2011-03-26T15:17:00.002-04:00

Hello to all you bloggers. Its been since before Christmas that I have been on here to talk to you and to post any pictures. So with that said I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a great New Years. Then there was Valentines Day. Hope you heard from the ones you love. Now we are approaching Easter in a month. Wow, how time flies. I'm so excited that I finally got a new computer and still learning how to use it. So my son came up for the day and informed me on how to add pics. So this is my first addition. Hope you like it. It is made with Melon Mambo CS with white specialty dsp sponged with melon mambo. I used melon dotted ribbon and and daisies #2 die for the big shot cut out of melon mambo and pretty in pink cs. The button in the middle is tied with matching ribbon. Thanks for looking and please stay tuned for more to come.

The Holidays are here!

2010-12-18T04:34:00.005-05:00

Well, the holidays are here. Where did this year go? I am trying to get my last minute Christmas shopping done before next week. I dislike waiting til the last week of Christmas to get things done. Then I feel I'm so rushed. Anyway, I still don't have a computer so haven't been able to upload any picture here is several months as you can tell. My DH doesn't have some of the programs on his computer that I did on mine so it's not as easy to get some things done. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to getting one. Hopefully soon.
We here at the Dillion house want to wish you and all your families a wonderful and blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Now on a business note, I want to tell you that on January 5, 2011 the New Occasion Mini will go live and you won't want to miss it. It is so full of wonderful stamps, papers and accessories that you won't know where to start. I know I didn't know what to buy first. Don't miss this great little catalog with so much inside. For you copy please email me at the address below and i'll be sure to get one to you. Or if you would like to host your own workshop please get with me and we'll get your date set and you too will be able to earn free merchandise. Just contact me thru the info at the bottom of the page and we'll save your date today.

Again, wishing you and all a wonderful Holiday Season.

Susie

WOW! It's been awhile.

2010-10-01T05:26:00.002-04:00

WOW! It's been awhile since I've been here to post anything. My computer went south (crashed) and cannot be fixed so I need to get another one and I cannot decide if I want another laptop or go back to a desktop. Such decisions. LOL! I cannot still access the internet with my husbands computer and I think that is why I haven't rushed made any decisions yet. I just am limited on function. I cannot load pics to my blog or surf the net alot. This is his school computer and I dont want to do to much on it as he needs it for school stuff. So I've been limited to what I can do or not. So please be patient with me until I get another computer and get it up and going with everything I need and then Ill be back to blogging as usual.
I hope you all are having a great fall so far. The weather here in Indiana has been great. Not too cool and by the afternoon in the 70's. Great fall weather. I hope yours is as good also. So take care and I'll be back soon hopefully to post some more pics. Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day.

OH MY GOSH!!! HOLIDAY MINI!

2010-08-22T07:35:00.011-04:00

Oh my gosh! How time flies. I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I have been on here. I have been so busy with work and vacation and family things that I didn't realize that time has flown by. Since my last post, I took my 2 oldest grandkids to Chicago to stay with my youngest daughter for 3 days. They loved it. The oldest lives in Indianapolis and she thought she lived in the big city until she say Chicago. She loved the buildings and all the sites. My daughter lives right downtown and of course they walk everywhere. Well you thought we were killing them. They were used to getting in the car and riding. So needless to say they got their walking exercise while we were there. It was a great time to see my daughter and to spend time with the kids. Hopefully next year I will be able to take the middle grandchild with us.

Anyway back to stamping. I've been trying to get ready for a couple of craft shows we do in the fall as a Church group and with working my free time is nill. So hopefully with the holidays approaching (oh my gosh, the holidays are approaching, I can't believe I said that), that I'll be able to get some cards posted. I am planning my Christmas card class that will be at the end of September along with fall shows and craft shows. So I am planning on getting the cards for the Christmas class posted soon so if anyone is interested in attending you will l have time to get your order and reservation in.

HOLIDAY MINI! Yes the Holiday mini will be here soon also. I it will be live on September 1st and you won't believe all the new and exciting things in there. Anything form stamp sets to fabric. Yes I said fabric, designer fabric exclusive to Stampin Up. And wonderful brainstorming ideas to get your enthusiasm going. Ill post more about the mini as it gets closer to the first.

So in the meantime here are a few cards that I have been working on. Some I've cased and some are mine. I want to thank all you fine and talented stampers out there that Inspire me.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

2010-07-03T06:38:00.002-04:00

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. This is a time of celebration and lots of parties. I wish all to be safe and have a blessed holiday.

