Iridescent Ice Dasher

I am using embossing techniques for my club this month and one way to use embossing powder is to highlight an area to make it shine. I versamarked the cardstock after I stamped Dasher in Mellow Moss ink. Then I covered the entire piece of cardstock with Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heat set it. The small snowflake at the top is made to shine by using the versamark pen to just parts of the snowflake and then adding the embossing powder and heat setting it. Thanks for stopping by…..

Emboss Resist Snowflakes

Trying out the emboss resist technique for my club project. It is very simple. All you need to do is versamark the snowflakes on the whisper white cardstock and the emboss it with any color powder. I used clear since I wanted the white to show through for the flakes. Then you simply add another color over the top of the embossing powder. I used a sponge loading with Brocade Blue and sponged all over it and then used a tissue to remove the ink from the embossed areas.

Sweet Centers Lollipop

Love, love , love this stamp set. I made these for my daughters Halloween party at school. They were super simple to put together. I used Crushed Curry cardstock and Rich Razzleberry ink. I punched out the center with the large oval punch and glued it inside the card so that when the lollipop was gone there was a surprise inside. A simple staple is all I used to hold it together.

I also made yummy ghosts. They are made out of nutter butter cookies and vanilla frosting. I put mini chocolate chips in the frosting for the eyes. They were both a hit with her classmates.

Fancy Favor Thanksgiving box

Isn't this the cutest box ever? Well it will be until I create another one next month...

This is a big xl die exclusive to Stampin' Up! called Fancy Favor. we first cut it out with the big shot and then wheeled the Bright Blessings along the bottom edge with Bravo Burgundy. The ribbon at the top is also Bravo Burgundy with a little piece of Certainly Celery tied around it.

The little acorn is a stamp from Falling Leaves. We punched it out with the small tag punch and then layered it with the large tag punch with Certainly Celery cardstockand tied it to the other ribbons with the silver cord.

The best part is the tootsie rolls that we filled it up with!!

A Flurry of Leaves

I think Fall is my favorite time of year!! I love the changing of the leaves and the warm colors that they inspire. I made this with my club in October. We used the shimmer paint for the leaves punched out at the bottom of the page, they are from the stamp set called Falling Leaves. The die cut leaves we used the Big Shot on with the Designer Series paper, Razzleberry Lemonade. The cardstock colors are the in colors: Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Dusty Durango. The ribbon slide is from the Hodgepodge Hardware. And lastly, the stamp set that I used the “Give Thanks” is from a hostess set called Holiday Best.

Shimmery Medallion

The card we made this month at my club was this shimmery medallion. The shimmer paint is so easy to use and looks really cool on the Always Artichoke cardstock.

After we stamped the Medallion we used Basic Brown to stamp the center of the medallion and punched it out with the large circle punch and then layered it with dimensionals. The rhinestone brad in the center finished it off.

Mini catalog Goodies

This is one of the new stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog that we can now order from. It is called Sweet Treats. The card is also a new in color called Dusty Durango, a perfect color for Halloween. The treat cup is also available in the mini cattie. They are a really cute way to give the gift of chocolate. The green is called Old Olive.

The inside of the card is a case (copy and share with everyone) from a great blog called craftdoc. She has some neat ideas on her blog!

The design is so the card won’t be ripped apart when someone tries to get out the candy. The Basic Black cardstock is slipped under another piece of cardstock and it hides the opening of the treat cup so the candy can be poured out easily, it can also be refilled to regift it wanted.

This is the scrapbook page my stamp club will be making this month. The Perfect Plum cardstock is put on a piece of

8 1/2x11 Basic Black. I cut a strip of the designer series paper (dsp) called Cast-a –Spell and glued it down on the left side of the page.

The little skeleton with the doggie having him for a snack is a stamp set in the mini called Twick or Tweet. I sponged a little Pumpkin Pie ink around the skeleton to soften it up a little. The green dsp is also from Cast-a Spell. I finished it off with a couple of More Mustard brads. Love it!!

