Top Note Christmas

This is a great card to use those scraps of Designer Series Paper on-I used the Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin' Kit paper for this card. Simply punch out squares, line them up on card stock for a quilt look, then run through the Big Shot with the Top Note die. I love the new Glimmer Brads too!

Party Hearty & Builder Wheels

Here's another fun card, using the Builder Wheels-I left a space in the middle and the 5/8" grosgrain ribbon is just the right size to fill in the space! I used Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip for the ink. The Melon Mambo card stock was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. The party hat (Party Hearty set) has a little rhinestone to add some bling. :)

Ribbon Rose Card

I love this card! It was CASE'd by LeAnn Greff. I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the ribbon rose for that extra bit of fun.

Big Shot HAIR!

One of my favorite stampin' pals, Stephanie, came over to make hair bows with me. It was my first time, so I still need a lot more practice! Here are the bows I came up with. :) I used brads and other embellishments that I had already and cut out various shapes from the Big Shot and did a tiny bit of stitching, then attached a hair pin to the back side of each bow. These could also be worn on a blouse with a pin. I plan to keep practicing.

Tote

This was such a fun little tote to make. I got the directions from Leigh O'Brien's tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here. I used a retired DSP, but you can use whatever paper you like, and change up the design for every occasion.

Tree Trimmings Card

The stamp set used for this card is called Tree Trimmings (Pg. 44 of the catalog) and is a beautiful stamp set. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set (Pg. 157). The Basic Rhinestones add a little Christmas magic to the card. :) This is a very simple and clean cut card. Hope you enjoy it!

Card stock: Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Christmas Wine Bottle Topper

Who wouldn't love to get a dolled up wine bottle like this?! I CASE'd this adorable idea from Linda Joyce Steele; you can see her blog here. This would also make a cute door hanger, or Olive Oil topper. I used a square punch and the Word Window punch to make the snowman's hat. The antique brads give the scarf that perfect touch. My snowman reminds me of Tim Burton's characters! :)

Halloween Treat Holder

I wanted to create a cute Halloween treat box, so I searched online and found a great video tutorial here by the talented Dawn Griffith. It's so easy and cute! I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie for the card stock. I can't wait for Halloween!

Sweet Snowglobe

This card was a lot of fun to make with my girls. We used the new Sweet Snowglobe stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog, which coordinates with the treat cups. The Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink are perfect for Christmas. There is glitter inside the treat cup, so it feels like a real snowglobe. Christmas really is sneaking up quickly; start your planning!

Make Merry Milk Carton

I love this new Mini Milk Carton die from Stampin' Up! It only uses half a sheet of 8.5" x 11" and is a snap to assemble. I stamped on the Bashful Blue card stock, then added the tag to the mini clip with twine. To the tag, I added a rhinestone to give it a Christmas feel.

Time for School!

My kids started school this morning. My big boy is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in Kindergarten (full day). It's been a rough morning, but I know they'll have a wonderful year. They really do grow up too quickly!

Homework Box

My baby girl, Gaby, is starting Kindergarten this week! I made her a homework box, using scraps that I had. I love having all of her supplies together so we don't have to waste time searching for materials when it's time to do homework. She's thrilled to start school and is very ready for Kinder. I have made these boxes for all of my nieces and nephews when they started school as well. :)

Colorful Butterfly Card

I love the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper...don't forget that you only have until the end of this month to order this paper and all other goodies from the Summer Mini Catalog! I used the new self adhesive pearls for the center of the die cut butterfly. I thought this card turned out to be a fun, colorful and happy card.

Happy I Do Day

I love the new self adhesive rhinestones in the Stampin' Up! catalog! I thought the rhinestone would look perfect on the ring. The paper also happens to be the new "Blushing Bride" card stock. I spreyed the card stock (after using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder) with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spray, which gave the card a pretty touch. Thanks for looking!

Live With Passion

Hi Stampin' Friends! I hope you're all having a wonderful summer like I am! :) I CASE'd this card from page 104 of the catalog, but changed out the blue so I could use the beautiful Pacific Point card stock. Thanks for stopping by today.

Summer Fun Card

I needed a super quick and simple for my Technique Club since the other 2 cards were more detailed, so this is what I came up with. I love the Island Oasis DSP from the mini catalog. I used used the Island Floral die for the Big Shot to get quick flowers.

Butterflies

Here's another card that was totally CASE'd from the Stampin' Success magazine (a monthly magazine that Stampin' Up! demonstrators receive for free!). The creator is Stephanie Cadrette. I thought it was adorable, so we made this for my Technique Club this month. The butterflies were inked in Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Concord Crush.

Surfer Build-A-Bear

I LOVE this card! I totally CASE'd this card from my blogging stampin' friend, Rose Marie, who has a fantastic blog. Check out her card HERE. I didn't have the same paper that she used, so I decided to use a sponge and Whisper White craft ink to create an outdoor feel onto Marina Mist card stock. Also, I used Stampin' Up!'s new Log Cabin Smooch Spritz Spray to create a realistic looking sand base; it looks really great in person. Thanks for this great idea, Rose! :)

June Scrap Layout

Tea Party

Gabriella's tea party was quite a success; the girls had a blast and danced up a storm. I got the adorable tea cup box idea from Cindy Villa, and added colorful marshmallows inside the box. I added pink ribbon to the chairs, food racks and other items to doll it up. We had a make-up station, as well as a manicure station; thank you Aunties! The girls also got to decorate their hats with flowers. They all looked so cute sipping their "apple juice" tea. My awesome husband made the cupcake topiary. I was glad to finally have her tea party. :)
