February Club Project...

Time to share the project we made at club this month!  It is a fun one!  I have seen lots of ideas online about using the FREE (with a $50 order) card kit in the Sale-A-Bration catalog for more than just making the cute cards.  I really liked this chocolate holder that I saw in my search!  So this is what we made for club...

How fun is this?!  It holds a regular sized Hershey's Chocolate Bar.  I am sure you could also fit a pack of Skittles or something like that in there if you know someone who is allergic to or doesn't like chocolate.  (Thank heavens I don't fall into either of those categories!  :-) )  Here are a few more photos...

So try this kit out...think outside the box...and see what you can come up with!!!  There were VERY few supplies I used that weren't already included in the kit.  I think just the ribbon on top to hold it together and the strips of Whisper White cardstock to make the sides of the box.

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you enjoy!

February Club Card...

Hey there!!!  So I have a few fun decor projects I made for Valentine's Day that I was going to show today.  However...I can't find the camera that I took those pictures with!  Ugh!  Hate when I can't find things!  So will have to show those even later after the holiday!  :)

HOWEVER...I do have a fun card to show you today!  It's based on a layout from the Spring Catalog.  (See if you can find it...it has hearts on it instead of butterflies.)  On to the card...

I hope you like it!  It's a quick and fun card to make.  I think the card has a big impact with the pops of the butterflies punched out from the fabulous Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper.  Too much fun!!!

Here are a few more pics...

Love that "Thanks" sentiment from the "Vintage Verses" Sale-A-Bration stamp set!  So much fun!  And the background is embossed with the Sale-A-Bration embossing folder.  Then sanded down to get the lighter color to show on the Core'dinations Pool Party Cardstock.  So much fun to use!

Hope you enjoy!  Thanks so much for visiting!!!!

January Club Card...

I am a bit late in posting the card we made in LAST MONTH'S club!!!  (Especially considering that tomorrow is my February club night!)  But better late than never, right?!  :-)  This card was a fun card to make.  But before I chat about it...how about you see it?!  Here is the card...

What a fun combination of a whole lot of products...right?!  My inspiration for this card came from one done by a very talented demo, Kimberly Van Diepen.  It was fun to add a bunch of fun new products (can you even count how many new products are used?!)  Talk about seeing the Occasions Mini put to good use!!!  I used new Designer Series Paper, Accessories (Doilies, ribbon, brads), Stamp Sets, Framelits, Embossing Folder, Core'dinations cardstock, etc!  I even used a couple Sale-A-Bration products!  (Get one FREE with every $50.00 in merchandise ordered!!!!)  I used the small Curly Label punch, Vintage Verses Stamp Set, and Pool Party ribbon.  Too much fun!!!

Here are a few close-up's...

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks for stopping by my blog!!! 

Spring Garden Decor

Hello, again!!!!  I have some major updating to do to my blog!  Sorry I have been gone so long!  It's not that I haven't been busy!  I've just been too busy these days!  But I am back!  And have lots to share!  Let's get started!

Have you heard of UStamp?!  It's an online membership that you join and get access to LOTS of fun project ideas.  And the best part...there are FULL TUTORIALS for ALL the projects shown!  It's a wonderful site!  Maybe I love it so much because I am one of the designers for this group.  :)  SOOOOO...I am going to share with you the project I designed for this round that is currently going on.

Here is my project and coordinating card...

Does it get you in the mood for some WARM Spring weather?!  And fun blooming flowers?!  It sure does for me!  (I live in Utah, and we have had snow DUMPED on us all winter it seems!  I don't know if it will ever melt!!!!)  To get more details and the FULL tutorial for this and MANY MANY other projects...come join us on UStamp!

Utensil Holder...Stampin' Up! style...

I know Thanksgiving is over.  And these were for my Thanksgiving table.  HOWEVER...I also know we all have holiday parties coming up and these could be EASILY adapted for Christmas or any event you are having!!!!  So I thought I should still share!  :)  Here is a fun utensil holder for your party table...

Cute?!  Right?!  :)  Here are more pictures...

And yes...you may have noticed I did emboss the napkin.  I have done this quite a bit for events and it just adds such a fun touch.  Gotta love the Big Shot and embossing folders!  :)  Here is a pic of the bottom details close up...

Great way to make your guests feel welcome at your party.  Here is a pic of just the holder...

These folders are really easy and quick to make.  I just cut a piece of cardstock that would fit my napkin. Added a few extra inches in length to give me a pocket to fold up.  So just fold up the extra inches making your pocket and then decorate. 

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you enjoy!!! 

November Club Project...

About time I share the club project we made in November, huh?!  :)

Anyone need a fun Christmas gift wrapping idea?!  Well...just take a white gift sack and add some Stampin' Up! bling...and you have a fun bag!  I used the Designer Series Paper from the Festival of Prints paper pack.  I didn't even cut the paper at all...it was the perfect size for the front of the bag.  Added some cardstock, punches, stamped tree, tulle ribbon, sweater trim ribbon, etc, and there you have a fancy bag!

Here is a picture of the details...

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you enjoyed this project! 

November Club Card...

I haven't shared the club projects we did this month at club yet!  Sorry!  Here is our card that we did...

Isn't this a fabulous card?!  I LOVE it!  I received a similar one in a Christmas card swap I participated in.  I love the Designer Series Paper that the tree is from.  This paper is from the "Festival of Prints" paper pack that is in the Holiday Mini catalog.

Here are a few close-up's...

Hope you enjoy this card!  Thanks for visiting!

Thanks Banner...

Can you believe it's Thanksgiving time already?!  WOWSERS!  Where has this year gone?!  I thought it was about time I shared this fun banner with you.  This project is ALL about the Big Shot!!!!  The Pennants, the letters, the embossed circles, the fruit images, etc....ALL done with Big Shot!!

(And GUESS WHAT?!?!?  On MONDAY ONLY....the BIG SHOT is 20% off!!!!  Can you believe that?!  I am so excited!  If you don't have it...you need it!  Email me at designwithink@gmail.com to order yours.)

This is made with the Pennant die and Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper.  Here is a close-up of each letter...

I used the Cannery set and Coordinating Framelits to stamp the fruit to hang in between each letter.  Then each 1 3/4" Circle on the pennants are embossed to add some texture and fun.

Hope you enjoy!  You have time before the holiday to make some for your own for your own Thanksgiving decor!  Thanks so much for visiting!

October Club Card...

I am trying to get back onto a regular posting schedule!  Sorry!  First up...I will catch you up on last month's club projects.  I showed you the 3D project we did.  Now up is the card.  Here you go...

 Isn't it fun?!  I LOVE this leaf set...Gently Falling.  The leaves are so pretty and it's a 2-step stamping set.  (So stamp the inside fill leaf image and then go back over it in another color with the outline.  It's so easy and quick to get a beautiful image!)  Love the colors as well...and I came up with the combo from the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper.  (LOVE that paper!)  It's Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, and Cajun Craze.  And don't you love that Wooden Button!  Here are a couple of close-up's...

 I hope you enjoy this card!  Be back soon with more stamping projects!!!  Thanks so much for visiting!!!