New Stampin' Up Year has Arrived!

2010-07-03T06:24:00.002-04:00

Wow! Where has the last year gone? Someone once told me that the older you get the faster time goes. And I believe it. This last year has gone by so fast. So here we are into a new Stampin" Up year and that means a new catty. And WOW what a catty. I can't believe all the new items that came with the new color renovation. Sometimes changes are rough but this one is so exciting that I believe you are going to sail right through it with out even a blink. With all the new stamps and colors comes new ribbons, brads, papers and much more. Oh yes, I don't want to forget to tell you about the new markers and crayons. And for a bonus, if you already have the crayons and markers you can buy an upgrade set that you can incorporate right into the sets you already have. You don't have to purchase all new ones.

If you don't have your copy of the new catty yet, please get in touch with me and I'll be sure to get one to you. You don't want to wait for this one. You can reach me thru the info at the bottom of this site and I'll be right back with you with your copy.

4th of JULY

2010-06-16T09:08:00.002-04:00

I have been cleaning out and getting the urge to use some of the colors that are retiring. So I made this card for the 4th of July. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

ELEMENTS OF STYLE

2010-05-08T08:11:00.004-04:00

These two cards were made using the Elements of Style stamp set in the Summer Mini. I stamped with versamark and then black embossing powder then colored them with markers and a aqua painter. The colors are regal rose and old olive and ballet blue in the second one. Gorgeous stamp set with several options for your own style, from classic to vintage. Be sure to check it out in the new Summer Mini.
You can't forget about Grandma and Grandpa. Here is a card I made using real red, going gray and vanilla cs and stamped with the pedaling past (summer mini set) and let the fun begin stamp sets. Sorry for the blurr, I haven't figured out how to get that out yet. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the sentiment on the large oval. This is a simple and quick card for any occasion. Click on the mini catalog below and it will take you to the summer mini so you can preview it. Don't hesitate, it is only here until August 31.

SUMMER MINI!

2010-05-08T07:59:00.003-04:00

The new summer mini is here, and boy is it full of new and exciting products. A new stampin around builder wheel to custom stamp your images to the great smooch spritz sprays (I love these) to wonderful papers, stamp sets and decor element for just about any occasion you can think of.

You won't want to wait, so be sure to get in touch with me soon so we can get you set up with your copy. Interested in having a get together with some friends? Let me know and we can set that up also. Can't wait to hear from you. My contact info is at the bottom of the page.

CARDS, CARDS, AND MORE CARDS!!!

2010-05-05T06:34:00.015-04:00

Looking ahead at my May classes to make fathers day cards, here is a card that I made using some of the retiring items. This one is on Kraft cs with the Log Cabin smooch spritz and old olive, really rust and vanilla cs. I stamped the tree from Lovely as a Tree set and the sentiment from Let the Fun Begin set. I also smooched the frame from the vanilla hodgepodge. Then I used my heat tool to set the spray quicker. It worked great. I think I am going to try it in the other colors and see what effect I get. I just love this smooch, it added a great touch to your projects. Cannot wait to start showing it.
Here is a retirement card I made using the Branch Out (retired) and Peddling Past sets. On ruby red and old olive cs. You cannot see it but I stamped the inside with the "Happy Retirement" stamp from Let the Fun Begin set. One set I missed for so long. Goes to show that sometimes you never see all that Stampin' has to offer.

A couple more cards with the Vintage Vogue set. Love this one also. Hope you like. Decided to use some of the vanilla hodgepodge frames I have been keeping for whatever reason, who knows. I think they have a name for that. lol

A couple cards I made using the Ribbon of Hope stamp and shades of pink.
Here is a card I made using some of the pink scraps I have extra. I used I (Heart) Hearts set and several different pink inks. Hope you like it.
I really like this card but I am so sorry for the blurr. I don't know what happened this time. It's on ww, so saffron, and bouquet bunch and one of a kind stamp sets. Simple but cute.
Here is a neat card that would be a great fathers day card. It will be here before we know it. It is on vanilla and choc chip cs. I stamped the motorcycle image then smooched with the log cabin spray. I love this smooch. I used the one of a kind stamp set and added 3 eyelets. Hope you like it.
This card was a quick one with very little stamping. I used papers from the welcome neighbor DSP pad, scallop punched mellow moss layer and stamped with the Peddling Past stamp set. Love this set. Quick and easy.
Here is another try at the black magic technique. I am trying to use up some of my discontinued papers, so I used lovely lilac splattered with the spritzer and lilac marker and ww cs and satin ribbon. Sentiment from another source.
This card I made from regal rose and vanilla cs and I used mostly vintage stencil. I sponged regal rose ink in the center then creamy caramel and choc chip around the outer edge of the stencil. Tore the edges and sponged them with choc chip. Added vanilla satin ribbon and a half pearl from the pretties kit. Then smooched all with vanilla. No sentiment, couldn't decide what to do from here. Maybe you can give me ideas.
Here is a different angle so hopefully you can see the shimmer from the vanilla smooch spritz on the front of the card. I love this smooch spritz, have I mentioned that before? LOL

