Build-A-Bear FUN!!!

Ok...seriously....I am LOVING these Build-A-Bear Big Shot Dies that Stampin' Up! now sells. They are SO MUCH FUN and SO STINKING CUTE!!!! :) Just wanted to share a card I made with the dies...
SERIOUSLY....HOW CUTE?!?!? I'm just loving this little girl. I can't wait to make lots and lots of them.

Just wanted to give a little close up. I put a flower brad on the purse for a little fun accent. Then her skirt has pleats in it, and I just put the middle one up on a dimensional so it has some fun dimension. Tell me I'm not the only one that wants to go to sleep with this on my pillow?! :) I think she's just precious. :) Hope you enjoy!

BOO!!!!

Yes...it's Halloween time! :) Ok...maybe not really the month for Halloween, but still time to start getting ready and planning....RIGHT?!? :) I LOVE Halloween. It's such a fun time that makes you feel like a kid again. I am having my Halloween class tonight and I wanted to share a project I made to hold some fun Halloween candy I found. I saw this container at a local store in my town. It was BLACK and had THREE sections! What else could I do but use Stampin' Up's raw vinyl and spell out BOO! :) The minute I saw this, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it and had to have it. Here it is in all its glory...

The side view...

You can't WASTE anything! :) SO...I used the leftover middle part from the "O" to make some fun eyes on the end! How cute is this?! :) Each side has a pair of eyes looking at you. Making sure you don't take too much chocolate, I guess. :) Here is the whole project...

This was SO easy to make! Seriously took maybe 10 minutes. All I did was use my Big Shot and my Serrif Essentials Alphabet to cut out the letters with Stampin' Up!'s Raw White Vinyl. Then just put "BOO" on each side. Then add the eyes. Tie some ribbon on the handles and you are done! :) Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting! :)

Few More Display Items....

Just wanted to share a few more items that I made for the Convention Display Boards. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

This first one I circled the new item. The other item with an arrow was my last post, so you've seen that possibly. :) The item I circled is a 5x7 frame. I should have gotten a better picture of it while I had it in my possession. SORRY! But I used the ornaments from the "Tree Trimmings" set, added some YUMMY Chocolate Taffeta ribbon, and a little "Merry Christmas" in the corner. It was fun!
The next card layout is a layout I copied from a card my up-line, Jill, made. Thanks, Jill! :)

This last card is a pocket card in a not-so-Christmasy color combo. I love how versatile these stamps are! :)

Here's a bit of a close-up. I cut the house out and put it up on a dimensional.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoyed! :)

Holiday Memories...

This was a project I made for the Display Boards at Convention. I thought it would be fun to make one of these each year. Then everyone you spend the holiday with can put their memories from the year on it. A small memento to remember each Christmas by.

Here is the tin cover. This is a tin that used to hold the Accent and Elements kits that Stampin' Up! used to sell.

The ornament is embossed, as well as "Merry Christmas." LOVE how easy embossing is and how much it adds! The ribbon is white taffeta...FYI.

The left side is a pocket to hold that tag. You can write everyone's names that were there, or give this as a gift and that's where you can write their note. Or you can put a picture on it...whatever you want! :)

Here it is when it is all folded out. I just alternated the pictures. It's Ruby Red, than Old Olive, than Ruby Red, etc. :)

Then here is a bird's eye view. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for visiting!!!

Quick Shaker Fun...

I am LOVING the Sweet Treat Cups that are in the Mini catalog. They are GREAT to make some fun treats and even SHAKER cards. It was SO EASY putting this card together. This is a 3x3 card and seriously..so fast! All I did was stamp the main image in Basic Black Craft Ink on to Whisper White card stock. Then I embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. Cut out. Then clean stamp and stamp again in Pumpkin Pie Craft on separate piece of Whisper White Card Stock. Emboss this as well and cut out. Punch out the center with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Pour some chunky glitter into your Sweet Treats Cup (here I used silver) and attach that over the "eek" Pumpkin Pie image. Then adhere the black image over the Sweet Treat Cup and attach this whole piece to Pumpkin Pie card. Tie some Old Olive ribbon around it and there you go! :) Here is a bit of a close-up...

Stamps: Sweet Centers

Ink: Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie Craft

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White

Accessories: 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Chunky Essentials Glitter, Sweet Treat Cups

Coordinating Card...

I posted an Accordion Scrapbook HERE just the other day. I made a coordinating card for it so wanted to show you that as well. On to the card...

I think I have used this layout 100 different times. I LOVE it. I know the "Friendship" phrase is not straight. Didn't want to pull out my Stamp-a-ma-jig and I kinda like the scawampusness of it. :)

***Tip...when I stamped the solid butterfly image...I inked it up real well and stamped it first on to scratch paper and then again on the actual card stock (withOUT re-inking). Then I inked up the polka dot butterfly stamp and stamped it over the body image full strength. The reason for that is then you get a lighter color for the body so the polka dot shows up well...yet it's the same color still!!! This is a technique called "stamping off" so you know. :) ***

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Celebrate Everything
Ink: Rose Red, Chocolate Chip
Card Stock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Designer Series Paper, Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Butterfly Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, Rose Red 1" Double Stitched Ribbon

Thanks for visiting!

Club Day for September...

Wednesday was club day so just wanted to share the projects we did with you. First we made a card. I had done this basic card before for a card class, so you may have seen it already. But I really liked it so I did it for club. :)

This next project is a box I made with the Scallop Box Die and the Big Shot. This Die is made so normally the Scallop flap folds down and the box closes that way. I just left that part open though, and you could put a treat in a cello bag in there or something. I thought it was a fun way to change the box and make it even more versatile. It would even be a cute way to make place cards. You could put a bag of dinner mints in the box, and have their name written on the top...where the butterfly is. Hmmmmm.....maybe I need to throw a dinner party so I can do this. :)

Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Scrapbook...

Just wanted to share a quick 6x6 Accordion Scrapbook with you. This was a lot of fun to make...I am really liking this color combo. Hope you enjoy! FYI...the colors are Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Old Olive, and Whisper White.

Here is the cover. LOVE this new alphabet from Stampin' Up! Seriously...my fave!!!Just a bit of a close up. I cut the Old Olive piece in to grass for the flowers.

Here is a top view of the pages.

One side.

And the other!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

Swap Cards...

Here are a couple swaps cards that I received at convention that I have been meaning to share. This first one is similar to the one I posted just the other day.

Here's a bit of a close-up...has the same window sheet over the butterfly. These butterflies were done with the new Butterfly punch, instead of the Butterfly Die. I love the flower in the center as well. Clever. (I will update this when I can find the name of the person that made this!)

Then I LOVE this cupcake one. TOO CUTE! This one was done by Brooke S. She is a fabulous person that makes fabulous cards! :)

Here is a close-up of this wonderful cupcake...

Look at all those fabulous details! Stitching, sponging, texturizing, scoring, crystal effecting, etc, etc. Love it.

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy!
