Have you seen the new Hearts Collection Framelits in the Occasions Mini Catalog?? Using your Big Shot and the Framelits Dies, you can make up to 6 different shaped hearts!! I used the Framelits to make my large red die. Then I used my Full Heart punch for the heart that says friend. I used the Heart to Heart Stampin’ Up! punch for my smaller hearts. Did you notice the hearts at the bottom of the card? I used one of our new Adorning Accents Embossing Folders. You receive three in the package. The stamp set I used is called I (Heart) Hearts.
Have a terrific day and thank you for stopping by!

Here’s another card I made using the new Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set found in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. I really love this stamp set and punch. There are so many different ways to use it! If you saw my lollipop holders a few weeks ago, you’ll notice that I made my card using one of those designs. My colors are Concord Crush and Rose Red. Love the combination!

I hope you are having a nice long weekend! I love it when I have a three day weekend, especially after the long week I had teaching my second graders this week! This was our first week back from our Winter vacation and it is always hard to get back into a regular schedule. I imagine the kids were pretty tired too!
Today my card uses the new Blossom punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set. I really do love this stamp set. I used both of these new products on my Lollipop holders that I showed yesterday. I have also used our new 3/8 inch Pleated Satin Ribbon. It is a beautiful ribbon and comes in four colors. My card uses Blushing Bride but it also comes in Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze. The colors that I’ve used are not ones that I normally would use (Blushing Bride and Perfect Plum) but I was happy with the results. I used a little bit of Pear Pizzazz for the center of my flowers and popped them up with a dimensional.
As always, I appreciate that you have stopped by! Take Care!

Today I have some lollipop holders that I made for my Club members this week. I bought some See’s lollipops to place inside. This inspiration for this project comes from Jody Johannsen.
I used quite a few NEW products from the Occasions Mini Catalog! I had fun using my new crafting supplies! I used the new Blossom punch along with Mixed Bunch which is a new stamp set that coordinates with the punch. I used our new Large Pearls and the Twitterpated buttons. My hearts were made with the new Framelits Dies that are used with the Big Shot. The hearts are graduated – I used the three smallest ones (there are six altogether).

Today I have another card using the Lattice Die. This time I used Spice Cake paper and Soft Suede cardstock. Yesterday I ran my DSP and Lattice piece through an embossing folder in the Big Shot. I didn’t do it with card but kind of wish I had. It adds a bit more texture. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I had fun today! I was able to work on several cards and play around in my craft room. My craft room is actually one wall of my bedroom but I still like to call it my craft room. This card was inspired by one I saw on Andrea Walford’s Paper Crafters Library website. I used the Lattice Die with my Big Shot to create the center section. My paper (Holly Berry Bouquet DSP) will be gone in a few days! It can be found in the Holiday Mini and you can only purchase it until January 3rd. I made another one with paper from the Spice Cake collection, which will also be gone next week and I’ll post it tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by! If you would like to place an order before this paper goes away, you can go to my SU! website or email me!

Here is a card my Hostess Club members made last month. I used several items from the Holiday Mini to make it: Mica flakes, Snow Burst Embossing folder, and Shaker Frames. There are so many fun items in the Holiday Mini! I hope to try out some other items that I bought and post some cards later this week. The stamp set is called Polar Party. I used Staz-on and then colored him in with my colored pencils and blender pen.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

It has been so long since I’ve posted and I’ve missed it. I hope to be back posting on a more regular basis.
My project today are some sour cream containers that I made tonight for my Hostess Club group. I put a little thank you inside for each of them to thank them for their recent order. They are really very easy to make and I think they turned out cute!
Thank you for visiting! I will have some more projects posted in the next few days.

You could definitely say I am thinking about candy these days and how to incorporate it into my projects. It must be because Halloween is not too far away!
I’ve made a purse like today’s project before but it was much larger and I put 3×3 cards in it . You can see it HERE. I changed the measurements up a bit so that it could hold a small piece of candy instead. I tried making it with different paper but then decided to make my own DSP again although this time I used different colors: Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Cajun Craze. Normally I would have used Old Olive but I checked my Color Coach and it recommended Pear Pizzazz. I used my Big Shot (of course) and the Scallop Circle #2 die as well as my Perfect Dots embossing folder. My purse strap is used with Peach Parfait 1/2 inch Stitched-Poly Ribbon. I will be making more of these with some different colors and will post them soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

This little purse is the perfect size for two pieces of candy. It could be given to someone to brighten their day or it would be a cute shower favor. The idea for this purse was inspired by a project I saw on Stamping School.com but I changed it up a little bit to make it my own. You can see the candy in the picture below.
The paper I used on the front of my purse and to wrap around the candy is Paisley Petals. Instead of putting paper on the lower half of the purse, I chose to use my Big Shot and emboss the paper. I don’t know if you can see it, but on the front of the purse there’s a little Old Olive brad to simulate a snap on the purse. I used velcro to close the purse shut and used our new Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade for my strap.
Have a great day!
Paper: Paisley Petals, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, and Very Vanilla cardstock
Ink: Cajun Craze
Stamps: You’re a Gem
Accessories: Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Big Shot, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder, Brights Brads, Velcro