I am so excited about the new color renovation for this summer. With the new Catty for 2010-2011 we will be having a new color change. Remember, change is good for growth. We will be loosing some of the colors we were comfortable with but in return we will be getting 5 new colors and 10 returning old in-colors.

Here is a list of the ones that will be retiring on the 1st of July. But don't be sad, remember we have all the new and returning colors to take their place. Just think of all the exciting things you can make with them. If you would like to see the new items and colors be sure to get in touch with me and lets get a date set for a get-together with your friends and family so they can see them also. Just get in touch with me thru this site and I'll be sure to make it a eventful time.

EASTER WISHES

2010-03-14T14:14:00.003-04:00

Here is a card I put together using the Abundant Hope and Refuge and Strength sets. Dsp out of the paper pack from the SAB brochure and old olive taffeta ribbon. Hope you like what you see.

Sorry you are under the weather Tess.

2010-03-14T14:09:00.005-04:00

Here are a couple cards I made with Tess. I needed to clean off my work desk and so I put a couple of cards together. Hope you like. The first one I made raindrops using crystal effects tinted with a little bashful blue reinker and dropped on the page with the end of a wooden skewer.

Easter Basket

2010-03-14T14:03:00.003-04:00

Here is my case of Gretchen Barrons Easter Basket. I just love her ideas. She is so creative. I wanted to make it this month for my monthly Sunday night class so I changed it a little. I took the same design and changed the decorations. I made the paper roses using the large flower punch we have, I cannot remember whos turtorial, but when I do you've got the credit. There's a great video on Stampin connection for these flowers. Thanks to both of you ladies for the ideas. You are great.

RETRO TESS

2010-03-03T09:35:00.002-05:00

I just received my stamp set Totally Tess and I had to use it, so I made this retro card with the new Sweet Pea DSP in the mini. I used taken with teal, only orange and w.w. card stock. I re-stamped the image again on some Razzleberry Lemonade dsp and cut out her pants and top and added a flower from Beary Best Friends set. What do you think?

A LATE VALENTINE CARD

2010-03-03T09:31:00.003-05:00

Here is a late Valentine card I did when I was cleaning up my desk the other day. This is the first one I make with the Sweet treat cups. I've had them but never used them. Hope you like it. I used the large flower from the Flower folds die and the new little heart punch in the mini.

It's Been Awhile!!!

2010-02-28T06:35:00.003-05:00

Hello to all of you bloggers out there. It's been awhile since I've been here. That's sad. I've been busy with working (thank God I have a job to be busy at) and with life in general. I praise all you crafters and demonstrators who are able to be on your blog and creating every day. It amazes me that you are able to do that everyday. You must be so organized. Anyway, I have been making cards and best of all I have been busy sewing the rag quilt purses. They are great gifts and I have been able to sell some. I have been making some totes with the Indianapolis Colts fabric and the people at work are crazy for them. They have even special ordered several with their own combination of colors for their kids and such. Its been fun. So when I get to card making I don't have the time to always get them posted.
I want to remind all of you this is Sale-a-bration time. With every $50 worth of merchandise on a order you get to choose a item from the Sale-a-bration catty. And remember this year there are several items out of the regular catalog that you can pick from. Just imagine that you can get stamp sets, punches, and papers for free. What else can you ask for? This offer is only until the end of March and then it is gone until next year. So be sure to take advantage of it now.

We also have the Occasions Mini catty available also, it is here until the end of April. So be thinking about checking out the items in this mini for purchasing. There are more new punches, papers and stamp sets for all occasions. (Hence the name). This year Stampin' Up and made the papers selections into paper packs. So you get 12x12 pages in a convenient pack with several color combinations. This is a great assortment of pages to choose from.

Be sure to get in touch with me to set a time that will best serve you and your friends for a quick get together so show them the new items and make a quick card or two. You can get in touch with me through this blog or you can order online at luvintostamp.stampinup.net. Don't let this time slip away from you, get in touch with me soon and we'll get these items in your hands as soon as possible.

