Cute Card Idea for Using Up Paper Scraps
I don’t know about you but last week was crazy busy for me! I had 2 classes, a craft fair, Halloween events, and the usual everyday life stuff (if you are curious to see some of what I’ve been working on, I’ve been posting pictures up on my Facebook page here). It was one of…
Colorful Flower using the Mosaic Punch & Pressed Clay
Ok, I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sold on the Pressed Clay when Stampin’ Up! announced it’s release during the demonstrator preorder in advance of the new Annual Catalog launch. I kept hearing people get all excited about it but I didn’t order it because I couldn’t see myself actually using it. Wanna know what just…
Adorable Easter Class Projects, Punch Art, & a Blog Hop!
It’s the first Thursday of the month and that means the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop. I lucked out because this month the theme is Easter/Spring and I just so happen to have my Everything Easter class coming up this weekend on Sunday! So I thought I would share some of the projects we’ll be…
Wise Men Punch Art Christmas Card
I love Punch Art cards and I’m always amazed at what people come up with when creating punch art…. so I was blown away when I was at convention this last summer and someone had come up with a 3 Wise Men card using punches! How unique is this?! card created by Ingrid Rosario I…
Snowman Snowglobe Holiday Card
My son keeps telling me that it isn’t wintertime because there is no snow. Apparently to his 2 – going on 3- year old view of the world: fall = leaves fall off the trees and winter = snow. That a pretty close approximation! Unfortunately we don’t get too much snow up here in Seattle. …
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a Special for You!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hopefully today finds you in your finest green attire; even if that just means green inky fingers! 🙂 It’s a day that I mostly get to celebrate these days by digging some green out of my closet and remembering to listen to some great Irish music…or at least Irish singers. Has…
It’s All About The Cupcake!
Happy Saturday, everyone! If you are a fan of my Facebook page, you’ve already seen today’s card; but I had so much fun making it that I wanted to make sure I shared it with my blog readers too. (And it just makes me happy to look at so I’m having fun writing up this…
Fun with Pennant Parade and the New Pennant Punch!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE stamp sets that go with punches. See I love my punches (you can never have enough punches), but when you can stamp cute images in different colors and textures and then can punch them out instead of cutting them out by hand – Brilliant! That is why…
A White Only Card– LNS Challenge 131
Whew! Nothing like a deadline to get me to hurry up and post a card I made this week for a challenge the the Late Night Stampers yahoo group. Each week they post some kind of project challenge, and this week sounded really interesting: Challenge 131: Only use white in your project except you can…
Fun and Creative Convention Swap Cards
I am always so amazed and inspired by the swap cards I get at convention. From the cards that make you go “WOW!” to the cards that are so simple to make that I realize you don’t have to go over the top to make a striking card. I started taking pictures of some of…
Fishy Best Wishes to You!
Thursday night I held my first event with my new Bellevue/Redmond Card Makers meetup group. We had a small group but it was fun to meet some local gals and great to have the forced motivation to get my craft room unpacked! I’ll admit it, I didn’t get the craft supply boxes opened until that…