And the final project for my club is an adorable little box called a pillow box. This is made using a die from Stampin’ Up! called a Pillow Box die. Who would of guessed. The stamp set is called Pumpkin Patch and it is really cute and easy to use.

I will find some little goodie to put inside .

Thank you for checking all of this out, please leave me a comment or two and let me know what you think!!

Amanda’s Birthday Bash

I finally made a banner from the pennant die !!!

It was my daughter’s birthday and I wanted her to have a cool banner for her party. Her colors were purple, white and silver. I used whisper white, plum and cottage wall dsp. I used the sticky cuts letters and spelled her name out using the silver glitter. And to add some more bling… I used the ice rhinestone brads to top it off. I figured out how to hang it using the silver cord and it turned out pretty cute. She loved it!!! So of course I had to make her a card to match…………… Yes it is upside down, we did not notice until now; but oh well, what can you do?

I hope you get the idea. And she was so excited to get her first official stamp set of her own!! It was on my wish list so I guess now I will have to borrow it from her!!

Get Well Cards for a Friend

These are some cards I made for my husband to have signed and give to a coworker who had a grandparent pass away.

Scallop Envie box

This is the final project for my club. We are going to use the scallop envelope to make this box. I originally saw this idea on Dannie's Designs blog. She is very talented!!

We are using the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series paper as well as in colors called Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo. And to finish it off we will put a rhinestone brad in the center of the Circle Circus stamp.

We will fill it with some candy (after I get it at the store tonight) and possibly use it for a teacher gift on the first day of school.

Rich Razzleberry Page

I am loving this new in color from Stampin' Up! It is called Rich Razzleberry. I think it is my favorite of all the new in colors, I am sure once I use more of the others that may change.

This is the page my club members will be making this month. I used the Big Shot for the scalloped envelope and the flower strip along the edge. Super fast and super simple!! It is hard to tell in the picture but I used the Cottage Wall DSP for the flower strip. The colors of the page are Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla and Rich Razzleberry.

The stamp set I used is called Best Wishes and More.

Now I just need to start prepping all of the cardstock for club night.

C-ya

I scream..You Scream..We All scream..

This card just makes me hunger for some neopolitan ice cream!!! I found this idea from chicnscratch's blog and thought how perfect it would be for my first club meeting this month. It is very easy to put together, the hardest part was deciding which "flavors" to pick.
I am focusing on the Big Shot for the club since I just recently bought one for myself. What a great and fun toy!! I used the Top Note die for the background. The cardstock is from the Cottage Wall Designer Series paper. (my favorite one so far). I then just used the scallop to punch out the scoops and sponged the edges a little. The scoops are popped up with dimensionals.
I used the Texturz Plates (Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1) f0r the waffle effect on the cone.
Thank you Angie Juda (chicnscratch) for a great idea!!

Stamp Club Invite.... Friendly Words

I am starting up my Stampin' Up! club again this month and I thought as a gift to my past and hopefully future members I would send them a card I made for them with the contract and a business card. I left the card blank inside so they could add their own sentiment and reuse it for their own gift giving. This is what I came up with... hope they like it!!!!!

I used the Friendly Words jumbo wheel and the punch is called Heart to Heart. I used Pretty in Pink for the cardstock and the ink. The base of the card is Always Artichoke.

Thanks for looking....

Definitely Decorative Crown

My friend owns a dance studio here in my town and she has a class for little ones with a princess theme. She also lets me do some of my classes at her studio. I wanted to thank her so this is what I made for her..................................

I used the new Razzleberry textured cardstock and the crown from the Definitely Decorative catalog.


I made the princess, castle and dragon with my cricut.

Aren't they adorable?!?!










Thanks for stopping by!!!!!

Kind Thoughts

Time for another challenge and this card completes two challenges. The first one is a color challenge from kwerner and the second one is a card sketch challenge from splitcoaststampers.
I used the new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Kind Thoughts (a level 3 set) and the sentiment is from Trendy Trees.

The colors are Basic Grey, More Mustard, Real Rust and Very Vanilla Please ignore the date on the card, I can not figure out how to take it off and I did not notice it when I took the picture.
