Sweet Stems

This is one of the cards that we made at my New Catalog Open House.  I saw it in Stampin’ Success, Stampin’ Up!’s newsletter.  It is 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.  I love the new emosslits dies that emboss and cut out the images.  They are so fun!  I also used the new eyelet border…

More Awards

I’ve received a few more awards this past week.   I received the Proximity Award from Tracy. Blogs who receive the Proximidade Award invest and believe in PROXIMITY – nearness in space, time and relationships.  They are exceedingly charming.  These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.  They are not interested in prizes or…

Ribbon Threading

This is one of the projects by Jessica we did at our meeting last week that I promised to show you.  It is super cute and easy to create the ribbon flower.  You start by punching a hole in the middle and at the end of each petal.  You thread the ribbon through the center…

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!  It’s the year of the Ox.  To celebrate I made some paper lanterns.  They are super easy to make and fun to decorate with!  I used real red textured cardstock for the first one.  I stamped some images from the Eastern Influence stamp set in basic gray randomly on the paper. For this…

Top Note Card

I’ve been wanting to try a Top Note Card.  It was super easy!  I cut a piece of cardstock to 4″ x 10 and folded it in half and placed it partway on the die so the top of the die was showing.  I added some Raspberry Tart DSP and some flowers from Petal Pizzaz…

A Sketch Challenge

Two posts in one day, it’s incredible!  I decided to try another sketch challenge on SplitCoast and here is what I came up with.  I used Sweet Always DSP as my color inspiration.  So I had to use the coordinating Always set.   Mmm, I have this funny craving for chocolate now.  I wonder where…

Box in a Bag

I’ve seen quite a few of these boxes in a bag and finally got the chance to try one.  It was quick and fun to put together.  The directions can be found here.  I used some Riding Hood Red DSP and some pink pirouette for the base.  I stamped the pink pirouette in riding hood…

A Color Challenge

I was looking for a bit of inspiration and decided to try out this color challenge on SplitCoast.  I think it is a really pretty color combination: kiwi kiss, regal rose, and bravo burgundy.  I used the new Petal Pizzaz stamp set and Raspberry Tart DSP. You can now order from the NEW Spring/Summer Catalog…