2010-01-29T07:46:00.004-05:00

This one is with sahara sand and regal rose cs and regal rose and old olive ink and the vintage vogue and whimsical words stamp sets. I sponged the centers of the flowers with summer sun.

2010-01-29T07:39:00.002-05:00

I used close to cocoa, ruby red, and ivory cs. with cameo coral, ruby red and old olive ink. I used a dauber with so saffron ink to tint the center of the flowers. and then I used ribbon originals retired ribbon. I hope you like.

MORE VALENTINE CARDS !!!

2010-01-20T12:44:00.008-05:00

Here are 3 cards that I made with left over papers I already had cut from my Sunday evening class. All I did was maybe change the color of the ribbon or add a brad. I never let paper go to waste. I may not get back to it right away, but eventually I do get it used. I have this large pile of scraps on the side of my desk that I just keep working my way thru it. Hope you enjoy these samples. TFL

Here is a card that was a swap at my Sunday night class. It's out of Regal Rose and Almost Amythist. It uses the new pinking heart border punch and the new dot, dot, dot stamp set. Isn't it cute? There are 2 different views of it.

I used the triple heart punch along with the new little heart punch, well scripted stamp set and very vaniolla satin ribbon held with a hat pin from our pretties set. Don' you just love it?

Beary Best Friends

2009-09-17T20:45:00.004-04:00

Here is a card that I made with the Beary Best Friends set along with Season of Friendship set and the sentiment from the Garden Greetings set. I cut the Soft Suede cs with the scallop edge punch and then scored it on the paper cutter with the scoring blade to make the fence. Hope you like it. TFL!

WOW! ITS BEEN A WHILE!

2009-09-17T20:24:00.003-04:00

Hello again. It's been a while since I've been here to post anything. I think my last post was on Aug 1st. I've had a few computer glitches. I had to get them straightened out, still struggling with the email portion of it. Since I've posted last I've been busy with life. Not only working all the time and getting ready for fall shows I got to go to regionals for the first time. And Oh My Gosh! I really enjoyed them. Got to meet several people that you only hear of on the internet, and received so many terriffic swaps. Cannot wait to get to case them. Here I posted my swap that I took with me. I used black, only orange, white cs and the Beary Best Friends stamp set. and then I made the pumpkin out of the 1"circle punch and the small and large oval for the handles. then cut slits with my craft knife along side his hand and wove the handkle thru the cs and attached the pumpkin. The background was scored at an angle with the scoreing blade from top right to bottom left. It might be hard to see in this picture.

GIFT TAG BOXES

2009-08-05T07:54:00.003-04:00

Here is my version of the gift tag box on page 14 of the IBC. I dont remember where I saw the measurements for the 6 compartment box, but I want to thank you anyway. I love these. These are great for any time of year and any occassion. This one is Christmas and the small one is everyday. Just email me and I'll be glad to get them to you.

NEW CARDS

2009-07-30T10:12:00.005-04:00

Wanted to show you a card I made for a friend at work. He requested a card with a bass guitar. I actually had to go online to see what a bass guitar looked like. So I cut out all my pieces freehand and attached to ww card stock layered on rich razzleberry then on soft suede. Drew my strings with white gel pen. I didnt think it was too bad, he thought it was great. Just wanted to share. Hope you like.

This card is made with the VeryThankful stamp set. I used the little turtle stamp and watercolor paper with celery, olive, caramel and melon markers with aqua painter to shade. I tapped the card front with stamp from itty bitty backgrounds and then ran thru the Big Shot with the Harlequin texturz plate. Hope you can see the background. Added an eyelet with the crop-a-dile and then added the soft suede ribbon. Layered the turtle on soft suede and added deminsionals. Very simple and quick. Hope you like it.

Here is a picture of a card I made with the new Thoroughly Modersn DSP and the Very thankful RMH stamp set. I added sponged flowers from the pretties kit and 1/4" rose red ribbon. The stamp I colored wtih olive, suede, melon, and bermuda bay markers then stamped on ww card stock, layered on melon and then suede.

RAZZLE DAZZLE

2009-06-30T08:43:00.003-04:00

This is the new Razzle Dazzle stamp set and the new incolors paper and inks. The dsp is from the level 3 hostess set, Lovely flower bundle.

