Welcome Frame

A teacher at school got married last weekend and I made this welcome frame for her, for her new home. I won't go into much detail as it has a combination of retired and current Stampin' Up! elements but these frames are fun and easy to do and are great gifts for just about anyone or a fun project for yourself. I also want to shout out a "Thank You" to Lori who made it possible for me to complete this project (supplied me with the frame)

Big Shot-Petal Card Hanging Pounch

I finally downloaded my camera with previous projects that were on there.

This is a hanging pouch that I made for teachers and staff at school and church that I just wanted to wish a Happy Valentine's Day to.

This hanging pouch is made using the Stampin' Up! Big Shot and the Petal Card Die (pg. 197 in the new Spring and Summer Idea Book and Catalog!

This little pouch is so incredibly quick and easy to put together:

Using your Big Shot, cut two of the Petal Cards. Fold up just two of the petals which will then form a heart shape. The two folded petals help to form the bottom of the pouch. Then, you cut a strip of cardstock 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" (the width can be made bigger if you'd like to put more in your pouch) Crease the bottom strip in half (at 2 3/4") and attach the strip to the folded petals to make your bottom of the pounch. I used Jumbo Eyelets and 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon for the handle. I used the Candy Lane DSP and the two new heart punches, Full Heart and Heart to Heart to decorate the outside.

Stampin' Up! Order

I had to take this picture of a recent order that came from the new Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog. I got a lot of new and fun items to play with. I have started playing with some of them and can't wait to show you those projects and also how to use some of these new products (can you say new Big Shot toys and punches) Not only did I get the stuff I ordered but I took advantage of Sale-a-bration and received a few FREE stamp sets.

Don't forget you too can take advantage of SAB.

Heart to Heart

This is another Valentine's card that we did at a recent class. I still am not sure what I think about it, it was easy to produce but it just feels like it was missing something. I LOVE the new Heart to Heart punch though and love that you can get it across a card 3 times!

Love You Much

A quick valentine.

Made this card with customers during the Love You Much promotion. This uses the new stamp set..Love You Much, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, and Pretty in Pink card stocks, the new Candy Lane DSP and Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon. To bring a bit of color to the word "love" I used the Aqua Painter and dragged the stamped color into the word. I also used one of the flowers from the Trio Flower Punch attached with a silver brad to add dimension.

Sweetest Stems

I am LOVING all of the new Big Shot Dies that are now available. This card uses one of the new embosslits. Sweetest Stems to be exact. What is awesome is the new Designer Series Paper Raspberry Tart that coordinates perfectly with this embosslit. I chose to do a tone on tone color in Kiwi Kiss for this card, very elegant. One thing I did change after I made this one, for my customers to make, was to change the white punched scalloped edge to Pretty in Pink. We liked that combination so much better, the colors complimented each other more.

Elegant Thank You
