Thoughts of You

Posted on June 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

This cute card was created as a swap for the members of my downline team.  Every other month my team gets together to meet and talk about Stampin’ Up! business as well as have fun and share lots of laughs. In our meetings we usually have pizza, we celebrate birthdays and maybe even have a glass of wine or two.  It’s a lot of fun.  If you were thinking about joining my team or becoming a new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would encourage you to give me a call or email today.

It’s All About You!

Posted on June 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

Are you noticing a theme yet? Are you noticing the color of my blog? Are you noticing the color that I seem to be drawn to the most?  It used to be Pool Party and now it’s the brand new In Color Coastal Cabana.  Love it, love it, love it!  It is totally me. 

Everything in my life is this color.  All my clothes are this color, my craft room is this color, everything is this color, love it!  The other thing I love about this particular card is the stamp.  The stamp is so cute and I love that Stampin’ Up! is now finally coming out with a bunch of stamps that are geared more towards younger generations and this stamp to me is completely me.   It’s really fun and shabby chic!

This card also showcases a great way to use up your scraps and you’ll notice that I used some of the new Designer Series paper on it as well.  You will also notice that the Simply Pressed Clay form on here is slightly tinted and that’s because I took the Simply Pressed clay which comes white and I added a little bit of the Pool Party marker to it.  Meaning I opened up the clay and pressed it in my fingers back and forth a few times.  Then I took my marker and I just scribbled on it with the paint tip.  Then I folded it over and pressed the clay in my hands back and forth a few times again and it tinted the clay.   It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s quick.

By the way, have I told you that you don’t have to bake this clay?  This clay completely sets itself.  You just let it set for a few hours or even overnight and there you go.  No baking what so ever.  Thank god because I think my oven would be on 24/7 with the way I’m using this clay.

It’s All Really Good

Posted on June 16, 2013 | Leave a comment

This bright and cheery card was made for a really good friend of mine who has been in a little bit of a “abyss” and I thought it was bright and cheery and would help get her in a better mood.  I can’t wait to hear from her to see what she thinks. It also uses the new Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds which are so much fun to use.

Relay for Life

Posted on June 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

Relay with MomInstead of my usual project posts, today I decided to tell you about something a little different.  You may have seen some posts in the past about this very special day.  You see, today is the 2nd day in the 20 hour Relay for Life that my family and I have been a part of for 9 years now.  You can see more on the link here.  We walk to honor my mom Rosemary (above), who is a breast cancer survivor as well as so many others near and dear to our heart.

If you are in the Central Massachusetts area, I highly recommend you go check it out today.  It’s SO much fun and there is great food, prizes and much more in celebrating those who’ve won the battle and remembering the ones we’ve lost.

Birthday Lollipop Card

Posted on June 14, 2013 | Leave a comment

OK, seriously, how cute is this card?  I can’t get enough of it.  I also can’t say that I came up with this original idea. I saw it Papercrafting magazine, but I just loved it.  And the most amazing thing about it is that it uses all of the brand new in colors just released in the new Stampin’ Up! 2013-2014 annual catalog.  View the catalog here. This card looks like the cutest little lollipop and can be given to anyone of any age.  In fact, I can completely picture anyone from a toddler loving it to an elderly person in assisted living.

Card Class with Gingham Garden, This and That and Paper Pumpkin

Posted on June 13, 2013 | Leave a comment

This 4 pack of cards was made for my card club class this month.  If you hadn’t heard of or know about my card club, please refer to this link.

IMG_9499

Three of these cards use the new DSP gingham garden (product #129310). This is my absolute favorite paper pack in the entire catalog.  So much so, that I’ve already used up the entire pack and am awaiting my second pack now. It is fabulous.  It is bright, it is colorful and it screams Summer and I am totally in love with this paper.  The other paper pack that I used in this group of cards is from the Epic day This and That Designer Series Paper (product #130814).  This pack of paper is fantastic for kids, it’s great for masculine cards and I love that paper as well.

IMG_9503

A couple of these cards use stamps sets you may not have seen before and that’s because they are from My Paper Pumpkin card kits.  If you don’t know anything about My Paper Pumpkin yet, I highly recommend you check it out at this link.

IMG_9505

One of the other stamps comes from the stamp set “You Rule” which was in the Spring catalog and unfortunately is no longer available, however, I do have this stamp set at my house and you are welcome to come use it at any time on the first Friday of every month at one of my project nights.  Click here to see my classes page. The last card uses a wonderful Happy Birthday stamp from           .

For a list of supplies used for these cards please email me.  For more information about card club, joining a stamp club or My Paper Pumpkin, I’m always available on email or by telephone to go over any of this with you.

There’s You

Posted on June 11, 2013 | Leave a comment

 This card was really fun to create because although it looks like I ran it through the Big Shot with the Embossing Folders a couple of times, I only did it once.  I ran it through with the Designer Series Oval Frame Embossing Folder and then I stuck it in the Simply Scored Tool with the Diagonal Plate insert a couple of times.  It was really quick and easy. It gave the card some extra dimension which I think it needed. I also used the new Simply Pressed Clay on this card as well as a cute little ribbon and some Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored in the greeting with different colored markers which you can see at the bottom of this post and layered it up.  Super fast and easy and I think it’s pretty cute.  What do you think? Let me know, I’d love to hear what your thoughts are on this.IMG_9509...

My Dad’s Masculine Birthday

Posted on May 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

This card was created for my Dad for his birthday last week.  I wanted something masculine looking and the Designer Paper- Parkers Patterns came to mind.  It’s kind of a rough and masculine looking card, but still heartfelt for my dear old Dad, dontcha think?  I had so much fun creating it.  This Paper Set is only available until Saturday, so if you were thinking about getting it, now is the time.  You can order this product through my online store here.  If you are adding it to an existing order, the product number is 131021.

IMG_9488I also used the “Perfectly Penned” stamp set with Staz On Black Ink for the sentiment, but any sentiment would do.Perfectly Penned - Clear-Mount Stamp Set - by Stampin' Up!

The paper is Tempting Turquoise and the brights buttons were adhered with Glue dots.  To finish it off, I used my Paper Piercer , Stamping Pad and Essentials Paper Piercing Pack, along with Linen Thread.Essentials Paper-Piercing PackPaper-Piercing Tool