Here is another card with the Razzle Dazzle set and the new Razzleberry Lemonade dsp. I used old olive cs for matting as I think this is a great compliment to these colors. And the Rose red grosgrain ribbons we already have in our catty matches wonderful. Also remember those small areas you would love to put the incolors on your stamps? Well now you can with the new incolors markers. Love them! I think I have used them more than the ink pads.

AUTUMN DAYS STAMP SET

2009-06-30T08:28:00.005-04:00

The new Autumn Days stamp set is a great set. It has stamps for fall and winter and goes so well with the new incolors. This card shows a pheasant walking thru a wheat field in the sunset. Great set for Thanksgiving, Christmas or masculine cards. I'm sure you'll agree when you see it. This card is done with all new incolors.

I love this set, very versatile, this one I used the new crushed curry cs with old olive and ww. I stamped the background in versamark with the same branch stamp as behind the pheasant. The sentiment is not SU.

Here is another card with the new Autumn Days stamp set. Then I used the stripped RHR ribbon and the sentiment from Holidays and Wishes set.

GOOD TO BE BACK

2009-06-11T19:03:00.002-04:00

Wow! It's been awhile since I've been here. Alot has happened since my last post. My youngest child graduated from Indiana University and moved to Chicago and is job hunting. (anyone with job leads let me know). LOL. So we were out of town for awhile with graduation, packing and moving. Then, praise God, I've been working alot of hours at work and not a lot of time to get anything done or hold many classes. I do have one this Sunday evening and I am excted about it. I feel out of the loop since I havent held any. So hopefully I can get some projects made and posted. I have been looking at everything you really talented people have been sharing on your messages and sudsol and am green with envy. I have seen several things I would like to case and when I do you'll all get the credit. Thanks for the inspiration. Look back soon for my soon-to-post projects.

MATCHBOX MESSAGES

2009-04-29T15:03:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone. I decided to make a sample of boxes using the Matchbox Messages stamps from the Occasion Mini catty. So I hope you all enjoy them and that they give you some inspiration. The one on the left I used RHR box and the Tea Party dsp and wrapped with RHR stripped ribbon and stamped the "a little something" circle on w.w. and punched out with 1 1/4" circle punch and layered on rhr cs and punched with 1 3/8" punch and layered with demensionals. The center one has a Tangering Tango box with w.w. wrap sponged all over with tangerine ink then decorated with the little leaves from the sizzlit die and layered the "little thanks" circle stamp on top. Then the one on the right is a Summer Sun box with dsp wrap from the SAB catty and layered the frame stamp in celery on summer sun and stamped with the Sweet Stems stamp set. I hope you like them.

On the box on the left in this picture I made the box of pacific point and the cover from the Walk in the Park dsp. The label is w.w. sponged with baja breeze and stamped with Pacific point. The center box is of pixie pink with Tea Party dsp and a w.w. label sponged with pretty in pink and stamped with pixie pink. Then the one on the right (my favorite) is a old olive box with a white cover sponged lightly all over with olive and stamped with the vine stamp in olive. Then I got out my Christmas sets and used the words from A Cardinal Christmas and the poinsetta from Season of Joy sets, then attached with crystal effects a half pearl from the pretties kit.

SORROW in the BREEZE CARD

2009-04-29T14:56:00.002-04:00

Here is a sympathy card I made with the new Walk in the Park DSP from the Occasion Mini. I layered Baja Breeze cs with the dsp and layered on a top note of w.w. sponged with baja ink. Then stamped with the vine and verse from Thoughts and Prayers set inked with old olive and bordering blue. I stamped the verse on ww and punched out with the large oval and sponged the edge and layered on a scalloped oval punch of baja. Hope you like.

OVAL ALL BOX SET

2009-04-26T21:29:00.005-04:00

Today I made a gift set using the Oval All class planner Melissa Stout posted on the Stampin' Up website. Melissa is my upline so of course I am pretty partial to her, she is very talented. I used the Oval All set but changed the papers and did my own layouts for the cards. The colors I used were basic gray, kiwi kiss, rose red and ww. Also large oval, wide oval, and scalloped oval punches and the eyelet border punch with the satin stripped ribbon. Hope you like.

MATCHBOX CASE

2009-04-26T21:17:00.003-04:00

Hello there. I just had to show you my version of Melissa Rogers' matchbox gift. She posted hers the other day on her blog www.megastampinstudio.com and I asked if she cared if I cased and this is mine. I use the checkered paper in the Slumber Party DSP and filled with 3 of the matchbox centers attached with sticky strip. Attached a designer baja button with a rhinestone brad from the pretties kit and then used a piece of linen thread to the bottom of the box and wrapped it around the button to hold the box shut. It was very simple to put together. I want to thank Melissa for the inspiration.

