It's a Beautiful Day Today + a Sneak Peek

The sun was out all day today and the weather was amazing!  My kids were outside ALL day!  I love it when that happens.  Of course I was inside most of the day cleaning, but what can you do?  I hear we are getting more rain so I will soak up as much of the sun as I can! 

On another note we are less than a week away until the new Catalogue comes in to effect and I am super excited about starting my swaps for Convention and ordering product shares for my clients (I will post these soon on here too).

In my pre-order from the new Catalogue I got this totally funky new product called Simply Pressed Clay!  Yes, that's right, Clay!!  I also got the Buttons and Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds!  I have made about 8 buttons and flowers in various colours and finally used one in a project.  Check it out...



I used a simply Whisper White base and added a Mambo Melon layer that was punched with the Scallop Trim Border.  I then added a layer from a New DSP called Gingham Garden!  Cute right?  There is some Organza Ribbon and the left accents are in Pear Pizzazz and punched from the Bird Builder punch. 

Ok that really cute blue flower; it is Simply Pressed Clay that I added a couple of drop of Marina Mist re-inker to.   I then put it in the Blossoms Clay Mold and Ta-Da ... A blue flower!

I stamped the Happy Birthday from Bring on the Cake and added some pearls to finish the effect.

I hope you like it.  Let me know what you think!

REMEMBER - This is the LAST WEEK of the current Catalogue so get the Retiring Items while you can! Also the Spring Mini retires on May 31!

You Make Me Smile

To start I just want to thank everyone who sent me a note or made a comment about my last post "Emoti-cards."  It is so great that everyone likes them so much because every time I look at them they make me smile.   So to show you all that "YOU" Make Me Smile here is a card that says just that!


I have had my "This and That" kit for awhile now and finally broke it out to play with it.  The Washi Tape and sticker are from that kit and I just love the colours and look of everything in the This and That series.   The "YOU" is from a single stamp called "Sunshine."  I just stamped it on a scrap piece of white and fussy cut it out.

 The background is a totally inspired idea I got off of Pinterest.  Do you have embossing folders laying around your craft room? If not you should, if you do then check out this great use for them!!  They are not just for embossing anymore! 
By simply adding a little ink to the raised side of the folder you can use it as a stamp.  No need for a big shot, you just lay it on the card and there you go!
 
Thanks again to everyone for your support of my blog and my work!
Let me know what you think.

Emoti-cards

I surfing the web today looking for some inspiration.   Nothing was working for me and maybe it is in part because it is a rainy, grey day out but I did not find anything to get my creative juices flowing.  This is rare for me because the internet usually has me rushing to my craft room for some me time.  

While I was on Facebook I made a little comment to some one and added my standard :).  This had me thinking, what if...



 I used circle punches for almost all of the emotes. I used the 1 3/4", 1' and the small circle from the Punch Pack.  I free had cut the straight lines. 

The challenge was finding Sentiments that I thought were fitting for the emotes.  I used Teeny Tiny Wishes and Petite Pairs. 


I had so much fun creating these and the possibilities are so vast!  Just Google Emoticons and wow there are loads!!









I hope you enjoy these little notes as much as I do.  Let me know what you think!

Challenge -- Freshly Made Sketches #86

It has been awhile since I did a Challenge but I was feeling stuck on a project today and just wanted some inspiration.  These challenges always get my creative juices flowing.  As I said in my last post I am totally in love with the Mosaic Madness set that is coming out soon so I put it to use on this card. 


The Sentiment is also from the new catalogue.  The set is called "Really Good Greetings."


The Colours are the new In Colours also; Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana!

Mosaic Madness -- Sneak Peek

This is one of the most exciting product bundles in the New Catalogue!  Mosaic Madness and a coordinating punch!   I have seen so many wonderful cards already on Pinterest and the possibilities are endless.  Colour will really come in to play with this set as you can really highlight the wonderful coordinating colours that are Stampin' Up's signature.  I am excited to get this on a Scrapbook page too!   Here is the first (of what I am sure will be many) card I created with this set.



The colours I choose for this card are Early Espresso, Whisper White and my new favourite colour Strawberry Slush!!! Yum.

I will be in my craft room again this week and I am sure I will have another card for you using this really fun set.

New In-Colours - Sneak Peek

I am in love with the In Colours coming out in the next catalogue and although I cannot tell you all the colours just yet here is a card I made with 3 of them! For this card I did a direct to paper technique with the ink pads.  I love how it turned out. It is kind of yummy looking I think.



The Sentiment and Coordinating punch are also from the New Catalogue and I just love the shape of this label set!  I really love how the font of this stamp fits in with the overall feel of the card too.  I am so excited to show you more from the new catalogue.

Let me know what you think!

Bombs Away Birthday Set

I am a little behind in my posts lately.  The weather has finally been nice and I have been trying to enjoy it!  So now that we are back to seasonal temperatures and the wind is a bit chilly I got back in my craft room yesterday.   A few weeks ago Stampin' Up released their second Photopolymer Stamp Set and I fell in love with it right away.  It is so fun for Birthdays!  

This is the first card I have made with it, it is totally retro and so fun.


When is the last time you listened to vinyl?  I am just in love with these cute records.  I simply used circle punches to create the records and stamped the sentiment in basic black.  The cardstock is also simply Whisper White and Basic Black.  This card could not be easier to make! 
 
Check out the Bombs Away Birthday set!
