Pocket Card

Just thought this was the cutest paper! I love the fruity papers and the colors are...not what I thought was going to be something I would like, but it is 'growin' on me! (pun..get it?) ok, never mind!

I like the shock of the orange in the Calypso Coral. It is a SHOCK of color in the GREEN and Basic Gray. They really bring out the Lucky Limeade!

I decided to use my birdcages because I didn't have the fruit set that coordinates with this paper. BUT, i think this looks cute and whimsical, don't you?

I got the pocket card from someone on the list..and the name escapes from me right now...as soon as I find the name, I will post it... S*T*A*Y tuned! ----IT IS...RICHARD GARAY! He's the designer of this version of a pocket CARD!

I also used our NEW tool - the SIMPLY SCORED! Stayed tuned for that too!!!!

Aloha, Vacation shirt!!!

Aloha!
Hawaiian Vacation anyone?

This is the same shirt but new colors! I used the new Island Indigo and Calypso Coral along with So Saffron (not new). I love how tropical it still looks and yet it needed a Lei! So I create one using the Boho Blossom Punch

Super easy and fun! ....Now if I was only flying to Hawai'i!

Tomorrow is the last day of the 2010-2011 Catalog...don't miss out on any retiring stamp sets! Contact me now! Order today!

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.....

Do you hear Jimmy Buffet singing "Margaritaville"? I think ever since seeing this card from my friend Joyce, and then going to Tami White's blog and seeing how she made her shirt card, I decided that I needed to try it! First I did the Origami shirt fold, and sponged it.... It is a very simple card, and easy to do!

Tami's verson is easier and only 2 folds for the collar! Very easy to do and you really have to check it out!

You can do a Father's Day card or simply a party invitation to a luau???

What a great way to kick off the summer festivities!

Margarita anyone???

Petal Pizzazz! Spring is Blossoming

I can't remember who's site I got this card from, but I did print it out..and that's where I got my inspiration from! I used Marine Mist cardstock, and scored it at 2 1/8" on both ends. Then added Designer paper from the Paisley Petals (which will be available April 1st!). Using the Petal Pizzazz stamp set, I cut out the flowers stamped in Peach Parfait, and Marine Mist...added a phrase from Sincere Salutations, and Voila!

I scream you scream!

So, this weekend, I was creating...and I was happily playing and stamping this weekend, and taking off wall paper, and doing house work and stamping, and watching dvd's .......It felt great to have a weekend that I didn't have to go anywhere...well, let's just say, I also had help with not going anywhere! I had my car in the shop, so I was home bound anyways!

I decided a few months ago, to start removing wall paper. But it is hard work and it does get tiring to scrape and wipe and scrape and toss out icky sticky wall paper...so.....

I decided to take my time with this and slowly remove the wall paper. (it is going slowly).

I found this blog from another demo. Laura Denison (followthepapertrail.blogspot.com) has a wonderful plethera of scrapbook, altered art and cards on her blog! I decided to take one of her Youtube demo's and make one of her cards myself! This is all done with a #10 (business envelope). I used Prisma color pencils and papers by Stampin' Up! The colors were inspired by the SAB Ice Cream Parlor Papers! Are they not the cutest and brightest?? Lots of areas to add photos or sentiments for a special birthday! :)
Have fun today! I sure did!

Another Never Ending Card!

I'm having so much fun with this NEVER ENDING CARD! It is like having so many surfaces to decorate!

It all has a cheerful look, and who wouldn't want to feel cheered up after receiving a card like this!

It has some substance, and probably will cost more to send via snail mail but it would be worth the effort...now, if you could only catch the recipient's reaction once they open the card!

STAY TUNED for more Never-ending cards!

Never Ending - My friend

This next month is Valentine's day, and if you have someone special to stamp for (a significant other) that's great!!! BUT...if you're like me and there is no significant other....who or what do you do?

I'm sure you have a special friend who has been the most bestest BFF that you have, and why not send that person a card telling them how much your friendship means to you?

I will be sending out a few of these cards....to friends who have been my BFF's.



This card was featured in the February Stampin' Success newsletter that we, as demonstrators receive each month!

It hasn't been released via mailings yet but it is viewable online! I decided that I would rev up my card-making and make one using some (retired) and not retired products that I have in my stash! I love that this sample (which I copied almost exactly like the one in the newsletter)....uses a lot of punches, and maybe 1 stamp set....but if you really want to jazz it up, it uses 3....

Have fun making a NEVER ENDING CARD! If you want more details contact me, your Stampin' UP! Demonstrator, or....contact a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! HUGS!

Perfect Hydrangeas!

I have a few favorite flowers, the Iris being my number 1 favorite and the Hydrangea being my number 2 favorite! I love roses as well (Sterling Silver which is a light lavendar color!)