Here is the inside of the box. I hold the usual 4 pc nuggets each. I wrapped them with a 3" piece of in color ribbons, and stamped the "just for you" stamp from the Oval All set from the Occasion Mini in Baja Breeze and layered on RHR. This makes a real nice Hostess Thank You or a door prize gift. Enjoy!

2009-04-22T10:39:00.002-04:00

Here is my card I did for the design challange for LNS #16. I used pretty in pink cs layered with tea party dsp and w. white scalloped trim and then tied up with celery 5/8" and 1/4 " ribbon then topped with celery and white cs stamped with If the Halo Fits stamp set and colored with markers in blush, saffron, pretty in pink and banana. This was fun, I don't get to do alot of these with working all the time. Hopefully I can do more. Hope you enjoy it.

FLOWER POT CARDS

2009-04-22T08:11:00.003-04:00

I love the flower pot cards everyone's making so I had to give it a try. Mine are assorted flowers and then a pot of violets. Hope you like.

My Quilt Card

2009-04-10T08:59:00.002-04:00

I was interested in the quilt cards others were making so I decided to try it. I love the interest that quilts have. I am impressed with them and the ones who make them. So, here is my version of a quilt card. I cut my 1" squares out of the print pack in the hostess set level 1 of the Regal Rose, Apricot and the Basic Gray and glued them to a piece of non-SU white paper (lighter weight) and then trimmed to size and layered to Basic Gray and then on to Apricot CS. Wrapped 5/8" Rose ribbon around and layered a piece of matching ribbon and sewed a button on top to hold together with white embrodery (sp) thread. Then stamped the hearts out of the Wagon Full of Fun Set out of the Occasion Mini, colored with Markers and cut out and put on with demensionals. This card can be used for almost anything. I think it would make a great card for Mothers or Grandmothers since that is what I think of when I think of quilts. And remember Mothers day is next month. Not to soon to be thinking of May. Hope you Like.

LATE NIGHT STAMPING

2009-04-04T21:20:00.008-04:00

Hi all. Wanted to show you some of the items I've been working on these past few days. Been busy working so not much time to create. These are some of the items I will be sending to Sherrill Graff for her Late Night Stampers. Yes I have been chosen to create for her for the month of April. What a honor to be chosen. There are so many creative stampers and scrapbookers out there that I feel lucky to get the honor to be one of her crafters. Thanks Sherrill. Look at all of these little machbox boxes. I made these for Easter gifts for some friends at church and at work. They hold 4 pc of hersheys nuggets very snug, so are easy to tie ribbon around.

Here is my Lucky Duck card. This card is in Pacific Point and Old Olive cs with SAB dsp and Old Olive Ribbon and ran thru the Big Shot texture plate. Sorry for the blurriness. Must be a little shakey. Been working super early hours and not sleeping enough. Think I need to get some rest.

Another card with the Tea Party dsp. I used the texture plate from the Big Shot for the card front. Stamped, colored,cut out and used flower brad for the flower. No saying, just a versatile card. I have no idea why this is underlined. LOL.

This card is out of Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. Sorry for the poor picture, bad lighting and angle.

MOVERS AND SHAPERS BOX

2009-03-28T08:18:00.002-04:00

This little cuttie is made from the Movers and Shapers Big Shot die. I saw it online this morning and I accidently deleted it so I am sorry I cannot tell you who made it. If it is you please email me and let me know. This is a nice size bow and will hold anything from mini note cards to lots of goodies. Yum!

ENVELOPE EASTER BASKET

2009-03-28T08:05:00.004-04:00

Here is my version on the envelope Easter basket. I used Banana cs and the dsp from the SAB mini. Scalloped the handle with our Scallop Edge Punch and layered with the striped dsp. This is such a simple basket to make and if you would like for your friends to be able to make this cute basket be sure to give me a call and I'll be glad to set up a time we could all get together and create. You can contact me thru the info at the bottom of the blod. Thanks for looking.

This view shows a upclose of the end of the handle. I used the Petal Pizzazz set and punched out the flowers and attached with a bow.

