament upright.)

Don't miss the tag! It looks pretty simple using the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set, but the best part is the colored Rhinestones. Yep -- COLORED rhinestones! Nope, it's not a sneak peek product. I used the Basic Rhinestone Jewel Accents and colored them with a permanent marker! Just think of the possibilities!!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Pines & Poinsettias, Tiny Tags, Chocolate Chip marker, Wild Wasabi marker, Real Red marker, Whisper White cardstock, Wild Wasabi cardstock, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Rhinestone Jewel Accents, Real Red Satin Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, 1/16" Hole Punch

Petite Pocket Nugget Box Tutorial

Don't you just hate it when you see a really great project and then just HAVE to order the product used to make it? For me and my fellow demonstrators who attended the Louisville Regional Seminar in October, that was definitely the case with the Petite Pocket die. Bonnie Thurber from the home office showed us some amazing projects using this die. Click here to view a simple Christmas treat pocket and click here to see the Blushing Bride mini pocket album.

The biggest wow for me was this little box. Can you believe THIS box came from the Petite Pocket die!? Well, it did! Follow the instructions in my free step-by-step photo tutorial to learn how to make this box yourself.

Note: I did not use any adhesive on the flap of the box. The belly band of designer paper wrapped around the box keeps the flap closed. Slide the belly band down to open the flap and the box.

I love that the box is the perfect size for some wrapped chocolate nuggets. And the It's a Wrap Occasions set is the perfect stamp set to use for just that!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Stitched Stockings stamp set, Tiny Tags stamp set, It’s a Wrap Occasions stamp set Garden Green marker & cardstock, Cherry Cobbler marker & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Frostwood Lodge DSP, Stocking Builder Punch, Jewelry Tag Punch, Petite Pocket Die (Big Shot), Simply Scored Tool, Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine, Jingle Bells, Mini Glue Dots, Sticky Strip

Two Tags Stocking Gift Card Holder

This gift card holder was inspired by one that my friend Robin Armbrecht designed for our group meeting last month. I loved Robin's version with red and green and holly, but I didn't have the same products, so I changed things up and created this Marina Mist & Crumb Cake version.

The tag, cut from the Two Tags die on the Big Shot) fits perfectly inside the cardstock sleeve and holds a gift card! The cardstock sleeve is 4-1/4" x 6-1/8" Crumb Cake cardstock. Score on the long end at 1-5/8" and 4-1/2" and then use Sticky Strip to glue it together, leaving one end open.

You Are Loved Make & Take #1

Thank you to Jessica for stamping my make and takes at the Louisville Regional Seminar. Since my demonstration was during Make & Take time, I couldn't do them myself. The projects featured the "You Are Loved" stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I'm not much of a Valentine girl, but they showed us so many other ways to use this stamp set, that darn it, I had to buy it! It should arrive tomorrow! I wish I had more willpower!

Holly Berry Bouquet Notebook

My friend Mary McNeely made these beautiful notebooks for her downline who attended the Louisville Regional seminar and she made an extra for me! Thanks again Mary!!

A loop of Wild Wasabi striped ribbon under the Early Espresso cardstock binding is the perfect place to keep a pen. And Mary rolled up a small piece of coordinating Designer Paper to go inside the pen!

The bookmark is the true beauty of this project. Mary followed an example from the Stampin' Success demonstrator magazine and created a center piece with fabric, buttons, ribbon, and jewels. The back of the bookmark shows how it really works. A stretchy hair band connected with the loop of 1/8" taffeta ribbon gives it just enough stretch to reach around the cover of the notebook. Genius!

Supplies: Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Fabric, Wild Wasabi cardtock, Early Espresso cardstock, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Wild Wasabi Striped Ribbon, Buttons, Pearl Jewel Accents, Antique Brads, Little Leaves Sizzlit (Big Shot), Sticky Strip, Stampin' Dimensionals

Top Note Layout, Take 2

I just love this card layout. You may remember it from this card that I CASEd from my friend Laura Yates. The card is clean and simple, yet utilizes a nice combination of accessories and technique (Big Shot Top Note die, Spice Cake Designer Paper, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Reinkers & Baby Wipe Technique).