I stamped the hydragea in basic black on whisper white cardstock. I then Q-tipped chalk (retired colors, but I haven't upgraded to the new colors yet). I then mounted it on Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze along with the Designer papers from Elegant Soiree. It is a trifold card, tied with a grosgrain ribbon to close!

TODAY IS 1-11-11

make it a special day!

My Mini Squash Tri fold book is something new I came across. I was at Pine Cone Press (a cool store in Santa Ana) that has a squash book that was just so different! I decided to put my mind into gear and create it using only Stampin' Up! papers and cardstock! I will show you more...

Happy Bird Day in a double pocket!

What a cool card for a birthday! I saw this on Stampin' Connect and I loved how simple it is! I decided to use it on paper that I don't use much, and I am ashamed to say that this is not my favorite paper....(I know, that as demonstrators, we're supposed to LOVE everything, right!?? HA!) This is a double pocket which came from this blog



I used Old Olive, Brilliant Blue, and Real Red with Tall Tales Designer Papers #115678 $9.95



The Jumbo Brad at the top, is accented with the Wide Striped Olive ribbon which is tied with a piece of jute string.

I love this little bird. It reminds me of the little birds that sit on elephants in all the Animal Planet shows. And Happy "BIRD" day is one of my favorite ways to say, Happy Birthday!

It comes from the hostess set "Picture This" level 1, #118538 from the Occasions Mini Catalog. This mini catalog is retiring at the end of this week, April 30th.

I also lined the envelope with the same paper, to accent the card...how cool to get a coordinated envelope!

Snowman pocket

On another roll......TA DUM!!!!......!!!

I thought the other one was cute, so I made this one, using the A2 Size envelope. (4 3/8" x 5 3/4")

Seal Your envelope....then, turn your envelope to the side, and cut off leaving a 4" pocket x 4 3/8"

this will make your snowman. Turn the edges up 1 1/4" just like the other smaller one (which is 1") and that forms the face.

I punched out 4) 3/4" circles and used the white gel pen for the eyes only. I drew the mouth connecting up the cheek dots.







The hat band is 1 1/2" x 11, and the hat top is 2 1/2" x 4" from Basic Black.
The elastic is added to the back and I made a little folder for a gift card to go inside...

I think my nephew won't care about the snowman but he'll like the gift card inside....at least I hope he will!!! oops, I forgot to add the Candy Cane..well, I still have time, right?

I know I don't know the difference between PS2 and PS3 PSP or Wii ....aaaahhh! too much technology!!!!

Aloha Christmas

I found this book at a Hawaiian show, but I was really looking for it...not that it was hard to find because you can find anything on the internet....but, i don't like paying tax, shipping etc when you can get it for (no tax/or shipping), right?



This has some really cute folds and although it is designed for MONEY, you can use any type of foldable paper. It has dimensions for cutting your papers in larger sizes that are in proportion to the size of a dollar....

What I like about this shirt verses other shirts I have seen, is that it opens in the front! You can really make it look like a 'real' hawaiian shirt!

I used the stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370

What a great set! It has tiny stamps for ALL SEASONS!

The flowers were punched from Real Red, and the Black cardstock was embossed with {Finial Press} Embossing Folder. I glued beads (that's my favorite center for the flowers) and then glued them onto the shirt after folding the shirt. The hanger was from Michaels (from their bulk little bags that have teeny hangers. I bought them awhile back, and I think they're perfect for this shirt. I had to bend the wires because there isn't REAL sleeves for this shirt, but it gives the idea that the shirt is real....

Mele Kalikimaka! (which is Hawaiian for Merry Christmas...are you singing the song? I guess you might be singing it soon...it is one of those songs that will go through your head over and over and over......)

Petal Pizzaz & The 2009-2010 IN-Colors!

At first...I thought these colors were too bright or vibrant. And it wasn't just the colors but the combination...or maybe it was because I really loved the 2008-2009 In-Colors...

But, these are growing on me. I think that the Melon Mambo is really pretty and the Crushed Curry is really a super lovely yellow!
To create this card, You take 2 pieces of cardstock that is 7" x 4 1/4"
Score in 1" and 1 1/2" on both sides of the cardstocks (both pieces) This will accordion fold in.

I then, took a piece of acetate and cut it 4 1/4" x 3". This will make the layer of flowers more dimensional inside the card!
I stamped several flowers in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry,Bermuda Bay (not available yet), and cut them out carefully. I layered them together, and added the Razzleberry Lemonade paper over the Rich Razzleberry Cardstock

You can see the flower on the Acetate.

Put together, this shows some of the layers. The acetate is sandwiched between the cardstock.


Using the new Punch, I punched out the KIND THANKS and added it to the front of the card.....

Wouldn't this brighten your day??

It is only another day til the NEW Catalog starts!!!! Are you ready???