MATCHBOX DRESSER

2009-03-24T07:59:00.003-04:00

Here is a cute little dresser I made from the new matchbox die available in the 2009 occasions mini. I used the sweet slumber specialty textured dsp in the catty and baja breeze, going gray and riding hood red cs with the yellow flower brads from the flower brad collection. Then I tied it up with the striped rhr ribbon. This would be handy on any desk for clips, rubberbands, push pins or any other small objects you use daily. And think of all the coments you'll get, they all will want one. Get in touch with me and we'll set a date for your workshop to make this little dresser and then all your friends will have their own. This isn't all my idea, I cased this from Grethen Barron. She does such good work and had great ideas. Thanks Gretchen.

CARD ORGANIZER

2009-03-23T21:31:00.007-04:00

Here is my version of the birthday card organizer that I cased from Anne Beale Yancy. You can see her work at www.mukibug.com. She does great work. Thanks for sharing Anne.

Here is the pic of the pages. I used bordering blue, choc chip ink and bordering blue, choc chip and creamy carmel cs.

Here is a closeup of the butterfly in the bottom corner. I used the Butterfly die from the catty. I just got it so I had to use it of course.

2009-03-23T20:50:00.008-04:00

This card I used God's Beauty set from the Hostess set level one. I colored with the crayons and used the watercolor technique and cut out the little flowers and attached with glue dots and used Raspberry Tart DSP.

Here I used Tea Time dsp and Playful Petals set and embossed the card front on the big shot. I stamped, markered and clear embossed and cut out the large flower then attached to the card.

This card is from the Wagon Full Of Fun and Flight of the Butterfly.

This card is with the darling dots hostess set from the catty and new satin ribbon. This card is with the branch out set and the cloud technique on the back layer. You probably cannot see it in this picture but it is so simple to do and adds a lot to the card.

Another SAB card.

This card I made for a friend at work. It is with the bella birds dsp and blush pink with choc chip ribbon and embossed in white ep with the Congratulation set from the SAB.

TOP NOTE BOX

2009-03-10T11:55:00.004-04:00

Here is a box I made with the Top Note die and the Tea Party DSP. It was so simple and went together in about 10 min after all items were cut. I stamped the images on the top on matching card stock and clear embossed and cut out and layered with so saffron ribbon and attached a build-a-brad to hold all together and attached to top of box with large glue dot. Then stamped words from One of a Kind set and layered the oval punches. Added a flower and a half pearl from the pretties kit. These would make cute gift boxes for any occasion..

2009-03-10T11:31:00.005-04:00

This card is on Creamy Caramel and Ivory cs with Kiwi Kiss Designer papers. Iused Refuge and Strength set and cut out the stem from Sweet Stems set. Would make a good Easter, encouragement or sympathy card.

This card is on Barely Banana cs with Pretty in Pink and Whisper White and Tea Party DSP. I spamped the large flower from Playful Petals and colored with markers the cut out and added a button to the center and bloom from Bloomin' Beautiful set. A good all-occasion card.

This picture also is on the same papers as the previous one. The verse is from Bellas Bloom and background stamped from Sweet Stems set. The bloom is stamped on white cs and colored with markers and cut out and adhered with glue dots and gold fine glitter on flower. Another cute spring card.

New Cards Before Work

2009-03-02T07:44:00.010-05:00

These 2 cards are cased from Gretchen Barron. I love the effect of the sunset. Same 2 stamp sets 2 different scenes. The butterflys are floating, you cannot see it here, but they are attached in the center with glue dots and the wings are bent forward as if they are flying. I used the cloud template that Roseanne Knowles mentioned on her site http://www.sumtoy.com/. I love the look, I might be putting clouds on everything. Thanks Roseanne.

This card is made with the Botanical Blooms set from SAB and Flight of the Butterfly set. Using the rock -n-roll technique and the 2 step stamping with the flowers. Notice the 3D butterfly on the flower. Too Cute.

This card is with the Branch Out stamp set and large and wide ovals and 1 1/4" circle punches. and paper piercing in the upper corners. I also used the Thoughts of Father sentiment. I put the top of the sentiment on the front and the bottom of the stamp inside.

SDC #40

2009-02-24T12:10:00.004-05:00

This is the card I did for the Sudsol challange #40 This is the first time I did a layout challange so I wanted to put it here so you could see it. It is also uploaded to Sudsol where you can see alot of the other samples. Hope you like.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2009-02-22T11:37:00.004-05:00

My birthday was last week so I decided it was time to get in the mood for some upcoming birthdays. It seems we have them scattered throughout the year. Several in the spring. So I thought I would get out the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set and do something with it. I love this set but it seems I get hooked on 1 or 2 sets and let some of the others go by the wayside. So here are a few cards I made this morning before work.

