• Adhesives – SNAIL refills, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots, Sticky Strip, Fast Fuse, 2-Way Glue Pens.
• Stampin’ Trimmer Replacement Blades - I cut so much paper, I'm always needing these - nothing worse than needing a new blade when you have none! 
• Big Shot Cutting Plates - have you looked at yours lately, soon they start leaving snail lines on your good paper from all the cuts into the plates.
• 2013-2015 In Color products – they will be retiring soon, so get them while they’re still available - do you have re-fills for all of your current inks?

SHOP NOW

On Sunday I was experimenting with different backgrounds to go with this.  Which do you like best?

I stamped the Indescribable Gift flowers onto Vellum Cardstock with VersaMark and then sprinkled on our White Embossing Powder, heated it with our Heat Gun to set up the powder.  I then flipped it over and colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Write markers.

This first one is backed up with Smoky Slate:

This one is on Crisp Canteloupe:

This one on Baked Brown Sugar:

I know which one I like the best, but would love to hear from you and to hear why you think so. 

They are all colored with Crisp Canteloupe and Calypso Coral.

Thank you for looking in today.

Indescribable You

Isn't it great when a stamp set can be used for more than it was intended?  For example, this set, Indescribable Gift, is primarily an Easter set when used with the sentiments it comes with.  The flowers alone though are so beautiful and can be used for any style card you need.

Mother's Day will be here before we know it - this would be a great Mother's Day card or a lovely birthday card for a special friend.  Here I've chosen a stamp from Chalk Talk so that this card could really be given as any kind of a card.

With Blendabilities no longer in production, it was time to go back to coloring with my Aqua Brush and ink squeezed into the top of my ink pad.  This is such a beautiful look and keeps the flowers with a soft look.

Recipe:

Base - Crisp Canteloupe - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Layer - Crisp Canteloupe - 5 1/4" x 4"
2013-2015 Backgrounds Designer Series Paper (Crisp Canteloupe) 5 1/4" x 2"
Watercolor Paper - 3 1/2" x 3 1/4"
Black StazOn Ink
Crisp Canteloupe and Calypso Coral ink blended with Aqua Brush
Wild Wasabi for the leaves
Soft Suede for the branches

Have a Blessed Easter!

Thank you for looking in today ~

A Tisket, A Tasket...

I wanted to give a little something cute to my boss for Easter and decided I wanted to make her one of our cute Berry Baskets.  I wanted it to be a little stronger than just with card stock so I checked out our Clearance Rack and found that Under The Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper is still available there for $5.19 - quick go grab some!

The Under the Tree DSP is extra heavy for making boxes and is perfect for making these cute Berry (aka Easter) Baskets.  I cut out the DSP and some of our pretty papers from Sale-a-Bration - Cut two of each using the Berry Basket Bigz Die.

 

At first I glued the pretty DSP to the entire piece of cardstock DSP and found it didn't fold and line up very well.  So on my second attempt (the one shown in this post) I only glued the bottom of each section together and then glued the two together but didn't use glue any where else.

 

 



After putting the basket rim together, I stapled it to the top edges and they lined up perfectly.  When I glued them, they didn't line up well at all. 

I made a bow with the Bow Builder Punch, using the leftover DSP and added it to a doily that I folded over the edge.

It's empty for now, but on the way to work tomorrow - after my dreaded blood draw - ugh! I plan to stop and find something cute to put inside.

Thank you for looking in today.  If you are traveling for the Easter weekend, please be safe and remember the real meaning of this special holiday.

Happy Easter Weekend!

Disco Bunny

I hope you aren't tired of my favorite bunny yet!  Especially not before you see this one!  This has to be my absolute favorite by far!

I saw the idea on Pinterest, by Michelle Zindorf, but made a few changes to make it mine.  Enjoy!

Recipe:

• Base - Basic Black - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Smoky Slate 5 1/4" x 4"
• DSP - 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
• Whisper White 5 1/4" x 2 3/4"
• Basic Black - 4" x 2 5/8" - punch across the top with Confetti Stars Border Punch - then stamp with Whisper White Craft ink or you could use Silver Metallic Encore Ink using the small speckle from Gorgeous Grunge
• Crumb Cake - 2 5/8" x 1 1/8" - stamp with Soft Suede (or your favorite color) using Hardwood background stamp
• Silver Glimmer - 2 5/8' x 1 1/8" - to go behind the stars
• Silver Glimmer - punch with 1" Circle Punch

REMEMBER:  Do the Gorgeous Grunge stamping before you attach the "glimmer ball" (speaking from experience here... lol)

Attach the Glimmer piece behind the stars.  I used scotch tape to hold it in place so it wouldn't wiggle.  Use a 2" piece of 1/8" Silver Ribbon and glue dots to attach the ribbon to the back of the card and Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the "glimmer ball" to the front.

The hardest part of this card (especially in multiples like I did for our weSTAMP Team Swap!) is cutting out the bunny!  There were a couple of arm and ear amputations... :(  I felt terrible!

The colors on the bunny were Pink Pirouette on his tummy and Crisp Canteloupe for is bow.  I added a Calypso Coral pom-pom from the Occasions Catalog - YES - THIS CATALOG IS GOOD UNTIL JUNE 2nd - only the small Sale-a-bration flyer/catalog is no longer active.

I hope you enjoy this dancing little bunny as much as I do. 

Thank you for stopping by today!  Remember, if you are reading this in an email, be sure to go to the link at the bottom of the email that will take you to my blog so you can see the supplies used.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Easter Bunny

Did you score big during Sale-a-bration and get all the freebies you wanted? I sure hope so!  I know I did and more!  So much fun - I think Sale-a-bration is the best sales time of the year!

April is here and Easter is this weekend.  I simply can't believe it.  I'm fairly sure we just celebrated Christmas!

Here are some Easter Cards I made for my boss to send to her Daughter, Grandchildren and a friend.  I'm really happy with how they turned out - notice the entire bunny stamp is here?  Yup, I didn't cut the bunny out for a couple of these. 

They were so easy to color with our Stampin' Write Markers.  I simply outlined the vines with Pear Pizzazz and carefully colored in the eggs with the fine point tip of the Markers.

The ribbon and DSP are from Sale-a-Bration.  If you have it, use it!  I love it!!

 

Ooops - Bunny is on his own again!  I just LOVE this bunny!!

 

 

 

 

Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Hump Day!
