Sale-a-bration Samples

I really love all the great samples in the Sale-a-bration catalog, so I recreated some of them and used the layouts for others.  I love the Polka Dot Punches set.  It’s so cute and easy to make great cards with its stamps and coordinating punches!  I love not having to cut out flowers and hearts!Of…

Elegant Thank You

Here is another card that made using the Sizzix Texturz Plates.  It’s so fun to run them through the Big Shot and then feel the cool textures!  I also love this new stamp, Elegant Thank You.  It’s one of the “Items under $10” in the very back of the catalog.  It’s a collection of stamps…

True Friend Card

As soon as I saw the butterfly in Simple Friendship in the new catalog,  I knew I had to get it!  I love the butterfly!  I also had to get all the new Sizzix texture plates.  It’s hard to tell from this picture, but I used the swirl texture on the baja breeze.  It adds…

Urban Garden Cards

I love the way these cards turned out.  I used the Urban Garden DSP and Fifth Avenue Floral for the card on the right.  I embossed “thanks” in vanilla on the basic gray and added some vanilla hodgepodge hardware to make it stand out. As I was playing with the card I reversed the paper…

More Yummy Ideas

The Yummy sale-a-bration set is my favorite!  I love how one of the stamps perfectly coordinates with the top note die.  I loved all the samples in the sale-a-bration catalog, so I recreated a lot of them.   The first one I tried was this cute top note gift card holder.  I just cut out…

Yummy Treat Box

I love these little boxes you can make from the new Sizzix die!!  They fit the little hershey’s nuggets perfectly!  I used the Yummy sale-a-bration stamp and the Candy Lane DSP to embellish this cute little box.  I wrapped the nuggets with the Candy Lane DSP and tied some riding hood red taffeta ribbon around them.  It…

My Stamping Area

I somewhat organized my stamping area and so I thought I would take some pictures before it got disorganized again.  Above is my stamping desk and shelves, all from IKEA.  I used IKEA’s wood dvd holders to hold my ink pads,  IKEA’s pot holder racks for my punches, and IKEA baskets for other stamping items….

Valentine’s Day Treat Cylinder

I saw this great Valentine’s Day Treat Cylinder on Dianne’s website here and decided to try them out. The following pictures and directions are hers from her blog: Start with two bottoms from the Sizzix Baskets & Blooms die.  Then, cut a piece of Acetate (also called a transparency or a window sheet), to 6 1/4″ wide…
