Simple Friendship Scallop Flower

The NEW Textured Embossing folders are so nice! They make such a clear impression. I used the plate for the scallop circle (which I cut each of the scallops so that it looks like petals). The pale plum cardstock is layered with the Daisy 2 die and then the friend was punched out on whisper white cardstock after it was stamped in Rich Razzleberry. The flowers were blended using a blender pen, after stamping.

The other Pale Plum cardstock was embossed using the NEW embossing folder. I layered the Polka dot ribbon on top and then layered it over the Rich Razzleberry cardstock which was stamped with the flower from the Simple Friendship set.

Fancy Favor Bag

What a cool die this Fancy Favor is! I love how you can create bags of different styles to make this YOUR signature!

I cut this out of Apricot Appeal and then layered with Tempting Turquoise and Designer Paper from the Flamingo and Really Red, and Old Olive. The cello bag inside is filled with die cut flowers to embellish a scrapbook page or card for the recipient!

Gift Boxes with a Twist!

These are too cool! Stampin' Up has a video that they share how to make these cool boxes (you might find it on YouTube.com eventually). I love them and I used to buy boxes just like this from Bath and Body works, but now, I can actually make them myself!

The tutorial is very simple! I don't want to share how to do it yet, since it is more of a perk to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and see it on the website as a new demonstrator...

If you're interested in signing up to be a demonstrator, ask me about it, and I will give you details! There is a GREAT special coming up soon, so stayed tuned, or email me!

New & Old Buttons with New & Old sets

Hi! Did you like that title? Well after making a card using an old retired set, I decided that I better get out a NEW set and use buttons....so, I did! This has the new Circle Circus set that wasn't on my list to buy but after seeing a few ideas, I thought I would try this one out....I stamped on Tempting turquoise and punched out and glued it on the bottom of the buttons. If you haven't tried this, you need to!

The Fancy bulk buttons that we can purchase (demonstrators only) include these beautiful colors! The turquoise flower button and the celery green buttons!

I haven't done much with the Flamingo paper, so I pulled it out of the nice new plastic folder and decided to play with it! I think I shy away because of the BRIGHT combination of colors that this one has.

The colors are Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Summer sun...(bright, eh?)

I scalloped the edge of the designer paper and then folded over the edge so that backside of the paper shows through.

The buttons were tied with Linen thread and then mounted to the embossed cardstock (embossed with the NEW FOLDER - Finial Press #115963 $7.95)

I think of summer and tropical colors, so I pulled out Just Beachy, and stamped this one..I think this set might be retired....but...the alphabet is new...the JUST ALPHABET. It is an interesting one to mount since the letters don't mount up in order....but I love the style and (it is reasonably priced too at 19.95)

Cottage Wall Designer Paper

One of the Papers that I found in the catalog was Cottage wall. I think I was instantly drawn to it because of the purple green combination. Of course it isn't purple, but the Rich Razzleberry brings out the purple and it is complimented by the Orchid Opulence. I use a sampler sheet to showcase my designer papers, and also combine it with the cardstocks it matches. This helps me with designing and I don't have to refer back and forth to the catalog to use my glasses (bifocals) to read the fine print!

I made this pillow box from the Sizzix die, in acetate, and I punched several Oval Scallop tags and using the Oval stamp set, I made several "tags" and butterflies, and ribbons. These will embellish the cards that will be included in the box. This would make a cool little hostess gift, or friendship gift!

Added to the cards, they make a nice little gift card enclosure!

The Fancy Favor box is perfect to hold the 3x6" cards (folded) and the 3x3 cards.
