Bad Kitty....


Please forgive me as I deviate a bit from all things Stampin' Up.  This is my #3 wearing her Bad Kitty T-shirt for book day at school.  We made this one together & had tons of fun.  The funny part is she was walking around with her chest stickin out so everybody can see the shirt just like Superman.  (lol)  
I also figured out that my new best friend is freezer paper.  You can make any stencil with this paper, iron it on to the shirt, paint, then peel the stencil off after fabric paint dried.  My #1 and I made this tee for pi day:



Not sure if you can tell but we had the numbers go around the bottom of the shirt.  Gotta love that freezer paper!

Thanks for letting me share!

A Scrapbook...


This is a scrapbook I had from eons ago...I just never got around to use it since I had fallen in love with Stampin' Up's scrapbooks.  Finally, I got the chance and make a basket to raffle off at a fundraiser and I said it's time to part with it.  I just embellished the window in the front with some wonderful DSP, Just Add Cake.  I also used the On Board Merry Medley chipboard.

A Cute Set....

I made these to raffle off for a fundraiser...

I throughly enjoyed (of course I do love to play with paper) creating this set.  It's so bright and love this print. I know I've been posting this for several posts now and I apologize that I keep saying this but I LOVE this patterned paper.  Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!  I'm sad to say that this is going to be gone as Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st :(  
The best is its FREE with any $50 purchase! 

Anyhoo, I made a clipboard covered in this gorgeous paper, with a matching card (you can read about here), a dvd case note pad with a pen (I didn't take a pic of it sorry) with paper inside of the barrel and some blingy rhinestones.   Lastly, the clear frames with the paper and a little bird with the Bird Builder punch with a dry erase marker velcro-ed on the back.  

Here is a pic of the back: 


Here is the completed basket...it also had a scrapbook in there.

Just Add Cake & Perhaps a Butterfly...


A small note pad for a To-Do List!  I used Stampin' Up's Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper which has the letters as one side of the design.  I simply punched the letters I wanted using the 1/2" Circle punch.  I used Baroque Motifs which is an oldie but goodie and embossed on the butterfly which I cut using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die.


Here is the inside...
Hope you like!

It's YOUR Day...






I know I've must've mention this before but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Stampin' Up's Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper.  Gosh, they just about got so many of my favorite colors and they are all together no less.  Anyhoo...this card I actually made with a bunch of other items for a raffle basket which I hope to post soon.  I had so much fun creating this one completely off the "top of my head" for once not necessarily a CASE.  Hooraay!

Okay, so I used the Scallop Edge Border, Modern Label Punch & 5-Petal Flower (for the green leaves).  Then I used the 1-3/4" Circle Punch to make the flowers by cutting them in a spiral and twirling them into flowers. Finally adding a small Pearl Accent..so stinkin' cute!  The sentiment is from the Your My Type set (which I love see previous posts) Lastly, the pattern paper is from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog which is ending on March 31st..yikes!  ...and it's FREE with any $50 order.



Hope you like!

So Enchanted...


Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper in such enchanted colors from Stampin Up!  I just love the Peach Parfait, with Pool Party combo.  What's your favorite?  Well there are so many to choose from but this one just screams "clean & fresh"  something that you can almost smell in the air as spring is just around the corner.  (I can't complain of course we've been blessed with a very mild winter.)  This Designer Series paper is from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog and you can get it for FREE with any $50 order.  So this makes this card sweeter than ever!

The stamp set is form the Bring On the Cake stamp set.  Also use the Scallop Square punch.  Super easy card and all you have to do is change the sentiment and viola got a card for a different occasion.

Happy V-Day!!



     Love is in the air!  Came across this simple and very CUTE card on Stampin' Pretty's blog.     It's so simple yet elegant and very cute...oh did I say that already.  We did this card for this months class and had fun making them.  The bold stamps are a bit of a challenge to get them to look so perfectly filled in.  What I did was take the basic black marker to certain parts of the stamped image.  Some of my stampers liked that somewhat vintage/ faded look.  Make sure your ink pad is nice and juicy this will help!


     The paper I used was Sweet Shop from the current mini.  Of course the stamp set is called You're My Type.  Comes with 5 other sayings. (a little note..., hello,  from the desk of, happy birthday and thank you)  This is a versatile set and will be using it to make some stationery for some friends!

Digital Scrapbooking anybody???

     My Digital Studio Express Trial -- Digital Download
     Stampin' Up! has developed a digital scrapbooking program that is really more than just that.  You can create scrapbooks, photo books, calendars, cards and even then embellish them with some brads/ ribbon or whatever your lil' heart desires after your printed it. You can even have your project professionally printed!! How cool!


     Even though I enjoy and most often would rather play with paper and the actual stamp, I found that on several occasions I was thankful I had Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio.  Ie. When I had to make 50 Thank you's for my DD 12th birthday...it was soooo much easier to click, click and print! 


    Well why am I rambling on and on here...mainly because Stampin' Up! is offering My Digital Studio for a FREE 30 days.  So if you were sitting on the fence NOW you can actually see it, touch it and get a chance to play around with it.  



Thanks for looking!!!
