Celebrate Basic Gray!

I’m lovin’ the new Basic Gray color.  Ok, it’s not that new, but I had been putting off getting it for a while until I saw someone use it instead of Basic Black and I really liked what I saw!  The layout of this card was inspired by Mary.  I really liked the clean crisp monochromatic look…

Friends Tags & Matchbox

I’m having so much fun with all the goodies from the Occasions Mini Catalog!  I love the tag on page 17, so I created some of my own.  I used the new Basic Small Grommets by punching holes with my 1/4″ circle handheld punch and then inserting the grommet and pressing the tines down on…

Tope Note Box

The top note die is still my favorite!  Look at this cute little box you can make using the top note die!  I started by cutting two top note pieces out of chipboard and then four out of the Candy Lane DSP.  I used the tombow multi-purpose glue to adhere the dsp onto both sides…

Urban Butterfly

I’m so enchanted with these beautiful butterflies from Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive new Sizzix die!  I paired them with the just as beautiful Urban Garden DSP.  I got the inspiration and layout from this beautiful card by Mary.  I love the idea of adding texture to the butterfly by running it throught he Big Shot with the…

Another Box

I just can’t get enough of these boxes!  I made another one with the Parisian Breeze Textured Cardstock weight DSP.  Did you notice that on page 158 of the catalog all the DSP is textured cardstock?  And the Rockability DSP has printed glossy designs on each sheet! For this box I used the Wide Oval…

Top Note Purse Box

Here is the project that we made last night at my first stamp club meeting.  A Top Note Purse!  The idea for this purse came from Kimberly and the directions are here on her blog.  I added a little ribbon strap to the top to make it into a purse. We used the Always stamp…