If you haven't tried the Baby Wipe technique before, it's easy! Just fold a baby wipe into quarters. Add drops of reinkers in multiple colors and then use the baby wipe as an ink pad and stamp your image. I did this with the bold leaf and then stamped the outline in Soft Suede over it.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Gently Falling, Delightful Dozen, Cajun Craze reinker & cardstock, Soft Suede ink & cardstock, More Mustard reinker & cardstock, Pear Pizzazz reinker, Very Vanilla cardstock, Spice Cake Designer Series Paper, Top Note die (Big Shot), 2-1/2" Circle Punch

Gently Falling Collage Faux Tile Card

Edited 11-9-11 to add: To do the Faux Tile technique, start by scoring a grid on your cardstock. The Simply Scored Tool works great for this! Then, sponge ink over the cardstock to make the "grout" lines really pop. I used Crumb Cake ink. The last step is stamping your images.

Are you getting tired of this technique? Here's one more sample from my Faux Tile Workshop Wow display board from the Louisville Regional Seminar. I love this collage with the Gently Falling stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. (See it in my Online Store here.)

For the pleated crochet ribbon, I put a piece of Sticky Strip across the cardstock and then put the ribbon over it, pleating it as I went and pushing down to get it to stick good to the card. Easy Peasy!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Gently Falling, Upsy Daisy (greeting), Texture Jumbo Wheel, More Mustard ink & cardstock, Always Artichoke ink & cardstock, Cajun Craze ink & cardstock, Crumb Cake ink, Soft Suede ink & cardtock, Very Vanilla cardstock, Simply Scored Tool, Crochet Ribbon, Sticky Strip, Antique Brads, Stamping Sponges

Faux Tile Merry Christmas Card

Can you believe that I forgot to take a picture of my Workshop Wow display board at the Louisville regional seminar!? D'oh! If anyone who went has one of the whole board, please send it my way!

Here's another card I made up for the display. I did a diagonal tile for this background piece of Cherry Cobbler. Watch for a tip on that tomorrow with my favorite display card!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Pines & Poinsettias, Contempo Christmas (greeting), Crumb Cake cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Cherry Cobbler ink/marker & cardstock, Garden Green marker & cardstock, Early Espresso marker, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle, 1/16" Hole Punch, Simply Scored Tool, Stampin' Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals

Pennant Punch Candy Corn

How cute is this!? I saw several people make candy corn using the Petite Pennant Punch and I just couldn't resist making my own. Here's my take on it with some real candy corn in the new 1" x 8" Cello Bags.

Gently Falling Sunflower Card

I CASEd a CASE! Here's another card from my card class in Springfield. I CASEd a swap card I received from Sue Scheets. And Sue said she CASEd it from Connie Babbert. It's too cute not to copy, don't you agree?

I used the Fun Flowers die and cut two medium flowers with More Mustard cardstock, then attached them to each other using Stampin' Dimensionals between them. The center is done with the Lattice Square Flower and then punched with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Gently Falling stamp set, Sincere Salutations stamp set, Pear Pizzazz ink, Soft Suede ink & cardstock, More Mustard cardstock, Pool Party cardstock, Spice Cake DSP, Fun Flowers die (Big Shot), Square Lattice Embossing Folder, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimesionals

Pines & Poinsettias Thank You Card

I finally got a chance to photograph some more projects to share! Here's one from my Holiday Mini card class in Springfield a few weeks ago. I wanted to use all Holiday Mini products, but I also wanted to keep the cards as occasion-neutral as I could so they could add their own greeting. Here's my take on Pines & Poinsettias. I tried not to make it too Christmas-y. Did I succeed?

Ornate Blossom Spice Cake Card

I had the base of the this card ready for another design, but then I decided not to use the designer paper strip on the other card, so I turned the card base into this instead. It's not my favorite, but who throws away perfectly good card bases, right!? (wink!)

Summer Solstice Birthday Card

It's technically Autumn, but with temps in the 80's today, it sure felt like summer! Here's a card I created over the weekend using the Summer Solstice stamp set. One of the things I enjoy about going to the retreat is the opportunity to borrow and play with stamp sets that I don't own. This was one of them!

I was inspired by the FTL157 layout from Clean & Simple Stamping.
