Here’s a fun card my stampers made last week! Take a look at the pictures below and you’ll see how it opens up. You could write a greeting on the pop up part or attach a gift card (try using glue dots). We used the Gift Bow Bigz Die which makes a very cute bow that could be used on a card, bag, or atop a gift box! Once I cut out the bow, I ran some of my pieces through an embossing folder.
My tag was made with a new stamp set, Tag Talk, and punched out with the Bracket Label punch which happens to be one of the Weekly Deals! The Coastal Cabana paper I used is from the In Color 2013-2015 Paper Stacks. I love the dotted paper and this color is just so pretty!
If you would like to see some tips and tricks for using the Gift Bow die, take a look at the video below. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! so that you can see the pens in action!

We made this cute little box at my event on Saturday morning! It uses the new Kraft cardstock which is much heavier than our regular Crumb Cake cardstock. Someone mentioned on Saturday that it would be a nice size for a cupcake and there would be room to spare on the sides!
There are several more new products used on my box. I used the Stars Decorative Mask, a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to create the stars. It is basically a stencil and you rub the color with the dauber over each of the stars on the mask. Super easy!
It is tied up with the yummy new 1 1/4″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler. Did you realize that one of our new punches is a 2 inch circle? I almost missed it in the catalog! I used it to punch out my greeting (Num Num stamp set) and with some Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered it to a Cherry Cobbler 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle.
The inspiration for this box came from fellow demo, Angie Juda!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Wow, these are great Weekly Deals!! If you have a Big Shot and have been wanting these accessories, now is the time!! I wasn’t even aware that we now have Smoky Slate embossing powder! That’s going on my next order and I think I will stock up on the buttons too!

I’ve been busy in my craft room and will be posting new projects soon! In the meantime, here’s a video that Stampin’ Up! has just released. You can learn how to make flowers with your fringe scissors and our filter paper. Enjoy and have a great day!

My card today uses a technique that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I created a watercolor look using my Stampin’ Write markers and a clear block! Isn’t it great when you have a product, like your clear block, that you can use in multiple ways??
The markers I used were Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana. You’ve seen me using the sentiments in the stamp set, Wetlands, but today I’ve not only used a sentiment in the set but the cute birds too!
Watch the video below to see how you can create this same effect!

Wetlands Wood #126695
Clear #126697

I got ink on my hands yesterday and played with the new stamp set, Work of Art. I just love the combination of greens and blues. On my card I used Garden Green, Wild Wasabi and Pacific Point. My sentiment is from the set Wetlands, which is not a new set but one of my favorites!

My goodness, it has been such a long time since my last post. I’ve been sick with the flu and it has taken me quite a long time to bounce back. I had more energy yesterday than I’ve had in weeks, and it felt good. I’ve missed being in my stamp room and hope to get in there today.
There’s so much going on in the Stampin’ Up! world!

Happy Monday! I hope all of you that are moms, had a great day yesterday and felt the love from your family! I was able to spend time with my mom so I was very happy about that! I wasn’t able to see my two daughters but they both made me feel very loved!
Today I have a cute 3D project for you – a mini milk carton! So quick and easy to put together . You could put some little treats inside for someone and make their day by that simple gesture!
We do have a Milk Carton Bigz die on the retired list but for this particular carton, you don’t need a die or the Big Shot. I decorated it using the DSP , Watercolor Wonder. For the sentiment, I stamped “just for you”, twice, using Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango. I cut a section out of the Tangerine Tango one and popped it up with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The cute little clothespin is from the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit which can be found in the big catalog on page 158 (this is a retiring item). I found this cute idea from Sam Donald, a fellow demo from the UK.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
