Marriage is a Journey~

Hello Stampers!
I should have called this the week of the wedding cards!  ha-ha I am having fun creating these cards.  I end up going through so many of them so I am glad I am going to have several on hand.
I used Flourishing Phrases stamp set and Flourish Thinlits to create this beautiful card.  I wish I had better lighting when I took this picture.  I used Pool Party and Basic Black card stock, the two together are beautiful.
I cut the circles out with the 1 3/4" circle punch and 2" circle punch.
I attached the delicate black flowers with the Fin-Tip Glue Pen.  I must say, I am so happy Stampin' Up! offers this adhesive!  Love it!!

If you have any questions please let me know!
Thank you for joining me today!
Have a great weekend.

Spring Flower using the Window Box Thinlits

Hello Stampers!
I was going through my Framelits and Thinlits and I realized I have not used the beautiful Window Box Thinlits yet.  I love the top of the box design!
I used it to create this beautiful cut out in my Whisper White card stock.
To add the color behind it, I simply used Sponge Daubers and rubbed some Peakaboo Peach, Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum on a 3x3 piece of Thick Whisper White.
I popped it up on dimensionals and added a Pearl to the center.  Then I ask, what would a beautiful spring flower be without a butterfly on it?  I just had to add an Elegant Butterfly punched out in Flirty Flamingo.

So pretty!  I wasn't sure what I wanted to use this card as so I just left the sentiment off until I need it.  I am thinking, wedding, anniversary, encouragement...the list goes on!

Thank you for joining me today!

"406" Bookmarker Project~

Hello Stampers!

Can you believe this is the LAST week of Sale-a-Bration!  Plus, they added new items, AGAIN to the list of what you can get for FREE!  Stampin' Up! really does want to spoil their customers!
I want to share what I have been working for a local group who supports our local school.  These are book markers that go on the back side of a cloth marker made by the FACS high school class.
I used all the 'orange' and 'black' I had in stock.   They are the colors of our school. I went through my Stampin' Up! Halloween DSP from years past and found some beautiful patterns to team up with Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.
Here are 16 of them.  I used the Large Number Framelits to create the "406".

Thank you for joining me today!
If you have any questions please let me know!

Dragonfly Dreams thinking of you~card in minutes

Hello Stampers!
Hope you are having a great, productive day.  I always feel well accomplished when I am able to get a lot done in a day!  When you create a project with a two-step stamp set, you can create a card in a snap!
Here is my card in minutes share for today!
Card Stock used: Whisper White, Mint Macaron, Emerald Envy.

I used Emerald Envy ink to stamp the dragonflies from the Dragonfly Dreams photopolymer stamp set.
Next added a strip of Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper (from Sale-a-Bration which is now SOLD OUT!) with a thin strip of Emerald Envy card stock placed on the edge of Glimmer Paper.
Wrapped some Emerald Envy ribbon around the card and tied a knot.
For the final last touch to the dragonflies, I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored with a Bic Forest Green marker.

So, if you think you don't have TIME to create a card, it only takes 5 minutes or less to create a fun card with Two-Step stamps.

Thank you for joining me today!

Adorable Rocking Cradle

Hello Stampers!
I have an adorable baby rocker to share with you today.  I was going to make a video, but unfortunately I lost my voice and although it's coming back it's pretty squeaky so I didn't think you would want to listen to me squeak and squawk with the directions on how to create this adorable rocking cradle! ha-ha
I used the Subtles Collection DSP Stack for the paper, but you could also use regular card stock and stamp a design.
Materials you will need to create this project:  Layering Ovals Framelits, Stampin' Trimmer, Glue Dots and Fast Fuse, or adhesive or your choice.

Cut a 3x3" piece of DSP, one largest scalloped oval, two smallest scalloped ovals in card stock in your choice of colors I used So Saffron.
Score the large oval at one inch on each of the long sides and 3/4" on only one side of the narrow side of the oval.  Cut up the center score marks and fold like a box.
Next the square, score three sides at 3/4", cut the end score marks and fold them up like a box.
Attach the hood of the cradle with Glue Dots.  To make it rock attach the smallest scalloped ovals to the end, if desired stamp them.
You can fill them with any candy you desire!  I used pink tooling with Hershey's Kisses and Mint Patties for this tutorial.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you for joining me today!