This first one I used Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery cs with matching markers and blue ribbon. I used 1 1/4 and 1 3/8" circles, large oval and the label punches and DSP from SAB mini. I love this card and the colors but I cannot take credit for the layout, I saw a card from Gretchen Barron's site, she makes such nice cards in colors and layouts. I love her ideas, so I borrowed this layout. I hope that you like it also. Thanks Gretchen.

2009-02-22T11:34:00.004-05:00

This one I used So Saffron, celery and bashful blue papers and markers. The wide and large ovals and 1 1/4" circle punches and celery ribbon. Very simple but sweet.

2009-02-22T11:29:00.003-05:00

This card I used Orchid Oppulance, Pixie Pink and Whisper White cs. I cut out the cupcake and on the icing i used white embossing and chunky glitter, marker on the candle and pieced it back together. I also used versamark on the background and white grosgrain ribbon.

MINI-MAGAZINE HOLDERS

2009-02-14T08:50:00.004-05:00

Aren't these so cute. They are so easy to make. I can't take all the credit for the design. They are so practical for the office or just at home on your desk. You'll be the talk of the office, they'll all want one. Ok, mabe not, but aren't they cute. Just the right size for 3x3 note cards or post-its. These are made with Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, Choc Chip and Pink Pirouette and Bella Rose DSP.

ANOTHER NEW CARD

2009-02-05T16:26:00.003-05:00

Here is another card I made using the Raspberry Tart DSP and the Petal Pizzaz Stamp Set. I cased this one from SCS, not sure who, but loved the layout and colors. Using Rose Red and Kiwi Kiss and Pink Taffeta ribbon and the scalloped square punch it makes a really neat combination.

Sale-A-bration Card

I cased this card from SCS, I dont remember who, but I loved it and thought it would be a nice card for a workshop since you can use so many different punches and embellishments.It is the Polka Dot Punches Set from the Sale-a-bration catty. I love this set. It has matching DSP with some wonderful designs. I used a piece on the front and then a 1/2in circle of the green print inside the build-a-brad. I also used the So Saffron and Celery ribbon bundle available in the mini.

MINI PHOTO ALBUM

2009-01-29T13:07:00.004-05:00

This is a mini album that I came up with while thinking up something to do at my Sunday evening class. It uses the new Sweet Stems Stamp Set and Kiwi Kiss DSP. I also used Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, whisper white and Kisi Kiss cardstock and I also used the white cardboard that comes as backing in your DSP packs. The front uses Pink and white with Kiwi Kiss and Pink Taffeta ribbons. On the following pages you can see that I made pockets with tags for pictures or journaling. I cut envelopes with the envelope die and the Big Shot and added them as pages. I made little tags that slide in the envelopes for little notes. I also used the flower die and cut some small flowers as accents. I also used the new Polka Dot Punches Set from the SAB mini and several punches. This turned out really cute, I think they will enjoy making this. If you want the measurements, please leave a comment and I'll email them to you.

THE RUSTIC ROOSTER

2009-01-21T12:43:00.003-05:00

I love this set, The Rustic Rooster. Roosters are so popular in so many ways right now. This is a versatile stamp that can be put together is so many colors. This card is in Real Red, textured whisper white paper and Raspberry Tart DSP with Kiwi kiss striped ribbon, crysal effects and deminsionals. I stamped the white with kiwi and the text stamp and then stamped over with a red rooster. Then tore the bottom edge of the paper and swiped across the red pad.

2009-01-21T12:28:00.002-05:00

This card I made with Petal Pizzaz Stamp set. If kind of reminds me of the Ginormous Flowers in the past catalogs. I love the big prints, great for scrapbooking. This card uses Kiwi Kiss, Rose red, whisper white card stock. Regal rose, Kiwi kiss and Rose red ink. Rose red ribbon, Build-a-brad, large and wide oval punches and pop dots.

Still Another LoveYou Much Project!

2009-01-16T10:28:00.003-05:00

I think this is so cute and so versatile. Think of so many occassions you could use this little tote for. I cannot take all of the credit though. I saw the idea on another site but I cannot remember who though. I apoligize about that. But I couldn't resist the urge to make one. So here is mine using the Big Shot Top Note and the Candy Lane DSP along with the Love You Much Stamp Set. I also used gold cord(retired) and the word window punch. Hopefully from this angle you can see how it is put together. It is very simple and took about 10 min.

I really like this set, can you tell.

2009-01-15T07:56:00.002-05:00
