Surfing Santa Notebook ...

Here is a non-Christmas idea using the fun Surfing Santa Stamp Set! I need a notebook, so I decided to spruce just a 3 x 5 one that I had around and add a cover.  So easy to do! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Basic White

Inks: Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Memento Black Ink

Cardstock/Papers: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Basic White

Stamps: Surfing Santa

Tools:  Perennial Postage Dies, Blending Brush, Water Painter, retired embossing folder

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack

Pretty fun, huh?!  You just cut the cover to size (so 3"x5" here), plus a little extra length so you can score and adhere it to the back.  (I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the back!  But it was about 1-1/2" longer ... so I cut it to about 3" x 6 1/2".  Here is a photo from the side: 

And then I embossed, stamped a focal point, and just added it to the front!  You can even stamp the inside pages to make it all on theme! 

What do you think?!  Would you make something like this?!

Ink Pads: Flirty Flamingo, StazOn Jet Black

I just love this little Post-It holder.  Amazing what you can do with stamps and paper, right?!  I know I still get amazed at that. 

And this is still one of my all time favorite sayings.  It is from the Stitched All Around Stamp Set.  😍

Greece Cruising Journal...

I still can't believe I am on a Greece cruise, that I earned from Stampin' Up!  My heart wants to explode.  (If you are not already, follow me on Instagram or Facebook (OR BOTH!) at Design With Ink because that is where I will be posting any updates from the cruise!) 

But THIS project was fun to make.  I wanted a little place to keep notes of things I wanted to remember, put pictures, etc, so I used the NEW Pressed Petals Journal and made this fun thing:

Colors: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Seaside Spray

Inks: NONE!

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White Thick, Shimmery White, Vellum, Gold Glimmer, Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper

Stamps: NONE!

Tools: Stitched Labels Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Leaf Punch

Accessories: Pressed Petals Journal, Seaside Spray 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon, Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie

This was the logo Stampin' Up! used for the trip, and I just loved it. This little book just literally makes my heart smile.  💗  Love these little details:

And YES!  These journals come with that fun embossed cover!  Swoon!  😍😍😍

I made a couple extras for some friends.  😁  And it may be even cuter all wrapped up.  I also added a package of Stampin' Up!'s journaling pens...

I definitely fell in love with this journal as I was making these!

PS....this shreddie in the box is still on Stampin' Up!'s clearance rack when I last looked.  I bought quite a bit because it is so much fun to use.  Go grab some while you can!!!

Thank you so much for visiting!  And thanks to my team and customers for your love and support that helped me get on this cruise boat!  I can't wait to share all the details with you because I AM SOOOO GRATEFUL!!!!!  💗💗💗

Please let me know if I can help you with anything!!!!

And THOSE BIRDS!!!  😍😍😍   These were fun to do!  I embossed the bird image with Whisper White Embossing Powder.  Then colored it in with Blends!  How fun is that?! 

I will be making more of these because I love it so much.  And let's talk about the Stitched Nested Label Dies (that are also in this suite!!!).  These. Are. My. Total. Favorite.  LOVE them so much!

TGIF Challenge 165: Summertime!!!

I'm a little late with this week's challenge, but there is still time to play along!!!  Yippee!  And this challenge is probably my FAVORITE!  It's all about SUMMER!  It's an inspirational challenge...so I couldn't love it MORE!  (SUMMER IS MY FAVORITE!!!! 👏)

First up...I will share the project I made.  And then I will share the inspirational picture to get your creative juices flowing!  Want to see what I made?!?!

Colors: Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo

Cardstock/Papers:  Pineapple Punch, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, Basic Black

Stamps: Lemon Zest, Better Together

Tools: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelit, Simply Scored Board, Heat Tool, Triple Banner Punch

Accessories: Gold Thread, Glitter Enamel Dots, Whisper White Embossing Powder

This project (it's a notebook holder!) came from a project my downline did that I LOVED.  So I decided I would pretty much CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it but use the NEW IN COLOR...Pineapple Punch.  LOVE this color!!  And it is SO summer!!!  😍 But this whole project is pretty much her design.  Thanks, Lisa!!!  💓

I will share more of the notebook but let me make sure to show you the challenge's inspirational photo first...

HOW CUTE IS THIS?!?!?  I could probably make hundreds of projects based on this photo.  LOVE. IT!!!!  💗💗💗

Back to my project...just look how cute this lemon is...

I truly love everything about this.  The color combo (Pineapple Punch, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana--with the glitter splash of Melon Mambo) is making my heart swoon!  😍

Here it is all opened up...

That cute belly band keeps it all together for you.  Then you simple slide it off and open up to your notebook.  And it is such a fun project because you can totally customize it for the size of notebook you have.   Just a few score lines and folds, and you have pockets and everything.

Ok...NOW IT IS YOUR TURN!  😀  Head on over to the TGIF CHALLENGE BLOG to play along!!! If you have any questions...please just send them my way!  If you need any help in purchasing some Stampin' Up! supplies...just let me know!!  I'm happy to help!

Thanks for visiting my blog!  Let me know if you have any questions!!!

Delightful Daisy Meets Bundle of Love ...

Have something really fun to share today!  It is the club project we made this month, and I'm in love!  "Bundle of Love"... that is.  :-)  (Check out the Designer Paper I used to see why that's funny.  Hee.) I shared the club card we made this month in THIS POST.  Now you get to see the project...a fun desktop Post-It holder! ...

Colors: Basic Black, Gold, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky

Cardstock/Papers: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky, Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Delightful Daisy, Blossom Builder Punch

Tools: Daisy Punch, Classic Label Punch, Simply Scored Board

Accessories: Gold Mini Sequin Trim, Gold Faceted Gems

How fun is this?!  :-)  Kinda great for this "Back to School" time of year.  And let me just get to my "Bundle of Love" comment above.  That's the name of the Designer Series Paper I used.  I have to admit...didn't even give this paper a second thought when I first saw it.  I'm not pregnant and just didn't feel like I "needed" baby paper.  Haha.  Well...I decided to order it because I saw gold on some papers, and OH! MY! WOW!!!  This paper is INSANE gorgeous!  EVERY paper has one side of a gold print pattern.  TOTAL *SWOON*!!!  Here's a picture of the paper...

And just know...one side is either pink or blue and the other FULL SIDE IS GOLD!  And metallic-y wonderfully beautiful gold.  It's amazing.  Just wanted to share because I was surprised when I got it.  :-)

I think this black/gold/pink color combo is quite beautiful...

And this daisy....well I just love.  It's made with the Delightful Daisy bundle.  I posted a beautiful floral arrangement made with this punch and stamp set in THIS POST.  And just wanted to share how fun these flowers are on other projects. 

(The middle of the flower is punched with one of the flowers from the Blossom Builder punch...FYI.  The Lemon Lime Twist leaves are from the daisy punch!  I just punched out a daisy, cut apart the petals, and glued them together how I wanted them. :-) )

***One of the perks of joining my club is each month I email instruction sheets for both the card and the project we make that month...so you can keep a file and always remember how we made the projects!  Would love to have you join my club!  Let me know if you have any questions!***

And just because I am in love...look at this Post-It Holder without the Post-It's so you can see that fabulous gold...

Thanks so much for visiting! Hope you enjoyed this project!
