Shower door prize

I made this set for my sisters lingerie shower as a door prize for one of the games we played.

Included is a set of 12 cards, a matching pen and mini post-it note keychain. I made the matching bag for it as well.

I used the stamp set For a Friend and made 2 cards with each stamp which gave the winner a great variety. I used Papertrey Ink white paper and ran it through my cuttlebug and nestibilities. Then I ran the patterned paper from Afternoon Tea to make a rectangle smaller. After that I ran whisper white through on a smaller rectangle and stamped it with stazon. I did use a little bit of stickles to give some sparkle.

Pretty simple but just enough. :)

You are the best dad!!

I know it's late tonight (hence all the spelling errors I had to come fix the next morning) ;) and Fathers day is a few days away but I wanted to go ahead and post my dads card.

I know it seems wierd to have used the Afternoon Tea Designer paper for my fathers card but it just seemed to fit and I liked it. Plus I've been just dying to use it! :)
I used Wild Wasabi for the cardbase and Afternoon Tea DP for the background. I cut it just a little bit smaller than the card base just to cover most of it. I stamped the image with Stazon and watercolored it with Stampin' Up markers and aquapainter then I cut out the image then popped it up with dimensionals. The photo corners are chipboard covered with Afternoon Tea DP and filed on the edges to give it a worn look. Silver brads finish off the look.

Recipe:
CS: Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, watercolor paper, Afternoon Tea DSP
Ink: Stazon, Various markers
Stamps: For Father, So many sayings
Accessories: Brads, Dimensionals

Look away big sis!!

Marcie don't look!! :)


These are for my sister to use as she wishes. She is getting married in a month and so I know she'll need thank you notes and such. I do realize that 10 notecards won't get her very far but she can use them for some of or favorite people, like me... ;)

I used Papertrey white paper for the base since its thicker. The embosed rectangle is the largest of the large nestibilitie scalloped edge rectangle set. The smaller rectangle, river rock, is cut out using the next size down nestie and it is also embossed.

I got the nestibilitie instructions here: Nichole Heady

I stamped the flower and the round flower from Together Forever with whisper white craft ink. The E is from Lovely Letters and is stamped in Bashful Blue on whisper white paper. I punched it out with a 1 1/4" circle punch and punched out a Bashful Blue circle in 1 3/8" circle punch. They are popped up with dimensionals.

I'm giving her a mixture of both styles but I can't decide which I like best.

Give me your thoughts! :)

In case you were wondering

In case you were wondering why I haven't posted in a while.... THIS is why.. In case you can't tell, my stamp room is a WRECK and I have no space to stamp! I'll probably work on cleaning it up this weekend and hopefully have something to show by the end of the weekend. :)

Mini scrappin

At my last hostess club with my upline we made these cute little scrapbooks using the white lunch sacks and a retired scrapbook kit of hers. She just let us go at it and didn't give us layouts or anything, just let our imagination soar! :)

This little scrapbook was just too much fun to make and I really want to make another one some day.

Apples and sunshine

I just LOVE this stamp set!!! It's called "For Father" from Stampin' Up! I used my Stampin' Up! markers and an aqua painter and water colored on water color paper. I then cut out the image. The card base is River rock. I cut the blue bayou a quarter of an inch smaller than the card base and ran it through my cuttle bug with the dots background. I used my cricut for my circles but that could easily be recreated with a coluzzle or other circle cutting device. The large river rock circle is 3 1/2" and the smaller soft sky textured cardstock is 3". The image is popped up with dimensionals. I roughed up the edges of both circles and sponged with coordinating ink. River rock for the river rock card stock and blue bayou on the soft sky card stock. I used night of navy for the dots on the river rock circle and a white gel pen for the dots on the soft sky circle.

I stamped 'Your Day' from Celebrate Everything on river rock CS with Blue Bayou and punched that out with my 1" square punch. Using the square frame from the hodgepodge hardware in the occasions mini catalog I wrapped twine around the blue bayou and tied. I did use glue dots to keep it in place.

That about covers it. :)

A pear for you.

This stamp set is from the hostess section, level II from Stampin' Up! I chose this one because I already have the other one and I wasn't really sure about it but I think I'll like it. :) I stamped the pear in versermark and then in chocolate chip and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I masked two pears behind it and embossed those as well. This was done on SU! watercolor paper. I watercolored with the SU! markers and an auqua painter. I used apricot appeal and more mustard. I cut out the 3 pears and embossed the entire full pear by itself. I used very vanilla and stamped the three pears the same way and colored it in with apricot appeal solid. I used one thickness of stampin' up! dimensional under the 2 side pears and two thickness for the middle pear.

I used more mustard and chocolate chip to mat the pears. I popped up the more mustard from the chocolate chip with dimensionals. I used chocolate chip and stamped the leaves randomly on apricot appeal. i wrapped the chocolate chip 5/8" grossgrain ribbon around the whole thing and thread it through the two slots I made and tied it.

Pretty simple but I like how it turned out. :)
