It's gonna get WILD around here!

Hello Stampers!

I have a cute baby card project to share with you today.

It's a mixed project using Stampin' Up card stock and materials along with CTMH Wild Wonders Occasions stamp set, (retired). Giraffe is stamped in Tangerine Tango.

I have always enjoyed this stamp set so I wanted to share it with you.  I used Soft Sky and Whisper White with DSP Soft Sky from the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

If you have any questions or would like more information about how to join my team call me today.  I would love to have you on my team!

See what I've been up to!

Hello Stampers!
Gosh last week just flew by!  I started off with making some fun Teacher Appreciation projects but I never got all them posted.  I am also working on some fun graduation hand outs for my nephew's graduation.
I will share them this week!!
Today I will do a catch up of my teacher's appreciation projects!

I made simple pockets to hold gift cards for our local coffee place.

If you get a paper gift certificate and it does not have a cover for it you can simply use some DSP, measure the GC and add 1/2" for adhesive.  That's it!  How simple is that?  Then add some fun embellishments and you have a fun gift card/certificate holder!

Have you checked out the clearance rack or the items that will be leaving Stampin' Up! for good?  You can see them both on my online store!!CLICK HERE FOR ONLINE STORE!

Thank you for joining me today!
Have a great week!

Happy Teacher's Appreciation Day!

Hello Stampers!
I want to wish a great big...HAPPY DAY for Happy Teacher's Appreciation day to all the teachers out there!

Here is my project share for today, I liked the pattern from the Mother's Day card so much I thought I would use it for a teacher's card as well and just change up the colors.  

The sentiment is from CTMH and the materials are from Stampin' Up!

Thank you for joining me today!
Don't forget to check out all the clearance items AND retiring products!

Have a great day!!

 

Stamp-a-Stack ~Friendship cards

Hi my crafty friends!
I hope you had a lovely Labor day weekend.  Ours was spent enjoying time with family and friends.  I wish it would have been longer than just a short three day weekend!  Every minute was a joy though.  

Here is my project I would like to share with you today!

I love making cards that I can just grab for a friend who needs a little lift-me-up or just a note to let them know I am thinking of them.  This design is simple enough to 'stamp-a-stack' in no time!  Plus you can use several different sentiments to suit your situation needed. 

Items I used: (SU)
Card Stock: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Watermelon Wonder
Stamp Set: Flower Shop, and a retired set from CTMH
Accessories: Candy Dots, Brights Collection

Thank you so much for joining me today!
Hope you have a great day.

Cricut -Owl Miss you card

Hi Stampers!
Here is my project for today!  Every now and then I like to try a new project with the Cricut.  I got very adventurous and made this one.  Ha-ha  To me it was a lot of detailed work, but to some of you it might just be a 'walk in the park'.   I made this one as a back to school card for my youngest daughter.  I like to stick notes in my kid's bags to find through out the day. 

The card is made using the CTMH Cricut cartridge Artfully Sent. 
The Card stock I used is from Stampin' Up.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Hope you have a great day!!

Youth Camp, Secret Sister Cards~by Cheryl

Hi Stampers!
Here is some fun little cards I made for my daughter's secret sister at a camp she attended.  At Yellowstone Bible Camp (outside Pray, MT) the girls get to pick out Secret Sisters.  They have so much fun building each other up with positive notes and little gifts during the week. 

The Stamps and card stock are from both Stampin' Up! and CTMH.

One more Graduation card!

Hi stampers!
Wow, I can't believe it, we managed to receive another graduation card!  I thought I made enough, but I was surely mistaken.  This card is a bit of a 'MIX UP' card.  I used Stampin' Up! products along with CTMH. 
The paper is all from Stampin' Up!, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Whisper White.  Along with Black Stazon ink. 

I wanted to pass on a little bit of information I leaned at the Post Office today when I went to mail this card.  When you use the Dimensionals on your card to add a little dimensions, you will need to pay an extra 21 cents to mail the envelope.  They have to hand stamp.  I originally had it weighed because of the layers, but that was fine it was just the fact that I used 'pop ups' as she called them.  I don't know if it's like this all over or just in Montana.  ha-ha  Which would not surprise me. 

Anyway, hope you have a great day!! 
Happy Stamping!!

Teacher's Appreciation~gift card holder

Hi Stampers!
Here is another Teacher's Appreciation project.  A simple gift card holder using the Gift Card Envelope Thinlits Die from Stampin' Up!

I was not sure how this would work, but it's so easy to make! 

