Wildflower Meadow Thank You

by | Aug 6, 2013 | Uncategorized

Hi Friends,
Yesterday I needed several thank you cards that I could easily mail (nice and flat) and this is one of the cards I came up with.  I used Wildflower Meadow and stamped it directly onto a piece of Pistachio Pudding DSP.  I love it on the dotted paper!  I attached a piece of Ruffled Stretch Trim across the DSP and snipped it off at both ends rather than wrapping it around to the backside.  It is adhered to a piece of Baked Brown Sugar.  This is not a color combination that I would normally use but my handy dandy Color Coach (#130118) recommended it!  Such a valuable tool for creating color combinations!
My sentiment is from the set Chalk Talk which I punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch and attached it  to a 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle.  I used my paper piercing tool and pierced a hole in each scallop!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Birthday Gift Card Holder

by | Aug 5, 2013 | Uncategorized

I love making gift card holders!  I made this about a month ago but never posted it.  You can see another one I posted HERE using the Birthday Basics DSP.

I used Bermuda Bay paper from the Brights DSP Stack.  I love these stacks of paper, especially the ones with dots.  I left the circle blank inside so that a sentiment could be written there.  As I am sitting her typing my post, I’ve been looking at the front of the card and thinking that I could have added more details to jazz it up.  I have to remind myself that it is okay to have a card front that isn’t super busy! 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Catalog Debuts Today

by | Aug 1, 2013 | Uncategorized

I posted earlier today that the Holiday Catalog is now live but in this post I’ve included some links to download the catalog to your computer or iPad plus a list of supplies needed to make the cute projects throughout the catalog.  
I think that one of my very favorite products are the Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I saw them at Convention and all I can say is, WOW!!  They are beautiful!!  I’ve even seen them made into earrings!  I can’t wait to make some cards with these beauties. 
Another favorite are these Envelope Liners! They fit three different Stampin’ Up! envelopes. Every card can come in a beautiful lined envelope!
Do you see the little red icon next to the picture?  That means that this product can be seen in action on your mobile device!  Here’s how it works:
Products come to life in the holiday catalog, thanks to a fun interactive app. 
To get started:
  1. Go to the App Store or Google Play and download and install the FREE Layar app to your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Scan images that are tagged with the Stampin’ Up! Interactive icon to unlock videos.
Supported devices:
The Layar app will work on
  • iPhone 3GS and higher and iPad 2 and higher; requires iOS 5.1 or higher
  • Android devices running v2.2 or later
Things to know:
  • Different mobile devices will work differently with the Layar app. Some are faster than others, some will take more steps to load the videos, etc.
  • You need to hold your mobile device far enough from the page that the image is completely in the device’s screen before the video will load.
  • Hold your device over the page until the video loads. Be patient-the video might take a while to load, depending on your device.
  • Most devices will start playing a video automatically, but some will have a play icon that you need to tap to start the video. And some won’t show a play icon but will still require you to tap the screen on your device to start the video. So if a video doesn’t start playing automatically, tap the play icon or screen of your device. (If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy phone, you’ll need to tap the box that appears on the screen to start the video.)
  • If you don’t want to hold your device over the page for the duration of the video, just tap the video and then pull it away from the page-the video will keep playing.

More Convention Swaps

by | Jul 30, 2013 | Uncategorized

Today is the first day of school in the area where I live.  I retired from teaching (the last grade I taught was second grade) a year ago and today marks the second, first day of school, that I’ve “missed.”  Yes, I do miss it but being able to visit my granddaughter whenever I want sure does make up for it. My friends have been busy getting their classrooms ready for their students.  It is only Tuesday but they are already exhausted because they’ve put so much into preparing everything to make sure that their rooms are inviting and welcoming and that the first day is fun for their students.  I’m thinking about all of them today!!!
As promised, here are more swaps that I received at Convention.
