Sweeter than the Honey in a honeycomb

"Sweeter than the honey in a honeycomb"

from an African poem...I couldn't copy the rest because it got a little ....erotic...at least it seemed like it... but I wanted to find something that had to do with Honeycombs!

This is the honeycomb die by Stampin' Up! and I used it to punch the smaller hexagons which is a 6 sided shape!

to offset the geometry, I added the bitty banner "thank you"...and the Petite petals!

easy peasy!

Congrats to the GRAD!

Looking through the NEW catalog, I saw this sweet card, and of course I had to CASE it! I changed and tweaked it a bit but the idea is still the same....The colors are purple and gold and although we don't have a true purple ink, I think the Wisteria is close....it looks great with Elegant Eggplant cardstock which is a nice purple color!

Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape

Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding..sounds yummy! I decided to play with some of the new colors, and make a Thank you card for my friend Valerie...she gave me Christmas gifts..it's been a long time since we've seen each other....and Stamped!

Sorry this one is blurry but you can see the washi paper attached to a strip of white cardstock and then layered over the Strawberry Slush strip. The label was stamped in pistachio and strawberry and then punched with the label punch and the modern label and then layered together...bling'd

and Voila!

Mosaic Madness

This was my sneek peek card I demo'd at the Bright Blossom class...I love it. I wasn't sure about this one because it wasn't my 'style' but I don't know if I really have a style! I cased this card from Ilina Crouse. I tweaked it a bit to use the banner stamp set.

The colors used was Blushing Bride, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar. The mosaic is punched out using the mosaic punch and it fits perfectly in the embossed cardstock. The flower is punched with the teeny punch and then they are all embellished with a jewel BLING!

The banner is stamped in pistachio and then hand cut out and attached to the string.....so it 'moves'. but it just looks so cute! (the Banner is a hostess only set!)

Mosaic Madness......

Just a preview of the card we're making today....NEW Products, punches, stamps, inks and embossing folder! I can't wait to share it with you!!!! It is so much fun! I was inspired to make this card by Ilina Crouse, so this in my adaptation of her card...tweaked it a bit.....but it is so nice to NOT have to fussy cut the little flowers...only the banner was cut by hand. (but it is all straight lines so no worries, right?)

Christmas OWL Card

Well I am using a non SU card that I got at Tuesday morning...it was a package of 8 cards and envelopes, and the size is 7x5...so I used a NON SU border punch (I love it!) and punched along the edge. I then layered textured green cardstock (pear pizzazz?- it was in my stash of cut cardstock) and then layered the H from the Sizzix / Stampin' Up! Typeset Alphabet Bigz #127553 $ 69.95. I then layered the punched scallop circles and the 1 3/8 circle and 1 1/4 circle and then....using the Epiphany punch, and the crystal, I placed the owl design in the circle, and layed the disk over the image and punched!

I love this!! I got to play with it at CHA but "M" store finally got them in, so I got it! I love the cute things you can make with it. I miss our Build a brad kit. I wish SU would get it back but...I guess good things come to ends, right?

You can see the disks close up. they are just larger than the ones SU carried

Altered aRt Canvas

So, I've been challenged to create art forms on canvas, and not wanting to use my "good" SU paper, I used some of my non-su papers to create aRt on canvas. I really love that I used some of my punches from Stampin' Up! to create this canvas. I took an online class from Stephanie Ackerman, and I love her style of altered art! I still have a way to go, but this is only my first one. I am going to be doing more of these....

I used
Pennant punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, scallop punch and 3/4" circle punch, as well as the retired letters from the sizzlet strip (last years) alphabet.

Versatile Basket

At the Spaghetti factory, Iris Tamashiro demonstrated how to make these baskets quickly and easily! I was fascinated at how quickly she cut the papers after the score lines were place..and then assembled the basket! Each Basket was decorated so quickly and uniquely!

Don't you think they were fun baskets? We'll be making these at one of my next events! Be sure to RSVP your place!!! (click here!)

Lace border Punch!

I haven't used this punch much but after perusing on Pinterest, I found a card that inspired me! I love how it used the lace border punch on the sides of the card! It was different than this one, and of course we all have to find inspiration from someplace...but I am really digging on this!

What do you think?

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I have been busy with working and cleaning and getting over the retired list! Wow! Lots of stamps are retiring! The words used in this card is retiring! Can you believe that? I actually got this set for FREE, so I don't feel too bad about this but I do like this one. I wonder what new stamps are coming in the NEW Catalog...makes me wish I could see it now! THE LACE BORDER Punch is retiring as well!

Stay tuned!

Hostess: Cheerful Treat

I 'cased' this card from Chiaki and tweaked it a bit to make it my own. I don't like to 'waste' designer paper so I like to cut the papers in 3" or 4" or 6" increments if at all possible...so I found that cutting it at 4x4 was the most effective way to use this paper and still be able to create this card!

Designer Paper for Hostesses ONLY! Cheerful Treat!


Using the punch to create a negative flower!

Adding a bit of ribbon to the button is easy IF you cut the ribbon at a sharp angle to get the ribbon through the holes. Adding dimensionals to the textured cardstock also creates more emphasis on the flower!

I love this card! Very cute and very springy!

Spring is here!

The new papers are so cute! I love the bright and cheery colors!

Using the diagonal score board to create a cross hatch pattern, and then laying the cute little rhinestones on the hearts gives this BLING!

Mixed Bunch

This came from Patty Bennet's blog. I got the idea from her blog (maybe someone submitted to her)...but I loved the colors! Pool Party, and Island Indigo! Very simple card for a Stamp a Stack!

Stamping the flowers in Pool Party and I stamped the flowers onto the cardstock directly, only 1/2 through. Layered the ribbon on top and then stamped the flower on white and punched out!

Very simply done!

Cheering for CHERRIES!

I'm thinking of Joan Jett and CH-CH-CH Cherry Bomb! I love cherries and of course since the new Mini Catalog has a HUGE cherry stamp, I had to use it! It also coordinates with the papers from the Sweet Shop designer papers! I hoard cherries, so I am using my paper 'sparingly'....ok, I know, I can buy more, but I have a hard time parting with some papers sometimes!

So..I stamped this using ink and then decided to use...Cherry scented Embossing power! YES! It's in the mini Catalog! I applied 2 way glue to the cherries, and then heated it up. Of course when you open the little jar to the embossing power, the cherry scent just starts flowing!!! YUM!

When someone opens this envelope, they will smell the scent of Cherries. Doesn't that make you smile? I do!

TODAY at class, I gave away these 4 items to those who attended!!! Congratulations! :)

Pretty In Pink Hearts!

Today is Rebekah's birthday and I'm giving her a card that is punched with hearts of love! She's in double digits now...10 years old! (my friend's daughter!)

I used the trio hearts punch, and pretty in pink cardstock. Punched several times, and then glued on top.

added a lace border and Happy Birthday!

I think she's going to like it, and...the Baskin Robbin's gift certificates that will be included...shhhh.....!

Sweet Eats - Pumpkin treat!

My upline, Sandy Hancock made this cute cute cute pumpkin treat and she showed us how to make them! I love how simple it is and just a sweet treat!

I used the tag punch to create my tag, and so mine is different, but you get the idea...

Tootsie pop suckers can be a fun thing to disguise!