You just place a piece of card stock on your Big Shot platform, I like to use my Magnetic Platform from Stampin' Up! so it don't scoot around.  After running it through the machine it has already scored all your fold marks and you can simply fold it up and use either Fast Fuse or Glue Dots to stick together. 
The stamp set I used is from CTMH, I just love this stamp set!  (I am sure you can't tell  LOL) 
Card Stock, Whisper White, Night of Navy and DSP Night of Navy in the Regals collection from Stampin' Up!
Ink also from Stampin' Up!, in Real Red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Black Stazon.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great Friday!

Teacher Appreciation Week!

Hi Stampers!
This week is Teacher's Appreciation and my children love to give gifts to their teachers.

Here is one of the items my kids came up with.  Seems like both of my children that are still in elementary said their teachers needed supplies.  Plus, my son is a chocolate hound so we had to add a pure chocolate Hershey bar! 

The tag is stamped using Stampin' Up! Real Read, Pacific point, and Old Olive, inks using a sponge dauber I used Real Red. 
The Stamp set is from CTMH.

Friday's Mixed project! Birthday card~

Hi Stampers!
I wanted to share another fun 'mixed project'.  I used Stampin' Up! and CTMH products. 

Card Recipe:
The card stock is all from Stampin' Up! Old Olive, Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White, Basic Black and Smoky Slate.  

The Birthday sentiment is retired from Stampin' Up! The pickup truck is from CTMH.

I colored it with Stampin' Write markers, Old Olive, Basic Black and stamped in Black Stazon.

The grill on the pickup I put Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle. Then popped it up on Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed today's mixed project!  :)  I love doing crafts so much I don't care which company or store sells them, if they look good together....I am going to use it.  LOL

It's about to get wild around here! Baby card~

Hi Stampers!
What a beautiful day it is here today!  It makes it really had to stay inside while it's no 'springy' outside!  Luckily, It's nap time for my little guy and I thought I would get some cards done.  :)

The cards I am sharing with you today are from a stamp set from CTMH, it's so stinkin' cute!   The paper, Whisper White and Pistachio Pudding is from Stampin' Up!

I know about 6 people who are going to welcome a new little life into their home soon so I thought I had better get busy with baby cards.  :)  I said new life because not all of them are going to be 'human' babies!  I have a friend who's dog is getting ready to have puppies for the 1st time and I am not sure who is more nervous. But, it's cute so I thought I would send her a card too along with a doggy bowl full of puppy toys.

Thanks for stopping by!

21st Birthday Pop-Up Box Card!

Hi my crafty friends!
The project I am sharing today was made special for my niece who turns 21 years old today!  It's hard to believe this 'little' girl has grown up so fast! 

There are several instructions to follow to make this card, but I found using the tutorial on SPLIT COAST STAMPERS was the simplest. I used the size for an A2 card. 
The stamps used are a variety from Stampin' Up and CTMH.  I also used the Cricut.  All the paper was from Stampin' Up.  Pacific Point, Whisper white, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, and DSP Sweet Taffy

The Stamp set from Stampin' Up that is still available is called Banner Banter.
Accessories: Snail adhesive, 2 Way Glue, Silver Glimmer Paper, Acetate sheets, Candy Dots, in Brights collection.

Teacher's Tags

Hi my crafty friends!
I wanted to share some little tags I made, I just love the way these turned out!  I got the tags from CTMH, along with the Stamp Set.  I know Teacher's appreciation is coming up soon so I wanted to get a head start on making some tags for the kids' baskets, they always love to make for their teachers.  The ink I used is from Stampin' Up, Real Red, Pacific Point, Garden Green.

Last year they made great big popcorn tubs full of school supplies and of course chocolate!  Their teachers loved them!
I am not what my kids will come up with this year, but I am sure it will be wonderful!

Love Bug! Cricut card~

Hi my crafty friends!
Here is a cute little card I made, and I hope it has reached her house by now for my niece.  We both share a love of VW Bugs and when I seen this cute image in the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge I had to make it for her. 
Her 1st car was my old VW Bug, by the time she was able to drive my family had totally outgrown it.  So I thought selling it to her would be the next best thing. 

*Just incase you don't know, Stampin' Up does not sale any products for the Cricut,  I got this from CTMH.  It's a fun cartridge and I got it for Christmas and wow, I have a lot to learn about it!  I hope to share other crafts from there. 

Have a great day!

Card Stock: Whisper White and Bermuda Bay, Basic Black
Stamp set:   from CTMH called Words of Comfort.
