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!

Fun Personalized Teacher's pencils

Hi Stampers!

Here is a fun project my daughter made for her teacher.  She told me her teacher is constantly loosing her pencils because other students take them.  She said she wished we could make pencils with her name on them....well thanks to the Stampin' Up! Alphabet Rotary Stamp #133769 you can personalize anything!  She had so much fun making these pencils for her teacher. 

She used just regular # 2 pencils and stamped on Avery Permanent Stickers.  She was able to stamp them three times on one label.  Then using the Stampin' Up trimmer we cut three strips and placed a strip on each pencil.   She had so much fun I don't think her teacher will run out the rest of this year at least! 

Thanks for stopping by!

**REMINDER**  I will be closing my online store the 15th until August.  You can still look at products online at www.stampinup.net until then you can SHOP at www.stardust.stampinup.net

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.

Thanks for stopping by!

Changes will be coming my way!

Hello my fellow crafters!

I wanted to 1st thank you so much for your comments and following my blog.  It's so much fun knowing I am sharing my crafts with someone else who loves crafting!!  :)   

Then second, I have decided I will be taking a break from my Stampin' Up! business for a few months, I need to attend to my folks and their failing health. I will be shutting my website down also starting May 15th.  If you need anything you can still order online until then or you can also contact me direct and I can place an order for you.  So if you need anything online, now is the time to check it out.  www.stardust.stampinup.net or you can still contact me. 

I will try and post cards or projects when I get the time to create a few. :) 

Thank you and hope you have a wonderful day!

Mother's day card...WITH PICTURE!

Hello Stampers!  Yay!!  My computer is fixed, it turned out to be the internet and not my computer.  I guess that was good thing. 
Here is the card I wanted to share with you today but my computer thought other wise this morning!  LOL 

Card Recipe:~All Stampin' Up! products were used for this card.
This stamp set is another one that will be retiring, It's called Gifts of Kindness.  Teeny Tiny Wishes was the set I got the sentiment from.
 
Card Stock: Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Whisper White, and Calypso Coral.  Crisp Cantaloup will be retiring also.

Ink:  Basic Black Stazon and Calypso Coral.

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits folder, and Modern Label punch (both retiring!) along with the Word Window Punch, and Designer Buttons, Regals.  The Heart Boarder punch is still available in the Occasions catalog until June 2,2015.  It might be returning in the new Annual Catalog coming out in June, but I am not sure.  :) 
Snail and 2 Way glue was used to adhere the card together.

Thank you for coming back for the actual cool picture of my Mother's Day card. 
Don't forget to check out all the products on the retiring list, once they care gone, sadly they are gone for good.  You can check it out online at www.stardust.stampinup.net and if you place an online order with me you can use HOSTESS CODE:  EQEWACUY. By using this code you are helping me out.  If you purchase $150.00 or more do not use the code because you will earn your own benefits! 

Have a great...rest of the day!!

No picture ~Mother's day card

Hello Stampers!
Hope your day is going better than mine has been!  I got up early and my children were all still sleeping, so I thought I would enter my blog for today.  My computer on the other hand had another idea!!  It said 'No thank you, I don't want to work today instead I want to freeze up and be a pain!"   So I am quickly writing this at our local library to let you know I have not forgotten about you!!  :) 
I have a friend looking at our computer today so I hope I am able to get on line later to add the picture of the Mother's Day card I wanted to share!  LOL 

In the mean time, if it nice in your area go outside and enjoy it!  :)  Who knows how long we'll have this nice weather before it turns nasty again. 

Until later~
Have a great day!!!
Thanks for stopping by.

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 

Thanks for stopping by!
If you have any questions please let me know!
